Fortunately we have these things called "science" and "math" and we have no trouble quantifying these things. Or are you suggesting that there is literally only ONE child in the entire world that is not vaccinated? I'm not sure this is making any sense, to be honest. We have a lot data about times when vaccines did not exist. We have a lot of data about what happened after there was widespread vaccinations. We also have data now about significant numbers of people following an actress' decision to not vaccinate and the resulting emergence of infections.

I don't think anyone is being irrational or hyperbolic. I think it is irrational to compare antivaccinationism with anticircumcisionism. That is just outlandish.
I'm amazed at the lengths people will go to in order to avoid admitting that Single Page Apps are not always, or even usually, a good thing.

Why does your personal preference with any basis in fact or reasoning allow you to trump some sick child's ability to attend school?

Where does preference end? If there's a boy in a kindergarten with severe peanut allergy, should the class snack be peanuts one a day week? After all, the kid can stay home that day?

Read the story of FDR's struggle with polio. Or the death and disfigurement dealt out by smallpox. Or the kids bedridden for weeks with measles in the 50s. Taking safe, effective measures to eradicate these things isn't "ridiculous regulation"... It's a service to humanity.
I've been using isomorphic rendering with ReactJS for some websites that are primarily static (static enough for me to build .html files using React as kind of template-language which get rendered on deploy) and I've found that it's been the best in terms of performance and SEO benefit.

I'm enjoying being able to write my react render function once and everything just working.
Imagine someone you love has a chronic auto-immune disease like MS, arthritis or even psoriasis and they are taking a drug to depress their immune system like a TNF inhibitor or something like methotrexate or cyclosporine. Or they have cancer and on chemotherapy that depresses their immune system. Or they have had an organ fail and they need to take drugs to stop their body rejecting the replacement. Or they have AIDS or any other disease that damages their immune system. Or they are old. Or they are very young, perhaps even unborn.

They did the right thing and unless they had some medical reason not to at the time they got vaccinated. Now what good will it do them with a damaged immune system? What good will it do them if they have not been vaccinated yet due to age.

Then we have a perfectly healthy family who decided that based on advice from their chiropractor/homeopath or some actor that vaccination is a conspiracy by evil big business and government. Besides it is their right not to give a fuck about anyone else. They get a mild sickness from some disease that was effectively non-existent a decade ago and can't understand what the fuss is about as their slightly spotty kids wipe their snot on the door handle. Then your immune compromised loved one comes along.

Sadly, choline promotes the production of TMAO by gut bacteria, which in turn promotes the formation of arterial plaque.
I don't blame you. I'm not sure what I'd do in that situation. "Wait it out" is a good strategy if there is a design element in the new machines you don't like (I did that with the early glossy screens) but if your current machine is defective and basically can't be fixed I wouldn't blame you for jumping ship at all.

It's too bad situations like this end up in court where even if you get made whole it takes years and years and in the mean time you're just stuck with extra costs.
The baked reflections (THAT MIRROR!) upset me a lot more than they should have. I guess it's an uncanny valley effect.
I understand your sentiment. Really.

However, let's look at the bigger picture to see if we can spot any unintended consequences of the policy you hint at.

Interest is the price of money. Quite literally, it is the price that a person pays for buying access to a commodity called money now, rather than some time in the future. It is the price that another person is paid for selling access to their commodity called money.

What you're essentially advocating is price intervention in a market. You're essentially advocating that the supplier of this commodity should give their commodity away at a lower price than the natural price arrived at by the market.

The control of prices in just about any commodity is generally a precursor to a complete disappearance of that commodity on the market. Price controls on food are the best way to ensure food will stop being produced, leading to empty supermarket shelves, famines, riots, etc. Soviet Russia had a tight hand on prices during the 20s and 30s, which resulted in mass famines killing millions of people. A similar story is now unfolding itself in Venezuela. Whether you approve of the moral outlook or not isn't the point, it is a mistake to let a moral outlook, any moral outlook, dictate the price of a commodity.

Price isn't just what you pay for something, it is a signal to the market of the relative scarcity of that product, and the necessity for the producers in the market to make more of it. That signal is essential for efficient markets, i.e. for markets to supply what we all demand. Think of the aggregate of all prices in the markets for all commodities as the neural signals that are fired off through your brain to enable it to function. Of course, that information is spread out over millions of market participants, but it is in aggregate much more accurate than any small committee dictating prices could ever model, whether they have the right moral reasons to do so or not.

I'm not upset about that. Personally, I think vaccines are a minuscule risk, and worth taking, but that's me.

