Terraform supports this by setting prevent_destroy = true in a resource's lifecycle, which I discovered after I accidentally vanished an entire Elasticsearch domain—fortunately, though, not prod.


Every country they promised to, which is the core of the matter.

It's one thing to be upfront from the start about how you're going to independently produce vaccine for yourself first, ensuring nobody plans on receiving your production.

It's another entirely to promise to export and then later threaten to hold back.


> It's one thing to be upfront from the start about how you're going to independently produce vaccine for yourself first

It's not even that, it's being up front about paying all the local manufacturers to make vaccines for you first.


AZ was/is shipping vaccine from the EU to the UK. That's what the EU considered stopping.


The EU's local manufacturers were supplying non-locally because they had a contract to do that and the EU hadn't set up such a contract, or a contract at all. Usually, if you've not got a contract then you don't get a say, and usually, if other people set up a contract first, they get supplied first, which is why the EU tried to use other means, and because that jeopardises the most fundamental part of all trade - contracts - everyone condemned them. Quite rightly.

Perhaps you were referring to something else?


Ok, and what is the list of those countries and the quantities that they're getting?

Because from your second sentence it read like an awfully short list if nobody's expecting on receiving vaccine.


> gold standard adjuvants

Neither Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna's vaccines bring any additional adjuvants to the yard. mRNA is inherently immunogenic. This speaks generally about mRNA vaccines and touches on that property, among others: https://www.cell.com/trends/molecular-medicine/fulltext/S147...


> you might think that you can only write applications in Rust and Go using K8s, no JavaScript but Typescript only

Pff. Everyone knows Haskell, Idris and Elixir are acceptable, too.


once you've started on Idris you've crossed the line over from kinky to deviancy

source: there are several people in my weekly support group for exactly this reason, it gets out of control


I would trust any type system that doesn't require me to prove that my sorting algorithm maintains the length of the vector it sorts.


Being in a place can be thought of as a rivalrous good because other people cannot simultaneously be in that place.


>Increasing testing requirements to ensure it does ejects itself away from the LEO

You actually specifically want things to go to LEO before they die; when they're sufficiently low, atmospheric drag takes care of them quickly.

I agree with the overall direction of your point-that we need to be careful about our space junk-though :)


>What's the cost to also fit that carrier out with all of the various aircraft required to make the carrier worth having?

Right idea! The answer is "hardly anything, relative to crewing it for its useful lifetime", but you're barking up the correct tree.


DOD budget is about $350K per employee. A typical E5 (sergeant or PO2 in the navy) makes $3K/mo, or 1/10 of that.


Yes, that's the idea: the price of sitting on a dragon's hoard of cash that's not doing anything is that its value decreases over time, so you are incentivized to actually do something with it.


Your economics are weird. Making a stupid analogy doesn't help it. There are no dragons, just individual people making decisions about how much to save and for what purpose, and when to spend it, based on their individual circumstances.

Holding on to savings is neither positive nor negative, and should be a personal decision based on individual's circumstances (that's where the most detailed information are available about what's good for the individual), not something forced/influenced from the top by blunt whole market manipulation via forced depreciation of value of money, by some committee.

All you've achieved by forced depreciation is forcing people to make needless risks, just to keep value of their savings, while they're trying to save up for something (like starting a business, or buying a flat, or safety of mind). Whole class of brokers, and traders, and lenders, who pray on this situation benefit, of course.


I suspect they get the idea.


For what it's worth, I took up running, changed my diet, and found that both of those in combination did effectively nothing to address my ADHD symptoms. I'm a lot healthier now than I was before I discovered I loved running, but to this day I use medication because it's the only thing I've tried that makes a meaningful difference.


Running and diet improvements did great things for my ADHD, but it's not consistent. I'd fall into slumps due to ADHD-fuelled depression, I think. The stimulants do a great job warding that off and keeping me consistent with exercise. Consistent exercise tends to keep me consistent with diet.

If anyone argued that stimulants are bad for my health, I could only point out that without them, my health suffers acutely through sheer neglect and it's a downward spiral.
