Thank you for this needed comment. ER wait times were a problem before Covid. I've experienced waiting in an ER with a loved one who was convulsing, it was extremely scary and sobering to see how long we waited (about an hour or so).

And what about unknown long-haul effects from newly developed vaccines? Are we permitted to be concerned about those?

What about distinguishing between long term efficiency and short term efficiency? Decentralized systems tend to be more efficient in the long term. Centralized systems tend to be more efficient in the short term. I think this may be true-i

There seems to be a recursive aspect to this. Accusations of racism are used to silence (censor) voices. From the article: Charges of “racism,” for instance, are primarily deployed against the political opponents of upwardly-mobile, highly

Delivering it closer does provide more power. Some of the power is lost to heat as the electricity travels through the traces on the motherboard.

What!? NPR's website contains articles with false time stamps. Are you ok with this? Why does the conspiracy theorist angle matter at all? Knowing when an article was written is a useful piece of information that is being destroyed b

A hypothesis: We are all narrative building, all of the time. It's what humans do. I can't really tell if that is 100% true, but I think it might be. I think confirmation bias could be looked at through this lens. We have an i

Why people are so quick to blame to blame anti-vaxxers? The United States has millions of immigrants and visitors from other countries. Some go through official channels which require vaccinations, many do not. According to the CDC, Measl

When docker first arrived, people were confused about how to use it. I remember seeing lots of people putting an ssh daemon in their containers!?! I like the s6-overlay approach, it's pragmatic. I haven't been using containers a

I hope you can avoid becoming bitter. I've struggled with this myself. I appreciate your other response in this thread too. There is some real wisdom to avoiding politics in certain situations. However, if we never talk about thing

do you have any trouble running shell scripts? I would suppose that the #! line at the top of the script would save you from problems in most cases. What about bash one liners? I had a bad experience with Ubuntu's (Debian's) dash

I don't know what it means. I can tell you that as I've become more conservative, I've been less able to express myself freely. I started off life as a liberal and spent most of my adult life not affiliated with a political

I wish I could find a "slam dunk" source that stated what the current threshold recommended by the CDC, but I can't quite find it. I've personally read many sources that talked about using cycle counts above 30 over the

That figure seems questionable. 1) high cycle PCR tests tend to produce false positives. [0] 2) recently (maybe now?) the CDC was recommending that the cycle count be lowered for vaccinated individuals (break through cases). [1] If unvaccin

I think these kinds of questions are very personal. I had a close family member who couldn't walk. She didn't make her inability to walk a part of her identity, it was just something annoying she had to put up with. I doubt she

my point is that there is inconsistency between popular descriptions of jan6 and the charges. If jan6 was as bad as many say it was, then we should expect to see not only serious indictments, but also convictions.

> The risk of covid and the vaccination are now sufficiently well understood that being anti vaxx is just nonsensical. What process do you use to evaluate how well risks are understood by experts?

Excellent point! I updated it to make the number of births per family a parameter. It's still an approximation of reality of course. Here are the results when the number of max births per family is dropped to 2: boys = 74861
