There's research coming out that shows the vaccines are causing heart inflammation (1) in younger people, so I'd show some caution in getting kids vaccinated.

I'm not sure how it compares to the effects of covid itself, just something to think about / read up on to make an informed decision.

It will be bubble-like, but design. You'll see content from the communities that you belong to and that matter to you. However, it's not just specific types of content you see, but also content that those you trust see and share. The concierge would not be some third party platform, but a semi-autonomous software agent that you control. There are downsides to this system..you won't get the occasional gem discovered on the Internet that clues you into a new interest, unless someone you trust has that interest and shares it or you go looking for info on that interest. There are many upsides though, including not seeing hate speech and the Mesh not being supported by ad revenue. This would eliminate the ad-based business model (which means there would be some very big players against it, of course).
It’s twice (more than twice really) as good only at the marginal percentage ownership beyond 7%, it’s not twice as good of a deal in absolute terms.

"if the entire world is a sh*thole, nobody will be able to tell it's due to communism"?

I fail to see what "needed technological developments" would West Germany give them.

> Cuba is the best example of a successful communist-ish state

Successful as in "not completely failed, unlike all the others". Look, I sympathize with their struggles being so close to the US & all, but the fact that this is the best-case for you have should give you a bit of pause, because Cuba is by no means close to being a paradise.

To put things in context, both the largest & most populated countries in the world used to be communist. They both had to abandon it & switched to a form of crony capitalism, which, as bad as it is, seems to actually work better for them than the alternative.
Who knows? That's the point.
> But I imagine the majority of externalities could be accounted for if we tried.

The irony is if you actually came close to achieving that (e.g. accounting for all externalities in the market price), you'd have something like central planning. That's why externalities are usually managed through other mechanisms.

Also, externalities are only one kind of market failure.
Definitely not. Childcare, company policy, focus time on development, playing darts - it doesn't matter. All that matters is they're not reachable on Fridays and that they've chosen not share the why.
My mistake, the requirement is currently 10 days, not 2 weeks. But it's up to the school district, things don't change overnight just because the CDC changed their recommendations.
Clumsy wording. What I meant more specifically is that I don't think crowdsourcing is the right model. This product is expensive and typical crowdsourcing places no obligation on the "seller" to actually deliver anything.
It's pointless. If you're young covid is not a big deal. If you're giving the vaccine and boosters to children, you should be arrested for child abuse and need to get your brain examined. Look at the data...CDC director admits 75% of covid deaths are people with 4 comorbidities[0]. Something like 80% of deaths are over 65 years old.[1]

This is a disease that mostly harms the old and the obese. Just workout, lift weights, get vitamin D and lose body fat. This is what should have been promoted for most people, not worrying about getting 4 rounds of an experimental vaccine that doesn't protect you from actually getting the disease.

>No one suggested that the vaccine would prevent infection 100% reliably

Sure they did, but whatever. It's over man. People need to wake up from this brain rot and move on with their lives. They've destroyed young kids childhood development[2] and they can't let it go. You got young healthy people that have no business worrying about this virus still panicking and avoiding real social lives.

>better understanding of the long-term effects of covid

Because it's a coronavirus that you can't generally avoid getting as it becomes endemic (and weaker). The threat is normal like most other coronaviruses. What is new and novel is the experimental treatment that has to be retaken over and over to actually do anything but will fail anyways. And there already are side effects. Long term, you can't know what this will do but common sense says avoid this, and accept the minimal "risk" you can't avoid but which runs its course quickly and easily (covid).

Technology transfer and early industrial development: The Sino-Soviet Alliance
A car from 1950s and up is quite serviceable today, and I think we're getting to the same place with computers.

I don't buy things on principle (freganism/volunteerism), so I'm restricted to hand-me-down computers, and I've been quite happy with this for the past 7+ years.

Of course, my work is mostly text-based, but I'm quite happy with a high-end 6-year-old computer today, and before this was using an 8-year-old computer low-end computer with some obstacles.

I think that as a web developer, I can promote this idea further by leaning hard into the accessibility and compatibility spectrum, really embracing "Any Browser" 100% and leaving no browser, client, user, scenario, network condition, etc. behind.

And I do. All the sites I develop, as well as the framework I use for them, are guaranteed compatible with Netscape 2.0+, IE 3.0+, Opera 3.0+, and pretty much everything that's come since then, including text-mode, no-JS, and screen-readers.

Disabling thermald did not help much, as the laptop almost melted.

They'll throttle and hard-shutdown long before permanent damage occurs. Recent laptop CPUs have maximum temperatures of ~100C and are perfectly fine to stay at that temperature 24/7.
It seems reckless to me to enroll a kid in a vaccine trial where the FDA decided to skip the science advisory panel for childhood vaccines [1] because they last time denied the request. The way this is handled is unscientific, and I share the parents concern that this has no balance of risk vs reward.

The FDA skipping essential vaccine approval procedures in childhood vaccines, given fewer kids died of covid in 2020 than from the flu the year before, is one of the best signs that we are in a mass formation [2].

