I am disappointed that no one answered my question. With the number of comments i read expressing very strong opinions, i had hoped someone would have investigated that point.

Whn says that more than 95% of measles mortality was in low income areas. Is the low mortality rate in higher income areas due to a higher rate of vaccination, or does better medical infrastructure itself lower the moratality? Genuinely int

I need a simple rest json store, and this could come handy. I'm using openkeyval right now, but they have a value size limit much too low (which seems to be a bug).

I am surprised the server side is windows. If you stream your app to a device the server platform does not matter, and would have thought linux to be the first choice in that case.

I've started developing some simple apps with Wt ( http://www.webtoolkit.eu ) and it's really cool. It lets you develop web apps in a widget oriented way, and completly abstract the client/server communication. It&#

What about learning/discovering the haskell language and its ecosystem? Did you have a lot of refactorings, replacements of libraries wrongly chosen, etc? Were these changes facilitated by haskell? Very curious to know because haskell

It would be interesting to know if the devs there are long time haskell developers, or if new hires could easily be trained in haskell.

The first link mentions EV certificate handshake is slower. Is that really the case? What is the reason?

Did you test statically typed groovy? Does it have better performance? As for clojure, how does its performance compare to groovy? Really interested to know more!

I know a pregnant woman trying to get information about which vaccines to administrate to her future baby. She either get as answer "do them all as there's absolutely no risk' or 'vaccines are bad'. So it's not

You ask for facts, I give an example of what I mean but then you reject it as random and needing evidence of a thesis I never formulated.... As for your second paragraph, the scientific establishment can be very wrong. Example: 20 years ago

Now I understand your reasoning. Stating there are two camps with no one in-between was maybe indeed too... extreme. I meant to say that there are a lot of people with strong opinions, and few with a balanced view acknowledging there are bo

I listed an example about the rotavirus in my subsequent comments, but here's another one mentioned by Patrick_devine in the comments: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/0

Just to be sure we agree: it is 1% of deaths, not of children. Maybe the efforts should focus on bigger death causes of children. My opinion of course. Your example talks about mexico, which is not a high income country, and the US, which h

Looking at the facts lead me to a moderate position. I let you feel confortable following the cdc, i prefer to keep a critical mind, though i agree it is hard for non experts like us to get good and objective information.

I don't understand why you think I'm discussing US policy... It seems we don't understand each other and ending our discussion is indeed the best option.

This formulation was not very good, I agree. Thanks for the constructive comment. What I meant is that some push for overly-broad vaccination when the benefits/risks ratio is too small. Just like rotavirus vaccination in high-income co

A lack of moderated opinions is hurting a lot these days. Read my answer to dalke, because I would like ask you the same question: Would you be for mandating vaccines against rota-viruses in high-income countries?

I do not understand the downvotes here,especially with no argumentation. It only illustrates my opinion: people have too extreme opinion on the subject. I maintain that being unconditionally pro or anti vaccines is a bad approach.

I am not against vaccines, it saves lives, but sometimes i have the feeling we may not get sick anymore, with all proposals for inefficient vaccines against benign affections. Sadly both camps (pro and anti vaccines) have too extreme posit
