I'm using the data at https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data . It shows the inversion you've mentioned.

- Cases: vaccinated = 100/100k, unvaccinated = 80/100k

Vaccinations reduce the severity of the disease. If you get exposed, vaccination will prompt your body to deal with the infection more quickly when there's less of the virus. This can, but doesn't necessarily, clear the infection before it's detected. You can see the protective effect in Ontario by looking at different severities.

- Population 12+: vaccinated = 88%, unvaccinated = 9%

- Hospital non-ICU: vaccinated = 65%, unvaccinated = 25%

- Hospital ICU: vaccinated = 40%, unvaccinated = 50%

- Deaths aren't reported by vaccination status on this page
I agree, if you think you are having arrhythmias you should see a cardiologist as the first step. Try to exhaust the well-known medical avenues before considering that your health problems are from an unknown cause. Strep infections in particular can have cardiac effects (rheumatic heart disease).

> a password-protected SSH key is also two factors

Not really. By default SSH keys are kept in a private subdirectory of $HOME. An attacker who has access to it is very likely able to modify the user’s $PATH, trojan the passphrase prompt, and so on. Thus in many real‐world situations it collapses to one factor.

Contrast that to an SSH key tied to a WebAuthn token with "ssh-keygen -t ed25519_sk"—even a fully trojaned machine would not be able to freely initiate sessions with the compromised key.
I feel that the time to migrate to Julia is now. The ecosystem is finally coming together and there doesn't seem to be breaking changes to the language anymore.
Hopefully they extend this back to NeXTStep interoperability. I would love to be able to run Quantrix and FrameMaker.
A butcher can sharpen knives very well, but that doesn't mean they'll know how to cook. Same goes for a line cook, while a chef knows how to run a kitchen... sorry for being pedantic, but being good at grinding out Leetcode questions doesn't mean you'll be a good programmer. It'll mean you'll be good at answering Leetcode puzzles.

That seems like a terrible success rate, though, doesn't it? 1 out 12 bluetooth devices failed to work whereas they work 100% on Windows? For the average user, that is definitely going to be a dealbreaker.

Is it useful for succinctly highlighting how we've made a world and numerous societies that ignore the voices of the young and exclude them from decision-making or having access to systems that govern their lives?
It’s interesting how everyone is following the SpaceX model. I can’t say that I blame them.
An artist friend of mine back in the `90's made a series of sculptures, which they intentionally created to last for hundreds of years, out of plywood and bondo since it has no scrap resale value :) Each sculpture was also fitted to it's own storage crate, so that it could just be packed up and forgotten.
Just a heads up that some students may be restricted by hours/pay due to Visa requirements.

Something like the Uni-ball 0.7 or 0.8 ?
Thanks, though nowadays i primarily use my desktop. At the time, for 215 euros, the netbook was suitable for the use case that i needed it to serve, though it definitely did take a bit of tinkering.

Now, if i actually wanted a laptop as a daily driver with Linux on it, i'd perhaps look into the direction of the ThinkPad models, either older or newer ones, whichever i could afford. In my experience, they have superior keyboards, good I/O, good driver support and are built to be reasonably sturdy (as long as you don't mind the bulkiness)! Granted, Lenovo might ruin the series in the future yet, after the whole rootkit scandal a few years ago.
Educating people of the facts is what led to this outcome. Obscuring the facts is what Airbnb is trying to do.
> Oh. So you don't want a system that removes corruption, regulatory capture, and lobbying as far as possible?

Well, sure. But that's not what this is actually about. The titular anarchists are not inventing new drugs, they're finding alternative ways to get drugs that have already been invented.

> That is to say, with all else removed you could generate an IP only company for 17% the cost of drug sales.

I am not convinced that accurately reflects the reality of running a pharmaceutical business, even if incentives/competition is somewhat warped in healthcare. There are a lot of penny-stock pharma companies whose only mission is to generate valuable IP. They're notorious for being volatile (since their outcome is basically binary on the results of research), but not for being great investments. If what you are asserting was actually true, those sorts of firms would generate ~5x higher returns, on average.
The rolls I get at the store for that price are way better than the ones act McDonalds. And if you really want rolls for cheap, you can make them yourself from a couple cents of flour.
I don't know; I'm surprised you think this is non-partisan. You should visit /r/buttcoin. These are all valid arguments, IMO, and I share their sentiment. Web3, whatever it is, is looking like a massive mistake.

