What infection?


I don't want to say but she was in the hospital a few times.


That's true for all ideas.

A lot of people, especially smart people, like going "everyone says X, I'm going to try to appear smart by arguing not-X".

And that's how you end up with people in the west going "Russia is the victim of the war in Ukraine! Nato encroachment!", or "they haven't tested the vaccines!"


I’d argue that’s being contrarian - taking an opposing stance just for attention seeking.

This is more like “the trough of disillusionment” on the hype cycle. You’ve suffered so much at the hands of microservices, you want to convince everyone else not to use them. Lots of others have suffered similarly, so thanks to confirmation bias, your post gets lots of likes based on the sentiment.


That haven’t tested the vaccines. That’s why there’s emergency use laws.


"engage in symmetric warfare" - what a pretentious expression.


Well, feel free to go and humbly slap those mafia goons in the face until they leave.


Our time on this planet is short and I choose to amuse myself in my own way. :)


specially because it is asymmetric.


He advocates walking into the club and using direct force, which is pretty much what the mafia does as well. Seems symmetric to me.


Exactly. Nothing makes being pretentious look bad, like being wrong.


Damn that looks really polished.

How does the server know what characters to send so that my specific command line interprets it in a nice way? Sorry if I'm not being very articulate.

EDIT: doesn't work when piping to less.


I'd be honest, my approach is "everything is utf-8, right? And every terminal has at least 16 colors at the ready?". It does not degrade gracefully, I checked. It's more of a party trick than something reasonable, but nothing stops you from doing it correctly, it would just be a hassle to serve in a static way (every variation would require a different txt file to be generated and sent).

> EDIT: doesn't work when piping to less.

try -R


> try -R

works :-)


I'm guessing you're on BSD (or maybe Apple)? Their version requires you to tell less there's a raw data at the input.


No, Debian 11. Fresh install too.


Very strange, I could have sworn I've tested in without -R with Debian 11 (I can't check, that laptop broke and my other machines are still at 10). Maybe it's terminal definition or something changed.

Terminal emulation is a spooking place full of ancient magic. One of the reasons why I assumed "modern defaults". It would turn "a weekend hack" into a session of misery. ;)


> EDIT: doesn't work when piping to less.

What if you pass '-r' to less? (I can't verify myself because it worked without -r for me)


Why do you feel that way?


That's literally what the header means according to the rfc.


plus regardless of the official meaning, how _else_ would you interpret a header that's saying "I'll accept anything". Like the only reasonable response is "cool, here's what i felt like giving you since you gave me no guidance whatsoever and said you could handle anything"


Maybe this is Tesla's strategy. Create fear around the sale of their used cars so that they're the only company that people will buy used teslas from.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.


Whereas other auto companies set high barriers to entry to the aftermarket for used cars of their brand by making them impossibly costly to fix after their parts began to fail, Tesla skips all steps and gets down to the core of how you discourage it: generating fear and ill will. A more efficient way to discourage your "users" from "transferring" your product.


Does anyone know of a good way of searching textbooks? Sort of a search engine where I can type in "astrodynamics" and a list like this would be returned.


The Open Syllabus Explorer? https://opensyllabus.org/

The search results for "astrodynamics" [1] include several of ht ebooks listed above; clicking on the entry for Bate shows the co-assigned books, which inlcudes all of them.

Many universities/professors publicly post syllabi, so if you're willing to dig through course catalogs you can see what books universities are using for related classes.


I use Amazon search for that. I’ve found some great books that way


> The response to monkey pox is bearing that out. A subset of the left (my team) saying “asking gay men to stop having orgies is homophobic”, totally isomorphic to “being worried about COVID is racist against Chinese people”, one of the initial lines.

Asking gay men to stop having orgies isomorphic to asking people to put on masks.


Randy Shilts' book And the Band Played On spends a lot of time on exactly this problem during the early days of AIDS. Closing the bathhouses was controversial and resisted for too long.


Lets also appreciate that second-order effects are smaller than first-order effects.

This particular second-order effect affected 1000 people in 35 countries.


I’d wager the vast (99.95%+) majority of kids who were kept inside to protect them from Covid, have gotten Covid by now or will get it and recover, meaning that will they have Covid immunity AND were denied the opportunity to better avoid this hepatitis infection.


I think you misread the article, granted it buried the lede. The suspect is an instant hit of multiple (in this case two) infections at the same time, when in normal conditions only one at a time would be likely.

The solution to this issue is both unlocking lockdowns more carefully to detect such problems, and deploying vaccines if such a problem is identified.


If the problem was ending the lockdowns, why don’t we just live in a permanent state of lockdown? With mandatory vaccines? Seems like that would work


Not practical, unfortunately. Plus, in typical conditions, neither of the viruses is highly problematic. Only when you get both at the same time you're more likely to suffer, and when unvaccinated to either.

Kind of the same problem with COVID, it can also contribute to a terrible secondary infection. In this case, quite some time after even recuperating from it.


To add to the thought experiment: If it were possible to isolate every single human being (and animal etc.) a considerable number of pathogens would die out.


That's a fake account spinning the narrative.


Not small for the parents of those 1000 children I'm sure.


One of my children is currently very afraid of statistically unlikely events causing him harm or death. Part of life is evaluating choices for likelihood of harm and deciding if that is an acceptable risk.

I’m not saying this or that about the causes that led to this illness, but 30 cases per country is a bit hard to justify as an input to decision making, especially at a community or country level. It’s valuable information, but if we hid under the sheets for everything that affected a small portion of the population, we’d all have bed sores.


Appreciate the irony that the people in favor of taking no actions against covid because the probability of dying is so low are the same people in this thread crying over 1000 people worldwide.


And that's why we need to ban encryption /s.


Isn't the _actual_ problem here the fact that these kids weren't vaccinated against hepatitis?


No because this wasn’t caused by hepatitis virus, but an adenovirus.


Why weren't they vaccinated against that then?


There aren't vaccinations against the common cold.

A better question is, were their immune systems dysregulated from COVID/COVID vaccination allowing these adenoviruses to cause hepatitis?

The paper did NOT investigate this possibility, and the claim that they proved that the two were unrelated is written in weasel speak.

What they showed was that COVID and vaccination did not DIRECTLY cause the hepatitis.

The elephant in the room is whether COVID and COVID vaccination dysregulated the kids' immune systems, allowing the adenoviruses to flourish and cause the hepatitis.

The number of commenters who read the headline and believed everything without reading the study critically is... disappointing.


The number of commenters that miss the difference in scale is disappointing.

This affected 1000 people in 35 countries.

Covid has killed 6 million people so far.


>Covid has killed 6 million people so far.

Based on what definition? The CDC admitted that 94% of the deaths attributed to COVID in the United States were deaths with COVID. The average age of death was the same as the average life expectancy in the US. The average COVID "death" had over two (2) serious comorbidities.

I question your number.


> The CDC admitted that 94% of the deaths attributed to COVID in the United States were deaths with COVID.

100% of deaths attributed to COVID are _also_ deaths with COVID.

What's your point?


My point is that the PCR tests used to diagnose COVID were dialed up to 40 cycles, which results in "positive" results even when there's no infectious material in the person. This caused 94% of the deaths, by the CDC's own admission, to be misclassified as COVID when the true primary cause of death was something else.
