More information needed. Mandatory for whom? Who’s mandating them? Under what conditions does the mandate apply? Are there exceptions? If so, who approves and confirms qualification for exception? What are the penalties for noncompliance? Which vaccine is being mandated? Who pays for them? Is a single does sufficient, or are booster shots mandatory, too?

This is a simple question. Not an alert.

But to answer you it depends on which government will apply it, and on who.

This arises primarily from the nature of MOS transistors which are used to build everything, even the basic logic gates are made from such transistors.

With CMOS there are two switches (transistors) in series and where they meet is the "output" by design only one of these switches is ever "on" (which is where the term "complimentary" comes from, they switch on/off in opposite senses when they are activated).

When a state change occurs then the transistor that is on goes off and the transistor that is off goes on, imagine two mechanical switches geared together so the when you switch one on the other goes off and vice versa.

There is a problem though and that is that the transition from off-to-on or on-to-off is never instantaneous, it takes time, perhaps picoseconds but there is a point in time where both switches are half on and half off, that means some current is flowing - very briefly - through both switches and that is where the waste comes from.

In a static digital circuits CMOS consumes close to no power at all, no transistors are passing current power is only consumed when there are transitions, other technologies can switch faster (or this was the case, not so sure nowadays) but always consume some power whether a switch is on or off.

So with CMOS the higher the clock rate the higher the number of times we get this half on/off state and so the higher the number of times current is flowing.

Originally, TTL and CMOS are true all-rounders integrated circuits. TTL technology is tending to be replaced by CMOS technology.

TTL is the abbreviation of Transistor-Transistor Logic , with Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs)
CMOS is the abbreviation of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor , with Field Effect Transistors (FET)

CMOS in computer science is a special memory chip on the motherboard that stores and maintains BIOS configuration settings. The CMOS RAM is battery powered to ensure permanent date and time indication and to save configuration settings, even when the computer is turned off.

It is true that CMOS microprocessors were manufactured in the same way as INTEL technology in the 1980s. CMOS technology will ensure the commercial and technological future of MOSFET in integrated electronics, but will be liquidated in 2001.

Not to be confused with MOS technology

Here is an example of microprocessor architecture: von Neumann architecture - Wikipedia
Here is another example of microprocessor architecture: Intel's 4004 First microprocessor on the market, the first successful integration of all the functions of a processor into a single integrated circuit. 

But to answer the OP, apart from a software resource greedy in CPU, I do not see. Indeed the activity of the CPU is done by software instructions. No software, no resources (around ~1% for computer peripheral activity)
 

PS: I re-edit the MOS Technology link that wasn't work.

If you agree with the author:
This would imply that complexity can’t be the result of randomness. But if it’s not randomness that could have determined the path of our evolution, which would lead to us, human beings, what’s the non-random factor directing this evolution, then? Or consider of the universe at large, and the 'anthropic principle'. If our Solar System, and its place in a fine-tuned universe, can't be the result of complete randomness, what's this supposed 'non-random factor', then, if it exists at all?

Nature uses a subtle selection of random combinations.

If each typist monkey created a universe for each of them, then the result of the likelihood of finding a combination comparable to our human brain would be unlikely.

Indeed, nature follows a well-defined pattern. Which one is it?

“The null hypothesis is that nothing, zero is a physical reality based mathematical conception which we can perceive as an energy, matter, information, space, time free state.

I state that in proportion to this physical reality based sense(conception) everything has some kind of mathematically expressible value. Space, time, information, energy, matter. 

The hypothesis is based on the fact that space expands and time evolves which points that our current moment is bigger and older than the moment before. Following this path backwards on the timeline of the physical reality we arrive at the lowest possible physical state, which I perceive as a space(time), energy, matter, information free state. 0. In proportion to this state everything has value. Everything has mathematically expressible value. Space, time, energy, matter and information. “

There is a difference between nothing and zero (philosophy of zero).

Abstract
Zero provides a challenge for philosophers of mathematics with realist inclinations. On the one hand it is a bona fide cardinal number, yet on the other it is linked to ideas of nothingness and non-being. This paper provides an analysis of the epistemology and metaphysics of zero. We develop several constraints and then argue that a satisfactory account of zero can be obtained by integrating (1) an account of numbers as properties of collections, (2) work on the philosophy of absences, and (3) recent work in numerical cognition and ontogenetic studies.

But I didn't get an answer to the Physics content of my post.

 

But I would go further than anyone else here and declare that a box which contains exactly nothing is impossible as a self contradiction.

Let us say this 'box' has sides of 10 cm by10cm x 10cm that is it has a volume of exactly one litre.

So it has the capacity to contain one litre of whisky.

