The spike protein in the vaccine is not fully inert: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8084611

> The free-floating Spike proteins synthetized by cells targeted by vaccine and destroyed by the immune response circulate in the blood and systematically interact with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors expressed by a variety of cells including platelets, thereby promoting ACE2 internalization and degradation. These reactions may ultimately lead to platelet aggregation, thrombosis and inflammation mediated by several mechanisms including platelet ACE2 receptors. Whereas Phase III vaccine trials generally excluded participants with previous immunization, vaccination of huge populations in the real life will inevitably include individuals with preexisting immunity. This might lead to excessively enhanced inflammatory and thrombotic reactions in occasional subjects. Further research is urgently needed in this area.
Been there done that. That gave us two years and cost a year of developer time.
+1 for ZFS. It's quite easy to shuffle around, but there are some compatibility concerns between different versions.
Adding to this, I'm not sure I had COVID, but 1) I had cardiac troubles before the pandemic, 2) did many months of bike to gain back some average cardiovascular health 3) I got vaccinated in Jan, and now my heart is doing different things (less fatigue but more and larger skipped beats). It's hard to know what's causing what now. I assume a lot of people are in the same case.
I would guess a lot of people would bet such market segment exists, but are unable to find a manufacturer/seller. Since higher price often doesnt mean higher quality, its hard to distinguish expensive tools that will last decades from similarly priced tools that wont last as much.
> Why do we need to fly 3 months to some inhospitable planet that is in worse condition than Earth would be (even after nuclear wars and global warming) to make progress?

In the late 1500s, why set sail across an ocean for weeks that no-one has ever successfully crossed (that we know of).

Someone would want to do it, and then want to do it regularly, and regularly means commercializing it, which means reduced cost and innovation. Better ships crossed the Atlantic, trade started and so on. Europe (and the world) is richer after the "discovery" of America and Australia, for example.

There are so many 'unknown unknowns' that until we settle on Mars we just... don't know: some mineral on Mars that might be useful for... capturing CO2 somehow? Lower gravity to grow novel crystalline structures that do... something. Basic life? Who knows?

I started and the paused a project of visually mapping every corruption case in my country, from small to big, from local to national. The premise is that people tend to forget corruption cases that drag over long period of time and generally can't judge the state of corruption.
Therefor the idea is to put all the corruption cases and their details on a map, with ability to search by party, money involved, companies involved, state of judiciary process and so on.

> Data please? Have you been living under a rock?

I’d say the same to you, if you didn’t see reports of heart problems before the vaccine were you living under a rock? Either you weren’t reading much or your filter bubble was removing that news, perhaps because the media you were reading was trying to minimise its impact at the time. It was very widely covered where I am. There was even a widely watched documentary in the UK of a well known science/health presenter who had heart problems after a Covid infection in early 2020. You can probably look it, it was called “Surviving the Virus: My Brother & Me“
I banned the use of Expedia in our company because they were almost never able to produce a decent invoice (in the name of the company, listing the name of the employee who had the room). Expedia said the hotel has to provide the invoice. The hotel said Expedia has to provide the invoice because we had contract with Expedia.

Never such a problem with booking, because with booking the contract always has been directly with the hotel.
Exactly. This is most likely the cause.
Show me the agreement.
> I think the cost argument is really an irrelevance

How could this possibly be true? Cost is always relevant. Why would one want to solve a problem in an unnecessarily expensive way?

There is excellent reason to think nuclear is more costly. Just look at what most of the people with money are actually doing. For example, look at Exelon:

> “The cost of new nuclear is prohibitive for us to be investing in,” says Crane. Exelon considered building two new reactors in Texas in 2005, he says, when gas prices were $8/MMBtu and were projected to rise to $13/MMBtu. At that price, the project would have been viable with a CO2 tax of $25 per ton. “We’re sitting here trading 2019 gas at $2.90 per MMBtu,” he says; for new nuclear power to be competitive at that price, a CO2 tax “would be $300–$400.” Exelon currently is placing its bets instead on advances in energy storage and carbon sequestration technologies.
I had COVID and even exercised with it. I noticed a higher level of muscle soreness, and in fact that and anosmia tipped us off to what was happening. This was one of the early variants where flu like symptoms were rare.

In my N=1, any one of the myriad other common colds that I've had caused similar symptoms. The degree of muscle soreness was strange. Along with another person in my bubble who also got infected, we both measured increases in red blood cell count outside of the normal range several months after. It wasn't clear if this was due to COVID-19 or being athletes. I didn't have a baseline unfortunately.

I had a dramatically different experience with a flu that I got in December 2019. My resting HR was up by 10bpm for a month after. My exercise regime was broken, and it took almost two months to fully recover.

