The syphilis thing is true. I've watched a few NHK health programs teaching Japanese people what syphilis looks like because most don't know how to ID it.

Also, I have had doctors just look at me, feel my throat and look into my eyes then give me the all clear at a physical. Like, how do you know I'm even okay just taking a glance?

Kanpou is something I have tried with limited success. I think it works on a placebo effect rather than actually curing you.
if, as a UX designer, you don't have opinions, then all you're doing is blindly optimising for metrics that may have nothing to do with actually good experiences. This is why platforms like twitter and facebook are such cacophonous trashfires: UX "Designers" chasing "engagement", and holding no opinions. you might as well just hand your job over to an AI, you're contributing nothing to the process.

> I was banned almost immediately from the Bernie subreddit for asking why he's running on a platform of getting money out of politics while at the same time being the most aggressive campaign when it comes to requesting donations.

It seems like you were rightly banned for being deliberately obtuse. Pretending that there's no difference between grassroots small money donations and the kind of money that Sanders wants to eliminate from politics is straight up trolling. Even if you believe that both categories need to be eliminated, you didn't start with anything resembling a lead-in to a reasonable discussion on the matter.
Much of this kind of attitude (where it can't substantiate claims concretely) is a type of fashionable nihilism masquerading as environmental concern. It serves as a kind of jaded virtue signalling too. This isn't to say that we shouldn't be worried about various aspects of the environment and human habits, or that we shouldn't individually and collectively push for better use of resources, but to simply claim we're lost as a species and discount all notions of us being capable of continuing to improve human well-being with better technology is both cheap and ignorant of centuries of real progress that have no reason for not being able to continue or improve in real ways..

Is there any indication this would apply to all ISO/NSOs? Can't read the WSJ article (no subscription), but articles referencing it seem to be saying that it's targeted at highly-paid executives. Obviously this would be disastrous if it applied to all stock options. Just trying to get the facts straight before getting too riled up.
I think their point was it should be paid from a public fund instead of by the individual business, although I suppose most businesses must have sick pay insurance to pay this, do they not?

> They lay eggs called “dividends”

only if the hen is actually laying! What if farmer Joe called you up, and told you that people are selling their hens because there's a hen disease going around, and making hens stop laying eggs (at least temporarily). Keeping hens isn't free, so you too, can decide to sell. But may be only hens that have the propensity to catch the disease - some hens are strong and lay eggs.

The analogy isn't, and only serves to illustrate one point of view. The fact that people _are_ selling, is saying something.
Great, Hetzner has unlimited bandwidth (well, 320TB since the port is 1gbps).
It's really hard to be critical of your idea and to be super enthusiastic and passionate about that idea as well. In theory, this works but in practice it's super hard. I have tried it. Either I'll be super exuberant and tend towards over optimism or be super critical and get demotivated like you've mentioned.

I think allocating a specific time to poke holes in an idea might really work.

Another option that I have found helpful is external validation. You talk or demonstrate your ideas to outsiders and they are generally critical of your demonstration. This can be an eye opener some times. You as the idea originator, can then take a real hard look at the critical feedback and test out if that feedback really breaks the idea. There will be a ton of armchair criticism that you can ignore, but you get specific pointed criticism that is super helpful.

Even better is to have a co-founder or someone internal who can take a critical stab at your ideas. Of all the reasons that are out there for having a co-founder this might be the most useful one, especially for experienced folks. It is a bit tricky to make this kind of co-founding relationship blossom though.

Just the average basic combination of smartphone in the pocket, microwave oven and small electric oven in the kitchen and electric heating in the home do the work of literally dozens of people 500 years ago. For a king to heat their castle at night (or anyone to heat their home) required hours of very hard work. Getting timely information of any kind would have required the same, and couriers, court philosophers and so forth, and to make a basic hot dinner was hours of work even for modest mealtimes.
I think I know how to fix food waste :): Everyone learns to cook and eat their own food. We decentralize the food system. It's disturbing that we come to rely on other people's cooking our food. When I buy and cook my own food, I find it very hard to not waste food. There's a lot of planning to budget my own food for the week. For businesses, they need to plan for change in volume as well as making money. Then it's an easy call: optimize for money, food waste is not a problem.

