Humpherson simply says that "ONS ... do receive data in [people within two weeks of vaccination], and that the individual would fall into the ‘vaccinated’ category" which is a meaningless tautology, as the entire argument is about the definition of vaccinated used by the public health agencies.

Invalid definitions are a very real and pervasive problem, not only being standard in the public health literature but also standard practice for public health agencies. Fenton has compiled a partial (!) list of papers and studies which do this:

Note that UK HSA and studies using ONS data are shown to use invalid definitions.

> the ASMR calculation now uses data linked to the 2021 census which covers around 91% of the population

They say it does, but the UK government doesn't really the true population size. They've admitted this in the past. The 2021 census is unlikely to have solved it given that the civil service doesn't really want to know (if they could actually get full coverage, then they could identify every illegal immigrant). This showed up badly during COVID where more people came forward to be vaccinated than theoretically existed at all in certain age groups. They also told people that only a small percentage of the population was unvaccinated, but when the BBC commissioned a poll as part of a programme they were making (on misinformation!) around 25% of respondents said they were unvaccinated, a huge gap.

So the data quality here is of garbage grade in almost every respect, which is a scandal. People who just tune out and decide nothing governments say on the topic can be trusted are well within reasonable bounds.

>I mean, semantics are also good! Yes, CSS grids are a lot like tables in some ways, but not having to add 25% more DOM elements to fake a table layout (display: table/table-row/table-cell; that's 3 divs for one row!) is also a thing to be celebrated.

Semantics in the context of CSS is a stupid idea web designers came up with. They heard the concept of "semantic", and had to fit it in, to appear smart. Should have asked actual developers.

(the so-called "semantic web" was another such failed idea dragged on for an eternity for research grands. Remember RDF? What fun!)

The semantics is not the job for HTML, which is the final artifact for display, and not a data interchange format, nor the format you store your info as. So there's no need for it to be semantically clean and "parsable/reusable" (to do what? web-scrap it? As for screen-readers, there are official metadata annotations for those - not to mention they wouldn't know to do anything special for each ad-hoc different "semantic" tag soup people come up with with the severely limited for that reason HTML5 tags, or worse divs).

The semantics belong to whatever backend and metadata you have your content in, before it gets rendered as HTML.

And if you need to also give it to users in parsable/reusable form, allow them to query a JSON (or structured) version.
Actually the belief that you're good or "doing altruism" is exactly the kind of thing that would cause a person to do such evil things.

If we take bible metaphorically it's pretty smart because believing you are a inherently unworthy sinner will actually encourage you to do good things instead of the opposite which just causes people to do evil things and virtue signal.

Basically "But we're the good guys" <- that's how you know who is truly evil.

They should not have advised against that either.

It was a much saner, simpler, and more efficient mechanism that the clear/float monstrocities imposed upon people in the period before grid, which reinvented the same thing (table layout) just without the actual tags.

> unless you work in a pitch dark room, which almost no one does.

Is that actually true? In the very early 2000s I worked at a start-up (with not quite well defined target, ended up in the game industry) with darkened office. At that time CRTs were still common and iirc we all used them and I don't recall to have minded. Twenty years later I worked again at a small software shop which had the main office darkened for unclear reasons (I suspect a personal quirk of the fellow running that part of the company) as we now all had LCDs (of course) and there was little to no visual media produced. In between, I visited the earlier company, which grew and moved a few times since, but still kept the office dark (not sure if to benefit content creators or as a fashion statement).

Personally, I rather not sit in the dark during the day for prolonged times; at the very least, it messes with the sleep rhythm.

Oh, flash-back to having visited the lab of a physics PhD student who was working on ultra-short pulse lasers in the early nineties.

There is always a lot of confusion about this because “tables” can mean different things - it is both a set of structual elements in HTML and a layout model in CSS.

CSS is “the right way” to control styling and layout, but that does not mean you can’t use tables.

In the early days of the web people used the BLOCKQUOTE element to create margins since this was the only way. When CSS arrived, it became “the right way” to create margins - but that does not mean you can’t use blockquotes! You just need to distinguish beteen the semantics of a quote and the layou effect of margins.

But I’m sure someone understod this to mean that quoting things were bad.
This is amazingly well said! It deserves a huge virtual billboard.

> If the company provides cheap food it undercuts the local competition and the town as a whole suffers.

I disagree with that take as an argument for taxation.

Let's assume, for the sake of a counter argument, that a company stops providing their canteen service, and, instead, all employees bring their own lunch from home. The local "competition" is still not getting the hypothetical customers they had hoped for. So should the employees be taxed because, by bringing their own lunch, they are not bringing business to the local restaurants and the town is suffering? Or should we tax the supermarkets because they are undermining the local restaurants by allowing the employees to eat cheaply?

My argument is that imposing a tax because some hypothetical other scenario is potentially not happening is wrong. At best, it's an excuse to levy an extra tax, by bringing forward the fallacy that other business are being hurt. Or worse, it is forcefully coercing employees to participate in the economy at a higher cost than what they were prepared to pay, and determining for them what the cost of the lunch of an employed person should be. (Either by forcing them to eat out, or by taxing them so that the cost of canteen+tax is similar to eating out).

Where there could be room for taxation is if the food is provided below cost price, as the employees are then having an advantage in nature that could be considered part of a salary. But even if the food was provided for free, if we estimate an average meal to cost $5, and for 20 days of work a month, that would be $100 of equivalent salary. Is that really worth the administrative hassle?

3. User authentication is managed via React, employing either JWT or OAuth.

With PCIe 4 and 5 the latency issues are not as much a problem as they were, what with latency masking, gpudirect/storage-direct, busy-loop kernels (and hopefully soon scheduling libraries to make them easier to use) :-) and if you're really into real-time, computing time on NVIDIA GPUs has excellent jitter/stability and they are used in the very tight control loop of adaptive-optics (1ms-loop with mechanical actuators to drive).

The penalty for branching has reduced in the last years, but yeah it's still heavy, but if you're OK with a bit of wasted compute, you can do some 'speculative' execution and do both branches in different warps, use only one result...

But yes, you're still using an accelerator.
