Thankyou for replying, but I feel you are reinforcing the dichotomy I described: you are saying because it is effective in one dimension (eg. reducing deaths), we should live with any inadequacies. There is certainly an incentive to make

Why is there a false dichotomy that it's the vaccine or nothing? Why can't there just be a better vaccine. What incentive do pharma companies even have to make a better vaccine, rather than one that is just "good enough&qu

Yes it is the same spike protein, but in a limited dose. I guess the prevailing wisdom is that the dose makes the poison and a little bit of spike protein damage is acceptable compared to a much bigger amount from actual infection and disea

re: No disk checking tool (fsck) - you didn't mention the "zpool scrub" command. Also the IOPS of RAIDZ is, as you said, about the same as a single disk - but only for writes. For reads, it scales fairly linearly like a RAI

I believe the best misinformation/manufactured outrage campaigns start with a grain of truth or an existing non-manufactured opinion. This tiny grain gets augmented and overtaken in social media posts and then spreads to mainstream med

Having time travel capabilities (eg. cockroachdb) is a really useful side effect of MVCC though. Postgres once had this capability. Need for garbage collection/vacuuming is a downside. I think it all depends on the pattern of reads, wr

perhaps oversimplified, but I think its the distinction between acute and chronic inflammation. You are talking about acute.

I needed a new vehicle earlier in the year, and the forums suggested I'd be waiting several months. Instead, I used a commercial broker. Didn't get to choose the colour, but one arrived (to my doorstep) in 2 weeks. So it seems j

No idea - I haven't even seen it officially recognized, or studied. But I can guess its all to do with the spike protein.

Up to 1000mg once per day now, but had to work up slowly over a couple of months, as I wasn't able to tolerate even 10mg at first. You need the "flushing" type of nicotinic acid (it causes your skin to go hot and red for abou

Sorry about that. It isn't really anything to do with the vaccines. It is simply something that may help others, since some unfortunate few (very small %) are even getting "long covid" from just the vaccine alone. Niacin ap

After 12+ months of suffering, melatonin with high dose nicotinic acid totally cured my long covid.

I wonder about this too. I regularly read that REST is bad/failed. But it appears to have had been widely adopted in a soft way, beating any competing ideas.

If you are into Golang, also well worth checking out sqlc. It parses your migrations to generate typed structs and query funcs https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc

It's like a twisted form of mass hypnosis in the _other_ direction. A belief in vaccine-as-saviour so strong that it borders on taking over actual evidence based medicine.

It makes sense to me that people should have a healthy skepcticsim for "captured regulators". Trust, but verify?

Will it handle clustering and failovers better than elasticache? I'd hope so, given its claims about durability, and this would make it more useful than redis/elasticache.

Load directly into Elasticsearch: it supports SQL as well as visualizations and simple querying via Kibana, and is far more performant than PostgreSQL for this kind of thing. Ingest speed is tunable via number of shards and translog sync f

So, any small incremental improvement now (such as enforcing driver attention so TikTokers don't drive from the back seat) will make it safer than not having it?

It is bleeding obvious but many people are jumping on board without question. There are zero repercussions for the company if they make the wrong call here, so they are practically forced to do it.