The foodservice industry is huge. Recently, there's a new trend: software eats the food industry. We'll continue to waste more food as we try to make more money.

Most great dishes are invented by the people, not corporations or governments, except maybe Pad Thai. We'll have more great food if we put our own creativity into food. We don't have to declare war on anybody. We just cook our own food.
why not try 10,000,000 times the usual dose. let's keep going!
That's a fun visual and I never knew about it, but can't help but immediately think about the 'Hey Mom! How are you doing? You look obese. Your arteries are completely clogged.' analogy of self-destruction in humans, even though it's not a great comparison. But I think aliens or a higher power or some more evolved species would look at many things humans do - or don't do - and think we're brain dead.

I think it's about the idea that blindspots are obvious to everyone but the being with that particular blindspot.
^^ This is exactly the answer! The positive predictive value of a test changes based on the prevalence of the disease in the population. With rare conditions, you can end up with way more false positives than actual positives, which can cause actual harm to people.

"Outbreak" and "Contagion" both depict mass outbreaks of deadly viruses, and the social impacts of implementing last-ditch control efforts. There's a certain point where panic about an epidemic is more damaging than the epidemic itself, and I worry we're approaching that point with coronavirus. When everybody is freaking out is exactly when we need to enforce good public health practice, not throw it by the wayside and go full wild west.
Coronavirus far more likely than Sars to bond to cells due to HIV-like mutation
Are there not 35mph roads in SF? Every artery in LA is 35mph and between 8pm-4am and 11am-2pm you are expected to be going 45mph lest you be aggressively tailgated and immediately cut off by some asshole in a Bellinger jersey.
I like to think that police and military personnel have family and friends they care about too, and aren't soulless robots ready to gun down their fellow men and women who they took vows to serve when they joined the force at the command of a suit in Washington. Think, if you were them, what kind of world would you like you, your family, and friends to live in? I find that enough of them would make the right decision that if the PEOPLE fought back, they would have a winning chance. Think about the rest of the world too. Is Russia going to sit back and do nothing, when they could be funding/supporting those rebels against the U.S. government instead? AND they can do it from the moral high ground too, since they're helping the oppressed rebels against a totalitarian government. Extra power.

The U.S. was founded on rebellion. And I believe enough Americans would readily backstab an illegitimate U.S. government (one that has stopped serving its people and instead serves itself) in pursuit of good.
Agreed with everything you say.

Despite the nil enforcement, they strictly follow red lights. I'm surprised it's not more lawless. In N. America I ask people "What do the police do?" and locals answer "speeding tickets". In France, I never get a clear answer.

While "It isn’t because French drivers are better." may be true for safety, I do find their drivers far more predictable than N. American drivers on highways.

They'll stay in the right on the highway, unless passing. And when they finish passing, they'll go back to the right. With signals.

At least in S. Ontario, drivers pick a lane randomly, and stick to it for ??? reasons. Signalling after its clear what their intentions are (ie: not a "signal" at all). Not uncommon to see drivers on an merge onto an open highway, and immediately start multiple lane shifts with nothing to pass for miles ahead.

It took a while for my French handlers to get me to stop angling my wheel while parked because of the bumper cars you mentioned.
Saying the market went up 30% last year is a little deceptive. There was a sharp correction in December right before the year started and it was down like 15-20% from the high in September

A small, cheap electric car with a 70km range in a dense European city makes a lot of sense to me.

The speed limits in much of Europe are really low. In the USA we're used to driving pretty fast on 2 way roads with wide lanes at over 80kph. That's not much of Europe.

I've driven over 5,000km here in Scotland just this month. The speed limits in most cities are about 60kph, and usually the max is 45kph. It is completely normal here for people to share a single lane road to drive a car, ride a bike, go for a run, and walk their dogs. It's just different than. America where every street is a temple to the car gods and walking on many streets is both weird and dangerous.

