I was referring to a document on the fda website. I’ll find it later when on desktop.

Would you be willing to elaborate how that happened?

I am on phone now and can’t search, but: the original Pfizer report at 6 months listed 15:14 vaccine:placebo deaths (of which 1:2 were attributed to covid). It was updated on the FDA website to say 21:17 (still 1:2 Covid) which is surprisin

You need to have a phone number to use Telegram, and (at least in the past) they rather aggressively banned "temporary phone number" based registrations. And the default settings expose your real identity to anyone who already has

Probably the best thread to ask this on: Being paranoid, I want to install some extensions (and their updates, etc.), but I am afraid of originally malicious extensions, and of malicious-takeovers (as was very common, and still happens, for

Thanks, great project! In this comment, you say "20% compression is pretty good". AFAIK, usually "X% compression" means the measure of the reduction in size, not the measure of the remaining. Thus, 0.01% compression so

The divergence is not as big as in the US then, but your incentives are still not perfectly aligned. If you want to outsource your health decisions to someone else, who may be more knowledgeable in general, but may be less knowledgeable o

In that story, which is very long and has all kind of hollywood quality twists (and heros, and villains), there was a highly effective and (relatively, ~$10K overall) cheap treatment, where the official treatment was $30K/month with po

You are arguing against a point I didn't make, and supporting the point I was trying to make. I actually read the papers on remdesivir, and as a result decided that I will not take it if offered, whether hospitalized or not, because of

Indeed, the oath is a theatre prop and not much more. I reside in Israel these days, which has a system similar to NL ttbomk. The doctors that treat you (in the public system) are not incentivized other than to cure you, except perhaps thro

I admire your conviction. And I suspect you would have had the same conviction about smoking had you lived in the 1960s and noticed that many doctors recommended smoking. No, it does matter why a doctor believes what they believe. The vast

You may disregard my pseudonymous self’s statement, but one of my children had a weird disease, which I managed to figure out watching YouTube videos of similar symptoms and reading Wikipedia (at first, then pubmed etc) Over 40 doctors, mos

I don’t consider this vendor lock in; more other-vendor lock out. Which is not to say it is necessarily better or worse - it’s just different. For a company with internal IT or IT capable people, that’s a small hurdle if running the softwar

Bup (Python + C) - https://github.com/bup/bup - de duplicated and compressed. Storage format is a fit repository, an interesting choice that lets you restore using just git tools, “cat” and some effort.

Furthermore, it is incredibly C++ centric, and twenty year old C++ at that; I reviewed it a decade ago and realized many of the patterns are solutions to problems that many other languages don’t suffer from.

Americans pay taxes even if they live outside the US. You get a $90k (or however much it is today) “outside the US” exemption, and if you have a treaty, any taxes paid towards your domicile. But you do pay taxes.

I do too, and it's fine as long as you (a) have a relatively small number of operators, and (b) use one language, or several that have conforming precedence. Does "<<" in C have the same precedence as "shl" in

And in most cases, if you memory map (mmap on Linux/BSD, MapViewOfFile on windows) it’s way faster than reading the file - because you only ever read what’s needed on one hand, and it stays in cache between invocations.

Indeed. And those people used to come to me for help when they upgraded their windows prematurely.

From my perspective, it means it has been deemed ready for fresh installs — which aren’t uncommon. They have, especially with Apple, fewer configurations to test. But the probability that they got a good enough sample for system upgrade is

I often use NaNs on purpose to designate “unknown”, and its properties of “infecting” computations mean that I don’t have to check every step - just at the end of the computation. R goes even farther, and uses one specific NaN (out of the m

Just a small correction: natural immunity is not without side effects - it is just that the side effect price of the natural infection is already sunk cost for those who had the disease.

What time of day are you taking it? Anecdotal, but several accounts I heard from people I know (and some I’ve read — even in this HN discussion, but the most n=1 scientific is gwern) indicate you need to take the vitamin D early in the day

The subsidiaries will always exist - most countries require an employer to be a bona fide local legal entity of the right kind; e.g. an American company cannot have an Italian employee; they can have a self-employee Italian contractor, but

I haven’t used yubikeys in a while, and they never supported backups, but they did support key import for GPG when I used them — so you can make a key some other way, and then put it on as many yuvikeys as you care to. Isn’t that enough for