The "why not," for me, is if someone truly believes a vaccine is harmful, maybe due to religion or because she's a researcher that believes there is some second order risk (founded or not), it's immoral to force them to do so.

I think you are just using an anti-science stance to support some either racist or xenophobic political views you have or something like that. The increasing prevalence of antivacinationism is a serious health threat. It will create a situation in which there are significantly more people unvaccinated than there are normally for other reasons.
Yeah, I wish there had been a similar book about the Warcraft side of the company, since Warcraft was one of the first non-shareware games I played on my first PC. Patrick Wyatt's blog[1] has some pieces on it, but more would be lovely.

I think the real major difference is the psychological factor: Google as a brand stands for "free": Gmail, search, YouTub.. You name the top major Google products or brands, and they are considered free in most consumers minds.

You then look at Apple, and what do their users think of the brand? Expensive maybe, but valuable or luxury. This brand identity carries over into the App Store / play store comparisons quite heavily.
It would really curious to compare metrics between the two sites with regard to the ratio of free vs non-free browsing of apps between the two marketplaces.. I suspect Play has a higher ratio of free-loaders vs Apple App Store.
You forgot the smart wearable devices that track your GPS location, heart rate, pedometer, and graphs all your daily activities into a neat little dashboard that's accessible in the cloud. Don't forget to get order all your groceries online!
The numbers are correct.

A better interpretation would be: if the employees owned the company, they'd (effectively) get that much more per year. Instead, shareholders own the company so that money is (effectively) given in equity to the shareholders each year.
I do the same and can confirm it works like a charm.

>One dose of MMR vaccine is approximately 93% effective at preventing measles; two doses are approximately 97% effective.

Vaccination does not confer effective immunity
in all those vaccinated. If an outbreak hits
a school or day care, the 4 day period in which
the infection is contagious before any symptoms
appear means that most of the kids will be exposed,
and any who are not immunized (either not vaccinated,
or vaccination was not effective) are at risk.

I view those who choose not to vaccinate children
who could be vaccinated as freeloaders, depending
on the rest of us to provide group immunity to
protect their children. For those for whom it is
a personal preference or belief, rather than
part of a religious practice, I wish they would
choose to accept their share of the risks.

We are practically neighbors - crazy.

We are in this weird vortex of 'new stuff' - I grew up in PV where we got Cox Cable (5mb down, 5mb up) back in what must have been 1995 - the weird thing is that the sheer volume of customers in PV is so low (big/sprawling houses) that the quality of the infrastructure there is crappy - my parents are still there and have a Cable/Phone/Internet outage probably once a week.

Just north where we live, I think we are right in the middle of everything because even during that huge AZ/CO outage a few days ago - PV was blacked out and we had no impact.

I think we are in the bermuda triangle of broadband in Phoenix.

I don't question it, I just appreciate it and thank whichever god is in charge of these sorts of things.
I think that boundary is important though. If you design your app correctly there won't be the need to rewrite code over the front and back. Also if your building an Android or iOS app you have to build that boundary. So why build the web frontend differently? They should all consume the same backend.

Of course there will probably be repeat code but I'd rather minimize that than try to make universal code.

You still need consistent object identities to do that, which are then tantamount to mutability (they are equivalent with equivalent problems related to consistency, and similar solutions).
Law, and injunctive measures.
...access to internet and access to cutting-edge broadband...

At the pace technology advances, there's not so much difference between the two. Since companies are still constantly pushing the limits of technology, the majority of the benefits of connectivity come at the higher end of the bandwidth spectrum.
I always liked the quote, "You can't reason someone out of a place they didn't reason themselves into."

Emotional influences like skepticism, fear, frustration, and community seem to be the main drivers for not vaccinating your kids. It may be that the best way to combat that sentiment is through emotions. Maybe it takes tactics similar to anti abortion groups? Should we be standing in communities with big posters of dead kids?
Hi, I'm new this website, so please excuse me commenting here, as opposed to the original post. I have interviewed with Ms. Drobnich about this position, and afterwards, she said that she would send my resume to SGT. She also said that I should expect an email from SGT to schedule an interview over the phone. She said the email would be sent within a week of our interview, which was on 01/16.

To this date, I haven't received any email from SGT. So, I was wondering if SGT went forward with another candidate, or if SGT hasn't gotten around to hiring anyone. I know you aren't involved with hiring, but any insight would be helpful.

