after a look at the FDA page on the correct process (don't have access to the original article's references, so i will assume they used the FDA document):

you are dead in the upcoming flu outbreak if you 1. use glasses, 2. sport a beard, or 3. happen to be a kid.
I doubt the photon is truly fundamental.

I've mentioned this recently in another thread but I'm pretty sure E=hf is hiding information and the units of plancks constant are wrong.

I think the equation should be

E=htf where h is in Joules/oscillation (quanta of energy) t is measure time and f is osillations/second.

Check out Juliana H.J Mortensen's work.

The upshot is that in this model, every oscillation of light carries the same energy regardless of frequency. This supports wave particle duality even more so than the current model, and takes the uncertainty out of the uncertainty principle.
Thanks for the feedback, I never tested it on mobile, that was my oversight.
So the mask group was also competely confounded with being infectious disease specialists? Perhaps there were other precautions besides masks and hand washing that they were taking due to their training, even if not explicitly. Still interesting, particularly given the widespread appearance of "don't bother with masks" articles these days.
I bought one of those as well, although it was a knockoff brand, it's great when travelling since it's about the same size as my MacBook. I wish I invested slightly more, the brightness on mine is terrible.

The small reductions in image size still pale into insignificance compared with the gains they'd get if they just cut 90% of the crud out of every imgur page load. In the past few years that site has become exponentially more bloated and resource intensive for zero apparent gain (to the users anyway).
Skeptical that what is done from an entirely neutral/altruistic perspective?
But N95 masks aren't cheap and AFAIK must be disposed after one day of usage. So they must be reserved for the medical workers, while the other can use 3 or 4 layers surgical masks, which should provide adequate protection.
Phrases like "honestly", "nothing fancy", "glorified", "any cs student" all convey (at least to this native English speaker) that whatever is being discussed is being looked down upon.
Maybe I’m just dense, but I certainly have not been productive with any language on day 3. (Not even Ruby, which feels comfortable faster than most languages.) I sometimes felt productive that soon but I always end up having to rewrite once I learn the language fully.

I’ve learned enough languages that I can spot “a person’s first program in X” now pretty easily.
Yes, it’s (obviously) legal to fire people who arbitrarily refuse to do the job they signed up for. How could society possibly function otherwise?

This is definitely untrue. There are plenty of young people willing to save roughly no money for the early years of their 20s by trying to make it in the big city in a flashy career. I know several who don't get any financial support from their parents (and certainly don't have generational wealth). The most you can say is that people who have parents that _require_ financial support aren't able to take this path, but that's a significantly smaller group.
No.

They are pretty cheap in bulk when not in the middle of a supply crisis. Like a dollar or so each.
I think the market prerequisites are a key point overlooked by the article. There has to be some application where a low-performing version of the invention is already useful for it to be worth it to develop better-performing ones. For example, in the case of Watt's steam engine, versions were already used for the application of pumping water out of mines [1]. This application made it economically worthwhile for Watt to work on his improved steam engine. Of course, once the improved version was available, it found many new applications beyond the original one.

There are strikes at UCSD and UCSB.
As other Londoners and observers have mentioned here, supply is already constrained regardless. Visiting friends there I'm always shocked at the quality/value of housing in London.

In a city that refuses to increase supply the point seems quite moot about bringing in regulations which stifle supply. The regulators and local communities are already stifling it.
The article clearly states that more than 54 students striked.
It does include them. I saw the chief investment officer mixed in amongst the MDs.
Problem is it's getting hard to repair with the more electronics added to the appliance.

I have a clothes dryer that is from the 1980's. It's huge, but very simple construction. Dries clothes really well.

It suddenly stopped heating. Two new $5 natural gas solenoids from Amazon, and 20 minutes of time to swap them and I was back in business.

>Many people with money but without insurance do go and get b*tch slapped later by their ~$10k-$200k medical bill. It’s a reason why medical debt is the LEADING cause of bankruptcy in the US.

