Sure, here's some research: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

As of last week, a total of 727 children 0-17 have died from Covid since the pandemic started, and that's including the children with comorbidities.

And some more: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-...

There is a real risk of myocarditis for children after receiving the vaccine. Many cases of this require a hospital visit.

There is a cost/benefit analysis on the vaccine for children that looks very different than the cost/benefit to adults. Where there is a risk, there should be a choice.

Regarding the effects of "long covid", it seems to be pure speculation. The data is changing on this all the time, and not enough time has passed since the beginning of the pandemic to really nail down long-term effects of infection.
It's quite common to do this. Most op-eds I read fall into the category of "author believes, uses rhetoric to cover up weak argument, to convince normies".

I don't believe for one second that clickfunnels would have done this on purpose. Not that I know them personally, just that it would be a huge backfire if they had. My money's on clickfunnels being a cloudflare client that just happens to be the recipient of some description of forwarder misconfiguration.

Still, not a good look, is it?
Bitcoin has died 442 times. Do they understand that USD 80M is peanuts? even for such a small country? Even in the small countries, 80M is not a significant amount, is more like a normal sized bribe for a state funded project. I would say that the entire ElSalvador move to bitcoin had the purpose to move the price up or down.
Group by seems good enough and not changing terms where there isn’t good reason seems like a good goal. Is PRQL’s split the same as SQL’s group by?

As a software developer, I think the best thing about the cloud is knowing that if you need the capacity, and it makes sense cost-wise, you'll get it. In-house servers might be cheap, but in my experience it could be incredibly hard to get that money spent when it's needed, and I've seen companies throw expensive software engineering time at optimizing software when it would have been much cheaper to solve the problem with hardware.

Not only can you end up spending $10k of engineering time to optimize and test a random, non-core-competency bit of code instead of an extra $1k/year on hardware, you also have to maintain the optimized code instead of the simpler code.

Maybe I just worked at companies that did a poor job of managing servers, or had a dysfunctional relationship between software engineering and operations, but at least that's no longer something I have to worry about in a cloud environment. If spending a little extra on hardware is the best solution to the problem, process/planning/politics won't get in the way.

My take: There might not be a clearly defined endgame. The point is the tension itself. By keeping us guessing and talking, Russia maintains a flexible position while keeping everyone mystified. It almost doesn’t even matter if they attack, as long as we’re thinking and talking about it.

If you’re thinking of a more long-term end-game for Russia, I would recommend reading about the Primakov Doctrine.
Cool. However, contributions via PRs are a bit more complicated than it needs to be.
I don't consider folders spatial. At all. The only hard relation is hierarchical, and in a folder, there's no inherent order or spatial relationship. I find it a pain to navigate.

Actual spatial arrangement of data (and code) is something I've wanted to try for a long time now though. It's incredibly how you can take a map that shows the entire planet, and in a few seconds zoom in to the building you're in. And in a few more seconds, zoom in to the the house you lived in when as a child in a different town. I'd like to try build a similar map of personal data and code.
For folks who say "Covid doesn't kill that many kids", it kills more than several diseases we've vaccinated kids against for years: https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1480679054541996033. We require those vaccinations for school attendence and have for years.

We vaccinate kids against chickenpox too (though we didn't when I was a kid). I remember my 1st grade class singing happy birthday to me over the phone. I was home sick, missed a week of school. I didn't die, I didn't go to the hospital.

Fast forward: I got my kids chicken-pox vaccines.

Edit: it looks like chicken pox might've posed similar risk to kids as Covid, maybe up to 2x more? Not 100% sure of that, and I have a weak belief that Omicron is more dangerous to kids. I don't think that affects my overall point, but better to be clear and not overstate things.

Second edit: Varicella in the original tweet is Chickenpox, which would indicate less danger to kids. Not sure why the numbers are different.
They did, but I'm not sure it's referencing this incident. Doing a cursory look back through their Twitter timeline, the account seems to tweet twice every business day.
To be fair Ukrainian government blocked/stopped from distribution most pro Russian media (both TV and newspapers) and jailed/drove to exile pro Russian politicians so whether actual election outcome represents preferences of the public is not clear before we even consider election fraud.

0% people voted for Taliban in Afghanistan (as no Taliban politician was allowed to participate in elections) yet they clearly enjoyed support of majority of population.
> What I am having trouble understanding is how the cardiologist quite reached the point that it made sense to report this as a potential adverse event when it's more likely explained by base rate fallacy.

Could you cite literature about the base rate to which you are referring? I have not encountered it. Most of what I see describes cases in which people don't have risk factors and have a heart attack, after which they discover significant heart disease (of which I have virtually none). Please pass it along, as I would like to learn more about cases like mine.

Regarding reporting, quoting https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html:

"Healthcare providers are strongly encouraged to report to VAERS:
- Any adverse event that occurs after the administration of a vaccine licensed in the United States, whether it is or is not clear that a vaccine caused the adverse event.
- ..."

