I think the "anti-vax" are drawing the opposite conclusion: Covid (for most people, and particularly for young people) is orders of magnitude less dangerous than measles, polio, diptheria, and the other compulsory vaccines. The feeling is that for this large subset of the population, it's on par with, or less dangerous than, the flu. Given that belief, it's understandable to question the logic behind compelling vaccinations.
> although with a significant decrease in risk of catching or passing on the virus. With these effects waning on a time-scale similar to the first two doses.

Food for thought: https://www.ucdavis.edu/health/covid-19/news/viral-loads-sim...

Or the actual paper: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.09.28.21264262v...

The vaccine seems to result in less symptoms and makes your body clear the virus faster, but the evidence is coming in that peak viral load is not changed.

To me, this is the nightmare scenario of us going forward with emergency use authorizations. The whole theory behind the vaccine was that if your body was primed to handle the spike protein, you'd clear it faster and you'd feel better and critically: that you'd actually spread less virus because your body won't collect as much of it waiting for your immune system to react.

But only the first two parts of that ended up being true, because it appears that peak viral load isn't impacted. So now if you're vaaccinated, you feel fine so you don't test yourself and you don't isolate, but you're still spreading the virus as much as before, and r0 across the entire population is basically unchanged. It would almost be better for others if you weren't vaccinated, because you would have a lower chance of presenting asymptomatically and would be more likely to isolate.

The only silver lining is that it seems to clear faster, so the timespan where you're walking around with a high viral load (ie: superspreader) is smaller. But this isn't what they wanted.
Most people have no obvious long term symptoms from infection. Some % have symptoms like no or distorted sense of smell, heart issues, lung issues, etc for more than a year. Vaccination seems to reduce the odds you'll have these problems. My guess is serious lingering symptoms 5% for kids and more like 10% for sub-50 adults. Hard to get good data though, the best I've seen is this survey from the UK:

All this to say there will be fortunes built on the expansion of the market for chronic disease management tools.
Isn't this true of nearly every pharmaceutical on the market?
Big brother, is that you?
The Z mount is what made my switch from Canon DSLR to Nikon Mirrorless. Yes, Nikon's current AF implementation is no match to Canon's but the technical specifications and the resulting possibilities of the Z-mount are just something I couldn't ignore.
I've had chronic idiopathic urticaria for years, to varying degrees. Hives are a common side effect to many things (which sucks, because it's such an incredibly aggravating symptom).

It's possible the vaccine is the cause of yours, and the timing makes sense, but it can happen entirely randomly, and that's the case for at least some people who started experiencing hives alongside their shot.

I couldn't stand the drowsy effect from Benadryl. Your friend might want to give Fexofenadine (Allegra / Allerfex) a try, it's just as effective for me and doesn't result in that "head empty" feeling. Loratadine (Claritin) might also work. Costco sells both in bulk generic quantities and they're cheap compared to the branded stuff.
It's not the physical cost, it's the PR cost. A lot of the time the public body doesn't know what is in its files until someone makes a request, then they read the record and realize how many skeletons they have in their closet.

No records = no skeletons; no bad PR. Better to destroy everything all of the time.

Chemist here too but my ex was an sound consultant for an architectural firm. Iirc, different kinds of noises essentially are defined by the average amplitude (energy) vs frequency function of the rng. For architects, it can be important to model noise to ensure your structure complies with for example OSHA regulations. There can be code regulations too if you're in an urban place and say putting residential on top of street level commercial spaces, especially bars that might be open late. Finally, for gathering/events spaces you want to have a situation where a PA/presentation system doesn't have to work hard to go over conversation noise.

The energy profiles for all of these scenarios is empirically determined and "well known" in the community.

The ex helped model the "death star" auditorium space at the academy of motion picture arts and sciences in LA. IIRC it sounds really aquarium-ey during normal times and during events they roll out strategically placed dampeners.
Presumably not much. If you look at the amount of antibodies produced they’re a pretty insignificant amount (if that’s what the concern is).
If it was just in the html the website served to you, and it just basically has it written in a way that tells the browser to not display that part of the html. Wouldn't that be closer to handing a journalist a government document with some text, then a line saying: "don't read the stuff below this line", and then a bunch of sensitive stuff below that in plain text?

Even the Catholic Church has given the A-OK for its adherents to take these vaccines. At this point, anyone you encounter citing a "religious" objection is more likely to be citing a personal preference.
In Germany you pay roughly 52% tax on the electricity price.
Is it common, now or historically, to follow up a notification of compromise with self-directed PoC and privilege escalation exercises on the resources of a company with which you're not under contract? My naïve take is that this was a series of well-intentioned but possibly criminal actions used to illustrate a lesson we could all be reminded of from time to time.