Only 4% of US bankruptcies are because of medical bills https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2018/0... . A tipoff that [insert large percentage here] of bankruptcies aren't actually because of medical costs is that only 6% of bankruptcies by those without health insurance are because of that cause. The biggest cause of bankruptcies is lack of income, which health insurance doesn't affect.
Internal policy changes regarding how they report the news. I somehow doubt they would care enough to report how they are changing internally if anyone but Trump had won the election.
"It's dead, Jim." I had that stuff with 128Kbit/s|16KB/s at home up to around 2004, and shudder at the thought of having an upgrade or patch release of any application, or OS over that. Apart from that, every telco everywhere is discontinuing service for that, or has already done so long ago. The whole "ecosystem" of line technology is gone, not produced anymore. Only surviving niche are internal installations where some gateway translates whichever VoIP to some internal S0-Bus, and the long obsolete phones.

That was that. What was your point again in this context?
A cursory examination of Craigslist shows that you can easily rent a nice 4 bedroom house for $4000/month in Santa Cruz. Get a couple of roommates to split the rent and you're only paying $1000/month.

Perhaps Arjona should consider that she could have more money for living expenses if she was more economical with her housing choices. After all, she was the one who chose to sign a lease for $1700/month on a $2200/month salary, when cheaper options exist.
Still 25 times more expensive than 3 layers surgical masks, which costs like two dollars for 50 pieces.

Oh yeah and I don't live in the US so my definition of 'expensive' can be different.
I’ve heard imap is insecure. I’ve disabled it by default but this is intriguing. Anybody have any more information on imap security?
Yes - that is what I noticed as well. The two populations have different levels of expertise re: dealing with airborne infectious diseases; different frequencies of hand-washing; and no masks vs. masks. There are just too many confounding factors here to draw a conclusion (in isolation) re: mask effectiveness.

Edit: in addition, the departments used to dealing with airborne infectious disease may have had specialized protocols and policies that the other departments did not have.
The problem from the university's perspective is that while $13M is a low-ish amount of money (by university standards), the university has no reason to believe it would "put the problem to bed." If the university backs down, the strikers will be able to dictate any terms they want in the future, and any such strikes (i.e. illegal ones) would certainly have many more participants. The disruption to university operations could be severe.

And this is why unions exist in the first place and make binding contracts - no one wants to make a deal with another party when the other will arbitrarily decide the deal isn't good anymore and act like fools contrary to the terms of the contract.

If they are so rent-burdened, they should consider living with a roommate, or perhaps 2 or 3 roommates. Then they would be more easily able to afford basic necessities.
“Why can't you buy a mask?”
The US has 12 million N95 in stockpile, another 5 million N95 that expired.

The US has 30 million surgical masks in stockpile.

The US needs 300 million N95 masks for medical professionals. [1]

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/28/us-mulls-using-sweeping-powe...

Therefore it is rational for public health policy to reserve high quality masks for medical professionals, regardless of their effectiveness for the general public.

I wonder how many masks they can manufacture a week in this emergency.

This isn't technology, but the supernova of 1987 [0] confirmed our understanding of supernova physics, and gave us useful bounds on the mass of the neutrino. Even today, it gives stringent constraints on new hypothetical particles, which would have changed how the supernova played out. Unfortunately, we might have to wait decades to centuries for the next one.

GFN isn’t selling games, so they need to be more willing to degrade the free tier.

Stadia is selling games, so the service should do its best to get out of its users way as much as possible.
The output gets more torque, just like a capstan allows a person to amplify tension on a rope. Maybe this will explain better than the wikipedia page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ailf7bz9H0o

Do you disagree? Why do they need permission? You own the game on Steam, or buy it on Steam, and they just give you a VM to play it on. I don't need their permission to get a new computer, do I?
I'm not convinced either... but I'm also not convinced that things are so dire for Stadia either. Vocal minorities, etc.

well, Maslow's hierarchy is a theory, and not without controversy, though i think you're on to something here personally.

however, it sounds like they're prioritizing productivity, which may be a proxy for money or success at this point in their lives. i'm not opposed to it.

it's also really hard to maintain less deep friendships without presence so if you're moving a lot those are likely to go away. though i do think nomads undervalue roots and community, but i imagine many of them discover that after some time, or are OK with it and keep traveling.
Oh damn you to hell!

