I have very rarely had any issues with depression, my whole life, and when I was depressed there was always a clear reason (e.g. a breakup). Until about a year ago, when I got my first fully remote job, and after 6-8 months I realized I was starting to be depressed a lot, listless, feelings of despair and anxiety, etc.

Just doing more of my work in a coffeeshop or elsewhere with people around, seems to make a big difference. Which implies that perhaps just visiting a depressed friend a lot, might make a difference? Just a thought.
The interesting question is now why regions like Wuhan and Italy stand out while South Korea is sitting at the opposite side of the scale.

From what I understood the true mortality rate can only reliably be established after the pandemic. During it is moving target. Now, this uncertainty is something normal it seems. I can live with that.

What I would love, so, is a breakdown by age group, gender, preexisting conditions and so on. Also how these groups are overall represented in the population of the individual regions. Then at least we would have a first indication if certain groups are overrepresented or not.

Reducing COVID-19 to just one overall percentage number is insufficient I think. But yes, Italy stands out.

Re: Economics

'The belt' would best be mined by automated, semi-remote controlled machines.

The Moon offers a good target to fire those resources at (aim to roughly keep it's orbital momentum the same), a low but not No G fab area with easy access to 'free' vacuum, and is usefully close to Earth orbits.

Mars... I can't really think of any particular thing it does better offhand, that couldn't instead...

Lagrange Points (L4 and L5) offer areas usefully distant from Earth for scientific and world-ending-event backup purposes, have a relatively low escape velocity, and are "safer" in that they draw masses to stay near them. This would be a great place to park a large rock (for shielding) and core out the inside.

What level of site complexity do you think would justify using your framework versus a simpler approach? (wordpress with wp2static, for example) Is there a concrete level of interactivity or architecture at which you think a framework like this starts to shine?
In a zero-based budgetting system, maybe. But given that any opponents will just present such a change as a huge additional expense and very much big government, do you really expect it to get much support?

I'm not necessarily sure there are tools that will directly affect your rankings. I guess if you're using Wordpress the Yoast plugin is pretty good for helping to analyze/correct/optimize the content you're creating. But tools like SEMRush or Moz really only provide data and you need to understand what things to do to act on that data. Honestly, creating quality content (& making sure it's being crawled properly) and building backlinks are the most important tools to ranking.
Sure, that's the theory, but I'm not sure a "SE-based" system as you describe it is actually used at all, or certainly for any non-trivial volume of transactions, in an Intel-based (desktop/laptop) environment.

I've never used a web store checkout system that wasn't based on browser forms, or any mechanism that felt like asking a secure enclave to sign a transaction. Google Chrome offers to store your credit card numbers for you, but that's just so it can autofill web forms.

Apple Pay or whatever, sure, on their hardware. Macbooks, I'd think it uses the touchbar secure enclave. But nothing really uses SGX on Intel except Netflix DRM.
I'm glad they released this and made it clear that there is a legal and safe way to collect this sort of information.

From my reading, as long as you're not furthering any crimes the community is engaged in, or impersonating a real person to gain their trust (as opposed to a fictional false identity), or breaching any systems they use, then it's generally okay to gather information. Purchasing stolen data (that you own/are authorized to possess) and vulnerabilities is more complicated, but they explain some legal ways of doing it.
From what I heard they weren't the only brokerage with an issue. Maybe they had the worst issues, but I think it's also that their customers are more vocal than others.
"Masks are NOT the most useful thing you can do to protect yourself: they’re hard to wear properly, especially for long periods of time, and their effectiveness against viral particles stops as the filter gets moist with your breathing. Also for some people, wearing a mask makes it more likely that they will touch their face."

Reality - masks are a valid, additional step. And given all the other crazy, high cost, high impact steps being taken to "flatten the curve" a low cost low impact step like mask wearing should be on the recommendations list.

Even kids (ultra low risk) in shanghai are wearing masks in the playgrounds. And here we have older adults squeezed onto mass transit and are telling them all the reasons why masks may not help.

To flatten the curve all low cost low impact steps should be taken.
It would be more correct to say that they don't have access to money. If someone lives next door to a grocery store you wouldn't say they don't have access to food. Likewise if someone can't pay their water bill, they are in danger of not obtaining any neccesaties like food or heat.

The problem would be more clear to say they don't have access to any free water or don't have access to money or a source of income. Saying they don't have access to water implies the infrastructure isn't there, which is not the problem that needs to be solved in this case.

I don't want to sound dismissive of your proposal, it'd be great to have a more restrictive set of defaults to prevent tracking...

But just consider the automatic way a regular user clicks at any prompt that gets in their way out of habit...

I am guilty of this sometimes, even though I try to be mindful and always try to opt-out of tracking cookies, etc.

I think the system you're proposing has to have some sort of smart way to whitelist, either by granting temporary whitelisting with varying granularity (e.g. for this session, for 1 hour, forever ... Etc).

I think Privacy Badger (the add-on) has partially solved this (learning through counting how many times a tracker's domain appears on other sites), maybe this could applied in reverse: automatically whitelist after N approvals.

What do you think?

> They absolutely work for many people. Unfortunately, many people deprive themselves of SSRI trials because they read too many negative anecdotes online. If you're seriously depressed for an extended period of time, it's worth a trial of an SSRI medication. If it doesn't work, just taper off and be done with it. At least you'll know.

SSRI's do not work. Linked elsewhere in this thread: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4172306/

> The serotonin theory is as close as any theory in the history of science to having been proved wrong. Instead of curing depression, popular antidepressants may induce a biological vulnerability making people more likely to become depressed in the future.