When I drove in Denmark in 2017, I would travel around the area outside and of Copenhagen where the speed limits are often 50kph max. For example, from Copenhagen, Denmark to Lyngby while avoiding highways...

...takes about 19 minutes (at 6 a.m. Friday, 28 Feb, 2020) to go 13km. You just can't drive that fast in the built-up urban setting.
> need to draw down their stock at the worst possible time

then they're over invested! If they don't have spare money to invest, they shouldn't be. If you lose your job and have to sell stocks to pay rent, then that money shouldn't have been in stocks in the first place. The stock market isn't a place to park emergency money. It's a place you put money _after_ you've paid for necessities and topped up emergency reserves, in the hopes of getting a greater return.
Thanks. This is very informative. I completely agree on future misuse, but I'm also not sure how to put any of this back in the bottle. What regulation are people proposing that would prevent compilation and sale of this kind of data that is accessible publicly on the internet?

Is it the government use of the tech, or the fact that the company exists in the first place that is upsetting?
As a user mostly use windows. I always find the ui discoverable of mac problematic. I really have no idea why do they like to hide most used things like move file, show hidden under keyboard shortcuts and don't have a option to force them permanently show up. As in windows, they are either already show up or exist in some obvious item like `setting` and you can toggle things here. You rarely need google to find out what's going on. But has in mac you need to press random keys here and there is no obvious visual indications that you can do so. I really curious about how mac user before google exists find them out. Or they simply not?

If there’s one area where macOS has lagged behind Windows for decades, it’s in making all menu items accessible using the keyboard by default (not forcing the user to go to Settings and setup a shortcut, which is very nice). In Windows, pressing Alt and then the underlined character in a menu name and then a submenu name would be the easiest way to get to things without even knowing any other shortcuts. On the Mac, many menu items don’t have shortcuts attached to them. To get to the menu bar using the keyboard, you have to hit Cmd+F2 and then use arrow keys to navigate — it’s useful when you can’t use the mouse or trackpad, but it’s highly inefficient.

I’ll list just one example of not having default keys for menu options. In Preview, you can adjust the size of an image from a menu option. But that specific menu option, among others, does not have any shortcut. If you need to access it via the keyboard, your choices are to use Cmd+F2 and then crawl around or go to Settings and setup a shortcut for it (playing around to avoid conflicts with any system wide shortcuts).
They say in the article that you linked that it looks like 20% of cases are severe and that the mortality rate is around 3% (though that is probably high because we are still early on in the epidemic). Last flu season around 1.4% of symptomatic cases ended up in the hospital and less than .1% of symptomatic cases ended with death. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html

As for the 5% permanent lung damage figure, ARDS is found in around 20% of cases with mechanical ventilation for around 12.3% (https://www.uptodate.com/contents/coronavirus-disease-2019-c...)

Survivors of ARDS often have decreased quality of life including lung damage and cognitive issues. I wasn't able to find percentages of these issues in covid-19-related ARDS survivors though.

If you're suggesting that something like a chess engine is intelligent then we might as well call a forklift intelligent because it can lift boxes I can't lift.

Pretty much the opposite is true. Virtually all progress in 'AI' has been in pattern matching and purely numeric or symbolic manipulation of simple objects or functions, we aren't even remotely close to 'breath life into a machine', which is what people like Vinge had in mind. And people like Minsky when he invented the term artificial intelligence.
He points out elsewhere that dividends tend to remain steady even when the market goes up and down.
Bees are super cool, but [2] doesn’t say a glass wall, but describes a more physically-involved process.

From that link:

> A bee lands beside another one who had already pulled a string for reward, gaining the reward without pulling herself/himself.

> The observer learns to associate the other bee with reward and typically begins following her/him around, keeping in close contact as they walk.

> The observing bee would be in direct contact with the string-pulling bee throughout the pull, usually not touching the string, although sometimes ineffectively manipulating the string herself/himself as well, and ultimately gaining reward through the other bee’s efforts.

