> It's pretty crazy how cheap hardware is compared to the cloud these days

By “the cloud” I’m assuming you mean aws/gcp/azure, and comparing them simply with on-prem is a false dichotomy. There are plenty of other cloud and bare metal hosting providers who actually pass on the savings as hardware value improves.
Sorry, I should have phrased that better; it's more like, having numeric digits as part of the type name that immediately follows the value throws me.

So something like this (rust):

`16i32`

Compared to something like this (C#):

`16i`
>The first amendment came from this tradition and implicitly makes the assumption that only governments are big and powerful enough to control speech.

On the contrary, the First Amendment makes the opposite assumption, that only the Federal government should be prohibited from controlling speech, implying that the power to do so organically devolves (as do all powers not explicitly granted to the Federal government by the Constitution) to the states, the people, and by extension any private enterprise created by the people.

>What happens if your opponents systematically attack anyone who speaks ideas they don't like in an organised way, but they aren't the government?

That's what free speech is. If you don't like that, fair enough, but people being able to organize and oppose ideas they don't like, as well as exercising their freedom of association both to choose with whom they will and will not associate, is the way a marketplace of ideas in a democracy is supposed to work.
Thank you very much for the clarification and for posting there! Yes, it is but one explanation and one possible reason out of many. I think others there have mentioned stress (I believe I read one 27 y/o doctor sadly dropped dead after working 10 days straight) and contexts such as existing immune system health (I've read a good number of stories of outbreaks in hospitals in addition to this nursing home story).
Care to share a source?
AFAIK the details are unknown (e.g. what constitutes the boundary between the “measuring” system and the one that’s being “measured”), but the “alive”-ness of the observer is definitely known to be irrelevant.
Yeah, been there Ton-That. I knew I had heard that name in the valley before. Of course he's connected the usual list of amoral SV actors (PT), questionable politicians (Rudi and Richard) so working with law enforcement after writing phishing tools and worms for the iPhone is the usual next step... for shady law enforcement.
Labor is expensive. The cost difference between OEM and aftermarket parts is small.

If the aftermarket battery is fine, you only gain a little. If the aftermarket battery disappoints, you lose big. So it's cheap insurance.
In the case of ARDS (which is what the sickest coronavirus patients end up with), it's actually that expiratory pressure that's important (you wouldn't want to configure the CPAP to drop the pressure on exhalation).

With ARDS the lungs fill with fluid, which causes the little sacs in the lungs (where gas exchange actually happens) to collapse and 'stick' closed. The higher 'baseline' pressure[1] helps keep them open.

[1] This is known as "PEEP" or "Peak End Expiratory Pressure", i.e. the pressure in the lungs at the end of exhalation. For ARDS/pneumonia patients, you want high PEEP.
It is his usual inflated post that manages to say very little with walls and walls of text.

I don’t see what folks find valuable in his writing. On top of that I find his recommendations to be bad since better alternatives exist but they obviously don’t fit his monetization strategy.
We have the history of searched terms, but do we have the search results from that time?
Like you say, if you are over 70 and get it, your mortality rate would be more like 10%, even with these lower numbers.

> This makes a lot of sense as the earliest numbers were based only on people presenting severe symptoms, and huge quantities of people with nCoV are completely and totally asymptomatic.

Isn't another possible explanation that it simply takes very sick people a few weeks to die from it, so if you start counting a week farther back then the confirmed-then-died rate will be higher? (Due to undercounting of people who are going to die from it but haven't yet.)
Do you have an example of Python doing implicit type conversion?

If you're talking about parsing speed, Dyalog is slow because it has a much more complicated grammar, and because it stores the execution stack in the workspace in order to make stack overflows impossible. If you're claiming k or Forth is faster for large array processing, I'd like to see some benchmarks. Do you have a citation for Moore on the instruction cache?

Leap days are an edge case by themselves, it doesn't need any extra thing special about it.
Payobilz vs. NNU – make some money in Africa
That's predicated on things actually looking encouraging if you scratch the layers deeper than what the graph is indicating.