I cannot see a james Burke show/presentationwithout being sucked in and watching the whole thing. It’s just not possible. Even if I’m just walking by I get sucked in.

The "really clever design" as noted by simonw was called "nothing fancy at all" by ComputerGuru, and that haveibeenpwned's API design "hasn’t done anything remotely ingenious", this is what made the comment pretentious. (in this case it doesn't matter wether he is or not factually correct)

The reply could very well be interpreted as "You think that Kk-Anonymity is fancy? How primitive of you. This way is the natural way of doing that thing and I would know because I'm the smartest person in the room. Oh by the way I dislike people who are pretentious."
To be fair, Epic's approach doesn't require many resources other than just money. Hell, for the longest time their store literally did not have even a "search" function, and I'm pretty sure it still doesn't even have a shopping cart. Software development takes time, but they mostly bypassed that and went straight into giving out free games. The games themselves already exist for PC, Epic didn't need to do much there.

The case of Stadia is wildly different, because it requires a lot more engineering, both from Google and the developers. They also need a lot more resources per user, as each active user basically has their own dedicated cloud instance running the game. Scaling that up and giving that out for free isn't as trivial, even if money wasn't an issue.

So I don't think it's an apples to apples comparison here. We'll see what the demo looks like once Stadia actually releases it, what we have so far is really more of an early access to test out the infrastructure.
Just for the people who are denigrating Tulsa and how it may be a backwards place for kids' schools. I graduated from a public high school in Tulsa. In our graduating class, we had students accepted to Harvard, to MIT, Yale, Penn, Michigan, and Duke. In the graduating class after mine, we had 3 accepted to Stanford. This was just one public school district, although definitely one of the best in the city.

I am not sure that there are that many cities with public schools that can boast such placement.

George Kaiser (the gazillionaire who started the foundation that pays for this program) is a very active Harvard alum in addition to being an impressive philanthropist.
In 1992/3, right after I got the University of Washington's Computer Science & Engineering dept. onto the web (after faculty outrage based on a NYT article about physics departments and this cool new thing) ... I wrote an extension for Netscape that allowed it to display DVI files natively :)

Just think what could have been!
I don't disagree that universities are horribly corrupt, extractive institutions squatting over responsibility for a system that creates an immense amount of value for society (academic research).

But the claim that "a PhD is a necessary step to _specific_ well-paying and fulfilling careers" isn't incompatible with the GP comment's claim that intrinsic motivation makes people shoulder these crappy conditions, just like (eg) actors. It's pretty well-known that PhDs are, on average, _terrible_ career moves from a self-interest and financial perspective. This is common knowledge among literally everybody I've ever met who has any exposure to academia. Hell, Piled Higher and Deeper has been around for more than _20 years_; my university's paper syndicated it.

Just like struggling actors, PhDs put up with low pay and bad conditions to take a shot at something they want to do, with the additional wrinkle that they're (nominally) increasing their human capital in a way that a failing actor isn't. Nothing about your comment rebuts the GP comment's claim that there's nothing unique about academia in this respect.

I think the other problem with Stadia, and why both consumers and developers are wary of it, is simply due to its streaming idea.

Even within major cities, internet connectivity can suck a lot. Couple that with data caps, and streaming games becomes a chore to play. Nobody wants to play a game that “buffers”( we already have to deal with loading screens! )

I don’t think this is feasible in the States, and even other western countries.

The exception would be Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, where there are no data caps and internet is much faster and cheaper. The market is different, however, so I don’t think there would be much success.

And then there’s the ownership argument.
So imagine this:

- someone subscribes to consumer reports as a disinterested third party.

- he starts investigating midsized cars

- every advertisement he sees after leaving cu is for midsized cars.

I think giving advertisers and manufacturers access to the paying customers of consumer reports is a conflict of interest.

