Correct or incorrect is sort of irrelevant, because it's a problem itself if they aren't including severity of symptoms in the study.

If they are ignoring symptoms to approve a vaccine who's primary remaining benefit is ... reducing severity of symptoms ... then how exactly has the trial proved anything?

Since antibodies are no longer a reliable indicator of immunity or of preventing transmission, then reduced severity is the primary remaining benefit.

Ideally they'd be looking at a cumulative risk/prevention assessment, but I don't see how they do that while excluding observed symptoms.

If they are using antibody levels as a proxy for this when they could just ... directly observe symptoms... then there would be a bigger problem with the study than just a failure to show sufficient efficacy.
> The biggest reason the under 5s vaccine is taking so long is that they don't suffer severe enough symptoms that they can easily test the efficacy of the virus.

Do you have a source on that?

My understanding is the reason it's taking so long is 1) an abundance of caution because the risk/reward calculation is different and 2) young children's immune systems don't work the same as adults').
It's entirely possible for someone experiencing racism to be sexist. It's entirely possible for someone being oppressed from outside their community to be privileged within it. It's entirely possible for for someone to have one set of unwanted backward views that negatively affect them, while holding on to a different set of backward views that benefit them.

It's also almost always true that one person does not speak for everyone they claim to represent.

There is rarely an objectively correct position when it comes to race, gender, and identity. I don't see this conversation as being an exception.
You can use another construct built into find that negates the need for a for loop:

find . -name foo -exec do something to {} \;

For example:

find . type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

find . -size +1G -exec ls -lh {} \; |awk '{ print $5" "$9 }'
In what way?

I have to cover my face every time I talk to someone. That's in no way inconsequential. It's depressing and antisocial.

I have to wear a mask while at the gym. That's in no way easy, particularly for cardio.

I'm lucky that I can work from home, otherwise I'd be wearing a mask for nearly my entire day at work.

And of course masking is just a part of the overall Covid restrictions that we still have to deal with.

To be clear, I'm in the bay area and fully follow local mask guidance. I can do that while also trying to figure out how long we can do this for, and acknowledging that I can't do this forever.

If I wrote a similar post as a Mac user a week into trying Linux it would be about 10 miles long.

1) When I accidentally bump the middle mouse button, it barfs up my clipboard contents where I didn't want it to. Linux knows about normal cut/copy/paste conventions but for some reason does it wrong here. Because Linux is hot garbage, obviously.

Here's a video of me spending several minutes trying one solution, realizing it nuked the middle mouse button completely and I can no longer middle click to open tabs, sorting out how to undo that, finding another solution, installing xbindkeys xsel and xdotool, setting up ~/.xbindkeysrc, realizing it doesn't work after I reboot, and then going back to google to figure out what systemd is and how to make something run on startup.

I've read that the pfizer study compared rates of positive test cases between the two groups.

BUT, the tests were administered based on self-reported symptoms which were then evaluated by a staff member to decide whether a test was warranted. This absolutely blew my mind.

This kind of avoidable subjective decision making should not be happening in a clinical trial. All participants should have been tested at regular intervals.

> What I personally dont agree with is redefining the success % (about 80%?) and a target of a vaccine to mean "You wont get hospitalized" (as opposed to you will have no observable symptoms).

Where are these part of the definition? This isn’t something they put in their definition so far as I can see.

Anyone who thought that the previous definition meant “100% effective, no symptoms” was woefully misinformed. Indeed, if people thought that before, then it’s really, really good that the CDC updated their definition.

> The real issue at hand is that the public has an understanding of what a "vaccine" means to them, and that public definition and the establishment provided new definition are grossly different. I'm not a fan of being told what a word means by overlords who control the definitions of language.

Then, again, the public was woefully (willfully?) misinformed. Vaccines have never given perfect immunity to all recipients. I don’t know anyone in my personal life who has ever indicated that they thought vaccines were 100% protective, though.

I also don’t know who should be defining the word vaccine if not medical professionals. It also looks like Webster agrees with the CDC, though for all I know they’ve changed their definition recently.

I question the intellectual honesty of the people spreading these complaints, because many of these same people talk about “natural immunity”. Someone who thinks “immunity” means “0% chance of infection” shouldn’t be talking about “natural immunity”, either. (I’m not saying you, here, to be clear.)