There are few actually-qualified folks talking openly about this kind of stuff (See https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF9IOB2TExg3QIBupFtBDxg) which is as close as I've been able to find to an unbiased, qualified interpreter for the information coming out.

The overall impression I get is 'this thing is pretty bad, there are prudent measures that can and should be taken to limit spread and slow rates of infection to prevent services becoming overwhelmed. So far measures have been inadequate leaving us facing into a worse situation than could have been'.
How to Properly Integrate AR/VR with Your Learning Management Systems

From same report: "6.1% [of infected] are critical (respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction/failure)."
This does not look like the kind of thing you can treat DIY style.
Person doing PhD in AI here (Ive seen all of OpenAI's research, been to their office couple times, know some people there) - tbh the piece was a pretty good summary of a lot of quite common somewhat negative takes on OpenAI within research community (such as that they largely do research based on scaling up known ideas, have at times hyped up their work beyond merit, changed their tune to be for profit which is weird given they want to work in the public interest, and that despite calling themselves OpenAI they publish and open source code much less frequently than most labs -- and with profit incentive they will likely publish and open source even less). The original article also presented the positive side (OpenAI is a pretty daring endeavor to try to get AGI by scaling up known techniques as they are, and people there do seem to have their heart in the right place) .
Why is there any matter in the universe at all? New study sheds light
Agreed with syncthing. I replaced Dropbox on my devices, but it's not as simple to set up, for sure. But it works, when you get it up.
Hussein did a good job of keeping his thumb on the region, yes. But... when we took Iraq and Afghanistan, it was farmers with AK47s, Toyota Hilux trucks, and fertilizer IEDs.... when we “left” Iraq under Obama, we came back to ISIS with US military M16s, US Humvees, and high grade explosives.

We didn’t make ISIS... we just armed them very well (via Iraqi “security”).
My father owned a tree service in the town I grew up in. We spent countless hours driving around town, looking at different trees and giving estimates for trimming and removal. I could imagine leveraging this data as almost a Zillow for trees.
It’s not to signify a difference, but to expand coverage. I wouldn’t want to argue with someone saying “I was sarcastic, but not snarky”.

There are many comments ending with /s to signify sarcasm or even /sarcasm or such. It’s easier to point out a transgression when the user has agreed in his mind or his words that he was in fact being sarcastic.
Layman's guess. It probably has to do with conservation of energy and momentum. To form a molecule, you have to change the energy state of the electrons in both atoms, and in order to do so you have to respect the conservation laws, so I guess it takes a third atom to absorb/provide the required amounts of energy or momentum.
In the mid 1980's I attended a library sale. I bought a collection of Science News magazines that covered the whole year of 1959. For those of you who don't know that was the International Geophysical Year. I don't feel like digging it out right now, but there was a short piece about a scientist who was studying the effects of carbon dioxide on the climate. I did not find a follow up article, but it does demonstrate that this has been going on a long time. Just because your old doesn't mean you haven't considered it.
Add a heatsink and fan. You'll get better performance.
Honestly surprised that Louis Rossman hasn't been mentioned yet. If you need an iDevice repaired, he's a good guy to handle them, and some of your proceeds will likely be spent fighting for right to repair legislation.
They could use TestFlight to distribute apps that are not on the public App Store. Not the Developer Enterprise program.
I was amazed by Italy and Spain. A lot of options, bread, beer, in Cafés.

Here in Germany it is getting better from a store point of view, while restaurants are still rare. organic stores often gave a good selection, but now discounters have it too.

I think about 1% of the population have some kind of intolerance, while true celiacs disease is much rarer.

Personally I started baking with gluten free flour, shifted to more rice as a carb. But for kids it is super hard. It is now essentially part of your job to educate other parents, family and teachers. Stay strong and be aware of stuff like gummy bears as they sometimes contain wheat flour.
>Some people's job requires them to have a phone on them, should they have to choose between a job and privacy?

How would being able to take out the battery help? I don't think your boss would be pleased if you were on-call and your work phone's batteries were taken out.
Personally, I just want water resistance for protection against accidents. I'm careful, but I've spilled a drink on my phone. I know people who've bent over and had their phone fall out of their pocket into water.

