So why not un-socialize the medical system. Charge a premium for unvaccinated individuals. If I follow this train correctly the process is to declare health a right and therefore something run by the government, and then to declare that because of that right your other rights can be taken away by the government.

>Isn't this just proof-of-stake with more steps?

It's related, yes. The main difference is that rather than your power being determined by how much bitcoins you hold, your power is determined by how much influence/power/contribution you have in the overall bitcoin ecososytem. A major merchant might not hold that many coins compared to the average whale, but probably holds more influence.

>so they require even more trust.

I wouldn't say it requires more trust. It's not like bitcoin holds an election every few years for determining which party holds the economic majority.
Sleep is important, but this article is kinda useless in itself. First, yes, sure, of course sleep matters.

But also it's measuring association, not causation. It's easy to think of reasons it works in reverse: of course people with good grades sleep better, they don't worry about having poor grades.

And it's even saying that " Sleep measures accounted for nearly 25% of the variance in academic performance". That's causation language, and I don't think they determined that.
This is honestly a huge deal - when I make an angel investment, I send a text and/or wire info via the Merrill Lynch app, and I know it will be taken care of (by the same people every time) same day or next day, depending on when I send it.

That plus introductions and referrals to tax accountants, estate attorneys, etc., and access to investment vehicles I otherwise wouldn’t get (easily), definitely makes the 0.7% fee worth it for me.

[quick edit] Honestly, as someone who comes from an impoverished background, they also act largely as “financial therapists.” That is, I don’t make emotional decisions about money, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have tons of anxiety when I spend money on something large; they generate a wealth plan, allow me to see how my assets will change, allow me to (based on models) see if I’m overfunded, underfunded, etc., and I don’t have to do a thing other than send a text. That is insanely helpful to me, personally.

Have you even considered that this is what many people who have not taken the vaccine are waiting for? They are going to go get the vaccine when this deadly strains comes out.

It is no secret MRNA vaccines do not last. It was known before COVID and no miraculous break through occurred that fixed this this issue they have. Previous MRNA vaccines applicants also showed you cannot just keep reinjecting yourself every x months. It causes a whole host of problem including weakening your immune system (EU recently rewarned about this for the Covid one).

So its seems the people not vaccinated will have an option to actually get protected, not so much for those that have taken it already though.
We could also tell you that VOO gives you the returns of SPY with 1/3 the fees, or that VT gives you much better diversification.
eh. Client certs are better in theory. Client certs have lots of complexity that's not necessarily easily solved. If you control both ends, then most of the complexity is easily solved, but if you don't, then client certs get much harder.

FIDO2 is arguably a much better way to deal with this provable identity problem. The UI for FIDO2 has been worked out and is good enough, etc. The big problem is, it requires handing people Yubikeys(or similar devices).

Firing (due poor economics) is usually the result of bad management. A healthy company won’t have any need to fire an IC or manager, at least not because of economical reasons. I‘ve been in extremely stable companies (+500 employees) where no one has been fired for decades. People usually just quit when they don’t see career advancement or better opportunities. No need for an Up-or-out or bottom-10% strategy you sometimes see in big consultancies to have a healthy workforce.
Not disagreeing with this (although my understanding is that there have been studies that show vaccination has been more effective), but how would you seperate the unvaccinated / previously-infected-and-recovered cohorts?

Even by reconciling PCR testing data (which I imagine is incredibly patchy at best), you still would only know historically how many people tested positive (ignoring what is in all likelihood a majority of the cases that never got tested) and be able to reconcile it against numbers of vaccinated, which tells you nothing useful without being able to intersect the two sets (which you can’t do without uniquely identifying every PCR test and matching it to an individual universally).

i.e. the better data you would need doesn’t exist.

It is time to give a shout out to my favorite note taking app: Trilium https://github.com/zadam/trilium

Pros:

1. Data is saved in SQlite. I am at 33k notes and it springs open instantaneously.
2. Notes can be arranged into arbitrarily deep tree. Single note can be placed into multiple places in the tree. (Think soft-links)
3. WYSIWYG support (CKEditor)
4. Tags, advanced scripting features
5. Other ususal wiki stuff like backlinks, note-map etc

Cons:

1. Electron.
2. Data is saved in SQlite, not plain text.

I don't know about Linux, but how about a (really early) BSD? https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/01/27/mini-replica-of-dec-...

Granted, that's going through SimH; it would be interesting to see if retrobsd or litebsd could be ported to run on ESP32 natively.
It's silly. But I want these features in my offline personal wiki:

- sortable table like wikipedia's

- sortable list and other list manipulation tools from dynalist/worflowy's

- automatically adding titles when you copy links of articles/videos/etc.

I'd like to think I'm not the only one who mostly uses lists and tables to organize information and notes. Quick googling says org-mode can do the first 2. I tried spacemacs and it was just confusing. One day.
On the plus side, we'll get the best view of HD84406 that we've ever seen.

