> Are unvaccinated with no previous infection and unvaccinated with natural immunity split out into separate categories?

Yes it the latter can prove via PCR test at the time of infection. Anecdotes don’t count

> Are the vaccinated actually still fully vaxxed or are they MONTHS past when their protection is gone and they're still counted as vaccinated?

Yes, it is on the individual to stay on top of things according to their own risk calculus. Vaccines protect the individual. As a thrice vaxxed person I don’t really care if everyone around me is not vaxxed.

> Are post-vaccine deaths due to Myocarditis for example being counted as unvaccinated because they haven't reached the 14 day park post-vaccination?

One of the problems I’ve had with our covid death counts has been counting people who has covid and died as died due to covid. I would be a hypocrite if I said we needed to be that loose with vaccine deaths

I think you mean "tree" or "hierarchy"? A DAG would be a superset of tagging, and could place SQLAlchemy under both Python and Databases, as long as you consider the edges oriented (i.e. there's a parent-child relationship).

Doesn't solve the tag maintenance issue, though.

This is an underrated comment. Mindfulness is a precursor to objectifying your thoughts, emotions, sensations, and perceptions -- rather than "subjectifying" them (in other words, you are not your thoughts, emotions, etc). It doesn't at ALL mean laying down for others to kick you and taking it. They're completely different things.
Nope, I'm saying they are dishonest. Cherry picking data and using rhetorical tricks (or other tricks commonly used in social media) is dishonesty and acftually is a sign of a competent person- somebody who knows they can fool most people with a slick argument instead of a correct one.
"The current death rate of COVID in the US is about what a bad flu season would be."

Currently 2000 people a day are dying in the U.S. from COVID. That's an annualized rate of 730,000 deaths per year. The CDC estimates that the worst flu season in the last 10 years was 2017-2018 and that Flu caused 52,000 deaths.

That puts the current death rate of COVID at 14x where a bad flu season would be.

Perhaps it is his judgment that the level of attention COVID is getting is still not warranted, but one must start with the basic facts correct in order to make this judgment.

I don't get it, do you think someone wouldn't buy this?
I did. And it in no way disagrees with my above comment. _Persons_ who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than persons who were vaccinated alone.

This _does not mean_ that prior infection confers better protection.
The vaccine vs infection was not distributed randomly - inherent risk is a confounding factor. So an equally likely explanation for the conclusion (as opposed to your interpretation of causation) is that the people who are naturally better at fighting off covid (e.g. younger, fewer high-risk factors), are less likely to get the vaccine.

I disagree. Both SSNs and credit card numbers should be treated with equal consideration.

Establishing arbitrary classes of PII protection based upon perceived severity of compromise is a bad strategy. In the market we work in, you either get this 100% right or you don't get it right at all. There is no happy middle-ground when you are selling software to banks or other such organizations. No one is interested in "mostly" correct when it comes to PII they are responsible for protecting.

Your statements regarding the Electoral College here are horribly simplistic and ill-informed about the separation of powers and system of checks and balances. There were no functioning constitutional republics (the US was never intended to be a pure democracy) at the time the Constitution was written. The tyranny of mob (majority)rule was as much of a consideration as tyranny by a king. The Electoral College was intended to be a check on rule of the mob. This is also why every state gets 2 senators.

The founders intention was very much to prevent the kind of things that eventually happened during the French Revolution.
Turns out Google also hates 500, 174, 833, 285 and 302 (from generating files from -1000 to 1000).
The main guix monorepo may set that hard requirement the everything just be built from source, but if you want to run closed source software than your only two options are make a fake FHS or use patchelf. Both methods have pros and cons. Only patchelf makes the result work well with other closed source programs.

While from a philosophical point of view guix is pure, real world usage often needs closed source software.
AFAIK the copyright scan only happens on files shared from certain types of Drive accounts, the assumption presumably being that while Google doesn't know or care if you have rights to possess data, they can be reasonably sure you wouldn't be using Drive links as the means of distributing many well-known files (video, music, software, mostly) if you had rights to do so.

How far Artificial Stupidity runs into the weeds from that basically sound beginning appears to be "still farther."