If they are getting money only from the customers, what possible reason would they have to put googletagmanager links throughout the site (among others)?
If you are concerned about someone reading your emails in transit, make sure you use TLS. IMAP is standard; as far as I know, almost everything uses it.
Not that I'm aware of. Most of the time when I talk about this topic it gets downvoted pretty hard. Part of the program not covered in the article was to train the population that anyone questioning those policies is the usual litany of bad words. I was very careful this time not to even hint at the content of the article. That seems to have helped.
That appears to be a clickbait SEO blog. I couldn't find any primary sources for your claims. Did you have a link?
This is pretty interesting.

> Early designs for desalination plants... have an energy consumption of over 9 kWh per cubic meter.

> Many early SWRO plants built in the 1970s and early 1980s had an energy consumption of over 6.0 kWh per cubic meter of potable water.

But it doesn't go on to list the comparable performance of the newer post-1988 patent designs (except to say 98% efficient). Do you have any idea what in terms of kWh/m^3 that converts to?
Also worth noting that the Port of Long Beach is literally next door and handles 40% of the volume of the Port or Los Angeles.
Hedging is only effective when you don't need it. Sort of like home insurance - you don't buy it when you house is already burnt down - the premiums will skyrocket and it doesn't do you any good.

> Not sure what you mean by "it's not a concept."

You said it yourself above, when you try to define consciousness clearly
and non-circularly it just kind of goes away as a concept. That's
because it's the inconceivable medium of concepts. Conceptualizing consciousness is
like trying to play silence on an instrument. You can't do it except by
leaving it alone.

> I certainly don't see how "you", "here" and "now" are synonyms of
consciousness, nor is the use of the terms indicative of consciousness.

Well, work on it for a while.

You are that which is conscious. Everything else is content. You are always "here" and it is always "now". Subjective awareness. Even in dreams "you" are always "here" and it is always "now". Have you ever not been here? Or existed at a time that isn't now?

It's not something you can think out or solve, it's a matter of perception.

Pretty cool to see it moving away from the sun at about 12 miles per second while moving closer to the earth at about 4 miles per second.
It's a matter of taste and ultimately subjective. The camp that disagrees with this approach lumps these sorts of behaviours as seeking validation or neediness, particularly in the broadcast mode. Show, don't tell and all that. In the 1-1 mode, it's passable as long as there is some relationship and context where this exchange would make sense.

Yeah, same. But it does help a lot having a professionally developed project with lots of high quality, real world examples of how to do things.
> I'm not a Fortnite person, but they don't have that, nor Apex.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't yet really have cross-platform support? Without that these games wouldn't be very fun. Also, I don't think Stadias current model is really designed to work with F2P games. Maybe if you have a Pro subscription that can pay for it.

Really though, what we have right now feels like an early access, and it's unfortunate how poorly they marketed it. Like, it makes no sense why I can't even use the controller with PC/Mobile wirelessly yet. The issues you mentioned too, all those things sound like they will be eventually fixed, but right now what we have is clearly unfinished.
If 80% of people who get this are fine, 20% aren’t fine. Some stats suggest 14% severe, 6% ICU. Someone’s going to have to be taking care of all these categories of severity.

One scenario is home care, with only the severest cases transferred to a medical facility. In that scenario, the “general public” may need to be healthcare providers.

My background is freelancing/consulting where it's not uncommon to gather diverse individuals to work on a greenfield project.

There's an implicit assumption that all participants know a thing or two about programming, and accordingly are apt learners.

So yes, on day 3 the code won't be perfect, neither on day 6 but after a few code reviews one can get stuff done.

Improving their stock price is exactly what they've been spending their reputation on by doing this - if the stock price had also tanked then this strategy would have been an absolute failure on every axis. It's undeniably bought them better numbers in the short term; the argument is that they are killing their long term potential.
(which of course could kill still many millions of people, assuming you mean that the mortality rate is comparable to flu once you're infected, but that the transmissibility is much higher)
To be fair, the profs were usually world class experts in their respective fields, and the quality of graduate-level classes was really high.
