> Color is one of the items on the long list of things to try to avoid when programming.

Too late. I got annoyed by the lack of support for HWB, LCH and LAB in Chrome/Firefox. Safari now supports them for CSS, but has not yet made the effort to support them in the canvas element. I wanted users of my JS canvas library to be able to fill and stroke things using any valid CSS color string ... so I've been doing the work to make it happen over the holidays.

It's been worth the effort. Red > Blue gradients look so, so much better when using LAB color space values, compared to what you normally get using RGB.

I'm curious how it's a whitewash of government bullies when that's not the point of the article? It's pretty clear at the start that it's about how his friends and family perceived him, and his backstory - I was aware of the overall narrative, but found it extremely interesting to hear stories of his challenges with interacting with the world.

In general, I respect and appreciate content that takes someone who has been lionized (especially posthumously) and humanizes them. People are complicated, the narrative is rarely as simple as it's distilled down for public consumption.

As far as the "squarely in the corner of intelligence agences and law enforcement" - that wasn't my impression, and while I did not spend hours researching, I went through the "police" tag on the new yorker website, and in the last year, 10 out of 21 articles were overtly critical of police, and only ~2 could be considered positive towards police. The remainder were either neutral, nuanced, or orthogonal (e.g. photo essays about a woman who was embedded with the police for several years). Do you have evidence to back up your assertion?
> He broke the law and was likely to get a slap on the wrist.

Sometimes, the law is unjust and it is greater injustice to administer any punishment at all.
That's not how it works. We have employee protections that are intended to prevent exploitation. If those are failing, there is definitely something wrong with that.
The state doesn't track who is cheating, so all they can do to protect kids is to assume everyone is equally likely to cheat. If you think it is better they tracked your sex life to ensure they didn't punish the wrong people then you have very different values than most.

> The research impresses Nussenzweig and other scientists who have reviewed a preprint of the results, posted yesterday on medRxiv. “It’s a textbook example of how natural immunity is really better than vaccination,” says Charlotte Thålin, a physician and immunology researcher at Danderyd Hospital and the Karolinska Institute who studies the immune responses to SARS-CoV-2. “To my knowledge, it’s the first time [this] has really been shown in the context of COVID-19.”

> Putrino has noticed that even being fully vaccinated doesn’t necessarily protect against long COVID. Many of his clients were infected before vaccines were rolled out, and had been coping with symptoms for a year or more before they were referred to him. But he has seen about a dozen people who experienced long COVID from ‘breakthrough’ infections — in which vaccinated people catch the coronavirus.

Capitalism is dead too... what needs to emerge is a combined libertarian socialism w/ a free market.

i.e. worker/consumer co-ops w/ unions just baked in, high quality worker pay, benefits, etc... and a social contract that those who do a good job get upward mobility, and can rise up in life.

I'm strictly speaking against socialism in the statist variety. I'd support M4A if it passed, and the reason I take the libertarian road is ... I don't see govt really doing much for us ever...In fact I'd rather see something like 60% of taxes go towards local, 30% towards state, and 10% towards federal, w/ the fed ONLY being responsible for national security, and interstate commerce. Each state would maintain their own military (EU style), and the governors would have to agree to go to war...35/50 maybe...

Federal rules/regulations like FDA, USDA, etc.. might be more regional...think of splitting the U.S. into 5 major regions... the idea being that people should have more control over their destiny and govt locally than relying on a body of career politicians who are out of touch in D.C.

Along w/ all these things ranked-choice voting or something similar should just be the norm.

Edit : Per the m4a ... I think a syndicate of unions and co-ops could build their own shared insurance/mutual aid network better than the govt, and w/out needing the feds to be involved at all. It'd just take a partnership between workers, co-ops, unions, and consumers to support co-ops over non-co-ops so there's money for these things.
> That's a fairly week post-hoc claim that was oversold in the media.

Besides CDC Director Walensky's claim that the vaccines would prevent transmission, another well-known and trusted figure named Tony Fauci made the same claim:

Masks off? Fauci confirms ‘extremely low’ risk of transmission, infection for vaccinated https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/dr-fauci-confirms-extreme...

If they are 5.25" 1.2MB high density floppies, that's a max of 64k per person. What the what?
Maybe because the study has nothing to do with boosters or overall Covid risk. Myocarditis risk is lower with boosters than with 2nd shot in Israeli studies, but again the reason to get vaccinated is not just about myocarditis.

