I complained to the maintainer about this a year ago. Ofc, they are free to ignore my complaints but ppl not liking the logo redesign is not news to them

The homeowner’s assertion of vampire’s abilities gives an implicit permission. If the homeowner says yes he can, who would override that? Belief is a powerful thing

On the side of legally mandated vaccines, lots of countries mandate vaccines without religious or personal exemptions. Only health based contra-indications can be used an excuse to not have them (for kids/mothers).

Other countries even have legal requirements of vaccination to work in certain high risk professions (health/child/communal/elderly care) or travel (eg: meningococcal for Hajj)

Having a govt which makes only good decisions is not just important for vaccines but also other parts of life. Your doubt of seatbelt having no downside is not completely correct. It has a well-documented and unaddressed substandard to negative impact on people with non-standard size/weight/shape.

Your doubt is what make me think this vaccine hesitancy is deeply social, not just personal. It is not seen in several societies

Some Tesla models have a higher than 0 chance of driving you into a truck or median in auto mode (or catching fire or trapping you inside due to malfunction door but that’s just the design language of the car) as compared to you controlling the car. People still jump at driving one with FSD (the marketing term)

I think the phrasing and giving statistical info might be the problem? Eg: if I wetr yo give you a choice between a fresh tomato and a slightly less fresh, but all-natural tomato. Ofc, the other tomato might also be all-natural but the mere fact that I gave extra info changes the deal, as if I’m giving you a secret.

People seem to be losing all semblance of a social contract. Need to enforce every minor thing via over the top legal force.

I see the angle. Thanks for explaining.

I find the fact that “vaccines as a voluntary action that comes with a twinge” to be very weird.

Both parts: (a) Voluntary action for something that should be legally mandated like wearing a seat belt or using specific construction materials or layouts or an engineer to pass the house design: all the rules that are written in blood. (b) Twinge of doubt for something that has been so successful in the past. Choosing to drive a car (with or without a seat belt) isn’t seen as something that comes with a twinge of doubt that an accident will happen (though statistically that’s more likely)

Trolley problem is just a pros and cons list made visceral. If the pros don’t outweigh the cons there’s no point. Before we even bring morality and mortality into this the amount of pros are different for different people to make a decision (even as non visceral as changing a job).

By using much smaller numbers, you are giving a false impression of vaccines. Instead of 1 vs 10k, saying 1 vs 100 is similar to me asking if someone would switch jobs if salary is 100$/year difference when it might actually be 10k$/year.

I’m not arguing against your premise of Trolley Problem but against the numbers. As humans, we can still fathom the difference between 10, 100 and 1000. These aren’t big numbers which get washed out into nothingness of ‘big’.

At the bus stop. Yeah the timetable and my mobile say bus in 1 min, but I really need to validate my phone is correct because I don’t SEE the bus. Where is it???

I’m gonna steal this

The numbers you’re using are nowhere even close. You need to severely increase the ratio by 2 or 3 orders or magnitude.

Mortality rate for some diseases is close to 1 in 3 (measles in infants with co-morbodities) to 1 in 100. With vaccines, we have changed that to 1 in 10k or better (with co-morbodities).

For the live virus polio vaccine, 3 out of a million kids would get polio DUE to the vaccine itself. That is peanuts compared to 50k kids (per million) who get polio despite the vaccine. That’s also peanuts when we see that reported polio cases fell from 350k around 1990 to 30 around 2010 despite a huge increase in population.

¿Por que no los dos?

This. Chromebooks weren’t built with repair/refurbishment in mind. Moreover tech has moved fast enough that 10 years lifetime makes it really difficult to maintain supply chain (hw,sw both), specially with Google itself dropping support for older OS (Chrome OS was treated slightly better than Android)

This person isn’t wrong. I know most of school funding comes from property taxes which means more prosperous regions usually have schools with better funding. Moreover per family children are fewer (statistically) in more prosperous families. This makes the schools have more money per student in already prosperous communities.

Federal and state grants may skew this but these have not been >2/3 of funding for a long while

Legally this might be the same as intentionally deleting evidence. Rigging up evidence to be destroyed could be considered as intent of evidence misconduct, and some judges might not consider there to be a semantic difference given the intended end result to be the same (IANAL but the US judges are crazy)

Their sales and especially enterprise sales team are good at convincing people that they really need MySQL. Once their pitch works, then come the lawyers and the nailing part

DO NOT ANTHROMORPHISE LARRY ELISION

Not really. If he has permissions for a temporary install, it is above board. He just needs to get a permanent permit before moving to a long term generator instead of temporary fixes.

Should the permissions have been blocked? Now that’s a diff question
