Every virus infection can turn into a long recovery. There is no proof this is longer for Covid-19.

The Epstein-Barr virus for example can make you tired for months or years.

I am not saying long Covid isn't a thing, but it is not 'special' in any way.

Virus infections can cause damage. Years ago I had an infection that damaged a nerve. So virus infections can leave marks. But most of the time, as with Covid, you will recover from it.
It might be an honest mistake. The definition of “minority” is one of those things that is very fluid lately.
Thanks for expressing how I feel. Winter was always the worst season for me. With Covid it has become unbearable. I’ve lost 50% of my life quality.
If your line of work is "being one of those who can properly identify and point out oppression," and then "sell training/books/seminars/etc to make people feel like they're doing something to resolve it," it would be bad for business to actually change the state of things.

Greer did some writing on this state of things, and termed it "The Rescue Game" [0].

It's notably static, in that the people who claim the high position in the game really don't want to be removed from that position.

Domestic abuse is a crime, and there is a civic duty to report it. I don't know the details but in the most serious cases, it can be illegal not to, and the law protects those who do.

Having an opinion is not a crime neither is being straight, gay or whatever you can think of as long as it is safe, sane and consensual.

And generally, when a kid shows strategic thinking, the school tells the parents about it and the chess club. There may be reasons why parents don't want their kid to play chess, and if it is not part of the curriculum, it is not something for the school to decide, they can make suggestions but parents have the final word.

Also, noticing strategic thinking does not need to involve spying. If the chess coach looked as search histories for recruitment, that would be a problem.
Thanks. Looks like you can filter my link by London as well, which shows hospital admissions have doubled in the last 10 days from about 1/6 to about 1/3 of the previous peak (though patients in hospital is lower at 1/4, possibly reflecting shorter stays but hard to say). London cases have continued spiking since but may possibly be peaking now (not sure how much lag there is in backdating reported cases here) so it will be interesting to see how much the hospital numbers rise from here.
Because kids actually should have a say. Like you don’t just all of a sudden gain sentience on your 18th birthday. Kids are people too and have should have a right to control their life to some degree.

It also works. Have you heard of democratic schools (also known as free schools)? The kids govern themselves, set rules, dictate curriculum. They have quite strong outcomes for students.
The declarations of secession by Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Virginia, and Texas only mention slavery 83 times [1][2] between them, but if revisionists are to be believed, they were obviously not about a state's right to enslave human beings and to own them as property. [3]

[1] https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declarati...

[2] That word happens to be mentioned only 11 times in the entirety of the text of Huckleberry Finn, by the way.

[3] The word 'property' appears 16 times, and refers to human beings in every single one of those instances.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure "specific to" here means "comes from the culture of," not "can only ever apply to people of the following ethnicity."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender

> [Third gender is] a social category present in societies that recognize three or more genders.

This article provides some examples from around the world of cultures which recognize nonbinary genders. I'm not used to that, and evidently you aren't either, because the concept isn't "specific to" the cultures we grew up in.
I think such design things overall is what's needed to make things safe for the environment all around, but if there was stuff that was known to designers 40-50 years ago that wasn't properly logged "and lived within the walls" then we might encounter minor failures (that in worst case could lead to major ones).

Reading about many of the early accidents in military and early nuclear industry, I'm not too sure that there wasn't quite a bit of "trying and failing" going on back then, and while that culture is not up to the NASA standards we see in space flights we've also seen how some of their contractors got slower and slower to the point where they lost the ability to finish things in time (and as time drags on the repeating of mistakes will come up again).

> I personally think that YLL of 2-9x the flu after mitigations clearly justified the mitigations

To properly debate this claim we need to know (1) the baseline -- how many YLLs are caused by flu?, and (2) how many YLLs were _saved_ by the mitigations. (Would we have had 2x more Covid deaths without them? 10x? 1.1x?)
That seems to be a fair assessment.
that's an entirely fair criticism, but peer-led opinion suppression is via taboo and taboos are transient and organically go through cultural waves -- have been for centuries. When a state starts doing it it usually requires catastrophic change that, maybe if you're lucky, won't hurt too many people -- but it's almost always painful, and sudden.

This is racial discrimination. It's unfair and should be illegal.

I understand that in some countries with a long history of racial segregation there still is a culture of casual (or even subconscious) racism when considering new hires or university applicants. It's unspoken but very real and unless you've been an immigrant or minority you don't get to see the full extend of it.

But (and it's a big but) you don't solve this problem with more racism. I see headlines about US universities rejecting applicants because of their race or skin colour and how they "already have enough of them". That is crazy. Imagine how unfair it is to be rejected on that basis.

It's hard to tackle conspiring racists as a legislator. That's why all these weird half-measures came to be. But there are better ways. Standardized tests as the main or only criteria for university entry. Effective committees that oversee hiring choices and seek for evidence of racism and favoritism in the choices made by companies.

But when you impose objective criteria you risk hurting the wealthy and well-connected. So it's "better" to just shove a few more minorities on the list and make it look right without it actually being fair.

Another serious side-effect of this is that it breeds racism and resentment.
Not understanding what you are both getting at ... the situation has maybe changed now.

