The myocarditis from COVID and vaccines plausibly have separate prognoses (we don’t even know much about either) but in any case for this population some studies have shown the risk is higher of this specific symptom for both mRNA vaccines.

Unfortunately we still do not understand the mechanism of action nor the underlying cellular consequences. (Subclinical cases obviously are not measurable, and clinical resolutions may not mean no permanent damage.) Here is a study where au

What I wrote is not misinformation, the post I was replying to however is incorrect, claiming the “majority of vaccinated people do not get infected.” The efficacy of eg two shots from H1 2021 is iirc about 30% (being generous.) Also, the f

I’m not disputing that, I’m disputing the claims I was replying to. Facts matter.

1 in 10k myocarditis risk for males under 40 for moderna, replicated several times. Pfizer mixed iirc, but still non trivial risk.

Neither does the vaccine. Natural immunity is more protective vs omicron, at least according to some studies. The best combo of course is a post infection vaccination, but the vaccine wears off after 5 months anyway.

Your article is from October. Omicron basically nuked the vaccines’ ability to prevent infection. (It’s not a zero, but it is extremely weakened esp without a recent booster.)

I didn't laugh at the double masking guidance, I just laugh at the false equivalencies made across the CDC's guidance that refers to "masks" as though there's not a universe of difference between a re-used, sporadic

No. Cloth masks are understudied and probably don’t do much. What does do a lot, probably, is a dynamic where millions of people wearing ineffective masks thinking they are effective, and making bad choices entirely due to that bad assump

There was no new data to support a change in guidance on cloth masks. The argument made is that omicron was the factor which warranted the updated guidance on cloth masks. There is no data to support the idea that cloth masks were suddenly

It’s not like they just decided - they did, they actually just decided. The change in cloth mask guidance proves it: no new data, we always knew they were ineffective.

Hubs is a toolkit, it doesn’t prescribe a specific aesthetic style or metaphor oriented use case.

I wrote this, and if you read it, you’d understand that it isn’t about Mozilla.

HN commenters may be surprised to learn Hubs has been around for ~5 years and was built in part to front-run the push for centralized metaverse projects, which may soon mediate much interpersonal interaction. It also can be deployed to AWS

Yep, agree 100%. Few hackers remain on hacker news.

Wow. How is it so cheap? Xerox Alto was way more expensive in inflation adjusted usd.

Correct it’s not even hard to imagine in our lifetimes humanity will have a solid footing to reject the cost/benefit of Dyson Spheres based on existing alternatives.

by gfodor 5y ago
The second doesn’t follow from the first. Dyson Spheres might just not be worth building.

What’s the advantage of this over creating splits and navigating to the relevant code? This is what I do all the time, having a hard time understanding how this would improve that.

if easy to answer: can this be used with eg AWS RDS? or is there something that couples the postgres engine tightly enough that's not doable?

Congrats - this looks really interesting, and this is coming from a person who generally ignores new shiny database news. Def will be checking this out!

Agree - WebXR is mostly off peoples' radars, but if at least two vendors end up adopting it well, it will have massive long term consequences (good ones) for the democratization of VR and AR.

Diehl regularly neglects disclosing his conflict of interest when railing on crypto - he is CTO of a centralized block chain company that will be selling to governments and central banks.

There is an awesome GitHub repo with lots of cool stuff to hack on for Christmas on millions of electric cars. This is about as hacker worthy as it gets.

by gfodor 5y ago
Exactly - you highlight the problem. Launching on Christmas introduces unique situational entropy. They should do it later.

by gfodor 5y ago
I didn’t imply they did it on purpose. The they here is in the spirit of Murphy’s Law. Seriously: launching on Christmas seems like a bad and unnecessary source of entropy.

Lol all the negative replies here really drives home the “hacker” spirit in “hacker news”