I understand that because there is only a liability shield for vaccines given to children pharma wants it for business reasons, but the FDA science advisory panel said risk vs reward does not scientifically justify childhood covid vaxx.

The vaccines reduce the risk of hospitalization and/or death from the virus by 20x or more.

That’s pretty great even if not perfect. Much better than we ever had when facing the initial waves of any previous pandemic virus.

Unfortunate that delta and then omicron seem to have bypassed the immunity from getting sick but most of his have had a “mild” sickness many times in our lives and the vaccine will prevent it from getting worse.
There's the "Works Council" (Betriebsrat) that in big companies is basically an employee-elected parliament, with various party-like factions running. For my employer's last Betriebsrat election, IG Metall (the union that represents my company's sector) ran a slate of candidates, along with other "parties" that emphasized somewhat different approaches - one campaigned on a platform of more flexible home office rules (pre-Covid).

The Betriebsrat approves major HR policies, like how long open positions need to be advertised internally before they can be advertised outside the company, or approving non-shift Sunday or night work hours (kind of a pain, but also a protection against abuse), as well as employee data privacy matters, such as whether MS Teams presence status can be visible to people outside of the company.

Their cooperation is also necessary to fire permanent employees for cause after their 6 month trial period is over. This is a mixed blessing - it means that there are some useless people who can drag things out for ages, but also means that a PIP is more than a bum-covering exercise for management.

If you're having an issue, and don't feel like your boss is hearing you, you can go to a Betriebsrat member instead of HR (especially if it's an issue with HR), and there are enough of them that it's likely that you know one of them, or a colleague does.
This deserves more attention.
> but was so naive to think this was commonplace.

Been there, got the t-shirt, had it signed.

Over the years it has been a bitter pill to swallow to discover that the majority of my first ten years was spent working at places that were exceptionally forward thinking in ways that matter to me but it turns out don't matter as much to loads of other people. I've spent a lot of time butting heads with people who are 5, 10, 15 years behind where I empirically observed 'standard practices' are at.

The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed.

All of the Agile Manifesto signatories had been doing their own thing for at least 5-10 years before they tried to compare notes in 2001, and it was another 10 before most of us accepted half of XP as de rigeur. 15 years is a long, long time to wait for 'rain'.

Boeing was also once that way, and that survived the MD merger, though I don't know if that's still true.

> having to deal with autistic colleagues and managers

The discussion around using "autistic" as slang for someone with communication problems is a problem because it can be taken literally or as slang. And without knowing you, I can't be sure which way you meant it, especially in an industry where there are MANY autistic people.

So my suggestion is to avoid "bad words" that can be taken literally because without knowing you personally, I can't be SURE how you MEANT it. And my experiences with people throwing around "autistic" could be SIGNIFICANTLY less light-hearted than yours.

TL;DR: My suggestion is to stick to "bad words" that people can't be born with.
There are ways to make this point without comparing human beings to cancer.
Covid was never thought to be risky for children, especially under 5s, even when we didn't have a vaccine. Omicron is much less risky than other kinds of covid.

I saw one paper claiming the reason is that MMR vaccine gives children some protection against "severe" covid due to overlapping T-cells, but didn't check if it reproduced so wouldn't believe too much in that. (And I saw it on twitter from Dr Feigl-Ding who's an alarmist type.)

You can ask “What if” of anything.

We have limited information in almost every decision we make, yet we still have to decide (inaction is itself a decision). The key is what you fill in those bits of missing information with, not the results of the decision as no one is clairvoyant.

This sounds like a gambler. “You’re putting $100 on black?” “Yeah, I could lose $100, but what if I’m right?”

For both the gambler and the anti-vaxx you get 0 applause from me if you randomly guess a “what if” correctly. You only get credit if you had a hypothesis you could intelligently explain and then tested it robustly. Kind of like the scientific process.

It’s fine to play “what if” games for fun, but not smart if you’re trying to play the odds, then you need more substance in your decision making.

Like “what if eating vegetables ends up causing heart disease?” We’ve been wrong about nutrition before so “who knows?”
Currently:

P ---- CT ---- S

With VPN/whatever:

P ---- CT ---- VE ---- S

P = Phone

CT = Cell Tower

S = Server

VE = VPN endpoint

So given this the cell tower can still determine who is using lots of traffic, they just can snoop on that traffic.
Your comment is a great illustration of my point.

Many people that share your opinion feel so strongly that they "know the truth" and "are right" that they feel justified in "othering" - even though most have no qualifications for the subject.

I'm not sure what causes this, or what the solution is. It's certainly not how science works, or how a liberal society should operate. If those are values that are still important to us, I feel like there needs to be some sort of solution to this.

Maybe the problem lies in the medium. I wonder if you would be so hostile if we were discussing this over beers somewhere? Perhaps. I hope not.
It certainly seems likely that deer engage in behaviours outside that humans do not, that leads to much closer contact. I can think of at least one such behaviour. I don't think that wild animals are a good model for human epidemiology.
whats the percentage of non-cishet in your organization?
Hispanic is usually a good choice in these matters.
To be fair, many people had pointed out that unless we vaccinate the entire world, new variants would emerge, which may be better at evading the vaccine. That is exactly what happened with Omicron.
I haven't quit, but I have cut down by about half - replaced my regular strong instant coffee with 'mild', which was a very noticeable drop off.

