I'm not sure that adds up - if that were the case, vaccinated people with breakthrough would have the same outcomes as infected unvaccinated people. But that does not seem so - the outcomes of vaccinated people are way better even when

Sweden was beating the "we're not restricting stuff!" drum for a while, but eventually they chickened out and locked down, just like everyone else, if not more. They are not a good example.

It's not just the risk of the strategically turning it off. It's also creating a dependence and giving Putin money. Those are bad by themselves.

Just to clarify, I meant Redshift ra3 storage costs as much as s3, so you're not saving much by keeping things in s3 instead of in Redshift. Although I don't know how Redshift compression compares to something like gzipped parquet

If you care about healthcare costs, think about all those antivaxx idiots who end up on oxygen and ventilator before finally kicking the bucket. Way more money than obesity!

You can do "lakehouse" just with Redshift, but in AWS pictures, you'll see Glue Jobs, Glue Elastic Views, Sagemaker, Aurora ... it's a huge mess. With ra3 redshift, you pay storage cost of s3 for internal data as well, s

Yes but it even one vaccinated person gets COVID it means the whole vaccine is useless!!!11! Ugh. The antivax stance on HN makes me think wbole of the banned Reddit antivaxx subs moved here.

"Data Lakehouse" is sadly term ruined by AWS. It used to mean "data lake extended to support data warehouse use cases". So something like HDFS or S3 with Delta (from DBX) or Apache Iceberg storage formats, utilizing Spar

I work for "big pharma" - we were one of the companies that tried to make COVID vaccine. We failed - it worked but was not as good as Pfizer and others (though if those didn't work out, ours would still be worth it). Nobody i

Xiaomi MiBands are surprisingly good at what they do, especially for the money. Not a premium product by any stretch but still nice. I like it especially because it looks more and more like a simple bracelet with each iteration, instead of

One more thing to note is that China doesn't have much oil, natural gas and other resources on its own, and it is very hard to get any to it by any other way than by sea - otherwise it's combination of Siberia, Himalayas, deserts

As far as I understand, they were using it before we had the vaccine as "it might work, it might not, better than nothing". But I don't know the details. I think the practice was discontinued later? But the space it occupied
