You're missing the point. Look at panel B again: People who only had Omicron Covid have close to no immunity to any of the previous variants. That's the important part: Getting infected with only the omicron variant leaves you susceptible to a later infection with delta.

Panel D only shows that infection with an older variant in combination with a later omicron infection has a similar effect to a vaccine combined with an omicron infection.

So the assertion in the title still stands: The idea of not getting vaccinated and instead hoping for an omicron infection to gain "natural immunity" is unrealistic because you won't gain any noteworthy immunity to anything other than omicron

I quote: "Therefore, unvaccinated persons who are infected with the omicron BA.1 variant only (without previous SARS-CoV-2 infection) might not be sufficiently protected against infection with a SARS-CoV-2 variant other than omicron BA.1; for full protection, vaccination is warranted."

> - Weimar Republic -> Nazi Germany. Let's not forget in 1933 when Hitler was appointed Chancellor, the Nazis held the most seats through elections;

Let's not forget also that Hitler did not rise to chancellor by democratic process but by state of emergency measures, and that all the seats he grabbed was thanks to his friends from big industry campaigning for him because he promised to rid them of unions.

What is Emotional Intelligence? A deep dive into EI
Very bluntly put: full-time pair and/or mob programming is for and by neurotypical extroverts. People for who their job is a social activity, for who deep work and deep focus on their own are mostly foreign concepts.

I mean to each their own, but companies - and fellow developers - need to stop forcing others into their way of working. Having One True Way of doing things is always bad. But yes, this may mean there will be a divide in your company / teams, where one part prefers solo work while others prefer group work. Deal with it. Compromise. Let the extroverts work on their own for a while, and the introverts do some pair programming, but don't go all in on one or the other.

My guess is the data was put there before disabling, and disabling doesn't automatically remove the data.
The model fine tunings can't immediately be used to say "this person has pictures of cats". They effectively are just a big diff of the ML weights. It's a big set of floating point numbers which is hard to get any meaning out of.

But experts believe that techniques might be developed in the future to figure out based on the numbers what data must have been in the training set (and hence your photos). Nobodies managed to do that yet.
I have an idea that people who had an experience of taking a strong synthetic phenethylamine generally have much higher emotional intelligence as compared to ordinary people. Because such an experience is a strong demonstration of how does chemistry define how do you feel and also an example of feelings so strong you can not get away without observing them with awareness (oddly enough it seems many people have no conscious experience of observing their emotions).
I don't think there's anything at all wrong with only coding 40 hours a week or less.

SerenityOS is an amazing accomplishment but it's just a hobby project without massive resources like major projects have.

Most real world apps have tons of devs that don't do 60 hours, the modern dev process just doesn't need it, unless you're doing large things entirely done by small teams.
One could argue that if the work one does could be done by a boot camper, then that work is inherently lower-value than work that could not.

The government used emergency powers designed to be used in case of war for dealing with peaceful protesters. The previous act was only used during WW1, WW2, and during the October Crisis by Trudeau's alleged father, which is also the reason the powers were watered down.

Indeed. The only case where it makes sense is when severe cases ramp up so quickly that they overwhelm the health system.

Right now we're in a stable situation even without masks and most countries here in Europe have abandoned them even in public transport and doing just fine. Sadly where I live (Spain) is not one of them :(

But for personal protection there's no point. COVID has become so contagious we're all going to get it sooner rather than later anyway. Might as well get it over with. Or at least make it a personal choice. Those who are worried about it can wear the heavy masks but leave the rest of us alone :)

She later did so much MDMA, that it now doesn't have any effect on her anymore, she claims. Doubt she tried it recently though, as she's 91 now.

Incidentally, Shulgin didn't discover MDMA himself. It was discovered around 1910 IIRC, but hadn't found to be useful back then. He rediscovered it much later.
I don't mind being on a platform that's not used by 12 year olds. I'm looking for interesting social/political/philosophical/technological content and engagement, and I suspect only a minority of teenagers are really interested in that.

And while teenagers are on Discord, my impression is that their content there isn't great either. The interesting stuff on Discord is also mostly from 40-somethings.

Thing is, facebook has never been a great place for these things. I still have a FB account, but I haven't checked it in years, and back in the days when I did, there was only one person posting really interesting stuff. Everything else was just lame crap. For a while, I set FB to notify me when that guy posted anything and just ignored everything else, but I really wish he'd just post on a better platform.
This reminds me of nintendos styling although theirs has traditionally been glossy like the early web 2.0 designs used everywhere.

This isn't feasible for most people though. Hence why this exists. Not sure why that's so hard to understand.

Yes, we could set up our own mail servers, manage DNS meticulously, whatever. Most people don't have the time, and many people don't even use email that much anymore to begin with.

Not sure what the argument is here. Just because they aren't your preference, they don't work at all?
Honestly, the "lead the by the nose" situation is a large improvement from many of the doctors I've met, who will actively ignore any evidence that doesn't fit their favourite diagnosis. Classic example: my partner was impaled through the leg in a workplace accident and had to go to the ER. The doctor declared that the wound was, in fact, a diabetic sore and that my partner had faked the accident to cover it up. Since the "diabetes" had reached the point of developing sores, he was prescribing insulin. However, the insurance company, "as a formality", insisted that he measure her blood sugar. After TWENTY blood tests came back with a perfectly healthy blood sugar level, he stuck with the diabetes diagnosis and just prescribed a different drug for it.

A runner up was a co-worker who WAS diabetic after a pancreatic infection. He later went to the doctor to complain about some knee pain. The doctor looked at the symptoms (e.g. joint paint, diabetes, shortness of breath) and diagnosed asymptomatic obesity. The "asymptomatic" part comes from the fact that my co-worker was built like David Bowie. However, the doctor declared that the remaining symptoms pointed towards obesity and that losing forty pounds would clear up all his issues.