But yet the money continues to flow in. People who know nothing about technology in general are now investing in companies specializing in this technology. Why? Clearly, there's something there. Or maybe there really isn't. And this is the biggest grift ever seen. All led by ridiculous marketing.

I really do think this is all going to collapse. There's no way this clown car just continues endlessly without some repercussions.
The "original" "song" in this case is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0ClqZHkSnc

It is not ripped from my video; it's just someone else typing on a keyboard. Content ID just seems prone to throwing false positives on non-musical noises, since it doesn't understand that the frequency spectrum over time of noise isn't copyrightable like the frequency spectrum over time of music is.

That said, yes, the system is broken in more weird ways. I have a video where I played back a B&W music video through a laser projector, and YouTube keeps offering me to make copyright claims against other videos of the same song/MV run through edge-detection algorithms and filters that look similar. The funny thing is that video is (correctly) Content ID copyright claimed/monetized by the song's owners, but I guess I have the right to place a sub-claim on copies of the video part? (even though none of the hits are actual rips of my video, just people doing similar stuff to the same source material, so they're all false positives anyway). These algorithms just don't understand derivative works; when two people use the same source material, it just thinks one ripped off the other.

I did get one actual wholesale match of a rip-and-reupload against an original video of mine though, claimed it, and the author did take it down, so it worked as intended in that one case. But the false positive rate is atrocious.

Edit: upon further inspection, the website of the distributor for the "song" in question says they specialize in Content ID and it's suspiciously generic: https://www.umag.io/. That makes me wonder if they're just a front for Content ID abuse. The "song" isn't stolen, but it might've been distributed as part of a collection of fluff to see if they get Content ID hits on noise. There are no hits for this "artist" other than the music stores themselves.
>Why do mathematicians need to be told what notation to use by non-mathematicians when their notations (note the plural) are in wide, and apparently successful, use today?

The same reason why geometers needed to be told to start using Arabic numerals by algebraists: mathematics is asking new questions and the old tools aren't good enough. That we even need to make a notational distinction between operators like addition and operators like high order partial derivatives should show that clearly enough.

>How would Polish notation help, for instance, with things like describing set membership or logical relations? How is this more readable (using ASCII):

Start working on longer expressions and the lack of parenthesis becomes a godsend.

-> -> a b c and -> a -> b c can be parsed in only one way, by comparison with infix notation you need miscellaneous parenthesis to show the way you want a -> b -> c to be parsed: (a -> b) -> c and a -> (b -> c). Or you need to memorize an arbitrary number of rules which increase exponentially with each new operator you add.

> Which provides a convention sense of the relationship that the former does not? The second one can be "read" in order: a implies b. The first cannot.

In English and only for binary operators, and even then you can just as easily understand "add 5 and 6" as you can "5 plus 6". How would you use infix notation to express a ternary or higher operator? The notation for the definite integral needs a super and sub script as well as a dummy variable for an operator that is fundamentally a ternary one. By comparison in prefix notation it becomes definite_integral upper_limit lower_limit function.
> The "well-designed" argument here is a bit No True Scotsman, and absolutely not true.

This counter arguments can be interpreted as a mere No True Scotsman of "responsiveness", so this is not a very productive line of argument.

Should one be interested in having a discussion like this again, I would suggest strictly establishing what "responsive" means (which is a subjective experience), including defining when a "responsive" application may be "unresponsive" (swapping to disk, no CPU/GPU time, the cat ate the RAM), and evading terms like "well-designed" (I included it in protest of its use in the comment I responded to).

For example, failing to process input or skipping frames in gameplay would be bad, but no one would see a skipped frame in a config menu, and frames cannot even be skipped if there are no frames to be rendered.

