I usually see this statistic about family businesses. In the USA a family business passing through 3 generations is rare.
My personal observation is that the 4 generation has so many better options than the family business is holding them back with responsibility and the family unity has broken down through generational grudges.
One thing that has annoyed me with some personal implementation work is why does DAP use a cosmetically similar but not following spec version of JSONRPC? Why not just use JSONRPC especially considering LSP already does?
Because of organizational disorganization within the VS Code development teams. LSP and DAP are basically the VSCode APIs for implementing language support and debuggers but bolted onto an RPC layer without synchronization or consistency between the people/teams that develop them.
I would assume DAP predates (and possibly motivated) JSONRPC (edit: so it might have been working off of a draft spec). Hopefully someone knowledgeable can comment.
I have yet to see any real data on this phenomenon outside of anecdotal stories, so I'm also in the same boat re: group hallucination. Would be interested in seeing some more substantial evidence.
> A study ... suggested it may be driven by an inflammatory response associated with SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein, which the messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines coax the body to produce. The group reported finding certain antibodies in both vaccine-induced myocarditis patients and patients with severe COVID-19, which itself can cause myocarditis.
If those who had this reaction to the vaccine gotten COVID without the vaccine, would it not be likely that they would see the same inflammation response and the same heart damage? If that were the case, receiving the vaccine still seems like a reasonable choice.
Consider the magnitude of the immune response. In someone with pre-existing immunity the virus may replicate relatively little before being killed. Compare this to getting the vaccine, where your body will be flooded with spike protein whether you have previous immunity or not.
Exactly. And the most plausible explanation for the large variation in number of VAERS reports by lot number is that poor quality control meant some lots were "hot" and led to excessive spike protein production.
I got severe side effects from Pfizer vaccine and so did my spouse. We still didn't fully recover more than year later. We got vaccinated at the same Costco on the same day. I did it because of pressure from work as I had covid before. I didn't expect any health benefits, but I didn't expect year later I still have regrets to fall into trap.
My family hasn't yet, and we're far from cave hermits — we just pretty consistently do smart, reasonable things.
Around 25% of children and adolescents who get COVID-19 will get long COVID, the long-term effects of which are not well understood. I have no plans to surrender to "fate" and to stop doing smart, reasonable things.
I don't think the rate is that high. I think it's closer to 3%, give or take a few, right now, with an order of magnitude more cases of partial recovery of acute symptoms over time.
Which IMO is still insane, but I don't think it's 1 in 4 level of bad.
We're only, what, two years in? Give it a couple more. "Doing smart, reasonable things" only reduces the odds, not put them at zero. Iterate enough times, and the cumulative odds approach 1.
FWIW I predicted that would be the situation in like March 2020. This isn't some new forced narrative, at least for me.
There is not, and it pains me to hear people reinforcing that narrative. There are immunocompromised individuals within my family that have significantly higher risks of complications than the next person. For this reason, we take every precaution to avoid exposure and transmission. We have been fortunate to remain COVID-free so far, but please remember that there are lives hanging in the balance.
But… they did. It effectively keeps most of the vaccinated out of the ICU.
> 4 in 5 COVID-19 patients in intensive care are not vaccinated against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The chance that a fully vaccinated person will end up in ICU due to COVID-19 is 33 times lower than for a non-vaccinated person. : https://www.rivm.nl/en/news/4-in-5-covid-19-patients-in-icu-...
> n this cross-sectional study of US adults hospitalized with COVID-19 during January 2022 to April 2022 (during Omicron variant predominance), COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates were 10.5 times higher in unvaccinated persons and 2.5 times higher in vaccinated persons with no booster dose, respectively, compared with those who had received a booster dose. Compared with unvaccinated hospitalized persons, vaccinated hospitalized persons were more likely to be older and have more underlying medical conditions. : https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...
And I could link up a dozen similar studies and reports that all say the same thing: the risks from vaccination are low, the risks from Covid are an order of magnitude greater.
You have made this fraudulent claim twice. Along with, it appears, promoting a conspiracy theory that renegade researchers developed it as a bio weapon. You are, in my opinion, a terrible person, worthy of condemnation and dismissal.
>And I could link up a dozen similar studies and reports that all say the same thing: the risks from vaccination are low, the risks from Covid are an order of magnitude greater.
Without absolute numbers, your "analysis" is meaningless. We're talking about seven deaths amongst teens.
>The study noted that about three-fourths of the teenagers in the study had other medical conditions, such as obesity
Not being fat is an excellent way to avoid having a bad time with Covid. Shame that the official advice caused many people to spend the last two years sitting on the couch, eating pizza.
It is undeniable that the vaccine kept the most vulnerable out of the ICU. It is also very true that healthy people under about 45 were at minimal risk from Covid.
It is not my analysis. Every damn research paper shows that the unvaccinated are hospitalized and dying at rates many multiples higher than the vaccinated.
As for the sin of being fat that you find so unforgivable, if the goal is to reduce hospitalization and death, that is going to be infinitely easier to accomplish through vaccination than by trying to convince the country to get fit.
If you're at risk of a bad time with Covid, get vaccinated. Simples.
>As for the sin of being fat that you find so unforgivable
Simple cause and effect. The study you linked said so - if you're obese, you're much more likely to go to the ICU with Covid. It is strange that all of the public messaging designed to "keep us safe" did not include any component to look after our bodies, which would have significant benefits when it comes to fighting disease.
This is just a frontend for AudD, no? Nothing wrong with that, but I got really excited for a moment to see open source, fully local music recognition software.
Yeah I'm super interested in that idea as well. I wonder if there are already some initiatives in the US doing stuff like it? Would it be as simple as setting up a server in someone's house and then splitting the cost of electricity and internet? Would a multiuser setup like that work under a personal internet line, or would most ISPs try to shut it down?
We used to do this in the late 90's (when there were less hosting options in general). A bunch of us at work wanted to run our own sites and experiments online, so we pooled our money and built a server that sat at one of our houses. At first we just got a static IP for the server, but eventually as more people at work joined, the guy who had the server in his basement got a T1 line installed.
We all just split the cost of internet and server upgrades, etc, which may have come out to like $40 a year or something on average. We probably did this for a decade or so until the hardware got too old and there wasn't as much interest in maintaining it all.
While I just have a VPS now, I do miss that old server and all of us working on it, and literally being able to do whatever we wanted with it. All it takes is a few buddies to get together and try it out. Experiment and see what happens, let it grow organically.
