I don't actually read either of your linked studies to support what you say. But be that as it may, I think fiber is also satiating. It's just difficult to hit my macros when eating all broccoli. Broccoli, butter, and steak, on the other hand, is a nearly perfect meal. I get the sense you're invested in a plant-based diet. Good for you! I'm sure there are way to engineer the outcomes you want with plants.

Using the graphs I do see some hourly write activity to the USB device. But say it writes 10MB of data (graph shows ~100kB) every hour for half a year, that's still just ~41GB, just over one drive write in my case.

So maybe some services cause it to write much more data?

What real evidence do we have that torture is ineffective?

The only claims I have read are of limited tortures (e.g., waterboarding, freezing, isolation, playing bad music, etc.) that are allowed by Western democracies sometimes.

I simply cannot believe that more intense torture techniques (say, those used by criminal elements) will not result in an individual revealing whatever he knows (or dying).
Could you explain more about why we will have stagflation and a dollar collapse? Geniunly curious.

Much ado over an uncommon flu
There are cases in warm places like Singapore and Thailand. Yes, they think transmission could be slowed in warm humid weather, but most warm places in the world have air conditioning.
They're likely not covered at all - pandemics are usually considered to be acts of God.
It's frustrating. We have no office hours and staff can work anywhere with internet - and anytime so long as they get work done. They are salaried no incentive to show up at offie whatsoever. We've sent emails, reminded at in person meetings. Yet they still show up coughing. One employee like every minute a dry cough.. We talked to them in person, sent them home. And then they show up two days later same cough if not worse! The excuse: i had an in person meeting!!!

drives me insane. I can only do so much and really feels like the only thing I can control is my exposure but I don't want to over react and become a hermit

if we cant get our salaried staff who can already work from anywhere to stay home I feel scared that there's no way in hell hourly service workers would do it.
Got it. For some reason, I was reading it as you had depleted the accounts before going live, but that makes much more sense. I take back what I said then about the live production test helping here. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Absolutely, I was commenting on their choice of speaker. Not sure why that’s such a controversial comment
Based on prior coronavirus outbreaks, e.g. mers, sers, common cold. It and derivatives probably will be a winter cold for the next few years.

In the hour-long video, from the start to the end, only the first seven gears move visibly, and the 8th moves maybe a pixel. You probably couldn't move anything past the 3rd or 4th gear with your hand, depending on how low-friction the bearings are, how strong you are, and how little you care about hurting your hand. You could attach a long lever to one, but that'll only get you one, maybe two gears further.

Yes. We are fine with it. Correct decision by the city. Wish they could have done this little earlier. We would have saved some money - banners, t-shirts and other stuff.
What's the flu death rate vs Corona for over 70s? This feels like an overreaction.
I find it curious there even are people who would consider torturing someone. I wonder what's the difference between people who would and who wouldn't. I.e. I would certainly prefer to die peacefully than to attack anybody, let alone hurt somebody just to achieve a minor goal.
Right, but if you find it obvious that one should be on time, yet you aren't, there are two possible explanations:

- You are trying to be on time and failing, in which case telling you to try harder is unlikely to help. There is an underlying cause for your involuntary tardiness that must be addressed; or

- You are intentionally disregarding being on time, because something has made you think that is acceptable. There is an underlying cause to your voluntary tardiness that must be addressed.

Either way, people generally have a reason for doing things the way they do them, and willingly ignoring this reason is generally ineffective at provoking change.
the virus does not cause pneumonia in the majority of cases. A pneumonia is an infection of the lower respiratory tract (which is a quite serious condition leading to significant symptoms).

In the majority of patients this virus causes an infection of the upper respiratory tract, which causes symptoms comparable to a common cold.
Got it, thanks for the feedback. Certainly something we’re going to work to improve
Its not just the death rate, it's the hospitalization ratio and the length of being out in bed.
The problem is both.

Torture is both ineffective and immoral.

Portraying it as effective is a problem.

Portraying it as morally acceptable is a problem.
I think we agree, it's more of a matter of adjective grade. I expect service to be adequate. Some of it is frankly good. Once in a while it's outstanding.

This doesn't answer your q but can I ask you how you went from IC to a manager assuming your focus was front-end engineering? The front-end community career track ceils at the IC level quite often and it is rare for FE engineers to jump to management level.

We also have a lot of people who can't afford to take a day off work or go to the doctor, so they go in sick because of that.

It'll always be a struggle but it's not something I'm actively pushing for anyone to do. If you're comfortable with it, great! If you're not, I think I'd be the last person to change your mind.

The company is definitely real, but anyone with at least a few hundred bucks can incorporate. Building trust is a non-trivial thing, and I try to do that by putting my name and reputation behind the product and blogging transparently about the journey.
Of course not, there is no incentive to do so. Until there is, nothing will change. I am all for socialization of wealth, as money in circulation boosts the economy more than hoarding it, but I just don't understand how people can say that companies should (morally) socialize their wealth "out of the goodness of their hearts" without some incentive. Companies, like all organizations of individual agents, do not have collective morals. They are merely machinations that have the sole fitness function of increasing wealth, at whatever cost. If we take this to be true, why exactly would, without another fitness function, a company socialize wealth?
China was on an exponential curve until they took public health measures at which they went on a different curve.

