This is self-reported data. Self-reported data is garbage. There's simply too much risk of bias.

To illustrate the point, a large study out of France found that the only "long covid" symptom that actually correlates with confirmed illness was loss of smell. But there were multiple "long covid" symptoms that correlated with self-reported illness.

We have to be careful to separate populations by severity of disease, hospitalization, etc., but "long covid" is at least partly psychosomatic.
> I’m not sold on this one, and I’ll totally begin bolstering anti-establishment sentiment if they are the only ones willing to disagree.

I’m a compliant, conformist Asian, and they’re beginning to lose even me. My nine year old’s private school required everyone to get vaccinated (and we’re in a county where vaccination rates are high) but for some reason she is still wearing masks and eating lunch outside in the winter. My three year old—who is a hyperactive little boy to begin with—suffering developmental delays because he can’t understand instructions from masked teachers. For example, we do a gym class on Saturdays and he can’t tell which of the instructors he should be listening to, against the background noise. I cheat and take off my mask to give him instructions. I’ve noticed—that in a class where I suspect everyone is a democrat (blue state, almost entirely non-white or interracial)—about half the other parents are doing the same thing.
> They've already backpedaled the vaccine story from stopping transmission to preventing the most severe symptoms.

In practice, we have always, always, always known that vaccination did not stop transmission but simply made cases significantly less severe. Unfortunately that is not what was communicated, and many parties basically lied and said the vaccine stopped transmission.

This is the third time by my count that an official lie about covid was spoken, proven wrong, and recanted. I'm very pro-vaccine, but by god we need to stop lying to people.

> The official numbers say kids under 18 don't die from this virus.

Yeah, kids are basically fine. Vaccinations don't hurt them but they're a really low risk group to begin with. The mask thing is silly for kids - you can kind of make an argument it helps protect teachers/babysitters/etc, but that is a group that should be mandated to be vaccinated in the first place.

> Yet they are still pushing these admittedly non-neutralizing vaccines on children as young as 5 and talking about mandates for them as well?

Kids being vaccinated results in no harm. It may, depending on long term protection plays out, save them having to worry about getting vaccinated as an adult. For lots of reasons, mostly tied to schooling, we're pretty good about getting kids vaccinated and really bad about getting adults vaccinated, so it's generally desirable to get all the life-long (or really long lived) vaccines into kids, even if they don't need them immediately.

I definitely could be absolutely wrong about this, but I don't think computational photography will be a huge way forward for these kinds of cameras.

Smartphones have fully taken over the light/compact segment, they're better at it, you always have it with you and they've gotten good enough that for anything 'happy snap', a smartphone will do the job fine.

The professional/high end hobbyist segment is still going strong, and I think is growing steadily. The appeal, for me at least, is a lot about the creative control. I'm the one creating the image, not the device I'm using. There are computational tools I can use, but I'd want to do anything like that after the fact, and Photoshop has added some tools pushing this forward, but I do think there's a lot of room for a more ML focused editing experience.

There is a certain amount of push for computational features that help with taking a photo, like fast autofocus that can see a face and focus on the eyes.

When it comes to actually generating or modifying the image, I think this is a line that most photographers don't want to cross.

I bought a usb floppy drive last month off amazon to archive disks of historical value to my company. It was delivered in 1 day.
Well...

Let us assume that 1) the more people who get vaccinated, the less the disease spreads through the population, 2) the old are at greater risk from the disease, 3) the young are at greater risk from the vaccine than they are from the disease. And 4), which is not an assumption, that the young have more to lose - if they die, they miss more of the life they could have had; if they have permanent damage, they have to live with the damage for longer.

Should we ask the young to take the risk? It depends on how much risk they face from the vaccine, and how much the vaccine reduces the spread (and therefore the risk to the old). Does the total damage (measured in "quality years of life lost" or some such) increase or decrease if we vaccinate the young? I don't know if we have the data to answer the question; I'm fairly certain that if we do have the data, it isn't solid yet (that is, it could significantly change as we get better data).

Should we force the young to take the risk? That's a similar question, but the standard for "forcing" should be significantly higher than the standard for "asking". (In the same way, we'll draft the young if the military situation is dire enough, but until then, we have a volunteer military.)

Sort of in the industry...but not an expert in cameras, more the commercials

DSLR is dead. Nikon and Canon were caught sleeping by Sony who stole their lunch with mirrorless.

I don't think the argumentative tone was warranted. No one is suggesting that anyone be forced to use a mouse or that accessibility solely using the keyboard be limited in any way. But there is definitely the appearance of an aversion to the mouse in some a older (and things that want to seem old-school) Unix/Linux tools.

For _some_ people, the mouse is easier to use, so increases accessibility for _them_. I think the OP was implying that better mouse accessibility could be added on-top of the existing keyboard support.

No "real" public official I believe ever said this.
The data was from a cognitive assessment, not self-reported. There were some self-reported components, like do you have depression, anxiety, etc. But the measurement of cognition was not self reported.
>They don't prevent transmission (like we were all told initially)

They do prevent transmission to a certain extent.
That's completely useless. Vaccines are only useful if they stop or slow the spread. There are plenty of other treatments that are successful at preventing severe illness.