You have to blind to be surprised by this outcome.

The lower representation of women in STEM, has to do with fewer women wanting to join STEM or Tech programs in the first place. These preferences are especially visible among domestic candidates.

Given the lower supply of minority candidates and proportionally higher demand to appear diverse, major institutions will naturally end up with a bias favoring minorities in hiring on an individual basis.

Now, I will admit that the bias may not always manifest in a lower bar. Often, it involves simply interviewing more minorities or making it easier for them access grants, top projects or awards that accelerate their careers. Some of these benefits are implicitly reaped by the rich and connected, irrespective of their minority status. Others might argue, that the explicit affirmative action is merely balancing a culture that innately discourages women from entering the field. That's a whole another discussion.

But, to think that the observations of this study were surprising, shows priors born out of drinking political koolaid.

The interventions deployed against COVID had indeed stopped a notable disease - influenza. It is noteworthy that these interventions were designed to fight the flu, apparently because that was the public health playbook at hand. But I agree it is remarkable how interventions which could crush the flu don't seem to bother any number of common cold viruses much at all.
> It seems npm and GitHub do take action in cases like leftpad and colors.. and people don't like them (Microsoft) doing so unilaterally.

A few people don't like this but I think that most people are quite happy not to have their projects compromised. I would not assume that the loudest voices are broadly representative, especially with Microsoft being a lighting rod for complaints.

> Maybe part of the 0-day fix is go multiparty: allow weighted votes by dependents to take over the namespace to force a patch/reversion.

I think there's a lot of promise in this approach, especially if it's all public and deliberative — e.g. freeze the attacker's account, remove the compromised package, etc. but then have a public voting period for a transfer. The other question I'd have is whether it'd make sense to have a restricted set of maintaining organizations — e.g. I'd be a lot more comfortable if, say, the new project got transferred to an organization like the Apache foundation than some random developer who could plausibly be preparing to quietly ship a crypto-miner or something.

On their own, these numbers do not contradict each other.
You don't even need a cryptographic signature if it goes to court. It helps, but not specifically required. Also, a court has no power to overturn a blockchain transaction - unless they have a bunch of miners and energy to rewrite the chain.

Some other differences include append only nature of blockchains. I don't know the ledger has not been modified or reordered or had entries removed. Also if the author doesn't like you, he could ignore your transactions or even drop the entry from the CSV. With say, Ethereum, you would be able to know all these things up front.
But the npm/JS doesn't work that way.

NPM will by default create a lockfile that pins the dependencies. `npm install` will install dependencies from the lockfile as long as package.json hasn't been updated, or update the lockfile if it has. `npm ci` will install from the lockfile and fail hard if it can't satisfy the version constraints in package.json.

imo this gives the best of both worlds: Easy, controlled updates to the latest compatible versions and stable CI/CD.

The reason color.js was an issue is because people use `npm install` in their CI and either don't commit their lockfiles or have their lockfile inadvertently out of date—It's easy to do and I'm not sure how many people actually know about `npm ci`.
> I am very doubtful that very many people here would turn down that sort of money if given the opportunity. Its very easy to wax poetic about virtue when nobody is trying to tempt you.

Indeed, not a lot of people would be able to turn that down. Moxie? That's one of them, that I like to believe they would though.
Pedantically, even an anecdote is data...of some sort.

> you can collect 10000 anecdotes, put them in a spreadsheet with some information about the people who said it, and suddenly you got data.

You can, but that's not a controlled study. The anecdotes can't be verified. So that data is not worth citing. I wish it were, which would make science a lot easier.
I know people who, in their jenkins jobs, just run git clones from the repos. They're not even managing versions.

Again: What Do You Want Us to Do About Covid That We Aren't Doing Already?
>he no longer supports any measures to protect those who still are.

Who are we protecting? What measures? Why is he responsible for the health and actions of others? Who exactly is he helping by getting more boosters?

