Among more than 2.5 million vaccinated HCO members who were 16 years of age or older, 54 cases met the criteria for myocarditis. The estimated incidence per 100,000 persons who had received at least one dose of vaccine was 2.13 cases (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.56 to 2.70). The highest incidence of myocarditis (10.69 cases per 100,000 persons; 95% CI, 6.93 to 14.46) was reported in male patients between the ages of 16 and 29 years.

seems pretty clear cut to me.
Yep, the same experience and conclusions. I'm afraid of using this in production, because chances are some of the major players would say "well, I'll just kick the can down the road", and I will be dependency-deadlocked for all the time it's in the air.

I'm referring to the billions of people who now live without fear of polio, and have for several generations.

How many children are you referring to?

The 100,000 doses of Cutter-manufactured Salk vaccine in 1955 with insufficiently inactivated, producing ~300 cases of paralytic polio, and causing the NIH & PHS to create and apply minimum manufacturing standards?
Modern semiconductors seems a lot like the F-1 engine on the Saturn V. Even if you had the blueprints for it, you couldn't build it without doing a lot of work to rediscover all of the missing details that were in the minds of the engineers and tradesmen who built it.

Also, (I didn't read the original article), but there's been some suggestion that some of these companies, like HSMC, were really just investor scams. They raised a whole bunch of money, promised a lot, but didn't actually know how to do what they said they did. Kinda like a Chinese Silicon version of Theranos. I think HSMC even had an ASML EUV machine, but never got to use it.
Intel Macbooks are one of the worst out there. Apple designed a heatsink that it's not capable of handling the heat. I want to try an M1 too, but for repairability, I think framework laptops are the closest things we have to old thinkpads in that regard.

npm is under no obligation to facilitate that. It's well within their rights to use their TOS to refuse service to him in publishing his disruptive package, and simply continue distributing the previous versions under the license terms Marak explicitly licensed them under.

You seem to be treating the "THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND" section of the MIT license as a blanket "well it says they can do whatever so it's fine", but not giving the "Administrators at npm reserve the right to delete content hosted on the npm Services that they deem unacceptable" term the same leeway.

Either we can expect some sort of implied good faith from both parties despite their legal terms and licenses disavowing such, or we can simply expect the exact text of the licenses. To have one set of expectations on Marak, and another on npm is unreasonable.

With an old airplane, one thing I'd be worried about is Kapton wiring[1]. A lot of these older planes were wired with a type of orange insulator that breaks down very easily over time and under mechanical stresses. A handful of planes went down because of it; Bruce would still need to think about the fire risk and should consider replacing the wiring if he hasn't already.

It's both - if you fix the bad incentives, you can fix the behavior. If you don't then you won't.
Let's say I get a math text book published in China. In the first page it prints 1+1=2.
I don't for a minute believe this equation is actually true. But on the other hand, it seems like a very strange lie to tell, because it's so unbelievable. There are too many digits to select, why do they choose 2? It would be far easier to believe a claim that 1+1=11.

It's tempting to believe that the Chinese government just doesn't give a damn what people think, and are therefore willing to say anything at all.

The only interpretation that I can come up with that makes sense is that they just choosed the mose closed digit after 1 without looking like idiots.

Guess what? If you find a state which is too unbelievalbe to be a lie, it has a very big chance that it is not a lie, unless you really get a evidence to against it.

I think this is going to be a common outcome. I read a contact tracing case of Omicron from a Hong Kong quarantine hotel. They have a strict 21 day 0-contact quarantine for entering the country and only 4 cases a day in a city of 7 million. One positive traveler infected another traveler. The positive traveler opened the hotel door at the ordained time to retrieve food and the virus migrated to the hallway, then the other person opened their door hours later and was infected. Our previous sanitary regime is no match for something that spreads as easily as measles and that is evident in the skyrocketing case counts. How many people do you know who are positive at this moment?

> Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.

Since other comments here and everywhere already covered that, left unchecked, this just devolves straight back into a bad system where a select few end up as the arbiters of truth, I want to ask: as technologists, what sort of systems are possible that incentivize people to find the truth instead of finding “facts” that just confirm what they already believe? The only thing I can think of is prediction/betting markets. These are good at discerning truth of events with easy to observe outcomes, and anyone is free to contribute provided they’re willing to have skin in the game. Outside of that, it becomes harder.
>Moderna was supposed to close out a trial in late November but instead expanded it to hundreds of new participants. Why? Unclear.