I ran 80x25 fine under the zipit z2 but had to place it near your face as if it was a Game Boy.

But the Z2 Nethack build was patched to support a ~64x16 res (68x20 I think), so that worked well among some forth interpreter and well, gopher clients and IRC.

The custom Slashem I built didn't have that patch, (and the patch was doable for sure), but I was lazy and just ran setfont.

Z machine games were perfectly playable on 64x16.

Oh ofc this is not "practical", but projects like these are always fun to see, how much something can be scaled down, that it can be in some cases be viable (think washing machines) to be a full linux-powered computer.
Is this really that amazing? It seems like Tesla just put some high end HEPA filters in their car. I assume any manufacturer could do that without much trouble?

Edit: I'm a huge HEPA fan and have 3 of the 99.99% filters running in my house right now in addition to a really nice filter for the central AC. So this is nice and would be good for combatting smog.
I would personally agree (though you will find people who won't), but I found it to be an interesting comparison just to get an idea of the scale.

They were not "big on MVP"

Their engineers from the start delivered a very solid vehicle tested, and re-tested probably more than NASAs own rockets.

All improvements they had since were enhancements over the original masterplan, nothing like "throw it on the wall, and see if it sticks"

Antivaxxers rail against all vaccines. Your "less than five years testing" straw man is problematic when they have issues with polio and smallpox vaccines, MMR, etc., some of which have been around nearly half a century.

Being honest, NO amount of testing would be an acceptable amount/duration for a significant portion of that group.
Fuel prices are high. Housing is high. Food is high. Car prices are high. Education expenses are high. Healthcare expenses are high. Literally everything we spend most of our money on is outrageously expensive.
I feel that you need to include the people for masks and those against it. Unlike vaccines, masks do not lose efficacy over time or due to new variants. Both anti-vax and pro-vaccine supporters can fall into the anti-mask category. I don’t understand why people in the West are so anti-mask. It's been two years since I've gotten sick with anything.

1. Covid-recovered and Vaccinated + pro-mask

2. Covid-recovered and Partly-vaccinated + pro-mask

3. Covid-recovered + pro-mask

4. Vaccinated + pro-mask

5. Partly-vaccinated (< 14 days after 2nd shot) + pro-mask

6. Covid-recovered and Vaccinated + anti-mask

7. Covid-recovered and Partly-vaccinated + anti-mask

8. Covid-recovered + anti-mask

9. Vaccinated + anti-mask

10. Partly-vaccinated (< 14 days after 2nd shot) + anti-mask

11. Covid-naive + Unvaccinated + anti-mask
The vaccines are hardly experimental at this point — Pfizer has full approval and all of them have far more data than usual showing high safety and efficacy — and very few employees chose to leave. You don't get the kind of overload hospitals are reporting from 1% of your workforce choosing not to follow safety guidelines.

> Hospitals are also incentivized to inflate the issue of shortages to get more funding.

That's a conspiracy theory which has no supporting evidence — which is highly unlikely given how many thousands of people would have to be keeping it perfectly secret — and it doesn't fit with how the American medical system works. Hospitals have been reporting significant financial stress because they make most of their money from the elective procedures and other higher-profit treatments which are being canceled due to COVID-19 overload.
The PM announced a total opening on February 1st in Denmark.

There might be mandated face masks for guests at hospitals and elder care in addition to proof of vaccination or negative tests. At these places only.

All other restrictions are being lifted.

> Because the client and server now share a code base.

This isn't true. Types aren't "a code base", they're an interface - without which it is impossible for a client and server to talk with each other anyway.

> The client requires the server to run.

Not relevant. Nothing about a typed interface prevents the client from running without having a running server - it won't be very useful without something to exchange data with, but you can still run it, unless you've coded otherwise.

> But if either the client or the server wants to coerce temperature to a different type they are free to do so.

No, type coercions are bad engineering. They're brittle and only work in a very tiny number of situations - nothing approaching the general case.

> As long as the conform to the interchange format the internal representation of the data is irrelevant to third-parties. Type coercions at the interface level are a hack that is not acceptable for anything beyond hobbyist work.

An interchange format is a set of types. Types are not internal representation - they're a mathematical concept used in type-checking. Types happen to be used in the process of generating an internal representation of data, but that's not what they are. You're falsely equating the two, and your point is invalid without that equivalence.

> In a world where types are shared, updates to the server necessitate updates to the client even if the client doesn't want to change (and vice-versa).

This is false. If the server is changed, the client only needs to change if the interface between the two also changes. If the server makes a change to its internal data storage format, then that has nothing to do with the client, and so the interface stays the same, and so the shared type declarations/schema stay the same.

If the interface changes, then you already have to update both client and server, so the tiny overhead of maintaining an explicit type schema dwarfed by the amount of effort you spent changing the rest of the code anyway, and more than made up for by the compile-time detection of warnings when you change the interface code for the server, compile, and then get an error that the client no longer compiles.