> The learners progressively change their foraging behaviors from observers to competent string pullers.

I do think there's still something to be said against the "there's nothing to worry about", which is that people do lose jobs and experience other repercussions during a recession. It's only in the case of investing - and prudent investing, at that - where there's nothing to worry about.
I think these systems would be applied less toward real-time shoplifting and more toward investigating and preventing repeat or systematic fraud, e.g. "hot exchanges"

(https://consumerist.com/2017/04/18/man-steals-11000-in-stuff...)

Using Home Depot as a retail example, more and more, when you walk into their stores you may find cameras with signs boldly stating that "you're on camera" in aisles, at self-checkout registers, and at customer service desks (i.e. return desks).

These are meant to be a basic deterrent, but can also be used for investigation related to returns abuse/fraud. Many retail stores have allowed customer returns without a proof of purchase.

In some cases, they provide cash refunds, below a certain dollar amount. Most stores now issue gift cards/store credit, which can still be resold on card exchange marketplaces, ebay, etc for most of the card value ~90%.
Not only that, but the Chinese economy had been teetering along on lots of debt spending. They have avoided a recession at all costs, and that doesn’t make for a very situation when the economy gets stressed, let alone with this huge shutdown. At the same time, the American economy keeps getting juiced by tax cuts, low interest rates, and lots of public deficit spending...

Hopefully this is just a correction, because the alternative is scary and all too likely.

Microsoft will probably port VBA to WASM. With the mass of all MS Office dll involved, this can grow huge.
The menubar doesn't make it more discoverable. If it did, the users in the article would have thought to look there, but they didn't. Nobody bothers with that anymore. This was not obvious to me until I saw people getting used to iOS programs where menus don't exist. The menubar is good at showing you a soup of options but is really bad at contextualizing it. The problem shows up in MacOS programs where they stuff all the contents of every context menu into the menubar just so they can say that it's usable with one mouse button. Well if you do that, the context behind all these actions and the locality of information goes away!

Even in simple programs like the finder there is global application state that can cause some menu items to arbitrarily become inactive. The action itself might be discoverable, but the state that it relies on isn't discoverable at all. Take a more complex application with massive 50-item-long menus and it gets ridiculous. The menu doesn't communicate at all what an action means or when it should be used. In that situation the only thing the menus realistically exist for anymore is a learning tool to help memorize keyboard shortcuts.

Side note: I didn't think I would be approving of Microsoft designers on something like this, but I think their "ribbon" UI has been a good step away from giant crazy menus.
Atlassian Team Playbook: list of practices for teams
Has the US' public capital dropped 10%? No. But prices are the discounted expectations of future profits, and future profits are suddenly less than we expect them to be.

But it could be worse than that. How long did it take the economy to recover from the Black Death? At least 100 years. If too many people die, then yes, the public capital has actually been significantly damaged.
As they say, in the long run we are all dead. But ya, economic recessions and corrections are like cutting away dead flesh so the healthy tissue can thrive: in the long run it’s good, but their is pain in the short term.
during 2008, many companies cut dividends.

The reason sometimes dividends don't get cut even if the market goes up or down has more to do with the real economy - but presumably discretionary spending related businesses would get hit during a virus induced recession, but essential goods related companies would continue to do OK.
It's a genuine thing for people these days to misuse the phrase "exponential growth" when they just mean "really fast grow". I don't the hyperbole was strictly intended.
This vehicle seems to be made specially to be under 45km/h limit to not be a car and be a four wheel "scooter" class. In my country (in Europe) they don't have technical inspection, insurance is way cheaper and if born before '91, you don't need any license or don't need full license.

I assume the there are also less requirements from manufacture side, that makes it easier and cheaper to produce.

If it would be 60km/h you can not make it at this price point, because you are making a full car. And then there is no reason to limit it at all.
They are already popular here, where I live and are much similarly priced or even higher because of the lesser requirements for getting around.

I can see it as perfect second car for city in my hometown and would buy it.