More nuance and Israeli data here: https://www.statnews.com/2021/12/09/fda-expands-authorizatio... (this is also about teens specifically and not <45 question in the GP)
Absolutely agree.

Further, whenever someone is adjusting table performance index tweaks is almost always the first thing to tackle.

Adding foreign keys into the query is just as bad as adding indexes into the query (which, you can do in T-SQL, but generally shouldn't). Indexes can be dropped, changed, or added and you SHOULD be relying on the SQL optimizer to use the most appropriate index.

This feature appears to only save a bit of typing in the best of scenarios. In the worst, an update/drop of a foreign key will end up breaking a bunch of queries, which is insane.

MS-DOS wasn't much more than a program loader, it wasn't supposed to protect anything. After your program did its worst, the OS was write protected, and the only thing you could mess up would be any floppy disks that weren't write protected. It was trivial to reset to a known good state.

It was easy to quantify your risk, as it only had write capabilities to the floppy disks without write-protect tabs.

That is what made it possible to just try anything, and not worry about it.

>for males younger than 40, risk of myocarditis from the vaccine and disease is similar.

When a person has COVID-19, is myocarditis the only symptom that can kill them?

Total risk of death and injury from COVID-19 is far greater than the total risk of death and injury from vaccine-induced symptoms.

Mandating boosters is very easily justified.

What about anti-vaxers? Harmful misinformation isn't confined to places like Myanmar.

I don't see how you can just say it's "imposing your biases" to fact check things. The fact checking may be influenced by your biases, but "vaccines are safe and effective" isn't a bias. It's the truth.
Vaccinated individuals hit the same peak mRNA loads for the same symptom severity on average. Their time to recover is faster though, and at peak you recover less viable virus indicating they are producing more viral debris.

And that's after fewer people who are vaccinated catch the virus, and there's more aborted infections and asymptomatic infections after vaccination.

All of those studies use PCR Ct values as proxies for viruses and compare vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals with similar symptom severity, and it turns out that correlates at peak because symptoms are on average due to antigen loading. Those studies aren't very good at showing how effective vaccination is at preventing transmission. They just show that its nonzero.
There's a dead comment asking if you have a source, and the commenter appears to have attempted finding it themselves.

At this point you should realize your proposal is a non-starter, and I didn't even realize btilly's objection originally.

I can't think of any other feature in SQL where the rules of the query are actually dependent on something not explicit to the query itself. Even USING and NATURAL are just syntactic sugar that depends on the structure of the table, not on any underlying constraints.

So, what you have proposed, "allowing a user to drop the referential integrity check if desired, but keeping the relationship definition" would be a massive change to tons of SQL tools out there as it's a huge new feature, for some minor syntactic sugar. Ain't gonna happen.

Yes, that's the conclusion. You could quibble a bit and compare CAE hospitalizations instead, but they'd still exceed the expected 120-day COVID-19 hospitalization rate. On the other hand, "expected" is based on past data, and their benchmark for "high" hospitalization risk is January 2021 in the US. Depending on how much higher the current wave will go, it might retrospectively turn out to be safer to have gotten vaccinated after all, even if you're a 12-year-old boy without comorbidities.

I honestly don't have the strength for this discussion anymore, but it does make a pretty signifcant difference between seeing two thirty-somethings struggling for their lives vs. 20.

It really depends on what was burned. I suspect in general municipal waste probably gets less toxic in total but more difficult to handle. That said toxicity in general is less of an issue than what escapes into the environment, and here I think traditional waste disposal has real advantages.

I'm vaccinated but do not plan to get a booster of the original vaccine. If a new and dangerous variant shows up, and we have a vaccine specifically for that variant, I will consider that new shot, just as I do with yearly flu shots.

What many people miss when they advocate for boosters is that antibody count is not the full story. When it comes to protection against severe disease, cell-mediated immunity is key and doesn't go away.

Here's the most relevant science I've found about the effectiveness of the booster.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2115926

If you look at the results table, the booster does benefit everyone. I can't argue with that. However, the absolute counts shown in that table paint a more nuanced picture.

While the 60+ crowd gets significant benefits from being boosted, making it a no-brainer for them, the under 60 crowd has less benefit. The under 60 crowd is already relatively safe from severe disease and death with the original vaccine dose.