Why is it hard for you to understand that a free society doesn't put the onus on others to keep you or anyone else healthy. You are free to boost the shit out of your system, quadruple mask, and lock down all you want for the end of time. No one will force you to go out. Leave the rest to freedom of individual choice.
It also helps if you can find someone with $16 billion of Facebooks blood money burning a hole in their conscience. And a hundred mil or so that'd fallen behind the couch cushions they can throw your way as a PR stunt or reputation management exercise...
Flu vaccines are hit and miss each year, and (cdc) only reduce risk by 40-60%. So it's a pretty comparable risk, and we're being given natural experiments like Texas and Florida to really test that hypothesis.

I dunno what the right measures are to take for kids that young, but the difference we're seeing between the flu measures we (mostly don't) take and some anti covid measures for young children is hard to explain.

And any time someone says, um, the data appears to show that covid is not actually that dangerous to young children, you get people (who I'm 99% sure don't lock their kids in the house for flu season) having a fit that you're risking their lives.

Wow, this is fabulous! They spent almost $5000 to buy and test every mask available on Amazon.

Honestly, comparing people who are fat to unvaccinated people who could change their vaccination status with a few free jabs but day after day refuse to do so is more likely to tell me you despise fat people more than anything else.

I absolutely agree that no one should ever be threatened to have medical care taken away from them! That is precisely why I'm ok with villifying (note that I'm not saying "calling them names" or "refuse treatment") the unvaccinated, as that is precisely what they are doing! And no, this is absolutely not comparable to anything else: there has been no sudden explosion in the last two years of obesity or drunk driving or smoking to the point that there are no hospital beds for anyone else. Only covid has done that.

I don't think that disproves anything. First, I question their stats. IE I think they are straight-up fudging their numbers. Second, there are more people being hospitalized in my area (which has high rates of vax) than there are unvaxxed people. I would have agreed with you until omicron, but it's clear this is hitting vaxxed people are similar rates to unvaxxed, and that the hospitalization rates are similar.

> should use the version of colors that svgo asked for

Another thing about setting exact dependencies is reducing duplication. Libraries are encouraged to use loose ranges, because if everyone pins exact versions for every dependency, then you could end up with 10 to 20 different copies of 'colors' in your tree, instead of having just 1 or 2 copies that work across the board.

The parent commenter that I was replying to was talking about:

"people [who] were willing to sacrifice [..] their quality-of-life"

Not people who got fucked over as collateral damage by the pandemic. But people who sacrificed. A sacrifice is "giving up something highly valued for the sake of something else", and it's something you "give", not something someone takes against your will.

The essential workers who sacrificed were and are heroes. First responders, nurses, doctors, teachers, grocery store clerks, vaccine scientists. The people keeping us alive. They deserve our respect and admiration for their sacrifice.

But the parent commenter says they sacrificed their "quality of life". That's something very vague. It's not necessarily their livelihood, or apartment, or life. "Quality of life" could mean nearly anything that makes you happy.

There's a whole bunch of people who are not essential workers who think that what they sacrificed is just as important, and those people's "quality of life sacrifice" were leisure activities like brunch. Or, like the parents who just don't want to deal with their kids, "sacrificed their kid's education" (even though no kid's education is destroyed by a year or two of sitting inside). Probably a majority of the population complaining about their quality of life are these people, and that's who I'm referring to.
> Liberals support "my body, my choice" when it comes to abortions, but they don't want you to have a choice over whether or not to get the vaccine. Conservatives support "my body, my choice" when it comes to vaccines, but don't want to you have a choice over whether or not to get an abortion.

But when it comes to abortion, it's not "my body, my choice", according to pro-life advocates. It's two bodies, one of which is not yours.

There's more nuance in these discussions than can be reduced to a slogan or talking point. "Freedom" ought to map to what gives people the most personal liberty possible while restraining evil and its proliferation. But pursuing that requires defining "evil" which maps directly onto worldviews -- and we land squarely back at square one.

We all may be hypocrites in some way, but the real problem is that we don't agree on what is good and evil -- or rather, that a sizable portion of the population (or all of it) is wrong on that most important question.

Modern US politics is what it is because of strongly differing worldviews.

Isn’t the flu vaccine a bit of a crap shoot though? There’s I believe 7 variants of the flu, and the one vaccine we get every year is a bit of a educated guess [1] such that the flu vaccine may not actually do anything helpful at all. I don’t think this is a strong argument.