I don't trust water resistance well enough to intentionally get the phone wet. But I do think it's probably good enough to greatly reduce the odds of damage in case of an accident.
Naccchio and Qwest aquired US West.

You skipped the part where he acquired a competitor under false accounting, contributing to monopolization, as dumping his stock with irregular sales while to profit from value NSA contracts before the public knew they were canceled. Should a CEO make a fortune selling stock while the company loses 90% of its market cap?
Effective Steps to Cracking the Code Interview
There is a lot of good intentions here but we did run a very large scale experiment for 69 years on about 300M people. It was called the Soviet Union and the results weren't pretty economically for the people. So the concern remains how long this can last, how brittle is this and how much can it scale.
The sibling replies by IggleSniggle I fully endorse as supporting my meaning in the original post.

As to explaining more about my thought process: You asked a hypothetical "what if" question which, given the question itself is imprecise, I interpreted as you wishing information was always conveyed to your desired precision/accuracy, and extrapolated that (given this is a public forum) into general communication.

I shared my thoughts, specifically that it seems impossible for a person to always communicate perfectly to an unknown audience, and offered a different hypothetical. The last line explains the punctuation use in my "what if."
Unix systems usually do not have extra seconds after 23:59:59. Leap seconds are normally dealt with by slowing your clock down. So Unixes use neither UTC or TAI, they use something else.

It's something that does not matter in 99.99% of the cases, and that other 00.01% need specialized hardware and software for dealing with it anyway.
Points of View – A Tribute to Alan Kay

He was happy to get paid hundreds of millions of dollars for spying on his customers, but didn't want to spy on his customers? What did he think those contracts were for?
Can you elaborate, you think it was flawed because the reporter didn't get unfiltered access? The piece is still based on tons of interviews and it seems to me that reporter is pretty aware of conversations going on within AI research (she attends our conferences and the like), so I thought it was pretty much a decent summary of common criticisms and positive aspects of OpenAI (as per my other comment on here).
The message was addressed to "Barcelona readers", i.e. readers in Barcelona. But even if it hadn't been, do you think your comment would really contributed something helpful?

In case of Afghanistan, it is not just "maybe". Packing up and go home - is a clear win for the US in Afghanistan.
> Apple Developer Enterprise Program should only be used to distribute apps within a company.

As much as I dislike the privacy invasive things that Clearview is doing, I don’t like Apple’s power to ban people from running whatever software they want if they’re not using the App Store or asking for endorsement or review by Apple. If you’re distributing your software privately and independently of Apple (i.e., not through the App Store), then you should be able to do whatever you want. We don’t want a world where car companies get to disable your car if you carried something in your car that they didn’t like.
Theres all that and then the fact that the ventilator itself can make you sick. The number of patients (among hundreds) I have known on long term ventilator support that didn’t have a case of pneumonia in five years I can count on one finger.

Not to mention ventilators will damage your lungs if not correctly configured.
Mine (Italy) did not react professionally at all, in particular in the crucial first days, where there was a huge confusion and contrasts between local and central government (a paralyzed government who was mostly concerned about a majority party leaving or not leaving until up to this crisis).

Communication also was handled pretty poorly on all levels (central government, local government, and media). Strong measures (likely necessary) were not communicated properly ("do not panic" followed by restrictive measures), and the news are basically happy to provide sensationalist headlines ("coronavirus nightmare", "war bulletin", etc.).
Lastly, the incompetent PM (he is: he's only there because he was "honest") blaming the hospital where the crisis started. This might be true (personally I think not, it is a failure in the chain of command as far as I can see), but you don't come out with these statements. What example are you giving to the country, the citizens, and everywhere in the world? That you don't even know how things are run in the country you are serving as part of the executive branch.

Also the experts (I do not use quotes, they are, or at least should be) providing explanations for the general public often coming up with contradictory statements (because of the various unknowns surrounding this virus and its behavior outside China). And the general public, which is unequipped to understand, gets even more confused.