Also, the HackerOne page doesn't appear to be claimed by SEGA Sammy, so notices might dead-end there as well.
Bitwarden's hosted service works just fine, you can self host, but you certainly don't need to.
The immune response to the booster isn't linear relative to the response to the earlier shots.

The every six months thing doesn't apply until there's actually a government recommendation to get a 4th shot. I think there is enough chance that there will be, but there's also a pretty good chance that there won't be (because we are actually getting to the point where ~everyone has been infected or vaccinated).
If that's what it takes for you to save face after not adequately explaining your points, then sure, why not.
I find that the CVS website for scheduling an appointment is trash. It feels like it was designed by a college student with no common sense.

Honestly, I've been able to get both my vaccines (flu and Covid booster) by chance. I came across a vaccine drive run by my town's senior center and went to that for Covid, and then yesterday I happened to walk by the pharmacy in a Target and they were taking walk-ins for flu shots.

Thankfully I live in a state where the leaders really want people to get vaccinated. Yesterday I was driving around an area where there are a lot of illegal immigrants and there were signs all over the place saying "no ID necessary" for a COVID vaccine.
Parent said young men though, does being college-aged affect those numbers?
> Modern alternatives such as Day.js and date-fns may be better but should a library necessary when your app has minimal date-handling requirements?

Yes? Or at least, I don't think this is the, "obvious question that leads to the rest of the article" that the author may have assumed.

As another commenter mentioned, Day.js is 2kb. That's the answer: use Day.js.

But I guess that doesn't get you a blog post you can reference when applying to jobs, so here we are.

At this point what is the case for vaccine requirements?

* They aren't risk free (like we were all told initially)

* They don't prevent transmission (like we were all told initially)

Full disclosure: fully vaxxed, got it the very first day I was allowed to. Wouldn't change the decision. That said: man I really cannot get over the fact that it feels like public health officials are just straight up lying to us all at this point. That is something that I really do not like for several reasons. Not the least of which is that it will prevent people from trusting them in the future, and that will have negative consequences for everyone.
No, they say "As a result, we have adjusted our security alert systems and this issue has since been resolved."

They are claiming they know what the bug was.
I must commend the Berlin transit system. Except for the occasional strike, I found it to be extremely efficient, clean, and rather polite. Especially the trams.

I've been infected twice.

I can smell, but it's muted relative to how it was previously. It also feels like the spectrum of smells was shifted -- I can smell stuff and identify it fine, but it's not how I remember things smelling before. I've been unable to really put this into words.
Sure, but I found this phrase a bit bombastic: "The spectrum is not a gradient."
Good find though, that was probably what sparked the sub-thread.

I replied to you in further posts that I see both perspectives. So can now conclude I don't see it as just one way because it depends on your frame of reference / POV / state of mind.

Maybe it was pointless when I didn't really relate it directly to autism at first, and I didn't mean to go into a discussion of it being either that or the other in the first place.
Considering that film is an art form, it "only" being an expression to it's intended audience is just fine. There's no obligation or advertisement to be anything more than that.

The target audience is fucking exhausted with the never ending deluge of bullshit we're being faced with.

No one's walking away from watching it feeling superior. That's the thing, it's describing a situation that we all lose, but only some even acknowledge is even happening.

It's actually pretty soul crushing.
You can use Bitwarden’s official servers without self-hosting anything at all. I did it for a couple years and it was a great experience.
I think the key is how fast you do it.

My wife instantly signed up when it was available and got a booster within a couple days. I waited a few days and my appointment was a month out.

We also waited a couple of days for our 6 year old and the appointment was 2 weeks out.
Yes, it is about 3 dollar in the Netherlands (for a 500 gram box), but shipping would make it more expensive than 8usd.
The skeptics have felt overwhelmingly in the right for the past 21 months, but throughout that time period, reality has not been particularly compliant to their wishes.

What reality has shown, time and again, is that medical systems across the entire world are incapable of dealing with COVID while providing the same standard of care that people generally expect. (For both non-COVID and COVID cases.)

I personally feel there are reasons to be optimistic over the next few months, but that its too early to say - and claiming otherwise is engaging in very speculative, very wishful magical thinking.
Ken is very controversial in the photographing community. He has the audacity to shoot JPEG only (which is a sacrilege for all the RAW shooters). And his writing style is very ... well ... over the top.