The usual way to determine if an exchange is liquid for a particular trading pair is the spread between the buy and the sell. If you can buy or sell it quickly for an agreed upon price it's liquid. That's all there basically is to liquidity. Now lets add the constraint that you want the buying or selling to happen at the intrinsic value. If crypto has no value then everything above it is basically a bonus, so by definition crypto is liquid.

Sure when volatility gets too high on the real stockmarkets, they temporarily pause the share or the exchange and make it, by definition, illiquid. This is however a completely artificial limitation and there is nothing inherently contradictory about having high volatility and high liquidity.

I presume you belong to the school of thought that says if you can't do a cash flow analysis then it doesn't have value. But I don't get that, there are tons of things that have value without being able to do a cash flow analysis on it.
Most of them are not very close at all, but "we" also invested in long-distance transport at 735 kV (among the highest voltages in use at the time), which reduces losses. A good chunk of it came down in the late 1990s due to a freezing rain storm, plunging half of Québec in the dark, but ut was rebuilt pretty quickly.
Your Signal client is at this moment logged into a Signal account on the Signal server. Sealed sender does nothing to protect against this - Signal knows that tialaramex is at that IP address.

The server fully aware where Steve is logged in from, and sees a message come from there to tialaramex. On top of even that: you then reply back, server sees a message going to Steve, going straight back to the IP address where it already knows he's logged in from.

Another thing people don't consider is that Signal's core server infra is hosted at AWS... so Amazon can also peek into both this network traffic and also dump out that it's your Signal account (ie. phone number) tied to that IP from the EC2 instance's memory.

These folks showed that this sealed sender stuff is broken last year: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-paper/improving-signals-... (and there's an acknowledgment from the Signal team on page 3 of the PDF).
You can rationalize all you want, but you can't reason religious people out of things they didn't reason themselves into. If these people can be convinced that they shouldn't be doing thing XYZ on the order of an omnipotent being that nobody has ever seen, chances seem to be even between them accepting exceptions from this order and them rejecting these exceptions. After all, you see other people rejecting/ignoring other parts of their own religion all the time.

> one can cry for the world that was, or one can get up and live in the world that is.

This is certainly beside the (your) point, but it's worth mentioning that mourning and grief (ie, to "cry for the world that was") is a crucial and possibly unskippable component to "live in the world that is."

They're certainly not mutually exclusive activities, and I'd love to see more STEM demographics recognize the former's necessity.

That’s why as soon as there is a reliable mechanical heart I am getting one.

Massive stroke and sudden cardiac arrest are one of the few ways you can just drop dead with no warning I’d love to reduce that risk by half with a fully artificial heart. Assuming of course it’s more reliable than a regular one.

Same with elective prosthetics there will come a time when bionic arms or legs infer a physical advantage.

Hope I’m around to take advantage!

Yes, if someone chooses not to follow semver correctly they can create problems but there are a somewhat unlimited number of ways in which an untrustworthy maintainer can do that.

The article casually equates gain to change in "power or amplitude of a signal." While not wrong per se, this is one of the drawbacks of using lay references in specific fields. Power and amplitude mean the same thing to 99% of people, but they are not the same thing at all. Amplitude is measured in volts, while power is measured in watts. Voltage doesn't do work, convey information, or obey conservation laws; power does.

As a result, when engineers refer to gain in voltage alone, they will (or should) go out of their way to use the term "voltage gain." Otherwise it's a power ratio, in which the denominator is typically a given number of watts or the power present at the feedpoint of a hypothetical isotropic antenna.

Antenna people rarely care about voltage gain outside the context of impedance matching or regulatory matters. Voltage is useful when discussing field strength in volts per meter, but at the end of the day, the antenna engineer's job is to deliver power, not voltage. (Also, to avoid embarrassing Steve Jobs.)

Thanks for your reply.

Ultimately it just depends on your vision of what you'd like your city to be like.

I would like everyone to have the option of cycling or walking around their city without fear of death or hospitalisation. It doesn't seem like an extremist position - the roads are for everyone, there is no intrinsic reason to prioritise cars.

It's so frustrating that it becomes part of some car vs bike culture war.
Patients waiting in ERs for days (because you wanted an example):

https://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/coronavir...

For people aged 18-37, risk of getting hospitalized is 10x if unvaccinated: https://www.doh.wa.gov/Portals/1/Documents/1600/coronavirus/...

The case rate is not as much higher for young people, only 2x, but the hospitalization rate is 10x higher. This is the youngest age group as well, and the data is worse as the age increases.