And this is familiar territory. pg is very aware that "your current exponential curve is adjustable". So any country whose curve goes the wrong way needs to adjust their actions, and the sooner the better. But once behavior is adjusted, that projection stops being accurate.

So his comment is that, based on current infection curves, the level of effort outside of China is way too little for the threat. Turning that around, if dramatic effort causes the disease to have a halving time of 3 weeks, then every day we wait to implement those changes is a week longer that we will have to live under a dramatic regime to limit total casualties.
> kill at least 10x more people in the US this year

Since the Corona virus has a 3% mortality rate, your estimate of 'at least 10x' would mean 500,000 american dead by the end of year, which would require 150,000,000 to be infected this year, or basically, 48%~ of the population getting infected this year.

I'm not saying your wrong, but can you provide a link to a reputable site such as CDC/WHO that supports your claim?
Can you say more about what you see as the Swedish tradition of brainwashing people into policing each other? Sweden has a reputation for extreme political correctness, which I guess could be framed as a more polite way to express the same thing, but the way you put it sounds far more exciting!
The problem with trolley problems (and utilitarianism in general) is that they assume a degree of foresight that rarely exists in the real world. You know there are more lives at risk on path A than path B, and you know that pressing a button will reliably allow you to choose between them.

None of this obtains in the torture case. Suppose you learn with certainty there is a bomb somewhere on Main Street, and you capture X, the evil bomber, with only 10 minutes to go. You want X to give you the exact location, because you don't have time to evacuate the whole street.

So you torture X...but what if he just gives you the wrong location? It will take you several minutes to check it out, and while you're doing so, the bomb goes off. You've failed. Even when you know for sure that the torture subject has the information you want there is delay between getting an answer and verifying it. In any ticking clock scenario the original malefactor can build in a plan for a diversion or the equivalent o a warrant canary to warn co-conspirators.

So what do you do? Send someone to check but act like you don't believe them and keep torturing X anyway? X knows it will take non-zero time to validate any answer and can structure the evil plot to take account of that. If you keep torturing X, you might just get a second decoy, plus there's now a strong argument that you're just doing it because you like it, and have picked a job which provides you with the excuse of necessity.

And ticking-clock-with-captured-terrorist scenarios are so rare in reality as to be nonexistent. Almost invariably torture is deployed either to terrorize people or to fish for information which the subject might or might not have. Generally, if prisoners won't supply the information an interrogator desires, they don't have it; and if they do have it, they're sufficiently strong-willed to withstand the torture. In a good many cases, the fact of torture motivates them to hold out, because it validates their moral opposition to a power that tortures people in the first place.
Thanks for the kind words! If you run into anything during your trial, feel free to let me know!
They’re responding to a comment that’s explicitly making an economic argument based on the numbers. I think it’s reasonable to respond to that on its own terms.

> I'm speculating their insurance coverage only kicked in if they were forced to close.

SXSW was definitely not going to cancel until forced.

The more important piece than insurance, I suspect, is that they don't have to give full refunds now. It also probably means they can unilaterally cancel contracts.
This is going to be the real issue, in my opinion. People will go to work sick because they have no other choice. And it'll spread. And, who knows, we might even have some crazy-ass cult here that purposefully goes in sick and tries to spread it (I read an article that Korea had a cult like that).
I think they meant in terms of viral propagation and effects being felt.
Colin, that's awesome to hear! Thank you for your support from the beginning!
Do those outcomes hold up if the innocent party caught the mistaken/bad-faith change before signing and knowingly proceeded to sign anyway?

Everything you said makes sense if it goes unnoticed until after signing, but I'm less sure about that scenario. Probably varies by jurisdiction, at least when both parties are well-resourced and sophisticated.

There is a stigma because some people believe your body needs to be whole during your last rites (Even though you cremate the body in the end if you're Hindu). This is pure superstition.

This is gradually changing with increasing education and awareness among people, making organ donations socially acceptable and something to be proud of.
"I have experience doing Unit testing, E2E testing"

What standing would an infected person have against SXSW or the city of Austin?
Good! Companies which don't allow WFH for their employees in these circumstances should be punished for their greediness and incompetence.
There are all sorts of answers here and I will throw one more at you. It will cost you 10 minutes a day and you can stop if it doesn’t work.

Look up the Wim Hof breathing method. I don’t know why it works but it does. Maybe it’s all a placebo, but if it works, why does it matter?
Serious question: is there a legal system that works better in these kinds of cases?
“Cancelling SXSW represents about $350M in lost revenue for the city of Austin. This is an enormous act of civic responsibility”
What? How can they do that?
An article from "Variety" (https://variety.com/2020/music/festivals/coronavirus-ultra-s...) covers exactly this and agrees:

> But he understands the hesitance to cancel — because even if most major promoters probably spent extra to have communicable disease provisions in their cancellation insurance, it wouldn’t likely kick in if they made a unilateral decision to cancel without the city forcing their hand to do so.