"Healthcare providers who administer COVID-19 vaccines are required by law to report the following to VAERS:
- A life-threatening AE
- Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
- A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions
- ..."

I think my case meets these standards easily.

Again, I'm not terribly surprised by any of this (except the skepticism leveled at my distinguished cardiologist). I just wanted to share an anecdote about my personal experience with vaccination and reporting to give some color to the discussion.

This applied to the 'Solid south', but there was plenty of Democrat representation in the more contested states, specifically the Midwest. By contrast, the Northeastern U.S., not generally regarded as "benefiting" from the Electoral College system, were a stronghold of elite, urban, Progressive-leaning Republicans.

But historically NATO has been a pretty good deterrent against war. Should we stop that?

As for the troops from various NATO rotating through eastern NATO countries: I really hope nothing bad happens, and they experience some new culture.
> No one promised that NATO will not expand, and it is not documented

Gorbachev, whose ambiguous statement about a feeling of betrayal when NATO did expand in the east beyond the reunited Germany is the source of the myth of the promise, later explicitly stated that no promise was made and the issue was never even brought up.

(And it's not as if the USSR and the USA didn’t understand the use of memorializing important agreements in writing to prevent later disputes about their scope and content.)

I think, it implies that following an ideal (light) is futile, only seeing what is (darkness) works.

The most popular religion in the world is based on fall from grace, original sin that we must attone for to become pure again. Alternative is that there is no going back and no perfect world or state of mind ahead, only the reality, which is sometimes dirty and messy and for many of us hard to see clearly.
I think the HN consensus is that self-promotion in the comments is OK as long as the conflict of interest is disclosed ("Im the developer") and the comment is relevant to the conversation (no spam), which were both satisfied in this case.

We kept linear measurements the same (feet, yard, miles). So it's a bit of a stretch to say we're not imperial. I'd say it's "US imperial".
"Herd immunity only applies if the vaccine ... prevents infection".

There is no vaccine that prevents some kind of infection with 100% accuracy across all population.

>Weird how the West progressed but many cultures hadn't even invented the wheel by the time of colonialism.

It's hard not to economically progress when one robs and sabotages all the largest economies in the world. Using deception and fraud in a time where honorable men were revered is an edge, I agree.

You are pointing out rituals in the rest of the world but those were occassional ceremonies. In Europe, eating humans was "just lunch" or "just a meat pie", not a once in a year religious event. Same for European human blood drinking, which was very popular as medicine and a thirst quencher for more than 1000 years.

>basically non existent in western culture after the 15th century

Wrong, European medicine was primitive at best until the mid 19th century, colonisation is how Europeans gathered most of the valid medical knowledge from the world (indegenous herb and plant medicine knoweledge plays an outsized role in what we consider modern pharma).

Europeans also ate most of the mummies in existence.

Are you claiming Europeans ate all of the mummies they did eat before the 15th century? Before the major European excavations in Egypt occurred? Nonsense, the trade started much later and continued well into the 1900s. This is historical fact.

---

"Mummy was still sold as medicine in a German medical catalog at the beginning of the 20th century. And in 1908, a last known attempt was made in Germany to swallow blood at the scaffold.

"Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires: The History of Corpse Medicine from the Renaissance to the Victorians, reveal that for several hundred years, peaking in the 16th and 17th centuries, many Europeans, including royalty, priests and scientists, routinely ingested remedies containing human bones, blood and fat as medicine for everything from headaches to epilepsy"

“...the poor, who couldn’t always afford the processed compounds sold in apothecaries, could gain the benefits of cannibal medicine by standing by at executions, paying a small amount for a cup of the still-warm blood of the condemned.The executioner was considered a big healer in Germanic countries,” says Sugg. “He was a social leper with almost magical powers.” For those who preferred their blood cooked, a 1679 recipe from a Franciscan apothecary describes how to make it into marmalade."

This is interesting... Is there some distributed caching server one could use for this, for increased uptime? Basically some CDN.
Hawkins way of thinking really maps well for me also. It seems like that more parameters helps until it doesn't, then you need to encapsulate those networks and pin them to some reference frame, they create hierarchies of these networks and a system to generalize and compress those hierarchies (aka patterns), rinse and repeat.

My brother just became a grandpa and I was watching his grandson navigate the world this past weekend. It's unbelievable how quickly the brain can extrapolate a new relationship between objects/actions/etc and then apply it elsewhere. Minimally you see it in the drinking action applied to all sorts of things, this sort of repetitive clenching/releasing of the fingers to find things to grip without looking, etc etc. Watching mom use a fork and very quickly understand how to grasp and manipulate it. The model of just training everything from exogenous data into a flat network seems like it will hit some asymptotic limit.

It protects the teachers unable to get the vaccine, or those who have the vaccine but are still vulnerable.

I personally know a J&J vaccine recipient (but no booster) who is currently intubated. I know someone else who had Guillain-Barré from Covid (who had been vaccinated) and can no longer get vaccines.

