Yes but why no silent mutations?

Yes there is so much uncertainty that I think that the best response is to do nothing.

Not an expert but please take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_antigenic_sin

Ah yes it is. I only skimmed it

Thats interesting. Is this from a russian novel of some kind?

Correlation does not imply causation.

I added a reference to my original comment. Maybe its what youre looking for.

But otherwise i dont really know honestly what the risks are but i wouldnt say for a young healthy person its at 3-4 percent of dying. For context I have had covid and a high fever and mild pneumonia during it so I have some idea.

FWIW I would definitely recommend the get vaccinated (two shots maybe even a booster) and then getting covid as its a safer strategy. But yeah youre not going to get immunity otherwise is all I am saying.

Yes you’re rite i shouldn't express my opinion too much in this matter as I am not a specialist. I usually say this to very close friends when they ask my opinion.

Added some actual research to the original comment.

Not an epidemiologist. But I also find myself saying this sometimes in context of covid. An actual infection is the only way to get any kind of long term immunity (the next best alternative being booster shots every year). If youre young, healthy, have access to high quality care and without any preconditions this could be a viable strategy for you. (Serious disclaimer - Please get vaccinated first before going down this road). Alas i find myself to be the minority in this argument.

Edit. Reference https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v...

Edit. I agree its not a safe strategy. Kids please dont do this at home. Consult a doctor, epidemiologist etc.

This! I am beginning to think more every day that C/C++ is about the only stable, rewarding and fun career in tech devoid of petty politics, full of high quality colleagues and tons of fun problems to solve. Ideally want to be an entrepreneur but C/C++ dev is not a bad fallback option.

Everything makes sense in the end. Whats actually important is the stuff between your ears and the health of you and your dearest ones. Money and age are just two numbers that dont mean too much.

IMHO I would say you get paid highly precisely because you spent a decade pursuing your passions and developed skills.

Ha I had the exact same experience with Wachovia bank in New York City once and basically their argument was on the lines of “The highest value transaction was probably the most important for you so we ordered it by price so that your most important transactions go through first”.

In a way though I feel like the American system is set up to traumatize you for being poor so much that you develop the thirst to become a millionaire one day when these things don’t affect you.

Its not that you should care about it. Its more that at least the language developers should have thought of and defined it precisely without ambiguity.

I am building two apps one for algo trading and one for eating well. This in addition to client work for 20 hrs per week. Not sure how to switch context and I keep thinking about client work in my personal days.

Solo founder here. Not sure how to build a proper distributed backend without docker compose. My stack is python, celery, postgresql, redis. I have one remote vm (each for staging and prod) and a simple deployment script that ssh into the remote vm and does a ‘docker compose up’. But yeah kubernetes is a big time sink with no value and I chose to avoid it.

Step 1. Hit the gym. Attitude is everything.

Step 2. Hire someone (preferably a young girl who also uses tinder) to take pictures of you and give you fashion advice. I ended up hiring an actual fashion school graduate :)

Step 3. Make your job fully remote and travel (easy for programmers like us). Learn a new language.

Do these and youre in top 5 percentile easily. Good luck!

Hmm so 1) the corporate tax rate and other tax benefits in many EU countries is much lower than the US (I imagine you must have heard of US companies using their European operations to dodge us taxes)

2) The quality of labor you can hire is generally higher in europe (for example its common knowledge that facebook london has better engineers)

I think what the us has is access to venture capital which i agree is difficult in europe.

A mouthpiece for stopping the snoring. The mouthpiece holds the tongue down and makes sure there is good airflow. The difference in sleep quality is quite significant and it makes a huge difference to my day.

For reference, my mouthpiece cost me around 750 Euros (In 2016) and it was bought in the Netherlands from https://www.snurken.org/

Joe Rogan was talking about it in one of his podcasts too.

Btw this thing is based on country of birth and not country of citizenship. So basically even a person who is a European citizen and born in India cant get a green card before 20 years. Does that change your view?

I recommend a different approach. Start with a little bit of money in the stock market with a portfolio that you are allowed to change every Sunday. Then slowly understand what caused the value of your portfolio to go down or up and how you can hedge against your risks.(Once you lose or gain money you will get the motivation to read fat books dont worry) In the end its all a risk calculation and the faster you get into doing it the better. I am not rich or with a finance background but this is the approach I am following now.

I use notebook and pen. Unbeatable UX!

I'm surprised no one has commented on how unhealthy, unhygienic and to some level immoral the consumption of genetically similar animals is. One more reason we should only eat creatures very genetically dissimilar to us. Eating bats, cows, rats, pigs etc will give you nasty results indeed because their pathogens can attack you very easily as opposed to a fish. (Actually eating undercooked fish can give you a nasty thing called liver flukes so even thats not safe)

The government runs a lot of things better than the private sector. Even in the US, the government loosely or strongly manages Police, National Defense, Garbage Disposal, Water managenemt, Power Management, Internet infrastructure, Education, Telephone, Mail and many more. Any service that every citizen needs to live a healthy life is better and more cost effectively run by the government.

Yeah thats what the gradient literally is defined as = Rate of change. Not trying to be snarky but for me this means not taking the time to learn the basics before jumping into far far advanced concepts. Sadly this seems to be a pattern in a lot of machine learning curriculum today.

> so if one provider tried to charge a price nobody who needed the treatment could afford, they would go out of business

Lets be realistic here. What happens is that most drugs are either actually manufactured overseas or at least can be shipped from overseas for pennies. However due to regulations and lobbying drug companies charge really high prices for the same drugs and they make sure it is illegal to import those drugs. In case the government itself was paying for these drugs it would be much harder for the companies to game the system like this and an individual would be protected from such predatory practices.

> So either we keep paying more and more taxes as a higher and higher percentage of people have the illness, to the point where we are just as badly off as if we each paid our own costs individually,

This is not true if you observe the tax rates in any countries with government funded healthcare. The taxes more or less remain the same but of course there are differences in the healthcare budget.

> This scheme also ignores the possibility of making the treatments cheaper.

Once again the healthcare costs in the US have actually risen quite significantly under the private system.

> This is not the obvious truth you appear to think it is. It is an extremely strong claim which is not at all clearly established by actual historical evidence.

Police and education it already is true even in the US. Even pension has significant regulation. The only reason healthcare is not is aggressive lobbying by private companies.

Well then there will be a variable cost depending on the treatment you need and the prices that the market decides. No amount of money in your bank could give you any financial security as you are basically one accident, surgery or even treatment away from bankruptcy. It could be that this one pill you need is suddenly priced at a million dollars a pill and you cant survive anymore. (Hypothetically can happen in a totally free market).

I for one wouldn't like this level of risk with something so vital to my wellbeing. I would rather prefer that the government took this risk on my behalf of me and just charged me a flat rate throughout my life. (Btw this is the case already in almost all developed countries)

In general there are some things where government intervention is needed. Police, Education, Healthcare and Pension as these things cannot have a totally variable cost decided by a free market.

I think the keyword there was "Extensive". Literally nothing can be pushed to production without being A/B tested.

I find the idea that employers should have anything to do with healthcare quite revolting. Healthcare should be a deal between you and the government for which you should pay taxes. This and some other reasons are why I cannot fathom living in the US under 250K a year.

Satisfaction and Conversion can be so much at odds with each other sometimes. I see this in other markets a lot too :)