> The coupling should receive the credit not the type system.

A type system will detect type errors at compile-time. A tightly-coupled system with type coercion and no types will detect errors at run-time, if at all. It's obviously better to detect errors at compile-time. Therefore, even if coupling is correlated with the usefulness of a type system, type systems are still obviously beneficial to include.

Regardless, it doesn't make any sense to talk about "credit" in this case. I think that you misunderstand the purpose (and utility) of type systems, but I'm not sure what to suggest to you so that you can understand.

It rotates and has no direction, so you can untwist your headphone wire without unplugging it, and plugging it in is foolproof.
Ethically I think it’s the people who cannot get vaccinated through no choice of their own that need to guide policy. If we can protect these people, and there was a fair amount of hospital capacity, I’d be all in on letting the anti-vaxxers just get it. I live in a country with health care. So I’d even be in favour of charging the anti-vaxxers the cost of care. Give the nurses the extra money.
I don't see how we could ask that of either people or publications - the data simply doesn't exist. Only a tiny fraction of Covid cases get genetically sequenced.
Yea, piloting is fun, but a long, loooong grind. It takes a while just to start making peanuts flying regional jets. By the time you are in the big bucks range, you could have done a bachelor’s in biology, med school, your residency and become a doctor.

"whether you're logging in from a new device or not (via cookies and/or fingerprinting)" Every login is a new 'device' because I don't have Google tracking me across the web. Fingerprinting, sure it can see I'm a firefox on linux with the usual browser features and fonts. All is as it usually is, nothing suspicious in this category.

"whether your other devices have moved to the new country" I don't have any device pinging the mothership about my every movement so that can't be taken into account.

"I wouldn't be surprised if it scanned your email" lol and I definitely don't have email from google, so that's also not a factor.

Until the CDC changed the definition of vaccine in Sept 2021, most vaccines were understood to provide sterilizing immunity against infection, not only "protection" against illness/death.

Intramuscular/serum vaccines cannot stop respiratory infections, by definition. They are non-sterilizing. Only a nasal/mucosal vaccine or nasal infection can provide sterilizing immunity against a respiratory virus.

Less drastically, a lot of places are putting heavy restrictions on smoking, and there are heavy taxes on tobacco and alcohol (arguably those taxes contribute to paying for tobacco and alcohol related health problems.)
Political discussions on HN have always been very low quality, but anything about COVID or vaccines is also a $#!+ show lately. Way too many anti-vax commenters.
You are not highlighting it enough:

-- you are vaccinated;

-- we could assume you received papers at the vaccination;

-- said vaccination certificates are insufficient and you seem to require a different, related, complex document, which basically states the same of your vaccination certificate.

Though one understands the use of certificates as passes could boost practice for falsification of simpler certificates, the practice as described still seems absurd.

There's a recent (January 19, 2022) CDC publications with numbers on exactly that. Forbes provides a brief overview: "CDC: Prior Covid Infection Offered More Protection Against Delta Than Vaccines — But Both Together Did Best"

Are those more likely to be a) a side effect/risk of the vaccine, or b) a known result of the disease, which is present in people who have had COVID, even unvaccinated?

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply, but it certainly seems like you're saying it's newsworthy due to the vaccine.

Personally I hate when editors try and make my markdown look like anything but plain text. Syntax highlighting is fine, but I don't want you to make my font bigger when I type # and I don't want my text to be italicized when I type an asterisk, etc. Plain text has a purity and simplicity to it, and if I wanted those features I would probably just use MS Word or Pages or something.

I don't personally find the preview to be distracting, and I like seeing the rendered product with a distinct separation from the code that generates it.

At this point, given that the quantity and quality of the public data of vaccine rollouts dwarfs the data of vaccine trials in both scope and usefulness, anyone still grousing about vaccine trial data is just playing political football, for the sake of FUD.

It's like arguing about the raw data of the Wright brothers flight, when millions of people are flying around the world on 747s. Was it relevant in the past? Yes. Is it relevant today? No.

You want to know about vaccine safety? Look at excess mortality, hospital admissions, and long-term health problems of the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, today. Ten billion COVID vaccines have been administered around the world in the past year. Any of the data we've gathered from that is about a thousand times more relevant to literally anything we could be doing, than raw study data on a few thousand people.

Would also be interested in this topic. I’ve been a dev for some years now but I have always wanted to lean more into the scientific/research side of things and no idea what that path looks like or how to get there. Ultimately I’d like to end up at a lab of some sort or in a “hybrid” area like space.

So far the only ideas I’ve come across are the standard “do some related project for resume purposes and then apply to anywhere/everywhere until it works” or “go back to school for a 2nd/more relevant degree and try again”

Neither of which is particularly practical for me, but perhaps this is the way.
Have you payed for building the roads you drive or walk on to work? The pipes that deliver your water? The fire services? Do you imagine you pay the full cost of the food you are eating?