These aren't hypotheticals...
EdgeQL is getting support for generic partitioning/aggregating `GROUP` very soon [1], so we are giving some love to the analytical side of things too :-)

From the paper Deep Blue by Murray Campbell et al (people who worked on Deep Blue)
"The initialization of the feature values is done by the “evaluation function generator”, a
sub-program which was run on the master node of SP system." Which would suggest it generated the heuristic itself. The features may have been hardcoded, but assigning values to them wasn't.
In addition to this, feature values could be static or dynamic, meaning it would update dynamic ones depending on the board state. It not only generated the heuristic values (feature values) it could modify them to reflect their relative change in impact throughout the game.

Browser based games were another wild west.

The basic move was to post something mildly controversial in your "profile page" -- which often used the MySpace style of "whatever HTML you want" -- along with a cookie logger. Then be obnoxius in chat/forums. Pretty soon, an admin would visit your profile to check out the offending content and ban your account. In the process, they would give you their admin cookie.

I was a dev/admin for a few of these browser-based games and would also poke at other people's games, so I was saw both sides of the arms race.

That wild west still exists in browser based games, which were labors of love with large enough user bases to keep the steam going but not commercially viable enough to justify any sort of actual investment.

There are still a half dozen or so browser based games running on huge piles of PHP written by middle schoolers and high schoolers in the mid to late 2000s. Many still have XSS and SQL injections lurking in forgotten little corner features.
Yes, the ship has sailed for gun control in the U.S., and there's not enough support for it anyways, and there's a lot of Democrats who love their guns who won't vote for it, and a lot of Republicans who don't like guns but won't vote Democrat over it.

The angelic-looking psychopath kids are a problem gun control wouldn't solve. That can't be solved with gun control. As a child I too ran into these types, and they had other weapons. Knives, screwdrivers, rocks, slingshots -- you name it, they had it. Parents need to teach children manners and empathy, but people who have to work multiple jobs and have no time to parent their children... won't.

Enforcing existing laws would be a great pace to start. But we've basically decided as a society to minimize police contacts, so that's going to be difficult. Basically, as you surmise, there isn't much that can be done now.
That kind of argument is disingenuous flamebait and ought to be flagged.

By the same logic, are car seats and seat belts injected into the body?
At the scale at which Google operates, even if they fixed it within a minute it probably takes some time to test and roll these things out.

Yes, and both of those make sense. Tetanus is incredibly common and kills many babies, even today:

https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s...

Hep B infection during childhood leads to chronic hepatitis in 95% of cases:

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/hepatitis-b

> Hepatitis B infection acquired in adulthood leads to chronic hepatitis in less than 5% of cases, whereas infection in infancy and early childhood leads to chronic hepatitis in about 95% of cases. This is the basis for strengthening and prioritizing infant and childhood vaccination.

In both cases, children are being vaccinated for their own direct benefit, not some vague, external benefit to others.

(Also, it's worth pointing out that we mandate these vaccinates for school-age children because that's the first time such a mandate can be enforced. Babies are supposed to be vaccinated for both within the first six months of life: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolesc...)

> sword that Russia has dangling over a part of continental Europe

Ah, those mean Russians, force-feeding the poor Europe their poisonous gas. Reminder: the Western European countries voluntarily entered into this relationship and have been buying the gas for many decades. They are absolutely free to buy their energy from anywhere else in the world. Case in point, that's how France currently gets 25% of their natgas and they have been happily living with this "dangling sword" for 45 years, why would they do that?
Yes, I've had much practice in focus meditation and can attest to this. Sitting in one spot and earnestly focusing on an object of meditation for 15-30 minutes is harder than it sounds.

As powerful as that is (and backed by science), still I wonder about an alternative meditation that focuses on fullness or activity of thought.

But I subscribe to a materialist metaphysics that assumes the mind cannot truly be escaped and the benefit of meditation is to strengthen the mind and body.

I also missed the specific solution the first time, but see figure 10 on page 6 (in section 3.1, the pages aren't numbered). It's doing a variant of what I described, in this case they're doing this (copied the document, pseudocode):

function vtable_allocate(self, size) =
let object = allocateMemory(PointerSize + size)
object := object + PointerSize
object[-1] := self
return object

This will guarantee that the memory is contiguous and properly allocated to the process so it's not using garbage data.

This is an important point I hadn't really considered. It's bad enough having vaccine mandates (I mean having to show proof of vaccine) targeting people going bars or wherever (I'm in Quebec, Canada and apparently now you have to show you're vaccinated to shop at the state run liquor store, that's literally just spite), but bringing kids into the fight is really inappropriate, both on the vaccine side and all the other theatre going on in schools right now. I hope we look back on this with shame and to the extent possible can hold those who have actively gotten us here accountable
To be fair Poland was first to start dividing Europe when it got piece of Czechoslovakia in 1938. Splitting Poland with Germany was done only after western powers refused all attempts by USSR to rein in Germany as wet dream in London at time was Berlin fighting Moscow and destroying communism.