FYI Drive also does scans (configurable on business accounts) for data such as likely accidental PII disclosures on shared data, and anti-malware checks on at least Windows and Mac executables, installers, and dmgs.

> Anything involving the electrical energy not inside wires has no water analogue (ie the electromagnetic waves inside a transformer)

You don't even need fancy things like transformers for energy not in the wires to be important. Even a simple DC circuit consisting of a battery in series with a light bulb mostly involves an electromagnetic field to transfer energy from the battery to the light bulb, which mostly takes place outside the wires.

The function of the wires when it comes to energy transfer is to carry moving charge which creates the magnetic part of the electromagnetic field that actually carries the transferred energy.

Here's a pretty good explanation [1]. That video was from January 2019, and not controversial.
Veritasium did a video on the topic in late 2021 that didn't really present things as well and ended up being quite controversial [2]. Other well-known YouTube channels such as EEVblog [3] and ElectroBOOM [4] responded.

There was also someone who bought a bunch of wire and did the experiment as described in the Veritasium video (although scaled down). That was discussed on HN and that discussion contains some very interesting links [5].

In particular the link to a talk by Rick Hartley in this subthread is very informative [6]. He talks about how most EMI problems in PCB designs are due to people not taking into account the the energy is not in the wires.

Bread clips are inferior to plain twist-ties, which are, in turn, inferior to the dual-wire "twist-ties" that can clamp down without twisting. I'm not sure what the proper name is for the last fastener as the lack of twisting makes the term twist-tie suspect.
Security at a lot of large SW companies is a farce - I remember working on a huge piece of software, that had millions of lines written by 1000s of people. Everyone knew it was swiss cheese that anyone with a clue could easily exploit.

The firm hired some crack cybersecurity consultant - who was probably in on the joke. The guy mulled over the software, and found some Rube-Goldbergesque CVE-worthy exploit involving timing attacks, privilege escalation and what not. It was an impressive find, and they probably tried to insinuate, that the software was this hard to exploit.

A week later, I was debugging some memory leak - it turned out the app was hanging on to some authentication state objects, which among other things contained the username and plain-text password of every login attempt. Now, the software also had a feature of writing memory dumps when it crashed - another thing that was not terribly difficult to achieve. So the attacker could just walk up to the public computer, click around a bit, make it crash, then copy off the resultant dump file, and see everyones credentials who ever tried to log in.

I was a junior guy back then. When I told my boss, he realised that this was so embarassing, that we just fixed it - no bug ticket, no formal announcement, no nothing. This software handled very sensitive data.
Our research company hosts 15 PB of data on what we call Single System Imaged FreeBSD with ZFS. All systems pull the complete OS from one managed rsync repo during production hours. Doing this for ten years, never ever any problems. Config files are included using the hostname to differentiate between servers. Adding servers doesn't add manual labor, it's the borg type of setup which handles it all.
This isn't some default thing on G-Suite; its the DLP setting which enterprises can elect to toggle on, if they pay for the most expensive G-Suite plan. It also, afaik, only applies to shared files.

It does not work, in such a myriad of ways that I'd be blown away if it wasn't just some summer intern's project three years ago and it hasn't been touched since. But it does check boxes for audits. And enterprises don't care about actual security, they just want to check boxes for audits.
Someone could even buy that screenshot for a record cover.

Yeah, that kind of glosses over all of the action taking over the past 2 years which heavily contributed to the current situation. But even if we ignore that they have a problem on their hands - the two main goals of the fed are currently at fundamental odds with each other. They have been injecting money to achieve maximum employment which is at fundamental odds with price stability. If they raise rates to stabilize prices (which they are definitely doing, potentially more than anticipated), that is going to affect employment. So it's going to be a tough balancing act. There is also no guarantee that raising rates will have the effect they desire. It could stagnate the entire economy.

There is a ton of uncertainty and that is really what is driving the craziness in the markets. Over 97% of my portfolio is in fiat and trust me this makes me very uneasy.

The fact that Bitcoin does not have levers is the appeal to a lot of people.

In my opinion, any OpenSource application should not be bashed for promoting in threads like these. What will you win? probably more work as more people try your software and raise issues (feature requests or bugs). The fact that it is Libre means that any "self promotion" will not have any monetary gain, so it is fine with me.