No. Widespread adoption is hindered of the status quo that Linux is not the default OS on the PC platform. If governments used Linux internally, mandated that schools teach Linux and Libreoffice, and the Windows bundling thing hadn't happen, and especially if all this happened 15 years ago, the landscape would be vastly different. Linux wouldn't have fewer quirks, maybe it would have more, but nevertheless people would use it because that would make the most sense to them. This is the only thing that matters, not user experience, not the goal of the software, but things that are orthogonal to the software: its integration into society.
I tried R too. It seems to be searching for R in company names - R Systems, R/GA, H & R Block come up as examples.

> But the concept of race is primarily a sociological concept and has social implications.

Perhaps, but this makes "race" just another word for "culture". And white, Black or Hispanic cultures are far from uniform in the U.S. so even by that standard it makes little sense. "Using outwardly visible characteristics as an easy indicator of cultural difference" merely invites stereotyping anyone who holds such visible characteristics, as if differences within the so-called races weren't far more relevant overall.

This comment should NOT be downvoted. We are not comparing this device to somebody wearing a mask. We're comparing two mask-less people - one with, one without this device. In which case the quantity of virus expelled in their breath is equal, but the distribution of air is different. How this affects spread of disease is far from obvious.

It could spread more:

- it reaches more people

- it reaches people faster

It could spread less:

- much more diluted

- will dry droplets faster

- it works as a portable filter which filters part of the volume of air in that space

Because it's not much (if even that) cheaper than batteries in practice, it's very limited by geography (best sites for this are often already used for it), and there are significant environmental concerns (mountains are often protected areas, because humans have not managed to destroy them as much as other places).

Yep. It was the same before Mastodon, with the predecessor of ActivityPub, et al. People had to "do whatever StatusNet/GNUSocial is doing". Even the code examples in the specs themselves were unable to interoperate with any instance whatsoever.

How does Discord spam work? I only really follow one Discord community (which has a few dozen channels), and it feels like the people organising it are in full control.

Nobody. That's the beauty of democracies. When you spread power over a clicque of background characters without any clear tyrant to blame, you can get away with anything.

I'll take that every day. Because it's not like proprietary doesn't fuck itself up. For an anecdote, I had a laptop with Win8 preinstalled, and Update just wasn't working one day. The solution?

A small personal note: I totally favor scientific crowd-experiment, but ONLY if done in FLOSS and public terms. SmartPhones these days are surveillance devices maintained and paid by the formal owner while they serve far more their vendor and other player behind, with the formal owner as the last in the pyramid.

In that sense I have to refuse because I have to refuse the device used even by a formally FLOSS and public experiment. Of course asking to buy or buy and offer sensors devices to the masses is unfeasible BUT it's perfectly feasible, just, needed, asking to IMPOSE open hardware without lock-ins, FLOSS code on them and services with public APIs as a State law, gradually growing to exit actual extremely dangerous and sorry situation. Scientific institutions are among those best qualified to took such public statements. Avoiding them means avoiding part of the Scientific duty, witch is doing their best to improve the society.
Presidential immunity helps defend against Trump-like situations. Who knows, maybe he would not have attempted the coup if there weren't so many lawsuits hanging over him. American democracy almost failed. I actually think we need a system that retires every billionaire for life with honors and a luxurious lifestyle but not power. Sort of a "congratulations you won capitalism" award, after which they have to give up their money and power but get to be cool and get like 100k per year to blow on a lavish lifestyle.

> Why is it a bad sign if the situation doesn't come up often enough for a formal process to have emerged?

It isn’t necessarily, like if you are about to be employee #1. But even then you want to hear that the person (presumably cofounder) you’re talking to has considered it and will move useless ppl on.

It’s not black and white. You would be looking for a better answer from a more established team.

Consider Netflix famous presentation where it states right in there what they will do, because “it’s a sports team not a family” and they understand the massive collateral damage a single bad performer can have.

> Are they trying to figure out if they can game the system?

Yes it’s possible but a senior person at a company that does in fact have high-performing management probably won’t think that, especially if you ask it tactfully and with context. (“I have had some previous experiences where a single poor performer really dragged down the performance and morale of the whole team, how would you handle something like that here?”)
> You also risk damaging morale,

If someone really should be fired but isn't, that also damages morale.
The other side of this coin is that if you are are forced into actions which you "know" are wrong and just accept it, then maybe the job is already dead for you anyway. By fighting back you are testing a number of stress points, like the conflict-avoidance of your management and the belligerence of the person you know to be "wrong". The important part is having the maturity to understand the consequences of being mistaken yourself, and being able to decide whether the fight is worth having even if it is going to have drastic results. In other words, is this a hill worth dying on?
I agree with your position but that's a bad analogy (as most analogies are). With your computer you can choose to uninstall and no longer use VSCode. You can't choose your neighbor and you can't force him to move away to prevent his bad actions. Also, it would be more like your neighbor is peeping in your windows or planting a monitoring bug to record your activities, rather than breaking in.

Taking that further, you can ditch your Mac and switch to Linux or BSD if you're concerned about the article subject. In other words, you can sell your house and move if you don't like the direction the neighborhood is going with all the peeping toms about, but there's extra work involved in that solution so you have to decide if you can afford such a change for more privacy. So, you can sell your Mac and move your workflow to a less invasive OS on hardware you choose, but depending on how deep your workflow is intertwined with and relies upon the macOS ecosystem, that can be a ton of work as well.
