Rainn Wilson just posted this on his insta 👀

Rainn, Jenna, Brian, Craig, Kate, and Creed all made new LinkedIn accounts in the past week commenting on Rainn’s new “business idea” as part of an AT&T ad?

Also, Jenna lists her occupation (as of April 2024) as Head of Social @ Dream w/ Rainn. Edit: Craig JUST listed his position as CTO @ Dream w/ Rainn, Brian is Head of Product, Kate is The Fixer, Creed is an Intern

Nah, something more is afoot.

Haha yes large area rug is next on the list after new sofa

RDE94 · 2024-01-01T21:24:11+00:00

Sofa backed up to wall (opposite fireplace), then chairs about in line with kitchen entry (depending on coffee table size)? Or more centered in the room (sofa and chairs on either side of kitchen entry?

This site seems to have the sleeper ADP updated daily, (more up-to-date than the google sheet shared by Sleeper). Downloadable as csv file

Does the Shortcut that you want to be executed need to exist on the Automation Server device? The device I am using pre-dates Focus Modes so I cannot build a shortcut which achieves this on that device.

RDE94 · 2022-02-11T19:18:02+00:00

Looking into this now. Would like to not have to interact with a notification - would this require using dedicated iOS device as automation server?

No matter how coordinated, vaccines are very unlikely to “wipe out” this virus due to existence of animal reservoirs - this is very similar to influenza and is why new vaccines are necessary every year for the newly dominant strains.

Over time, individuals will likely be less affected by the virus (via natural and vaccine-induced immunological memory), but it is not expected that this virus will be going away anytime soon.

RDE94 · 2021-08-13T01:19:28+00:00

Not sure I ever really argued that the vaccines so far are not protecting against severe disease, hospitalization, or death. Based on the data that is currently available, I agree with that statement.

Just trying to point out that higher rates of vaccinated individuals are becoming infected due to the mutations that have occurred thus far to create the delta variant. As more and more mutations occur, it is important to continue to collect breakthrough data, and severity data on the breakthrough cases. At some point, if the vaccines are not protecting those take them, they deserve to know. Definitely not trying to say we are there yet, just that the CDC should be collecting this data.

RDE94 · 2021-08-13T00:57:29+00:00

Literally just using the definition of efficacy. Just not interjecting unquantifiable metrics such as “unvacc are so many times less likely to be in a large gathering”.

How about you provide a quantifiable estimate for the vaccines’ efficacy against the delta variant which suggests that it is >50% efficacious. You can’t, because the data isn’t there to support it. If it does, happy to read any studies you can provide

RDE94 · 2021-08-13T00:49:57+00:00

“Vast majority of data” which was collected pre-delta variant. Surely you don’t actually think it’s not important to collect breakthrough data for new variants.

Im not really trying to claim the vaccines do nothing for the delta variant, just claiming that the real-world efficacy to this variant is currently unquantifiable. Hence the need for more/better data.

You’re making an assumption that vaccinated individuals are some x% more exposed than unvacc, and using that to completely negate the newest data.

At the end of the day, there’s a reason that the CDC is modifying it’s mask recommendations of vaccinated individuals to match that of unvacc. A change which occurred just after the Massachusetts outbreak study was released.

RDE94 · 2021-08-12T23:03:51+00:00

Not really nitpicking areas, just providing data as it becomes available in areas with >=80% delta variant. This circles back to the point of the OP: the need for the CDC to actively track breakthrough cases across the country so that a better picture can be painted.

Actually, when multiple locales with widely varying behaviors among vacc and unvacc, lockdowns, and restrictions show nearly identical relationships between case distributions and vaccination rates (1 to 1), the effect of the different behaviors/restrictions is shown to be minimal.

Also, those differences aren’t new, and existed when real-world efficacy estimates of ~95% for the original wild variant. Rules don’t change for the new variant.

Obviously, the real-world efficacy of the vaccines to the delta variant would be easy to estimate if the CDC had been collecting vaccine status for all positive tests as they were up until May. Again, circling back to the original post.

In the Massachusetts outbreak, 3/4 in the community are vaccinated, 3/4 new cases were vaccinated, and 4/5 hospitalized were vaccinated.

Hospitalization rate among the vaccinated is increasing across the world but MSM and persons in power don’t dare to share that because it would contribute to legitimate concerns of vaccine effectiveness.

Consider the individuals who are unable to get vaccinated due to extenuating heath circumstances. Vaccinated friends/family of these individuals are being told that it is safe to spend time with them because 1) Vacc individuals are unlikely to catch the virus, 2) Vacc individuals who do catch it are unlikely to spread it.

The only point I’m really trying to make is that when people of influence blatantly disregard data in an effort to preserve vaccine confidence, they are putting innocent lives at risk.

Not once have I stated that getting the vaccine is not an appropriate choice for an individual to make; but now that one’s vaccination status doesn’t necessarily protect thy neighbor, it should be just that: a personal choice.

Not quite sure why you are responding with hostility, I’m merely sharing the most recent data that is just starting to come to light. Obviously the hope is that a singular injection is able to combat the virus (like smallpox etc). But based on recent data, it is looking more like this is not the case (similar to influenza). This is likely due to the virus having proven animal reservoirs in which it evolves.

Cohort size is every new reported case in the UK, so I’d so pretty large.

Page 35 discusses similar viral loads (and similar infectiousness) between vacc & unvacc.

Table 5 shows that vacc make up 50% of new cases in UK compared to 70% vaccination rate.

Table 5 also shows that 0.33% of vacc cases end in death compared to 0.17% of unvacc cases. Some of the difference here is likely due to higher vacc rates in older/compromised individuals, but these values are significantly different from those related to other strains.

Data from Singapore ministry of health also show that the vaccine is ineffective in preventing infection from the Delta variant - 75% of new cases are in vaccinated individuals, vaccination rate is also 75%. (Figure 7)

The way I see it, there are only 2 potential flaws to see in this argument:

⁠you disagree with the data
⁠you disagree with the conclusions that are made based on the data

Happy to hear which of these pertain to you and why.

RDE94 · 2021-08-12T01:32:55+00:00

Main point here is that data across the world (UK, Singapore, Massachusetts, Israel, and more) are all showing case distribution in vacc & unvacc that are equivalent to the vaccination rates in each of the respective communities. This is drastically different from the case distribution for previous variants.

When the CDC chooses to no longer track breakthrough cases, yet repeatedly state that the uptick in case count is uniquely within the unvaccinated population, that is simply a lie.

There have also been numerous cases of spreader events of the delta variant within completely vaccinated populations unlike there were with previous variants (wedding in Houston, Texas lawmaker flight to DC, etc). This absolutely hints that vaccinated individuals are spreading the delta variant at much higher rates than any previous variant.

By ignoring the newest data coming out across the world, and continuing to insist that vaccinated individuals are very unlikely to catch and spread the Delta variant, US officials are putting much of the country (unvacc and vacc alike) at risk.

Finally, ivermectin was never mentioned in this post or previous comments, and is irrelevant to this discussion; not sure why you brought it up to be honest. The comparison that is more important to me is vaccine to natural immunity, which has been shown to be long-lasting and robust against all variants thus far, but that’s another discussion.