So what does forcing people to get a third vaccine really accomplish? In my opinion two things, further erosion of our freedoms, and huge profits for big pharma.

As I said elsewhere in this thread, the slogan of standford is literally "The wind of freedom blows". This policy does absolutely nothing to further anyone's freedom.
All major markets are completely open, the boosters lack the same veracity as initial vaccination and infection. We are going to learn to live with that.

Again, do the added shots help with death and or hospitalization to such a degree that it’s worth the risk? Maybe I’m wrong, but from what I can see, given the age group of those involved in this particular population, the answer is no. They were already at low risks of death and or hospitalization. They were at low risk of complications from the disease itself. The benefit of the booster vaccine appears to be low in the population. Why risk it?

Having police disciplinary records is important for criminal defendants. Sometimes prosecutors keep what is called "Brady Lists" of all the cops who are known liars who should be kept away from the witness stand or else their credibility will be ruined and the prosecutor will lose their case. So prosecutors have tried to keep these lists secret because they need bogus cops as these cops will go to any lengths to convict a person, just like the prosecutor's office.

If the disciplinary records can be destroyed then this is a huge bonus for the government as without them the cops are totally clean.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_v._Maryland#Aftermath

In my criminal case, of the two officers that indicted me, one badly beat an unarmed Mexican man who had committed no crime and then lied about it to the investigators saying that the man "ran into the front of the squad car" (luckily the investigators believed the passers-by who testified); the other cop was caught making up fake search warrants to go through people's houses, but managed to wriggle out of the charges and quit the force to avoid anything further. [in the first case the prosecutors have never disclosed the misconduct; in the second they were very proactive in disclosure]

I implied no such thing. I said exactly what the data says: risk of myocarditis from the vaccine is on par with (or exceedds) the risk of myocarditis from the virus itself.

Comparing that to CFR is irrelevant. Also, you don't understand the meaning of CFR -- the rate of death amongst confirmed illnesses. It overstates actual risk by at least a factor of 10, and probably more than that. There have been far more cases than ever confirmed by testing.

Best estimates of IFR for SARS-CoV2 by age indicate a mortality risk of approximately 0.004% for those under age 34:

This is my experience as well. Was infected February 2021 and was totally without smell for around 4 months until it slowly recovered. But like you said it's different now, where certain things smell differently but I can still identify them. Same goes for taste, in particular onions smell and taste almost entirely different than before I got sick.
Paper factories aside, it can be very field dependent. I knew mathematical physicists who struggled to write more than a few papers a year because they chose to chase closed form solutions for their problems (also already had tenure). I also knew organic chemists who would take a molecule, swapped an methyl for a ethyl and write a paper about the new molecule. Voila: 24 papers a year
I think it's understandable, but not necessarily accurate.

First, in the US, seasonal flu vaccines are used by >50% of the population (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/fluvaxview/coverage-2021estimates.ht...). Yes, they're not mandatory, but many employers heavily encourage it.

Second, chickenpox is compulsory for public schooling in a majority of states, and has a CFR of about 1/100k (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/varicella.html#:~....), which is, if I am reading https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2021.7384... correctly, significantly lower than the covid CFR for the same age strata.

Obviously it also makes sense to consider things like safety of the vaccine, risk to vulnerable populations, etc. But just on its face, it's not obvious that the covid vaccines are in any way contrary to prior precedent, at least not to me.
Interesting, that seems to strictly criminalize cartoons then. I wonder if that’s ever been enforced or challenged.

Not sure why you bring up solar. I agree 100% it’s ineffective to battle climate change. My urging for widespread migration to fission is about halting our current emissions.

I think your overall point is ignoring the ability to develop carbon sequestration at industrial scale. Where currently sequestration is hampered by requiring large energy expenditure, nuclear could potentially remove that as a barrier. There are other techniques like curing cement with CO2 that offer a path forward for large scale carbon sequestration. I think the story is not one of hoplessness and just trying to adapt to a baked in bad situation. I do agree the solutions need to be multifaceted. Fission to tackle the vast majority of energy needs and sequestration to get CO2 concentrations back down.

There is secondary damage we certainly can’t eliminate and that will be more challenging to reverse (eg the damage of ocean acidification on coral reefs, species that have gone extinct due to global warming etc)

I can understand where you're coming from. I'm a marvel fan and I'm disappointed that they went with so many celbreties for Eternals -- I haven't seen it yet, but they were really more distracting than anything in the trailers.

I didn't mind the actors in Don't Look Up though, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, and Jennifer Lawrence had some good chemistry. It did feel like Jonah Hill's character was literally the same character from Wolf of Wallstreet.

My guess is that netflix was hoping that it'd garnish more attention having many big name actors. It's also possible those actors _wanted_ to do it as a form of expression.

> If anything Don't Look Up ends up being a demonstration of the celebrity worship it mocks.

I don't really think it mocked celebrity worship. Maybe to some degree with the tech ceo (I can certainly amuse myself with how HN would probably react to some of it's hivemind's idols like Jobs or PG in that situation.

Yes, if PII is involved it's common to run an audit like this. In addition to the access keys on the server image, Sega also accidentally published a database export containing PII. In order to write a comprehensive disclosure I have to investigate thoroughly.