Now capacity is an abstract noun, to be sure and an old fashioned one to boot.

But a noun it is and therefore a 'something'

So by studiot's theorem

"Every empty box contains something."

 

The definition of nothing certifies not to have a volumetric size? If so, 'nothing' is the smallest and non-existent quantity ever seen.
 

17 minutes ago, iNow said:

Temperature is a measure of movement. If there’s nothing in the box, then nothing is moving, and if nothing is moving there is no temperature by definition. 

I confess.

I made a mistake in associating the temperature with nothing.

So move some nothing is therefore not possible, since there is nothing.

Does the term 'nothingness' might be more appropriate? In this philosophy section?

Quote

"Nothingness" is a philosophical term for the general state of nonexistence, sometimes reified as a domain or dimension into which things pass when they cease to exist or out of which they may come to exist, e.g., God is understood to have created the universe ex nihilo, "out of nothing"

“nothing” doesn’t have a temperature

It's the story of a box at room temperature where there is nothing inside. Only emptiness, no fields. You tell me now that this nothing inside has no temperature since it is nothing?

The single definition of nothing is a complex philosophical subject proper to the term.

But can the quantification of this volume of nothing be expressed by this box?
 

@swansont You are right. In its proper sense moving from nothing is therefore not possible, since there is nothing.

But figuratively nothing is something.

If I move a box with nothing in it, does the nothing move with it?

I think I found a something (a physical value) attributed at this nothing or empty. A measurement can therefore be made of this nothing. Sometimes this variable result can change according to its movement or location.

Right after that is the conclusion

“Receipt of vaccination with either an mRNA or adenoviral vector vaccine was not associated with a worsening of Long Covid symptoms, quality of life, or mental wellbeing.

It's a good start.

 

But if you are based on these results from this investigation:

Conclusion

The results of this survey should reassure people with Long Covid that their chances of experiencing
an overall worsening of their symptoms after vaccination is small. More than half saw at least some
improvement to their symptom status. Since COVID-19 vaccinations appear to have the potential to
improve the wellbeing of those with Long Covid as well as provide protection from reinfection, we
recommend that more structured, longitudinal trials take place in order to confirm and expand on
these findings, together with further research on possible mechanisms.

No difference in response was identified between Pfizer-BioNTech or Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines."

This is comparable to a handicappe of a large part of people who were not. Covid damage cannot yet be assessed at all socioeconomic levels, but it will be significant. But more than half of patients who suffer from long-term Covid would see their state of health improve from the first injection of the anti-Covid vaccine.

Yes but out of 23, only 3 have gone to hospital with it. My 93 year old father got Covid at his nursing home after being vaccinated, too. But he had no fever, was just rather breathless for a week (no oxygen needed) and lost his appetite, and then made a full recovery. 

UK experience with the Delta variant is that the vaccines are effective at preventing serious disease, provided you have had both shots. This finding seems to be based on the rates of hospital admission since the Delta variant started to spread. Collecting data on whether vaccines prevent a person testing +ve is harder to obtain. I have not seen any numbers on that.  

The people in nursing homes are very fragile and their immune systems are weak. It is not surprising that they can catch the virus after being vaccinated. What matters is how ill they get. The vaccines do seem to help, considerably, with this.  

Yes the Delta variant is not virulent for most of the vaccinees.

My remark is more oriented on the durability of the virus itself.
 

Will we all be vaccinated and the covid will still be there? And evolves to the vaccine-defying variant?

With the entangled probes they are able to receive and communicate data instantly and so the space barrier could be solved pointing out that distance isn’t really a barrier.

The principle of teleportation uses quantum entanglement. Mathematically, to be upstream of the source, that is to say the singularity, is intersserant insofar as one breaks the laws of the celerity of the light during the measurements of the entangled pairs, due to the distance which separates them thereafter. Remember that you are only allowed one measure of the entangled pair.

The question is whether a superluminal teleportation is possible by the 'unknown mechanism' of the information transfer of the entangled pairs. See EPR paradox - Wikipedia

Could the government(s) in the world have used the lockdown-covid to be able to better channel, structure and observe the people through technologies, on the same principle as the freeze atoms (cryo-ME, laser,...)?

The census and classification of the different types of people profiles could have been done thanks to technologies such as GSM and Internet since a physical interaction between people had become impossible. Better learning of people and their way of thinking could have been digitized.

The gelation of atoms is used to be able to immobilize the electronic activity, in order to be able to visualize their structure.

Indeed, the increase in human activity has been observed in certain digital society such as GAFAM, or other like electronic messaging, during this period of lockdown.

This subject borders on the paranoia of mass surveillance already denounced by a certain whistleblower.

What do you think about it?
