throw_nicoon Israel may have achieved herd immunity against Covid-19

Key phrase, since we're talking about long Covid:

> Of those not admitted to hospital, 20-30% experience at least one enduring symptom around one month later and at least 10% three months later;

Still, not "very low"...

throw_nicoon Suez Canal: How are they trying to free the Ever Given?

Or perhaps the wording was off as their (my) reason to copy-paste most if it from something they wrote a minute before that on another and highly relevant thread.

Take your pick.

+ It does work: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wuVxvQh9Khy7xdIpgCNfVAdo4Dq... ^^ and without some downsides i read first ( eg. keeping the balance of the ship or putting additional stress on the structure of the ship)

Just interested in what the problems and potential solutions are on that scale.

throw_nicoon Suez Canal: How are they trying to free the Ever Given?

Wow, that's harsh.

If I'd explain it as using cofferdams ( temporarily structures) to raise the water instead of the traditional lowering. Is that better for you?

I'm 100% sure that using simple solutions to hard problems is not always thought off when something is not used in it's "traditional" sense.

Sometimes outsiders give another POV that could be actually useful. And sometimes it isn't.

No need to get rude for that... Perhaps try some constructive feedback on why it shouldn't work next time? :)

PS. Before you misinterpret my words again. I'm saying that the concept is simple ( raising the water level), not the execution of it. Since on this scale every solution is harder to execute.

Edit: It's already been confirmed by another poster that it should work in theory: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26587692 ( with pro's and cons)

Can you ask him what he thinks about using cofferdams for raising the water level ( instead of lowering it).

I'm actually curious in hearing potential problems or ( if it would be plausible) a raw estimation of duration ( since you mentioned 20 weeks, that's a huge timeline).

Edit: I don't know anything about this subject. So it's interesting to learn/ask some stuff I wouldn't encounter otherwise.

throw_nicoon Ask HN: AWS account expires in 2 weeks. Can't login, but they keep asking me to

Thank you! This led me to the path of changing my default messaging app.

The default one of my mobile OS didn't seem to show all the messages!

I have never had any issues with my provider. It's the biggest provider in Belgium and Belgium is not known to censor text messages.

So I think this possibility is really low. I'm pretty sure it's on Amazon's end, other verification messages always worked fine.

Doing an additional test though ( sending works fine, testing receiving now)

I don't have 2FA activated. I literally don't receive a notification and the phone is fine.

I'm 100% sure the email is correct (they emailed me there that my VISA is expired)

This step? https://imgshare.io/image/image.NB4Yvn ( that's the screenshot of my mail from 2 days ago fyi)

I thought it was weird that I'd be the only one with this issue ( i didn't find any related info/similar issues online)

No, it's my own number since i was 16 ( x 2 now :p)