Putting the two together, the picture is clear: there are people in the ER (or ICU) that don't really need to be there, and because of how easy it was to avoid they are directly responsible for the suffering they cause in those who have to wait. I'm not sure how a layer of nuance beyond these facts can change that.
> That's just the branding decision I was speaking of. You chose to brand the sane modern version of capitalism - still capitalism, but sane modern version of communism - socialism.

That is not just branding. Communism had these tenets whenever it was tried. The only logical conclusion is that it's inevitable to get there. Capitalism had it's bad years, but now it's pretty good, it lifted billions out of poverty.

Communism still did intentional famines well into the 1940s, after WWII. Pol Pot was even later. By then, capitalist countries are much more tame and humane. Blaming intentional famines on the lack of fertilizers is just arguing without good faith. It's much more because of 1. lack of regard for human life and 2. central decisions like exporting food in a drought. These 2 traits are so common in communism that I believe they're inseparable.
I didn't mean to imply they were mutually exclusive; just that in terms of "most high-impact documentation you can write", I find ensuring I link the ticket higher than making sure I have a thoughtful commit message, for the reasons listed.

Fair that it can disappear eventually if you change ticket trackers or whatever; that's a risk of changing ticket trackers. Hopefully you maintain both for a bit, and once you're six months out or whatever and retire the old, you don't need as much context since things have moved on (and there's a generational effect in tickets akin to that in garbage collection; you tend to need recent things more often than old things, and the older, the less likely you are to need it).

But just in terms of "what would I rather have", a link to the ticket every time. And in terms of "what am I more likely to provide", a link to the ticket every time as well (since all the communication on the ticket came about out of need; writing a thorough commit message is out of preparation, and I, and everyone else, am WAY better at consistently doing things that I need to do than preparing for possible future things)
The wording "doesn't support" seems very cooperative; it's less likely to generate angry calls to the network's customer service than "sabotages", "blocks", or "interferes with" - all of which are arguably more accurate descriptions.
Canine (dog) hearts are also very similar to human hearts. Historically, they were the predominant large animal model for cardiovascular diseases and many landmark studies used them. For some disease models a canine heart resembles an "old human heart" better than a pig heart.

The public sentiment is much more favorable for using pig hearts opposed to dog hearts. It's not nice having to explain that you kill dogs for your research.

He'd have to rewire it anyway. Airplanes are not wired up with 110VAC.
Please correct anything below:

There's a couple points: low- vs high-trust, and distributed vs centralized. Blockchains have in turn two mechanisms to match: proof-of-work to handle low-trust environments, and public cryptographic ledgers to handle distributed work. In this case, games are high-trust, centralized services. There is a single controller that authoritatively owns the current game state. So this does not seem a good match for blockchain technology.

If you're not in a low-trust environment, you don't need proof-of-X. You just a public cryptographic ledger written to by a set of trusted keys. Any party can extend the blockchain by just creating and signing the next block. (Would need some contention resolution for simultaneous write attempts -- could be as simple as whoever got the lower signature hash wins.)
Everybody, vaccinated or not, was in lockdown in many parts of the world last year. Which meant asymptomatic infections were far less likely to result in transmission.

Now, we have vaccinated people allowed to mingle and do "high risk" activities without being tested, despite the vaccine increasing the likelihood of asymptomatic infection. Unvaccinated people, who are more likely to be symptomatic, and therefore more likely to know if they have covid, cannot do those high risk activities.

So the irony is that the people more likely to be unknown carrier, have more freedoms and can therefore spread the virus more easily.

Behavior and professionalism should be a class day 1 in any university. Students do not know what that is, and therefore they don't understand how to conduct themselves on this discord. They think it's like text messaging - a place to complain and talk drama - but it's not. Sadly universities are wholey occupied in politically aligning themselves blue with focusing on progressive topics before the basics.

People are growing up with the internet, but theyre only seeing Twitter or Reddit drama. Comment sections. They have to be told that's not what a professional forum is and how to conduct productively in a collaboration.

Just to add to appsec112's point, while I did frame my original point as a 'perception', I'm willing to take a bet that if you put together US companies stats, I would be more right than wrong.

And while we are at 'actual stats' conversation, can we do the following -

- for the sake of this conversation, not divvy up enterprise/saas from devtools and enterprise-y fintech and enterprise-y health?

- publish stats on stanford/mit claim?

- publish stats on previous employer? ex-FAANG vs ex-YC portfolio vs none of those.

I appreciate YC publishing stats but the industry's work is not done when just high-level stats are published without scrutiny.