I think his site is a great resource if you want to look up older Nikon glass. About the new stuff (mirrorless, etc) ... I don't know ... take it with a grain of salt.
> I've been using Linux, traditional Unix editors like vim and emacs, and other keyboard-driven tools for the past decade with very little mouse use, and I'm starting to get RSI as a result.

Eh - it's well known in my company where some jobs are mouse heavy and some are more keyboard heavy. Both camps get ergonomic pains, but it is more common with the mouse heavy folks.

Typing can affect hands, wrists and forearms. Mousing affects neck/shoulder/side more.

People who get it with typing tend to get it after extended use (years). People doing mouse heavy CAD work often get it quickly (1-2 years) unless they're aggressively trying to mitigate it.

Contrary to what I just said, I do think they are equally prone assuming equal usage. The reality is that a lot of programming jobs do not require a lot of continuous keyboard usage - you spend a fair amount of time thinking. It's why I get more ergonomic issues when typing emails or writing documentation than when programming.

Mouse heavy jobs, OTOH, often involve continual mouse use. So they automatically are more at risk.

"Pattern matching" is what regular expressions do. What you are alluding to is "pattern recognition", which is an older name for so-called "statistical" machine learning, particularly used to perform "perception" tasks (such as machine vision).

"Statistical" machine learning is also not very much about statistics, it's just that similar technologies and concepts are sometimes used as in statistics, for example probabilities, function optimisation etc.

"Artificial Intelligence" (AI) is the name of the field of research that studies approaches to artificial intelligence. It's a bit confusing but when someone says "I study AI" they don't, today, mean that they study artificially intelligent entities, rather they mean they study approaches that might one day allow us to create such entities.
Most states have zero or minimal statutes requiring document retention by public bodies. I know several times I have requested documents from public bodies only to have them immediately throw them in the garbage so that they do not have to disclose them.

I even took this to the appellate courts at one point as the argument was whether documents in the garbage are still in the possession of the public body. They said they weren't, I said they were. Courts ruled with the public body.

(One of my arguments was also that they can put them in the garbage at the time of the request, write the denial letter, and then pull them back out of the garbage)

Neat, this looks pretty useful for a project I'm working on. What's the performance like?
Yea, I don’t get what is so hard to understand! The vaccines are partial and waning. I need to get a shot to make sure your works, because you can still get and spread the virus after getting the shot, and then so can I. Then we can discuss boosters.

I feel like anyone that doesn’t understand plain and clear logic must be a FauxNews addicted lunatic. What other explanations even are there?
That's only true in countries which don't aspirate. At least that seems to be the figures coming out of Denmark...
Excuse me? There are dozens of papers available now confirming my words.
Surprised they don't have tortoisegit in Linux. Tortoisehg exists on both Windows and Linux.
People are getting smarter on ever narrower domains. This is convenient for industrial and commercial processes, because how to break them down is again one such specialization and thus increasingly well understood.

We are however not encouraged, and often discouraged, from transposing skills of discernation and thinking. "I'm an engineer, not a politician" and such. "IANAL". In an ever more complex human world, we are ever less able to understand or even see the big picture. We're quite happy to stay in our niches, especially when they pay well. Some of the best minds in computer science are working for companies doing tremendous damage to our minds and societies, without even seeing that they do, let alone understand.
Yes, but the dumb vote in droves for a buffoonish reality tv star they think will fire enough people in Government so that they don’t have to pay taxes anymore.

The orange one also hates brown people as much as they do and is unafraid to say it out loud.

Also, it’s just a bonus that their reality tv star really, really pisses off those rich educated folks in the city who “look down” them.
Pretty irresponsible of them to assume that themselves and their friends anecdotally got hives from a vaccine and post it on the internet. Hives can be caused by almost anything your body doesn't like. Without evidence other than anecdotes, they're alluding to a cause and effect relationship during a pandemic where the world is struggling to vaccinate everyone due to misinformation like this. This is no different from Nicki Minaj tweeting that her cousin's friend's balls swelled up after taking the vaccine.

Shouldn't expect much more from an account that was created less than a half hour ago to post vaccine misinformation.
Will we pretend that the usage of floppy disks is normal in almost 2022?

What's wrong with them? They're reasonably robust for short term shortage, easily copyable, and you can design your own format if you want to. The space limitation is only a problem if you need to actually store more than 1.4MB or so. And if you want to lock down an environment so USB devices can't be used there aren't many other portable storage options.

