Footnotes are excluded from his analysis and are important.

1 Comparing case rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated populations should not be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 infection. Vaccine effectiveness has been formally estimated from a number of different sources and is summarised on pages 5 to 17 in this report.

So the report warns to not do exactly what he is doing.

Are you saying that because it can’t be proven that you infected someone else, it is okay to put others at risk?

And that since we can’t hold individuals responsible, everyone else needs to alter their behavior?

That is, one infectious person wandering around a grocery store gets to force everyone else to shop online and is not doing anything wrong?

Not a pilot, but ditching as you pass over swimmers seems a bit irresponsible.

The ratio of people with inane checklists who spend their entire day in meetings to people doing actual work exceeds 1:10.

Employees who essentially believe in magic because anything ‘tech’ is beyond them.

Willingness to spend ridiculous sums on outside contractors/agencies to ‘speed things up’ without 1) understanding why that doesn’t work and 2) not rewarding employees working their asses off with no raises.

Not saying no to shining new things in a desperate attempt to increase revenue. Failure to realistically analyze and kill such shining new things post launch when they drive no revenue, but increase technical burden.

Devs constantly hammered as not doing things quickly enough by the same people who don’t do actual work other than above checklists.

Failure to recognize that exception handling is critical in things like Ecommerce and you have folks that aren’t going home until all the 1 in 1000 issues are dealt with because a paying customer is actually expecting a product.

People calling into meetings from poolside or better yet Hawaii acting like they are working remotely.

Thinking that MS Teams is just as good as Slack or anything else.

Man, this has been a hard fucking year.

Bit light on details about how they could help the effort outside of just getting their own employees vaccinated. Amazon might make a bigger impact on public health by reducing its actual level of workplace injuries instead.

My Photoshop CS6 Beta had expired as well. I followed the purchase link, signed up for the discounted $29.99 a month plan and followed the instructions in the confirmation email I received within a few minutes. I ended up downloading a new version of the Adobe Application Manager and then downloading a new (non Beta) copy of Photoshop CS6. This version gave me the option to sign in with my Adobe ID which immediately activated my copy. No serial number required. I think Adobe could make this process more clear than they have, but I can't fault them for delaying my activation.
