Long enough for there to be a sufficient amount of statistically significant data that demonstrably proves that mRNA techniques are safe with no deleterious long term side effects especially compared to the afflictions they are supposed to mitigate, and in spite of their disastrous results in animal trials over the past few decades. You don't need a specific time because we have specific ways of determining statistically significant effects over time and populations. The amount of data that currently exists is 0.

Non eradicating vaccines during a pandemic of disease with transmissibility as high as COVID are actually a terrible idea for the same reason not finishing your antibiotics is: It applies selective pressure that promotes immune escape and treatment resistance.

>By virtue of its distribution these vaccines have already been tested far more extensively than any other vaccine in history at the time of their release. If you don't trust this vaccine then you should never trust any future vaccine.

This is a new level of newspeak. Releasing without testing is testing. Slavery is freedom. War is peace.

> Covid was never thought to be risky for children, especially under 5s, even when we didn't have a vaccine.

This is likely correct, but

> Omicron is much less risky than other kinds of covid.

There's some indication (though no solid proof) that the jump in child hospitalizations is due to omicron being _more_ severe in children. The proposed mechanism is that its focus on the upper respiratory system instead of the lungs makes it less severe for us and worse for young children (in line with other childhood diseases that are generally taken somewhat seriously).

Take a wild guess: how many backups these mere 4000 TB already have all across the EU? I'd say at least 8, maybe 20.

Even if Europol miraculously agrees to delete one ZFS data pool, the other N-1 remain. So yeah, it's a PR theater. Pretty sure that the moment they found out what EDPS knows, a few sysadmins were ordered not to sleep until a big redundancy ratio has been achieved.

But it's still VERY impressive that a discussion about the tradeoffs between privacy and security is possible. That's a huge plus (if the discussion comes to being in the first place but still).

It's certainly an interesting proposition! In general, Davis has been very very NIMBY for the city center, just getting a Target on the very outskirts of city limits around 2010.

And yet there was very few attempts to remedy this mischaracterization from the onset. Government willfuly led people to believe that the covid vaccine would be like any other - it would inoculate the population, and all this would blow over.
In 2019 I was an SE2 the thing that turned it around was reading this one book https://www.amazon.com/Stealing-Corner-Office-Strategies-Bus... . Based on the title of the book it's easy to misconstrue as a guide to using underhanded tactics to get ahead but it's not. It gives you the tools and strategies to understand how people actually get ahead working in corporations today.
Yeah - I saw they were working on that, I think that's a smart approach.

Having enough excess capacity in healthcare systems to cope with potential future pandemics is too expensive. You'd need a lot more medical staff, plus more equipment and hospital bed capacity.

There would be a perception for a lot of the time that the cost of all of these things is wasteful - whether you're talking about public or private healthcare.

Not being able to say when the next pandemic might occur is going to make it a hard sell - how do you tell taxpayers or shareholders that you need to keep extra staff on retainer for something that may not happen for 100 years?

If you put these extra staff to use on other types of (non-essential) healthcare, then you're going to have to cancel all of that when the next pandemic happens. That will then lead to backlogs as operations are cancelled, screening isn't carried out etc. - and you're back to healthcare having to shut down.

Also, what do you plan for? Not every pandemic is the same.
>The model works very well in most European countries.

Regardless of its effectiveness, single-payer is not the norm in "most European countries". Americans naturally get exposed most to the UK and Canada and so think that their single-payer systems with zero/minimal cost on delivery are what "everyone else" uses, but it's not true. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands are among those that mandate getting one of dozens/hundreds of private plans (basically Obamacare without exemptions). Australia has a government-run plan, but *strongly* encourages people to move to private plans. France has three big nonprofit plans for the entire country, with 30% copayments (akin to a US high-deducctible plan, without the corresponding HSA). Etc., etc.
I am guessing that AppleTV traffic is very low compared to Netflix or YouTube. Anyway I guess this setup must be super complicated. Apple is probably partnering with tons of entities to provide this all over the world. It must be a huge challenge at Apple scale. I wonder if they have any long term goals, which are not obvious.

Terrible. The official method for blocking iCloud Relay is via DNS: https://developer.apple.com/support/prepare-your-network-for... I wonder if this is what they're doing.

If so, it's a hassle, but you can specify custom DNS servers (even DoH and DoT) for mobile connections using a .mobileconfig file. https://dns.notjakob.com/ can generate them for you.