In the above, "he" refers to an "entertainment manager" at an insurance company. Doesn't sound like firsthand knowledge, but it's still a very educated guess.
Generally, torture is portrayed as working against villains, but not against heroes or anti-heroes.

I find the headline misleading regarding the effect on creativity. In fact, no effect was found. Hence:

A cashless society is a step on the way to communism. Whatever you think about communism (fear it or want it). Whoever doesn't want communism (which is much more likely to be a dystopia than an utopia) should defend cash to the death.

As someone who has done lab testing for a local pharma producer, I definitely do not see this as an overreaction. This is a smart move, especially considering the ones they live at home with.
No refunds will be given

“#SXSW replied me saying they won't refund me Frowning face or exchange for 2021. For Brazilian standards the price of the ticket is VERY expensive and I'm cancelling my trip due to concerns related to coronavirus. I think they should refund me and the participants that decided not to attend”

Totally understandable that you'd like to avoid using services like Plaid. We have a lot of users who share the same sentiment, and also many international users who cannot use Plaid, so it's a priority to ensure the experience is without Plaid is still an enjoyable/practical one.

The average American will die of cardiovascular disease, not the coronavirus. Rather than stock up on rice and masks and cancel events, people should address what’s most likely to kill them.
So... from the purely personal perspective of the author who quit: yes, realistically WFH isn't going to keep you alive. If it becomes a pandemic, eventually we're all going to get it. That's what pandemic means.

But straightforward management strategies like remote work still have value, because in a pandemic the problem just that everyone gets stick, it's that everyone gets sick at the same time. So... now you have to compare the mortality rate of a serious but normal flu infection when treated at a well-equipped hospital to the mortality rate of contracting COVID-19 in a city with effectively no hospital space available.

That's what we're trying to fix. And it's doable, but not if everyone (including, very frustratingly, our leaders) tries to pretend like nothing is wrong. If your office environment is plausibly exposed (and in the modern world of international geeks, almost all tech offices are), and you can WFH, you should WFH. Period.
Perhaps you should study some biology.

What turns exponential functions into s-curves is a feedback loop. In the case of epidemics in the wild, the feedback loop is that people who have already had the disease tend not to get it again. Which means that, without external effort, a disease remains exponential until it has burned through a significant fraction of victims where it has already been.

A disease that has affected thousands in regions with hundreds of millions should not yet be slowed by that kind of consideration.
I posted a link elsewhere in this discussion to a piece I wrote some years back called The Gray Zone.

TLDR: Establishing trust is always a long, involved process, no matter who the parties are. But it's just much, much clearer that it's platonic and for purposes of doing business when it's two (apparently) heterosexual males. The waters get muddy really quickly when it's a heterosexual man and a heterosexual woman.

Edit:

One thing that jumps out at me is you seem to be saying what holds women back is that men don't trust them.

I would say that women end up under pressure to meet a higher bar for trust than men typically face. If men had to meet the same bar, they would fail more consistently as well.
This isn’t the only way email could be. You can remove the whole ‘cc’ aspect, make it work within channels just like Slack, and most of the awkwardness melts away, while you keep the good, async parts.

The reason email is stuffy is that it allows you too granular an ability to choose and modify who gets to see it as a conversation goes on. A simpler concept of a channel goes some way to solve that.

That said, be forewarned: I’m biased, I make a tool that makes email work like Slack. (https://aether.app)

If anything, one thing we’ve noticed using Aether is that it makes people drop ‘Hi Jane’ style heading and signatures at the bottom after a while, naturally.

The point isn't to tell people how to think.

It helps you think clearly even when everyone around you isn't. And it helps you empathize with, and therefore communicate better with, the people around you.
With Netflix the 5 star system made sense and they shouldn't have ditched it. There was no issue of someone losing their livelihood if you left a 4-star review on Netflix, so Netflix movie ratings were pretty accurate I think.
this is a great summary.
I’ve noticed that some people will watch for certain patterns and strings and then just react with some kind of pattern that they fill in the blanks to rather than applying reason.

When they’re not talking to you and not getting emotional it’s just obnoxious but when they’re angry and you have to deal with it there isn’t much worse.
I thought they were waiting for the city to cancel it for insurance reasons.
Yeah sorry, I was just trying to be succinct in the post, I been working on fixing some tests lately so I guess that's why it came to mind.

This makes absolutely no sense at all.

Given this line of reasoning, wouldn't it make sense to also not put seatbelts in automobiles? After all, it's not the most likely way to die.

Should we bother looking both ways before crossing a street just because there is a low volume of pedestrian deaths?

No, that's patently absurd because we have the capacity in this world to prepare for more than just the modal outcome. To suggest that we should only prepare for the modal way we might die is preposterous.
That will be what seems to have happened.