But before, here at least, it was repeatedly underestimating the in the aftermath clearly visible exponential growth, exactly as the r factor is calculated? Which scientist/MD doesn't understand there is a saturation, in the extreme even schoolers understand you cannot have more than 100% infected.

Yes, at some point it is becoming logistic, but the previous waves were not about getting anywhere there, but going from 0.1% to 1% or more, and there it was truly exponential growth and overwhelming the health care system, what the start of that logistic curve is about..?!
Is an airframe parachute essentially a requirement for a vehicle like this to be viable?
We can transport it a fair bit further than that, but only under ideal circumstances that are rarely met, and its very rare the grid is built for it, its never been needed after all. For instance, regulatory issues usually mean that every country border crossed tends to have a transformer station, which makes minor changes at a 10% or so efficiency loss.

If children are being harmed by decisions, how is it not controversial?
Currently tech interviewers use different tools like Google Docs, Confluence, etc. to maintain their bank of questions, sync with other interviewers and take notes. It does the job for small teams with infrequent hiring but for the larger teams that constantly conduct interviews, it might create some friction.

We decided to build a platform that solves the problem of interview standardisation and consistency as well as makes it easy to evaluate candidates using star ratings.

Any kind of feedback would be really appreciated!
If someone in this thread claims otherwise, you should post those videos.

I was responding to this point:

> i wonder how people here inte west think of china. do you really think that GESTAPO will come and beat the shit out of you just because you were talking shit?

My point is that it does appear that the police in China will come and arrest you if you speak negatively about them. My point is not "The American system is better than the Chinese system". We should speak candidly and truthfully about the failings of each system.

Does that make sense?

Edit: I just now realize you were the original poster. You made a comparison between Germany and China and when an inconsistency was pointed out to you, you responded by pointing out faults in the American justice system.

It would likely do you good to reflect on this. When flaws with China are pointed out, why would you jump to point out wrongdoings in America? It had as much relevance as pointing out police brutality in Brazil or some other unrelated country. You should try to better understand why you have reacted this way.
Yeah. I'm off the "market" for 15+ years, but I really worry when I read about normal-seeming 20 year olds (or even younger) who met their partners on Tinder. It's something that's going to affect young people whether they take part in it themselves or not. Ruthless markets in relationships probably aren't going to make them happy.
>America isn't perfect, but it's pretty damned good.

And this is because of generations who got blasted for fighting against the current norms at the time. Whether it was fighting against slave holders or during times like the civil rights era when the southerners were willing to make some compromises but in regards to full civil rights they pushed back and said "lets not move too fast on this, its too much change too quickly". No, it took the real brave people who were that generations extremists to drag the country kicking and screaming in to the future. Even then the rebels were only successful because of circumstances beyond their control (eg. JFK assassination paved the way for pushing the civil rights bill through).

So yeah you seem to be implying that the Americans whining and complaining today should look at places like China and see how good they have it(the standard right wing trope displayed on places like the Joe Rogan podcast) however you fail to see how this messy process that unfortunately involves things like wokeism, BLM and this constant extreme push for other real progressive causes will hopefully eventually lead to an America that the next generation can say with more confidence that "America isn't perfect, but it's pretty damned good."
Is there an objective way for the government to identify gay people that isn't based on self identification? If a gay man's rights are being violated on a protected basis, does the court refuse to hear the case until he has sex with another man in front of the judge and jury?

Self identification is entirely how social categories function.

Postmodernism isn't prescriptive, it's descriptive - it describes how things already work.
"A portion of sales will be donated to open source projects, collectives, and foundations featured in this project."

What portion? 90%? 1%? Do they also get a cut of the commission of future sales the NFT takes?

To me, it makes a big difference if the funds are primarily going towards open source projects Vs into the photographer's pocket.

I think a concrete example of a law being broken by teachers not being actively homophobic or transphobic would be a substantive contribution to this discussion. Until then, it's not clear what law or regulation the teachers represented by the CTA are violating.
I mean again I'm no expert but it seems to me that if all these people are supposed to do is treat exactly one illness, it would be possible to train a certain set of people on how to manage 80% of the workload and escalate the exceptions to somebody with more knowledge.

It isn't like this staff has to treat anything else.

Just an idea. Like I said, I'm no expert but the fact that absolutely nobody has attempted to figure it out is bullshit. They haven't even tried. They just keep throwing out excuse after excuse and blaming the public for their failures.

They literally have almost unlimited resources. They could get shit figured out somehow.

Actually is not that difficult: three reactors out of six remaining are closing.

Not saying that the closing is right, but the heading is a little click-baity. Reactors are only about 2-3% of installed capacity, about 6% of production. It's not good, but it's not a catastrophe either.

On a related note, we have here in the US a sudden wave of "culture revolution 3.0" with its proponents using the very same tactics. It's well known that Xi is preparing to enter the chip manufacturing business in 10 years, and since US is the only real opponent, Xi wisely chose to disarm us with the adapted version of "culture revolution". For this reason, I believe, he'll massively increase investments in pushing this movement in the coming years.
Sure, but the first step to evaluating if an idea is "the best decision [we] can [make] in a reasonable time" is to understand what the idea is.

