Five months, eh? Convenient that you just missed July and August. Let us know how you feel in another seven months.

I imagine it's kinda what it must be like living in the CCP: Everyone is self-censoring and putting forward a fake face in hopes of appealing to some nebulous authority that may or may not be watching. Facebook is becoming more and more like this which is why people are finally leaving en masse. Any network based on censorship is doomed to be replaced by one where people feel like they can be themselves.

Will something replace LinkedIn one day?

Can't they be sued due to truth in advertising laws?

No, but $20 - $30 might be reasonable, and anything cheaper than $70 might be sold out by then.

You don't need the parentheses either.

I'll throw in my two cents as someone who quit sugar in the past six months: I wasn't really free of the addiction until more than two weeks had gone by. Since then I lost 20 lbs without exercising and I just have these periodic moments in the day when I feel a huge surge of energy. After a couple months I cut my total carb intake to < 120g / day and increased my fat intake. Then I switched to a revolutionary new diet: Three meals a day. (No snacking / grazing.) Since adding these changes I've lost another five pounds and am steadily losing 1 - 2 lbs a month without any additional exercise.

Anyway, a week just annoyed the f outta me. I'd give it two or three weeks at least. It takes that long to cut the cravings I didn't even realize I was having.

As you get older you find you can't quite handle things the same as before.

I take 48 hours off of caffeine each week, and limit my daily dose on the days I make use of it. Perhaps one day I'll quit entirely. I can definitely feel it when I overdo caffeine in a single day. (Usually in the form of tea - I'm not much of a coffee drinker.)

Good luck and godspeed. If anyone else is worried about their general level of anxiety and/or caffeine intake I'm happy to answer questions.

vim is kinda hard to follow and emacs is probably too complex. Start with some simpler open-source editors like joe, nano, or gEdit. neovim is probably a lot easier to follow than vim, as well. You could also peruse these github projects: https://github.com/collections/text-editors

> If the human trials have successfully concluded

They have not.

The study indeed did not set out to prove negative efficacy but a negative VE of 75% is a result that absolutely warrants further research.

Because the basic controls that prevent us from harmful outcomes were not observed. Did you read nothing else I wrote?

From the lancet study:

"Vaccine effectiveness evaluated at least 7 days after receipt of the third dose, compared with receiving only two doses at least 5 months ago".

Literally no control for recency. Newer research (admittedly, not yet peer-reviewed) seems to show that efficacy of the vaccines dwindles over time. As little as 90 days. [1]

The results from the booster may have more to do with having received a vaccine more recently than they do with the overall efficacy of any of the vaccines.

How much is "to a certain extent"?

Has this been quantified? Because I recall Fauci saying it "100%" prevent hospitalizations and it turns out it was far, far less than 100%.

This hasn't been peer-reviewed yet, but preliminary studies are showing that the vaccines actually do have negative efficacy after 90 days:

Yet another point in favor of "Let's not presume until the studies have been completed."

Yet people who are vaccinated can still transmit the disease. So how do you quantify the excess risk? Particularly for those who are young and healthy and unlikely to develop severe viral loads or complications? Are there any studies that show transmission rate for vaccinated vs. unvaccinated by age range?

Looking at the vaccination materials my wife got when she was vaccinated, I noticed some disturbing notes including that animal trials had never been completed.

Being healthy and under 40, and given how quickly these vaccines were rushed out, I merely want to wait until the long-term effects are known. I don't think there's anything extreme about that.

It should be noted that I've had covid (from visiting fully vaccinated and boosted family) and have had the antibody test confirming I should have some degree of resistance now.

However government policy and messaging has all been based on vaccination - not verified natural resistance (which studies show are robust to many variants, unlike vaccination). I can only conclude that the government does not care about health outcomes: It only cares about vaccination status. After being denied entry to restaurants and events and generally punished by society for what I deem to be reasonable caution, it starts to feel very dystopian and gives me all the more reason to pause and wait for long-term studies to be completed.

Incidentally, I'm one of the most vaccinated people on Earth. I've had over 90 vaccines prior to this event, including three just prior to the outbreak of the pandemic. None of them have ever required me to sign a liability waiver. Yet another reason I'm cautious about these vaccines: If the manufacturers are more uncertain of these vaccines than usual then why shouldn't I be?

Not to defend the CEO but nearly every one of the negative reviews bashing the CEO has the following characteristics at the top of the review:

* Does not recommend * Approves of CEO * Poor business outlook

I find it difficult to believe that dozens and dozens of people bashing the CEO on glassdoor all just happened to misunderstand and click "Approves of CEO". This looks like an automated and/or coordinated attack.

Well they still haven't figured it out with YouTube.

There is no test to be a math teacher. This is one of the tests you have to pass to be a teacher. When you begin as a teacher it's not typically up to you which subjects you will teach.

I've been having this problem a lot recently. First Rackspace, later CloudFlare. Most recently Twitter accused me of being a robot and asked me to verify that I'm a human by posting a government-issued ID even though I rarely use it and I've never posted a comment there and could not have possibly broken any policies. Sorry that this is happening to you. I think tech companies at large are really failing individuals. Even if it's only 1 - 2% of users annually, it adds up across the dozens of services we use day-in, day-out for years and it really isn't good.

Not quite true.

Congress has been explicitly exempted from insider trading regulations.

If you're "CTO of a company that is growing like crazy" then you shouldn't be writing code anymore. You need to develop your management skills. If you can't do that, then it's time to step aside.

This is great! If you like small semantic CSS frameworks, you should take a look at mu: https://github.com/BafS/mu

It's a complete base CSS framework in just over 1kb of code.

Warrantless spying should be illegal full stop. Let alone installing equipment on someone's land or cutting down their trees. I hope the government agency responsible for this is soundly reprimanded in court.

I tried doing the modules tutorial a while back but had difficulty with the directory structure. At some point I think the "recommended" directory structure became mandatory and I don't think my personal dev environment ever quite lined-up with it. Perhaps I should wait another year then buy a book.

So now that go has generics and modules, is there an up-to-date intro for writing cutting-edge Go code for people who are already pretty familiar with the older styles?

Not true on most phones. Samsung and a lot of other manufacturers package a lot of non-removable apps and customizations to make the OS "theirs". Although I do find Google's line of phones to be relatively bloatware-free. (Although I still can't remove Google Assistant, obligatory voice-to-text, or a few other unwanted features.) Motorola's phones were also pretty good until their recent acquisition. Now they're getting just as spammy as other Android manufacturers. OnePlus is relatively good, but I can't remove Google Pay or their stupid gaming app for some reason.

Does anybody know of any other relatively bloatware-free manufacturers?

Why is this on HN?

Don't use points, use em or rem. Otherwise it won't render well for people with unusual screen formats.
