The same thing happened the next week and the miser again accepted the free teaspoon.
The week after the poor man asked to borrow the miser's gold candlesticks, because this was the last week the suitor was in town and he really wanted to impress. The next day he informed the miser that the candlesticks had sadly died.
The miser, furious, dragged the poor man in front of the rabbi to demand justice. But the rabbi, listening to their story, concurred that since the miser was happy to accept the baby spoons, he must likewise accept the death of his gold candlesticks.
I was expecting the author to take a copyleft direction and comment on all the absurd things we allow oppressive licensors to get away with in the modern digital era.. Oh well, another discussion for another time, I guess.
> In 1956, an illustrated book was created by I.G. Edmonds, an American military officer. Published by the Pacific Stars & Stripes, it was called Solomon in Kimono: Tales of Ooka, a Wise Judge of Old Yedo.[4] Edmonds' work was published in 1961 as Ooka the Wise, and then in 1966 renamed The Case of the Marble Monster and Other Stories and made widely available to American schoolchildren by the Scholastic publishing company.
Perhaps GP read the story thanks to Edmonds.
(However, legal dispute resolution is about the effect on parties, not physical "reality".)
In short, no.
Or the restaurant should be fined for letting it’s smell escape the confines of its kitchen.
The OP history is the same tune: if you want your light and your wifi just for you, just install blinds and harden you router. And then try reach an agreement with your neighbor.
Moreover, preventing the smell from escaping from a restaurant might be difficult in areas or times where A/C isn't as common...
i.e. in another story, the neighbor could have hated the smell of the restaurant, and demanded compensation for the restaurant, and compensation was the sound of jingling coins.
This was a story told to us in the beginning of widespread vaccination, but is disproven since we have evidence that vaccinated people can carry and spread the virus. The story changed to we are less likely to spread it, but there is also evidence for similar amounts of virus in vaccinated people, so I take it with a grain of salt given the history. (multiple reputable sources readily available on Google)
It's important to know and spread this information as it means that even though vaccinated people protect themselves from harsh symptoms they still have to be careful not to spread the virus.
But how does that affect my conclusion that the vaccinated still have to be careful and herd immunity is unlikely to be a thing? A false sense of security is a problem in itself.
Yeah right, gonna have to see a reference for that. Is it 'some vaccinated people have been found with equivalent amounts of virus' or 'on average they have the same amount of virus'. Because they're vastly different scenarios.
> For people infected with the Delta variant, similar amounts of viral genetic material have been found among both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people.

Surely probability of transmission is the key factor determining whether vaccination reduces the spread of the disease?
Do you want to be known as the sort of person who claims "it's in the literature" but never provides cites?
Or do you want to be known as the sort of person who says "it's at this link"?
Unless you have gained name recognition, HN is a series of games in which you can decide to play or not in any given round, has limited but real downside (in terms of fake internet points), and not very limited upside.
So you can get away with being a defector on occasion, but it's much better to be a cooperator.

"If you actually isolate virus from people who are getting a secondary infection after being vaccinated, that virus is less good at infecting cells,"
"all 37 case patients for whom data were available regarding the source of infection, the suspected source was an unvaccinated person."
The way it went, there was a poor man who lived above a restaurant who subsisted primarily on rice. He discovered that by eating by his open window, the smells drifting up from the food cooking below would add flavor to his meager meals. When the restaurant owner discovered this, he became angry and demanded payment from the poor man who naturally refused. The restaurant owner pulled the poor man before a local magistrate demanding that the magistrate force the man to pay. After thinking for a while, the magistrate asked if the poor man had any money, which he did. The magistrate then directs the poor man to jingle the money and said that the payment for the smell of the restaurant owner's food was the sound of money.
I can't retell it nearly as well as the original, which is probably online somewhere but not anywhere I know about ... :(