I was going to ask how this compared to Scoter, thanks.
But the COVID-specific position isn't logically consistent. The author tells us in passing that they got a yellow fever vaccine, which is required -- or "mandated", if you will -- for travel to many African countries [0]. US schools, universities, child care facilities, and the military have mandated many vaccines for decades. George freakin' Washington mandated smallpox inoculation [1] for the continental army.

I truly can't understand why a COVID vaccine mandate, and only a COVID vaccine mandate, is suddenly tyranny.

Hi, so what happened was---I was a bio teacher/tech educator and was asked to teach Python. No computer knowledge really, a little HTMl and File Maker but mostly used for educational reasons- absolute coding newbie (block code really doesn't count!)!

Practiced for a few months in the summer and started teaching. Really scary and in year 4, I am still learning. It is hard, it is humbling, it can be very humiliating at times, but isn't learning something new always like that! I have enjoyed the thread. The kids no my journey and Sean and I promote active learning and discovery in the classroom. Happy to answer questions. Thanks Scott for the point to! - Kelly
I assumed you were aware of the issues, which is why I said those at home who might just take it at face value as a neat pattern. :)

I personally do actually use flatMap sometimes as outlined in your example - perf is an after issue and I'll refactor if the concise code isn't worth the cost.
I got frustrated with terrible knives in a variety of Airbnbs but instead of bringing my own, I bought a portable sharpener. It generally makes even a pretty bad knife into something not so terrible to use for a couple days. And airport security doesn't care, even in carry-on.
I went to four different Broward County high schools: McFatter Tech, Fort Lauderdale Preparatory, Western, and Sagemont. No idea what they're like now, but 20 years ago it was like something out of a bad movie.

First a network administrator frames the kid and gets him expelled, claiming that the slow, buggy Mac network is due to the kid hacking it with AOL Punters. Next school, the computer teacher has no idea how to even write HTML, and tells the kid to write the school's website and a calendar app for the teachers (for no pay of course, that would be child labor!). The kid removes viruses and fixes incorrect proxy settings in school computers, and is subsequently banned from the computer labs. Any computer issue is blamed on the kid, because his permanent record says he was expelled for hacking. Finally he's sent to a private school where everyone gets a laptop, and proceeds to learn how to scam ad companies, write networked programs to remotely share the homework answers with all the kids (p2p), and in his spare time builds parallel computing clusters and router linux distros that fit on floppies. After 9th grade he drops out, because clearly he wasn't learning anything!

Maybe we shouldn't even teach advanced computer classes, and instead just let the kids go wild. Maybe having a set curriculum takes away from them learning how to teach themselves and pick their own interests.
I would just raise my rates. It's probably so they can show their boss they tried negotiating and got a special rate lower than the advertised one.

Everyone wants to feel like they got a good deal.

Movie Review: Don't Look Up – By Scott Alexander
If you just want to be a consumer that does no tinkering then buy a computer that ships with a consumer focused Linux distro. Dell, Purism, System76, or even a Chromebook are more fair comparisons.

Stop claiming Linux is hard to use because it takes effort to run it on unsupported hardware... like any other OS.
Developing UI components based on ContentEditable is trial and error, with a lot of code held together by cross-browser integration tests where you always have to pray that a browser upgrade doesn't brake something new in a subtle and surprising way...

> Or perhaps at a minimum we’ll recognize natural immunity is at least as good as these vaccines?

Yes, for some months, and then it decades. And that's the only thing that you can save from the article.

> The vaccines continued to do great at preventing hospitalizations and deaths, but there was now no doubt that they weren’t going to contain the spread.

Ditto. So you have a duty to get vaccinated. Everything else, all your hours reading papers[0], this wall of text, all your excuses, are a way to easy your conscience. You are selfish, and you put yourself in front of your community.

I'm probably biased: I come from North Italy, I've seen the army removing corpses from hospitals 'cause they were just too many: I've seen what the virus can do if it finds the right conditions, and I've a lot of friends working in hospitals.
This winter has been way better, and the strain on the health system way lower.

If you don't do your part, you care more about yourself[1] than about the society around yourself. It is only right if the society answers in the same way, and cut you out.