I truly hope that COVID-19 is just a window into these infection disease processes that are going on all the time, damaging our bodies without giving us clear feedback. This massive pulse of naive infection is a unique opportunity to understand this. I fear that we will not be able to generalize these lessons. And I understand why. COVID is very weird...
Technically, every structure encapsulating space makes that space "underground" - the distinction between natural rocks or poured concrete as a ceiling is negligible when it comes to radiation protection. Whenever we set up a sunshade, we are protecting ourselves from harmful radiation.

Putting more material between you and radiation by burying into the ground is a good idea, especially when your concrete-pouring capabilities are limited.
A name is not a requirement to render medical service, so I don't see how that example is relevant. A practioner is capable of treating patients without knowing their name. Laws may compel them to keep track of that data, but it's not strictly necessary.

And the act of connecting to a server hosted in another jurisdiction (e.g. America) would require sharing your IP. This could be directly (the entire web service hosted in the USA), or indirectly (some of the web service's assets are hosted in the USA).

If you put a CDN in-front of your web service, then that CDN will most likely be sharing your IP with the host server too. Especially if the web service wants to do something non-cacheable that they can't offer from behind the CDN.
My experience at posting content at HN is somewhat hit-and-miss: sometimes stuff I post get no votes, only for the same content (posted by another person) to be upvoted and hit the front page. Ah well. :-)

Maybe it's related to the timezone I'm in (Singapore: UTC+8). When I post, most of the western hemisphere HN population is still asleep.

Side none: one time, I did get an email politely requesting that the upvotes for an item I posted be re-assigned to somebody (who posted the same content) with much lower karma. I was okay with that.

> network egress cost (which is OPEX) ... (migrations are CAPEX). Make up your mind before you try again.

You're the one pushing the agenda here that migration cost off of AWS is a "known" network cost, and thus OPEX, and thus missing the point. I don't care how you pencil down the money; the point is that migration costs are often NOT a "known ongoing network cost" at the beginning of service, and have been artificially inflated.

I should've seen the signals before venturing this far down this thread, trying to engage with you, but this drives the nail in the coffin. I no longer believe you're engaging in honest discourse; or worse, that you don't actually understand the business terms you're talking about.

From your other comments, you appear like you're an AWS apologist; or at the very least, that your business depends on people using AWS. I have a strong feeling I should have listened to Upton Sinclair's advice about getting someone to understand something, but it's not too late for me yet.

> 20 years of insane coupling and complexity makes it pretty difficult to move away from that architecture which is where most companies seem to end up with from experience.

Pretty much. I don't want to generalise for legacy context however.

> I say we should design with distribution in mind but deploy without it.

Oh yes, absolutely. You can pretty reasonably predict when your compute needs will scale up such that you genuinely need to make the shift, and plan for it with a modular architecture.

> Assuming you can scale up forever is an expensive and stupid mistake.

See here's the thing. I think it has been, in the past.

I'm definitely sure that there will be applications in the future which will scale past single leader, multiple nodes.

What I've seen in the last few years was we just didn't ever have those demands (except for deep learning).

I wasn't working for small business, at a genuine mega-corp.

The total production data inflows and egresses of my mega corp, never peaked past I think 200MB/s in any year (for business critical systems. There was some user facing video that was jettison-able). The daily peak was far lower than that.

All production compute needs, bandwidth and compute, were DWARFED by employees on Zoom and Youtube.

The sum total of all proprietary OLTP data, across the company? And we had roughly 14 different legacy proprietary business systems from acquisitions. We had COBAL, we had DB2, we had it all.

The architect of our consolidation had it at less than 5TB (excluding photographs, backups and duplication etc).

40+ years of business critical OLTP data. And all the analytics was done on trailing views of the replicas.

Given the direction of Moore's law, I can safely say that for my former multi-billion dollar employer, Moore's law is going to outpace any of our business requirements.

(Except for photographs. But all our deep learning was being done by a spin out).

In Germany this isn't a legal move. One of my former employees (global telco everyone knows) tried to do the same, namely moving the contracts of the employees to an other company. 200 of them started a class action and won easily. The company had to terminate their contracts (which means the employees are eligible for unemployment benefits, etc.) and had to pay a good severance. Something like (years of employment) * 2 monthly salaries. Some of the employees took the money and went into early retirement.
Why does nobody ever think about the supply of goods and services side of the inflation equation?!?!

This concurs with what OP is saying, but the statement is in effect misleading. The vaccine induced myocarditis risk is higher in young males. The numbers also indicate this is even higher than the risk from COVID-19 infection in that group. However, in the population in aggregate the vaccine is less likely to cause this side effect than infection.