Probably a good idea to do this anyway to keep your carrier from spying on your DNS requests.

On some other forums/blogs that I follow, there are Turkish information operations guys who post about the triumphs of the Turkish defence industry. Their lead guy says that Turkish companies are throwing million-dollar salaries at experienced American engineers with things like aerospace experience. Take that statement with a pound of salt. But I did look at a few Turkish companies that seemed to be hiring foreign expertise, and their domestic arms industry has grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade, despite their broad economic problems.

> Non-vaccinated people are not going out and partying (partly because they legally can't, and partly because they probably don't feel like dying).

Here is a equally unsubstantiated claim: voluntarily unvaccinated people are going about partying and otherwise carrying on because they largely don't believe that COVID is real or has ever been a problem worse than a cold or flu, or don't care either way.

We don't know how differently vaccinated and unvaccinated people are behaving right now. Nobody is collecting that data. The only thing we know is that most of the severe hospitalized cases now are among the unvaccinated, and that the hospitalization/infection rate is significantly lower with Omicron than Delta.

Everyone is just trying to figure out how to keep the health system from being overwhelmed since The infection rate for this variant is so much higher. With the exception of the voluntarily unvaccinated, there is little blame to be laid on anyone in this situation. We are all just trying to do a controlled landing into the endemic stage of this virus.
Just an anecdotal note. I also switched to decaf, but I found that even decaf had enough caffeine in it to impact my sleep. I didn't really notice any sleep improvements until I had cut out all sources of caffeine. YMMV of course, but if sleep is still an issue, might be worth a try. And just as a warning, I got worse withdrawal when I stopped the decaf then when I went from caf->decaf. That was very unexpected, but also might have been a sign that I was sensitive enough to even the small amount in decaf.
> And there is no denying there has be a reasonable cause to in the last four years.

Yes there is. The US has domestic intelligence agencies, why should the NSA be engaging in domestic intelligence when it's explicitly not their mandate?

Plenty of ways to build connections with people without them seeing the entirety of your face. Heck, I've plenty of internet friends who have never seen any part of it!

> I can't. Period. And I don't think I'm a minority here.

What I'm saying is: yes, people could, as in, they won't die or be permanently injured by it. At most there would be a few minor inconveniences, particularly during the time it takes for people to adapt. People say they can't, in general, to mean that they won't and as a way to feel less guilty about it.
> "Everything" in the Java world needs log4j updates, but some dependecy's dependencies pull in some specific version. There you need the way to say "get the new version from 5 minutes ago" without waiting for all levels of the dependency hierachy.

At least with Maven, that's extremely simple. Just add to your project a dependency on that "new version from 5 minutes ago" of log4j. Maven always prefers the version from a direct dependency. You don't have to wait for "all levels of the dependency hierarchy" at all.

A full page ad in the SJ Mercury News may be more likely to be seen by upper level Google management than a post on HN. It's also more likely to be seen by other big Google customers, who might be convinced to put additional pressure on Google. And it might be noticed by other large news publications.

If Google is alienating customers who spend almost $1M/year, they may have deep systemic issues that require a significant course correction. That would need to happen at the highest levels of the company.

Since when is an 8% return "meagre"?! I get it, the last year had a crazy stock price increase, but it was an outlier.
Source? You are claiming that the IFR for COVID doubled between alpha and delta. You also didn't expand upon the numbers. Is the 2% death rate for fully vaccinated, partially vaccinated, unvaccinated? The three groups aren't remotely at the same risk. So which group has a 2% IFR from delta? Which nation released these stats? Where are they? And what about the asymptomatic cases which go undetected and are therefore not present in the denominator? Seroprevalence surveys have always indicated a gross underreporting of cases due to asymptomatics not pursuing tests.

I don't intend to be rude, but what you are stating is a huge deal, and should have been earth-shattering news in the media. A doubling of fatality for a pandemic is not something that fails to make it into talking points when governments across the world are struggling to convince people to get vaccinated.

Additionally, I live in the US state of Colorado. A few days ago, a post on HN's front page showed that Colorado's cases are now 100% omicron. That's not being addressed in your statement. Eventually, omicron will crowd out delta in other places as well.
Is there a more recent storage medium with a single size (ish, 650 vs 700 is close enough)? USB drives come in all sizes, and DVD and Blu-Ray come in single and multi-layer. It's also the last time most people interacted with the media for storage, rather than buying pre-pressed copies.