[0] is that useful in any way? I cannot say I understand papers that are not from my field, but here the author seems to be able to read papers from a totally different field without problems

[1] Better: you care more about what you think is _safer_ for yourself. Not what actually is. To avoid an almost null risk in the future, you put your community at risk

> There's no out.

I'm a manager at Google and have therefore been privy to a bunch of PIPs. I know a bunch of people who have survived them and many of them have later gone on and had successful promos. I've seen exactly one case where everybody involved was resigned to the fact that the PIP would almost certainly fail and that is because the person being fired was a raging asshole. A manager who wrote a PIP designed to be impossible would themselves be given shit performance reviews.

Since you are talking about highest rate in Spain you have 54% Personal income + 21% VAT + anything you inherit or donate taxed + IBI (if you own a house). and do not get me started on business, or freelancing. Because they smash you badly.

In Spain if you earn 60,000 euros, which is not so much, in my area they tax you 47% from your salary + what your employer already paid to the social security. At the same rime they are raising the retirement age and do all kind of sh*t bc we have a Poncy system for retirement. Of course, politicians get max retirement after 8 years (for normal people it is 30 I recall). Some of them, like ex-presidents, have an income for the rest of their lives.

But hey, the money is to build roads and pay retirements and health care. Please someone explain to me this is not theft because I really do not get it.

The difference with a country like Singapore, with all its bad things (I lived there before, among other places) is that the level of corruption is lower, the taxing lower and the budget is managed seriously. Here... this is not even funny.
Fair enough. I made an assumption, most stuff gets funded by grants directly or indirectly.

The quote I knew is actually not 30, it's 35.
At first I expected the advent of mass vaccination to end the pandemic, because it only had to drop R by a factor of two or so to drop below the critical percolation threshold, so even a vaccine providing 50% sterilizing immunity would be good enough, and the mRNA vaccines turned out to be even more effective than expected. I turned out to be spectacularly wrong about that; as you may or may not be aware, the pandemic did not end a year ago. It turned out that, unlike vaccines like the smallpox vaccine, the covid vaccines did not provide much sterilizing immunity.

Moreover, the virus has become endemic in a number of zoonotic reservoirs, including deer, feral cats, and some mustelids, and vaccinating or exterminating those populations is not realistic in the next few decades. This is not currently a significant source of human outbreaks as far as I can tell, but after the humans reach herd immunity, it will be the only one.

Consequently, the cost-benefit tradeoff for covid vaccinations with the currently available vaccines needs to be evaluated with respect to the benefit to the person being vaccinated. I'm glad I'm vaccinated: as an obese 45-year-old man, my risk of death from covid might approach 1%, which is enormously higher than any plausible risks from any of the vaccines I'm familiar with. But that tradeoff is not the same for everyone, and there are populations where the rate of death or permanent harm from a vaccine, though still extremely low, is likely higher than the rate of death or permanent harm from covid itself.

The situation would be different if, for example, vaccinating schoolchildren prevented them from infecting and inadvertently killing their grandparents. But it doesn't. So the fact that the existing vaccinations clearly fail to control the spread is extremely relevant to the cost-benefit tradeoff, in particular because it means that there's no valid public-interest argument for requiring people to get vaccinated. Since both the cost and the benefit flow to them individually, they should be able to make the decision individually, except in cases such as small children and comatose patients.

This is an argument that deserves rational consideration, not dismissal with mindkiller phrases like "vapors" and "anti-vax". That's the sort of argument, or rather non-argument, that "deserves to lose".
Laser Noise
yes but sometimes I feel like a bit of context about why or how someone makes a product helps.
At work I have an access tool for writing automation on groups of servers. Basically orchestration without a server.

I used to be SSH only, but the framework is built around simply delivering CLI commands and enabling file transfer.

So I abstracted the command request/response and now I can do it over AWS-SSM, or docker run, kubectl, salt daemon, teleport, or even AWS-SSM to a "bastion" and then ssh from there.

AWS-SSM is basically a polling mechanism, you can easily roll one of your own.

What I don't like is two factor authentications that require manual steps. Then you can't automate anything.
I don't think so. Alex is still at Github.