So, per all of my questions, how does this idea work? How is market share defined and measured?
That’s interesting - do Google/TikTok use cloudflare in front of all their ingress points? If not, I don’t see how Cloudflare could get an accurate assessment of the number of hits. I guess I’m just not sure how Cloudflare Radar works.
But this contradicts your earlier comment where you attributed it to poor decision making, misinformation, and so on.

If one indeed puts greater value on "not indefinitely social distancing" than on "a slightly decreased risk of death or serious complications from Covid", then the decision not to continue social distancing is a good one.

Can we be sure what "localised" means in this context?

If you destroy an area and some people lose one particular function, while other people only lose small fragments of the function - which seems to be true of Broca's region - can the function really be said to be localised?

The victims are better off than they were before. Before, they were harassed and beaten. Now, they have a choice. They can either medicate with psychiatric drugs, simply express themselves as the gender they feel themselves to be, or surgically and hormonally change themselves. None of those three options will let them live the lives they wish to lead, but the best option is different for different people, and they have the choice to figure out which is best for them without society responding with violence.
Yup - I'm well aware - and the barrier to entry for HN is pretty much non-existent. Some features are locked behind karma accumulation but most of the moderation is done manually and the community is small(ish) enough and of a professional bent - meaning that a lot of people know who other folks are IRL. Removing the anonymous factor for a large portion of commenters makes them follow the rules a lot better.

There still are lots of issues with smurf accounts though, again, there's a sort of barrier to entry in that extremely new and low karma accounts can get their comments [dead]'d very trivially.

Two Spirit is a broad, generic term for 'Queer' that existed among native peoples pre-colonialisation.

The commenter indicating that it's 'A Vancouver' thing is not quite right: it's broadly an Aboriginal issue, not just an issue of the West Coast tribes. That said, the commenter is correct in that it's more sensitive issue among the Woke Left in the Vancouver area as it's part of their social consensus lingo.

I suggest if you live in Canada, it's probably something to be aware of as this language will show up in institutions in the East as well.

Despite my reluctance around the kinds of groups running these programs, in the United States sadly there seems to be no effort at all to support Aboriginals as part of the core minorities, in lieu of other groups. And so I don't think we'll see this language on MSNBC anytime soon, though I wish there was more attention to this group as a whole.
Its easier when you think of them as sovereign separate cultures with their own customs than just an amorphous “indigenous” ethnicity.

And then conform that to majority society while trying to maintain representation and respect. Thats why it looks sillier than it is.

It is my understanding that most weight loss attempts are rather successful at the beginning (several weeks), they tend to slide towards a plateau in a few months and it is a real challenge not to gain the lost weight back in a year or two. Long term success rate seems to be around 20 per cent. [0]

At the risk of sounding stupid or glib, the best strategy is "not to play", e.g. never gain the extra weight in the first place. Which may not be feasible for people who grow up in fat families and already reach adulthood as obese.

But the still-nonobese people should be vigilant.

My current Best Guess from reading Reliable Internet Sources(tm):

> What’s the hospitalization rate and long term effects from Omicron COVID?

Hospitalization could be about the same. While we see decreased hospitalisations in South Africa, the assumption is that this is due to widespread immunity from exposure to earlier waves and vaccinations. For the last two weeks, Omicron has been hitting populations that have higher shares of naive subjects. Now the first results on hospitalizations are coming in. Refreshing my tabs constantly :-)

I assume that long-term damage is related to immediate severity, so it's likely not going to be worse. But I'm out on a twig here.

> Do we have sufficient data to suggest that it’s milder than Delta etc?

Suggestive evidence of mildness is being discussed. No conclusions.
Vaccines were readily available; perhaps no one predicted quite so many people would avoid them, preferring to take a chance suffocating to death. Administering vaccines is orders of magnitude cheaper and easier than expanding hospitals.
Not "could". They're legally mandated in pretty much all new buildings.
I like it when people link the actual declarations, because Mississippi's in particular is a doozy:

"Whataboutism" was popularized by Western propagandists at the height of the Cold War to deal with the uncomfortable reality that the USA and USSR, as modern empires competing for global economic/military/ideological domination, had far more in common than either would like to admit. Food for thought.
> makes those who refuse to work ICUs suddenly interested in the job

Then fucking draft them into working in an ICU like you would draft somebody into a war. Build a second story on their house. I don't care. This shit is an existential emergency where we asked hundreds of millions of people to put 2 years of their life on hold to build healthcare up. Figure it out. If healthcare capacity was the reason we did all this, then we should have poured the entire nation's worth of resources into building healthcare capacity. Period.

It is absolutely inexcusable to continue playing the "healthcare might collapse" card 2 years into this. If people used this many excuses back in WWII we'd have lost the damn war. "Oh, it takes 4 years to design a build a ship... sorry. we can't just pull ships out of our butt. Guess we will just have to let them win". Bullshit. We made it happen. We could make it happen for this too.

This is supposed to be an emergency, remember? Every second you have people in lockdown is a second of each of those peoples very short lives you've now wasted. Figure it out!