With Apple Relay this might get way harder, if not impossible.
Sure, but the biggest difference is you jump into Linux knowing it has rough edges, and lots of options for fixing the thing that bothers you, versus Mac, which everyone touts as "just works". You expect Mac to be polished.
Also, more of a comment to the parent comment and not you directly, but asking existing Mac users if Mac is good is actually opposite of who is qualified to answer the question. Of course Mac users will say they enjoy MacOS, survivorship bias. Most of them still compare Mac to what windows/linux was 15 years ago, and have tried anything else recently.

I thought it was well-known that the peak of the infectiousness tends to occur before the symptoms develop (if they develop at all), which is an important reason why the virus is so difficult to contain. For example from the WHO site: "Laboratory data suggests that infected people appear to be most infectious just before they develop symptoms (namely 2 days before they develop symptoms) and early in their illness."

They are used. A lot of the comments in this thread that are about NPM specifically are strawmen, since it has been standard to use lock files for years.

You could still have an issue if you need to update a dependency, for security or other reasons, since it could bring along a bunch of updated sub-dependencies of its own (and sub-sub-dependencies, and so on). But that problem is not unique to NPM and exists in any language or platform that includes package management.
For all its flaws in Facebook integration, WhatApp is the single most impactful system ever in getting people to use secure communication. 1B+ people started using end-to-end encrypted communications overnight when WhatsApp enabled e2ee.

You are looking for "quanto" options.

You are right these dont exist in any meaningful form at the moment. However USD(T/C) quanto swaps exist (a.k.a. perpetuals) on all major exchanges and fufil linear short payoff profiles. If you are looking for the convexity of an options payoff and still want it USD "settled", you can construct a portfolio of a long/short quanto swap (binance, ftx etc.) and a option (likely on deribit) to synthetically generate the same payoff profile (note not cross margined). You will need to manage and calculate the "PnL" (which is the difference of the quanto options value vs. a regular options value) and hedge it yourself dynamically via the swap. If that all sounds very complicated, thats because it is. You should realise that on a risk neutral basis options and swaps are equivalent and all you are doing via an option is taking leverage and a view on implied volatility, all whilst probably paying a fat bid ask/spread. You probably are better off trading a liquid swap at your desired leverage level (which can be set to match the delta of the option you have your eye on)...

Alternatively if you are looking to do a trade on NASDAQ you could just buy puts on a company like Microstrategy (MSTR) which tracks the price of BTC reasonably closely (due to their large balance sheet holdings).

Once (or perhaps "if") Crypto ETF's are eventually approved by the SEC, liquid USD options markets will follow.

IMO what should be done is dependency pinning, but package repositories can send a "critical update" to essentially replace a pinned dependency. Maintainers have to explicitly request that a critical update be applied, and it's ultimately up to the repository owner to approve - generally these critical security fixes shouldn't happen often.

This would handle both Log4Shell and colors/left-pad issues. Additionally, a repository owner could force a mandatory package update without the author's consent, in case someone hides malicious code in their package and it becomes popular.

Of course the repository owner could go rogue, but I trust NPM/Maven/Cargo/OPAM maintainers much more than a random package developer.
It’s deliberate sabotage and shipped as a routine update. If he’d walked away or made a breaking change in a major release, nobody would expect more.

Similarly, if it was a service everyone understands that those require money to operate but there’s no analogous reason to tell people to upgrade to deliberately broken code.

Modularity in the age of antisocial Shell (part 1 of 3)
To be clear, you don't have to build a skyscraper, you could build a "5-over-1" (5 floors of apartments over ground floor retail) which would not be out of place at all in Davis. One of the earliest test cases for the law was just a guy who wanted to build an ADU without also building two parking spaces for it, back when that was legal for cities to require. https://twitter.com/CSElmendorf/status/1474286668936998914

It's just that you probably want the biggest building possible so the potential profit is worth the years of delay while inevitable legal challenges and possibly an EIR work their way through the courts and planning process.
If this is true, thank the lord. For a young person such as myself, this is going to produce a lot of benefits. For a while there I was kind of falling into a funk about never being able to afford a home, working hard being a waste of time, the system being completely rigged, etc. It seems that raising interest rates would help the bottom 99% at the expense of the 1% who hold all these inflated assets, so I'm really looking forward to it.