After getting over the hump, I noticed I would fall asleep much, much more easily. It was great. However recently I've started doing 18:6 intermittent fasting, from 9:30-14:30. I've noticed it keeps me up a lot longer. Weird side effect I did not envision.

Anyway, would be keen to replace my mild with decaf at some point. I'm not a big fan of tea. Or starting the day with a water.
It's not paradoxical at all, net neutrality also protects from bad effects kicking in long-term. Zero-rating is effectively the same as providing dumping prices compared to the competition. It may benefit the customer now, but leads to lock-in.

See Facebook's internet.org.
You're acting as if it's not possible to steelman the case against invasive species. This is a bit disingenuous.

Imagine we discover an alien planet with no predators. Should we allow ecological merging, with reasonable expectation of large biodiversity loss?

I'm not an absolutist; there are opposite examples - imagine that in the far future Australia were about to finish its tectonic journey to touch another continent and we expected new connection to result in massive ecological disruptions. Trying to prevent such a thing forever would be questionable.

The point is: you have to dig into reasons and outcomes, and can't resolve this kind of debate by simply saying "foreign bad" or "foreign good".

I don't think the first sale doctrine applies here. This isn't an issue of trademark or copyright. This would likely fall into the realm of a restrictive covenant which are much more common in real estate transactions.

You want a tesla and that is great for you. It sounds though that this has biased you against more traditional "dealer" alternatives.

Removing features like the ability to resell does not allow dealers to jack up prices. If your reaction is anything typical, it will reduce demand and soften the dealer's position.

I see this very much as a pro-consumer move to limit speculators for reducing availability as they have repeatedly done with other high demand items.

No one, including the manufacturer (who you likely get your loan from) wants to see you default and there will almost certainly be options to sell back to the dealer to avoid that.
One interesting thing would be to know how much of the performance improvement in some of the compile tests is due to the high-bandwidth memory interface on the M1 chip. Since the M1 chip has both different cores AND a quintuple memory bandwidth compared to Ryzen's/Threadripper's off-chip memory, if you consider things like cache misses, one has to wonder what's the contribution of both to the performance increases.
There's arguably some profit motive for Pfizer and Moderna. But there isn't any for the FDA or all its other international peers. Not to mention that if the vaccine turns out to be dangerous in any way, the reputational damage will be incalculable and completely wipe away the billions made from what will probably be at most 10 doses of the vaccine, if we're unlucky.
The distinction between the two roles isn't that clear. Some data science jobs are very focused on engineering.
The problem is the person worried about their kids also wants everyone else to worry about their kids.

Problem is I have my own kids to worry about, and I worry plenty, just not about covid.
> For decades people would ask, "why is there no vaccine for the cold or flu like smallpox, measles, mumps, rubella, and chicken pox?" and the answer was that they were fast evolving corona viruses and you cannot vaccinate for those.

I would suggest doing some research on Google. We’ve had vaccines for influenza (flu) for over 70 years.

And yes, sometimes their efficacy was under 50% but they’ve always been called vaccines and have saved thousands of lives.
I don't think it was really intentional though.

I'm pretty sure that maximizing user engagement (as social media does) leads to communities with easily defined and large borders. The border between rich and poor might be easily defined, but it isn't so large as to have a constant flow of anecdotes. The borders between races or genders are much more "daily life."

And -- ultimately -- I don't think the rich are that different of humans either. I see the issue as system level, some flaw in design which makes inequalities and differences grow rather than taper out.
"no different", meaning no particular reason to stay off it. Just a bit groggier in the mornings.
Remember that in the beginning there was an enormous shortfall of the masks that were known to be effective in preventing respiratory disease. The CDC (and others) were very worried about medical personnel not being able to get them, very justifiably in hindsight. Just imagine how much worse the (already bad) panic buying of masks would have made it if the CDC had told everyone to mask up.

We absolutely did not know that cloth masks would help. We (incorrectly) thought that anything less than a N95 mask would not help at all, and so that is what was communicated. Since then we have done a lot of science and have learned that while N95 masks are a lot better than, say, double-layered cloth masks, the latter are still much better than nothing in slowing down infection rates.

We also were very focused on the effects for the wearer of masks. We were not focused on the effects of a possible spreader wearing the masks. Part of this was that all of the previous pandemics had diseases that people were symptomatic when they spread the disease. With Covid-19 we have a disease the mostly spreads when people are a-symptomatic. So the potential spreaders are the ones who most need to be wearing masks, and since we can't tell them apart, we need everyone in masks.

All of these things are things we learned along the way. Harping on the CDC (or others) for not knowing them is just wrong. For some of the references here please see:

Didn’t YC already try this with Yuri Milner ten or so years ago? From what I remember they canceled it because it was creating zombie companies, where the founders felt like they couldn’t give up on a bad idea because they still had so much runway.