Aaaaanyways... SuperTag looks AMAZING. I will give it a try right now and see how it works for me. Thanks a lot for implementing it :)

This all already happened multiple times, but miners are so distributed across the globe that this has nearly no impact.

It’s also pretty hard for a country to spin up this much mining power, because it simply takes a lot of time to manufacture ASICs.

It’s also very expensive. $34B at the very least and rather $100B. https://gobitcoin.io/tools/cost-51-attack/

No country has this much free cash available for shenanigans like this, not even the US.

Just throwing in another point of anecdata onto this pile: "Often I know what columns I want, but I'm not clear what table I need to get them from" does not make sense to me. I don't relate at all to their being a global namespace of columns, rather than a namespace of tables, each with its own columns specific to its context.

CNC has been around for half a century. It's not remotely new, and its application has always been on the final productionalization of parts intended for assembly.

I think what it boils down to is that ME is quantified and constrained. If you have drawings for everything else, then you make a new drawing based on those old drawings. We use CAD to determine if something will fit or work; a plastic piece of junk shaped like the part won't tell us anything we didn't know. Likewise, to test the part we need to build it out of the final material, whereas 3d printing for the most part doesn't produce anything strong enough. It's still mostly a Makerspace toy used for plastic widgets.

ME is much less artistic/creative than people think. What I find that most people have in mind with "hands-on building" is more akin to craftsman, carpenter, welder, or mechanic, rather than any engineer. Mechanics is a branch of physics. You apply that to parts to build a machine that works. Everything is calculated, from bolt spacing to sheet metal thickness, balancing tradeoffs like weight/cost/strength and so on. Then you write a 50 page report with tables, graphs, all of your analysis. It should be airtight, or people could die.
Crap. I'm still working on the mobile version - sorry about that.
> I suggest you try it before dismissing it. It's changed the way I work, and has started changing the way others do, too.

Try what? I know (and mentioned) two distinct ways of looking at the assembly code produced by my C compiler. It doesn't matter to me how -S is implemented because even if it's "slow" I am physically unable to count nanoseconds.

I also know (and mentioned) that I know how to dump disassembly from HotSpot's memory. Yes, it's useful.

> Consider also that in those days, compilers did not run the linker. You compiled the code with one command, and linked with another.

Not sure what "those days" you mean. Running a single "cc" command and getting a single executable seems to have been well established by 1978: https://archive.org/details/TheCProgrammingLanguageFirstEdit...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalight says that Datalight was founded in 1983; I have no way of telling whether you had started developing your compiler well before that.

Covid-19 Cases and Hospitalizations by Vaccination Status and Previous Diagnosis
Title shortened from "COVID-19 Cases and Hospitalizations by COVID-19 Vaccination Status and Previous COVID-19 Diagnosis — California and New York, May–November 2021".

Context here is concerning conferred immunity from natural infection. From the abstract:

During May–November 2021, case and hospitalization rates were highest among persons who were unvaccinated without a previous diagnosis. Before Delta became the predominant variant in June, case rates were higher among persons who survived a previous infection than persons who were vaccinated alone. By early October, persons who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than persons who were vaccinated alone.

Implications:

[V]accination remains the safest strategy for averting future SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations, long-term sequelae, and death. Primary vaccination, additional doses, and booster doses are recommended for all eligible persons.

The results speak more to the likely epidemiological consequences of widespread exposures due to the Omicron variant than any changes to existing guidelines. Note that the study does not cover the period in which the Omicron variant was pervasive, instead focusing on Delta and earlier variants of the SARS-COV-2 virus.

That said, if the findings hold, where Omicron has been widespread most people will end up with exposure and probable improved immune response. It is still advisable to get vaccinated and boosted, but there's some increased hope that the worst of the COVID-19 global pandemic may finally be passing, if not now then in the near future, after the wave has passed in more parts of the world.

Continued mutations and variants of the SARS-COV-2 virus remain a concern, and so long as the virus is extant in human and animal populations, such mutations are all but inevitable. Their implications are exceedingly difficult to predict.