And by the way, this internship sounds awesome. I'm getting that hyped-up feeling that you get when you buy a lotto ticket after applying to this. I don't know how often you visit this website, but I hope that you see this.
I think you can find a couple on youtube... and I have one I taped back in the days on VHS, but it is nowhere online as far as I know. Plus there was a whole TV program about him (at least a good chunk of it) back in the early 90s with extensive interviews. But I have never got a copy of that one.

My kids' school does require parents to keep kids home if they're vomiting, have a fever, with the additional guidance if "seems sick" which some teachers/administration members use to include excessive coughing and sneezing.

There may be some loophole that makes that unenforceable, but I've been asked to get my kids when a fever had returned after we believed they had recovered.
I didn't know that, thanks for the info. Does that mean that they yet cannot transmit? Or that the vaccine just doesn't work in those cases?
It absolutely is meant to seem terrible. :) Not to put words in your mouth, but assuming a law is passed requiring every kid get vaccinated, there must be a punitive side to the law. What will it be? Prison? Taking people's kids?
It probably depends on what you're doing.

Are you serving something that's pretty much a straightforward hypermedia document with minimal interaction enhancements? Pushing markup generation down the line to the client probably doesn't make a ton of sense, particularly for mobile. In this case "isomorphic" JS isn't going to gain you a lot, given that you don't have to do much on the client, but it does let you do most of the work on the back end, which is nice if JS is your language of choice (and I like it enough I have no quarrel with you, though you could probably do as well with any other language on the back end and a bit of progressive enhancement).

If you're serving an app that isn't really a hypermedia document anymore... well, first you should ask yourself if your app really needs to not be a hypermedia document (and if so, maybe consider some of the tradeoffs between web/native to boot). But assuming you've made those thoughtful considerations, then yeah, the idea to send an initial payload of API call results along with any non-cached essential app code makes a lot of sense.

There's an odd in between place that some apps get to where what you're managing is still a hypermedia document but it's got a lot of independent subsections that may have their own specialized interactions (Hi, Facebook!). If this is your app... well, first you should probably be asking yourself if you might improve experience by moving from the "everything and the kitchen sink" model into a few more targeted document endpoints. But assuming you've done that, having the ability to selectively generate document fragments on the server or the client is probably helpful. And that seems like a good use case for an isomorphic JS approach.

Even as Nomorobo has flourished, the country’s leading phone companies still avoid such call blocking. And that’s rather baffling.

"Rather baffling". I wish I had that dry of a sense of humor. Naturally, the easiest assumption is that the Phone Companies make money from "Anne" and "Rachel" from "Cardholder Services". Given that Bank of America has a "Card Member Services" that calls and sounds a lot like "Anne" and "Rachel", I bet the credit card companies also make a lot of money from it: they get to add overdue charges and other fees when people hang up on legit notices that sound fake.

I can understand the phone companies' stance, and the credit card companies' stance - it's just like ISPs and spam. I can't understand why the FTC and/or the FCC don't go after these scummy scammers. The robocallers are almost certainly using PBXs to put fake IDs on the calls - I haven't gotten a successful call back on any number. I've heard rumors that a lot of the robocallers are also using hacked PBXs as cut-outs. That's got to be illegal. You'd think the F*C agencies would want to stop the robocallers just to stop the constant stream of complaints they get.
You don't have to be senior to get shingles. I got shingles at age 30 along the s2 and s3 dermatomes. Extremely painful but certainly survivable and treatable.

I'm not sure I would characterize it that way. Even with immutable data you can be uncertain whether a value is stored on a system on the other side of a partition. You're only confident that if you can see the data, it hasn't changed somewhere else (which, don't get me wrong, is a tremendously valuable property).
You just build it.
Something about this comment is really bugging me and I'm not sure what it is. I think I'm in agreement that giving people unnecessary medical procedures is probably a bad idea. Maybe it's just because I don't understand why you hate the chicken pox vaccine.

I took a quick look at the CDC page about it and the wikipedia entry. According to wikipedia before the vaccine was introduced in the US 10k people a year were admitted to a hospital due to chicken pox and 100 people a year died from it. It goes on to say that 10 years after the CDC recommended the vaccine the hospital admissions dropped by 71% for people under 20 and deaths dropped 97%.

Neither of those sources had numbers for the moderate or severe reactions cause by the vaccine (seizures,pneumonia) the CDC just says very rare. Overall though it seems like there is essentially no downside.

Now that I just looked all that up maybe my issue is when you claim that they "weighed a very rare risk for unvaccinated children against even smaller risks for vaccinated children" and go on to agree that was a rational decision. At that point wouldn't not being immunized just be irrational?