This also led to the mass hysteria from the last weekend, with people raiding pharmacies and supermarkets. And the press from abroad (in Spain and at least in Colombia, from what I've seen) sensationalized that even more, up to the point that an acquaintance of mine (Colombian) got a worried phone call from her father because he was worried she'd starve.

"Professional"? Not by any means.
Elliott Wave Principle and Depth of Corrective Waves
Elliott Wave Principle and Depth of Corrective Waves

Since the low of the second wave of an extension is commonly in or near the price territory of the immediately preceding fourth wave of one larger degree, this guideline implies behavior similar to that of the preceding guideline. It is notable for its precision, however. Additional value is provided by the fact that fifth wave extensions are typically followed by swift retracements. Their occurrence, then, is an advance warning of a dramatic reversal to a specific level, a powerful combination of knowledge. This guideline need not apply when the market is ending a fifth wave at more than one degree, yet the action in Figure 5-5 (see above reference) suggests that we should still view this level as at least potential or temporary support.

Reversals in Psychology
The thing you're observing is the stubbornness and arrogance derived from the rugged individualism that defines the American identity. It's not that politics is about who is right and who is wrong, but the notion that any individual always believes they are right. It's not about being a winner or a loser, but being the good guy in your own narrative - others be damned. There's this very deep divide between that mindset that we respect as Americans and the utility of those that exemplify it being in positions of leadership in a representative democracy.

The problem is that those that get elected or rise through the ranks of military and our government tend to be the exact people that shouldn't. That's not necessarily just an American thing, since selfish and proud people exist everywhere.

What it leads to is not some conspiracy to keep endless wars going to stay in power. To the contrary, the endless wars are a product of the continuous flux of people who believe they are right and arrogantly refuse to believe they can be wrong at all. If you speak with those in the civil service or those educated by our thought leaders in foreign policy, a consistent notion in why we continue these pointless wars is not because we have some absolute objective. It's because we believe that if we aren't there, someone else will be, and better us than them. That is the deep arrogance and stubbornness of America at work, that we are always right, even in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.

Sorry for the rambling. It's just that some of this deeply upsets me and I've had this debate many times with family members and friends who have more direct influence and experience.
the only thing I miss are the comments
Thank you for providing the source. This helps tremendously in clarifying and advancing the discussion.

We need to be careful about what exactly the WHO is reporting. In this case, they are reporting estimates of the crude fatality rate defined as deaths / total cases. This will equal the mortality rate once the outbreak is over, but has limited use during the outbreak as they call out in footnote:

> The Joint Mission acknowledges the known challenges and biases of reporting crude CFR early in an epidemic.

During the outbreak, a better but still imperfect estimate is deaths / settled cases where settled cases is the sum of deaths and recoveries. [1]

You the nail right on the head. Especially regarding VALI. Personally, I’d also be worried about any residues in the system (e.g. lubricants, grease, etc.) being blown into your lungs. That’d be an excellent recipe for a hellish aspiration pneumonia on top of the underlying illness.
Masks are not for keeping healthy people safe from pathogens. They are for keeping sick people from spreading virus laden droplets when they cough/sneeze.

A mask that's capable of keeping a virus out is a a) much more expensive than a typical surgical mask, b) easy to wear improperly, negating its usefulness, and c) only good for a limited time before needing to be thrown out.
I have to wonder - what did they expect? Apple will drop the ban-hammer just as soon as the target becomes visible. It’s open knowledge. If you’re a growing company it’s only a matter of time before you grow large enough to attract their attention.
Most of my past flu "experiences" have been like that. Started of as a cold, two days of low fever, 8 hours of high fever (that waas the sucky part), and two to three days for everything to stabilize.
That was my first thought as well. Their main park, where the zoo is, has only the trees along the walk way defined. Maybe I didn't understand where this thing was supposed to be going.
Isn’t the entire prototype part of the QA?
For comparison, the H1N1 influenza (the most common subtype in 2009) had a fatality rate of 0.45%. In the elderly (65+) studies shown it had a case fatality rate of up to 10% [1].
