Something else to consider is that while a person may die while having COVID-19, it does not mean that is all that they died from.
People in general may have several health problems, which is especially likely for an 80+ year old person.
Some healthcare activities have also been postponed since the outbreak, by the patients and also the hospitals, which may have led to less healthy people.
This is indeed what Table 8 shows. The vaccinated skew elderly, and while slight more vaccinated died, they were at a much lesser risk of dying for COVID. According to that data, over 32 times less likely for their age.
Yes, the address is clearly chosen to lend credibility, as if the ”owners” were already well off, in no need of making someone else part with their money…
> That's a huge exaggeration. In what other field can a bright kid take a 12 week bootcamp and get a job that pays $80k?
They did specify "outside of a couple of tech giants in the USA".
Here in Europe, €30K would already be a good starting salary.
Personally, 10 years in, I don't expect to reach €80k.
My first tech job wasn't event at a FAANG company and I made $110k right out of college. My next job was at a ~1,000 person startup and my salary was bumped up to over $160k.
Maybe it's a Europe vs US thing but it's definitely not the case that salary is poor outside of tech giants.
I find it amazing how many different software development frameworks are out there.
After all these years I still haven't bothered to look up what React is, and I probably will never need to.
I will probably never get to maintain a codebase that uses it.
So if being 'up-to-date' isn't something I will go for, how do I measure myself as a developer? I think I will go for something like 'having made a lot more regular people happy than I have frustrated'.
Yeah I spent some time with raw javascript, jQuery and angular, but React is the first web framework which actually feels like a decent solution to the problem of how to build interactive web applications, rather than just being another hack.
Yep, I just received it on my phone, which wasn't fun because I was listening to music, my phone blasted the emergency tone at full volume through my earpods. It really hurt :(
Anyway, good to see that the emergency system works. I just received a second message with a whatsapp number and twitter handle which you can use in case of emergency.
Oh shit -- it was a really loud jarring sound, it must have been painful. They have recently started sending test phone alerts at the same time they perform the regular first Monday of the month noon emergency alert siren tests in Amsterdam. Maybe you should set an alarm just before then to make sure you're not listening to music!
Oh, I'm using this since early 2000s. And I've subscribed to several channels like location, emergency, tourism, football, weather. Most of them don't work. I get location messages regularly but they make SMS like sound. And my LG G5 doesn't have special sound settings in Cell Broatcasting app. So it looks like wheter you have the alert sound depends a bit on what phone/software you are using. I though that there is a new protocol. But anyways, I like cell broatcasting.
I feel like that is a pretty significant issue with the alert system, and could cause legitimate hearing damage. If you have headphones in, it should be assumed that you are paying attention and don't need to be woken up, and play at low volume.
Strange thing is that it didn't send it over my Bluetooth headset as I wasn't listening at the time.
>> it should be assumed that you are paying attention and don't need to be woken up
That assumption is false. Last week we got one for likely dangerous smoke and we had to get out of the smoke and close all windows and stop ventilation in the house. You might want to wake up for that as some people use the headphones and fall asleep.
That's true, it is possible that someone could be sleeping with headphones in or something, but I don't think that is common enough to justify potentially giving people hearing damage. Maybe as a compromise it could play at the current volume (or lowest volume if volume is off) through headphones, rather than going up to full volume.
Facebook and Twitter are social media companies. I don't think they count as technology companies the way i.e. a company that creates water purifiers and solar panels and such are a technology company. And those products are made in many countries other than the USA.
For me, Firefox on Debian, the only working shortcut is the Menu (which is not actually a menu in the normal UI sense, more like a menu in a restaurant).
Shortcuts are always difficult with web apps.
For this reason, I would always add an actual clickable menu to web apps.
From the description I'm sure that is the correct painting. The title in the original language is "De Gierigaard en de Dood". A simple modern translation would be "The Greedy Man and Death", there is no reason to translate it as "merchant".
Apparently there is a book devoted to the subject of accountants in the arts from 1400 to 1900: "Art & Accounting" by Basil S. Yamey.