They're definitely not something you'd want to keep around as archival media or anything but they served very well for the best part of 3 decades, and the main reason we moved on was because users started needing to store large images and video. I still rather like floppy disks.
Don't look up falls flat, in my opinion because you have too many superstars in a movie that should not be about star power.

Netflix has this weird habit where it's like they can't budget well. I imagine they spent so much money hiring Leonardo DiCaprio they didn't have enough to write good scriptwriters.

I really wanted to like the movie, but why would you cram so many high power celebrities in one film. Film. Idiocracy is amazing because outside of Booker T, and Scareface's cameo I had no idea who these actors were. Plus I'd argue the plot is much easier to follow. Mike Judge is a genius.

If anything Don't Look Up ends up being a demonstration of the celebrity worship it mocks.
I'm one of those people...

It's simply about pointing devices hurting my hand, wrist, and arm.

Keyboard use does not.

Is that so hard to understand?

This is what makes it an accessibility issue for me, not a preference.

> Obviously you need a way to identify the real artist

Thats the point though. Nothing about the blockchain has anything to do with this part, and this is really the only part that matters.

So, once again, my point stands. The private key has nothing to do with identifying the real artist. Instead, it is something else entirely that identifies the real artist.

> on their official web site

So then the official website is what is doing the identifying here, of what the real art it. Not the blockchain. It is the artist themselves, saying "This art is the real one", not cryptography.

It is not proof of work, or proof of signed private keys. Instead, it is proof of "official website".

> In any case it is a separate problem.

It is the only problem that matters. The actual way to identify the real artist, separate from the blockchain, is what is actually doing all of the heavy lifting here. The private key isn't doing anything on the important part.
This is not just for startups or blog posts, but all communication: people that aren’t confident in what they’re saying, tend to use a lot of words to disguise it. The opposite is also true.
Please look at the subgroup analysis
The data I've seen about this has shown that the antibody numbers will slowly dip over time after the initial vaccine shots, but skyrocket after the booster.

I'm not sure what your argument against the booster is beyond the mention of myocarditis (which the CDC addresses here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/my...) and "it's a lot of work."

At this point, those of us who can do the maximum amount possible to avoid catching the virus and/or making sure that we mitigate its effects should do so. The most likely risk at this point isn't death, it's ending up in the hospital for enough time that someone else can't get admitted or has to put off an important procedure.
From the link you shared:

>For most, Covid is a mild disease. Some get no symptoms at all. But it can still cause very serious illness in some people, including those who have not been vaccinated.

>[A] massive wave of infections would still mean many people needing hospital care, as well as lots of doctors and nurses being off sick with Covid.

I would like to share this link with you, which explains the effectiveness of vaccines against infection:

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/breakthrough-covid-19-infectio...

“Breakthrough infections are not evidence that vaccines don’t work anymore than the fact that car crashes [that] are still sometimes fatal is evidence that seatbelts don’t work. We use prevention tools because they help reduce our risk of serious disease or death, not because they are guaranteed to 100% always keep us safe,” Murray [, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health] said.
The point since the start was to prevent serious cases. In my country the only target value under consideration for intensifying/reducing measures is just ICU occupations in hospital, and this rapid increase of cases, even with lower risk of serious cases compared to delta, is seriously jeopardizing our hospitals (again)
I think I see what you're trying to say, but there is a bit of term confusion in your argument.

Just using the linguistics of the word, "Atheists" are definitively people who do not believe in a theos, ie: a g/God. It would be nonsensical to call a polytheist or monotheist an atheist.

> When you truly understand that your arguments against those religions go against Christianity too...

Christianity is relatively unique[1] in the sense that it claims exclusivity to salvation through Jesus Christ. As it relates to your argument, this tenant allows Christians to make claims to spiritual supremacy. Interreligious comparisons are moot at that point.

[1] Conditioning that statement here, I can't keep up with all the world's religions
This! We do it all the time in fraud, genomics, social media, security, etc data tables, it is one of our favorite techniques.

We do one more step for UMAP and other dimensionality reducers in practice: connect the nearest neighbors to turn any data table into an explorable similarity graph. Users, devices, proteins, accounts, events, etc link together and cluster when similar, and this reveals fascinating structural relationships when there is a reason they vary.

Takes just a few lines once you have a feature table, and there's a recent GH issue to automate that step too: https://github.com/graphistry/pygraphistry/blob/master/demos...
Wow! That means by just sticking to the until recently common view that humans have the property right to their own body, not the government, now makes me an anti-vaxxer as well.