Being healthy and under 60, I need to weigh these mild benefits with the cons: 1) normalizing mandated boosters as an ongoing way of life and 2) extending the pandemic by using up booster doses instead of sending them to undervaccinated countries (the ones where new variants are popping up).

Instead of getting in the habit of being boosted with the same vaccine every 3-6 months for mild benefit, I think it makes much more sense to take a holistic view that helps us end this pandemic.

As I point out in the guide, just some guidance as to what paths are well worn.

That's a good point, and I share that concern to some extent. But in thinking about it I guess I'm of the impression this happens anyway with private ISPs and the government? Private courts, state privilege, etc. Maybe if it were through the USPS it would force some transparency as well due to it not being private.

Also, I would be concerned if all the private ISPs disappeared also. Ideally I'd like to see something like is the case with physical delivery, where you have the USPS, FexEx, UPS, DHL, etc. Having the USPS be an ISP of sorts would hopefully not kill private offerings, along the same lines. Especially so given that we're in a de facto monopoly situation at the level of specific geographic locations often now. Introducing competition where the market has failed to do so shouldn't be a problem, and if it is, there are larger issues.

If anything I could see this being selling point for private ISPs, "use us and don't worry about the government because we have everything locked down in X, Y, and Z manner."
> 6 months does not sound like the disproportionate punishment many make it out to be

From the article, it seems that he was concerned about how being a convicted felon would hurt his career prospects. It would reduce his likelihood of being able to save the world. Not that he would have, anyway, but I think that's part of the thought process.

Speaking for me personally, six months in federal prison would feel like an almost life-ending scenario. I'd lose my job (obviously) and would have trouble finding another in the field for which I'm educated and trained. My fiancee would not have sufficient income to pay our mortgage so we'd lose our house, and I'm not sure what we'd be able to do for the many pets we love dearly. My situation's much different from Swartz's but I can empathize that a six month sentence could have such dramatic consequences that it wouldn't feel like a slap on the wrist.

> As such, I’ve been trying to find the non-extremist[1] anti-vaccine argument… but I’ve struggled

I doubt that you've really never heard any opposition to covid vaccines that aren't deranged things, but okay, I'll bite.

Simply being against forcing people to get covid vaccinated is now defined as "anti-vaccine"... So if, by chance, you also don't think people should be forcefully injected, you're anti-vax too.

Covid vaccines clearly had some positive effects, especially for vulnerable people, but:

* I don't think the balance is right between the risk of catching the virus versus forcing everyone to get vaccinated every few months

* If you think there are no problems with vaccines how do you contend with Astra Zeneca being abandoned in so many places and Moderna being disallowed for under 30s?

* Studies show that kids have more heart issues from the vaccine than from the virus. It's a sick society where we care more about the risk of passing the virus to adults than the risk on the kids.

* If everyone is following the science, why do so many countries have different policies? Especially when it comes to masking and vaccinating kids?

* It's not great to play along with the removal of your rights. How are you ever going to recover them?

But most importantly:

* I shouldn't have to have a reason. We used to think that every man is his own master and he's allowed to make wrong decisions. Do you know how some people have cards saying "do not resuscitate"? Science may decide that the person needs to be alive so he needs to be forcefully resuscitated, but we used to respect people's choices anyway.

Now, because of an infectious disease (as if we've never had one before), we've thrown the individual out the window and worship The Science, even though every government as a different The Science.
Yes. Unless this family is absurdly rich like hundreds of millions. If that’s true I am wrong. Otherwise, the wealthier American icon is still different enough where a [direct] comparison does not work.
The study indeed did not set out to prove negative efficacy but a negative VE of 75% is a result that absolutely warrants further research.
If I build a bridge across a river and setup a toll booth, then yes, I should expect a return that reflects the capital, time, and risk I took in constructing the bridge. However, when I abuse my monopoly over the bridge to extract a return in excess of that, then I'm seeking economic rent.

Renting out a property is (by definition) a form of rent seeking, but it only becomes a problem when rent seekers have monopolistic market power as the rents they seek cannot be restrained by normal market forces. One only needs to look at the consolidation of the movie industry to see such power in action.

I'm not defending intellectual property theft, I'm (quite modestly) suggesting that rights holders should pay a surcharge (similar to real property taxes) in return for the state allowing for them to extract monopolistic profits from their copyright holdings.
