Vaccination is not a "this is a cultural decision at the society level". It has saved millions and millions of lives. Maybe change your employer if you are so pissed at them?

> At this point, the odds of getting COVID are small. That's because the herd around you has been vaccinated. So you are OK with others getting vaccinated for your benefit but wouldn't do your part to benefit the herd. Awesome!

are you sure about the infecting the remaining 40%. In every article I read, they specifically mention re-infections in many cases.

by b0sk 5y ago
Not necessarily [1]. COVID vaccines particularly give you far higher neutralization titers than a prior infection. [1] A glaring counterexample to your hypothesis is Brazil (Manuas) where prior infections (as high as 60%) didn't stop t

Easier to reason about. easier to communicate. Threads are a low level primitive. the goroutines seemed to be designed with concurrency in mind.

It's also the "most racist document he has ever read". That's kinda fantastic in itself.

Not necessarily. Concurrency is generally not parallelism. Coroutines help solve IO-bound issues - a long networking API call doesn't block your program. You can continue doing other things. The side-effect of which may use all your co

Maybe if our COVID response was like Germany, a lot of lives would have been saved, like her grandfather. Why isn’t it the fault of Trump who was focused on his re-election and did the bare minimum? “no matter how good the government is..”

LOL at mentioning all those things as a factor that "drove" you to Trump. No, you drove yourself to Trump. Trump is literally worse in every point you listed.