Serotonin being the key driver of depression is as wrong as complex carbs being the healthiest macronutrient.
Thanks for the kind words!

Redwood started as an experiment, and we'll see where it goes, but my intuition is that it will fill a need that many React developers currently have (namely: the lack of integrated solutions to all the technologies available in the ecosystem). It's certainly something that I want!
> this seems like existing collateral requirements being met for exceptional usage/volume

Brokerages, particularly discount brokerages, are leveraged beasts.

When prices move, they have to post collateral. The brokerage has to then make up that deficit by calling customers' capital and/or liquidating securities. Between those two, the brokerage has to draw on reserves and, lacking that, borrow. If it can't, it goes into receivership.
People don't dream of traveling to other planets to create a backup civilization for Earth. That is what those people tell the ones who don't understand their dream and why they should support it. People want to explore because a certain segment of the population would love the adventure, danger, excitement, thrill, and exotic experience. One also has the chance of creating new places outside of existing governance structures. A group of people who start building a city on Antarctica would likely be kicked off by force in a short period of time. On Mars, who knows?
> But it's not min and max with the rest of types.

Yes it is: & is min for all types including boolean, where it is "and" as we can see above. Similarly | is max for all types including boolean, where it is "or". You can convince yourself in binary, or pick up

> it is hard to understand. That's precisely why I don't like having even more unintuitive things.

If I tell you something is "intuitive" I do not mean you should find this approachable knowing what you know. Just as statements on "readability" I find this personalised definition doesn't promote a meaningful discussion, as it depends too heavily on social factors.

Now I don't deny those social factors are important, but if you really mean that, you're basically rejecting learning anything about X because (as at least as a factor) nobody else knows it.

Are you sure you want to be that person? Does anyone?

No of course not. We want to be scientists and evaluate these tools on their own merits. If they are truly new and novel, then we would not expect them to be popular, and so we cannot (if we are to be good scientists) reject them for that reason.

It is for this reason I recommend when someone says "it is readable" we always interpret it to mean if one knows how, and similarly, "it is intuitive", should have an implicit when you are thinking a certain way.

If we do not do this, then we cannot get any value whatsoever from what the other person is saying; if I truly imagine this is what the mean -- that they mean they do not have any interest in being a good scientist and having a discussion about the merits, then they're definitely not worth talking to.

So let me say something about "intuition" under this definition: To me, it is important to understand the relationship between the intuition I can have (or generate) about something, and the memorisation and taxonomy that something requires. "&" is extremely intuitive in this sense because it always has the same definition for every type (It always means the lesser). Most things in k are intuitive like that, and those things that are not, tend to be useful enough that they're worth memorising.

An example of something like the other is "?" which usually means "draw" (As in, that's the most common meaning). You might say 10?100 to draw ten numbers from 0-99. But what would `x?`y? How many is an `x? So k gives another definition to this form (enumerate). This is not intuitive, but if the definition is useful, we will memorise it. This one turns out to be useful.

For the most part, and in the way that I mean, k is very intuitive, and where it is not, it tends to be useful. These are good things!
This is not helpful but wow 100 services for 25 people! Nothing wrong with that, but it really shows how many dependencies a business has today on software alone. I have to imagine that at least 1% of those services go bust every year.
Yes - I've heard that. The whole don't want to worry people by wearing masks. If you aren't wearing a mask a sneeze near me I'm more worried not less.

I don't know where the don't wear masks they aren't helpful push came from. I think perhaps a misguided attempt to deal with a resource constraint (ie, lie to them about mask benefit so they won't wear them and worry others and won't use them?)

It's totally unique to the US however. Asia is going the other way.
the main difference is that I'd be able to use IsoAlloc to actually write interesting features which allow me to isolate data inside a process depending on the security context (confine data to certain zones).

nice to get an additional introspection capability which allows verification for correctness during execution. This is a killer feature but I think the main purpose here is the isolation.

Performance overhead for this seems also reasonable considering what you get for it (security/sandboxing).
At the risk of being confrontational, I have to question whether you have ever had a low-paying job in the USA or if you have even taken the time to look at the typical "benefits" and work requirements attached to such jobs. The absolute and unquestionable reality for millions of workers in the USA (food industry, customer service, transportation, and many others) is that they have zero paid sick leave and are also subject to work requirements that allow for their termination with little to no warning for any form of work absence. It follows logically that there is a great deal of people who work while sick and are afraid of missing work for any reason - they have minimal rights, live paycheck to paycheck, can barely afford healthcare, and have almost zero job security.

This is the environment that rabidly pro-business regulation and the erosion of worker protections has created; assertions that the hideously benighted situation of low-paid workers in the USA will magically "self-resolve" without strong legislation go against the entire history of the labor rights movement and basic common sense.
In some cases it can work remarkably well, or so I've been told. The more people who reach out, the more fearful said rep will be of backlash.
This is called anecdotal evidence. And yes, immediately. Although thank you for linking a source, even if it's anecdotal, and even if it directly acknowledges that traffic might be down also because of a double homicide in the area. And even if it doesn't address what traffic is like at restaurants outside of Chinatown in nearby areas. Etc.

> that their usefulness is against airborne particles is limited to 30 min and that masks can make some people touch their face more.

Where is the evidence?

"Experience in these settings indicates that respirators can function within their design specifications for 8 hours of continuous or intermittent use. Some research studies (14, 15) have recruited healthcare workers as test subjects and many of those subjects have successfully worn an N95 respirator at work for several hours before they needed to remove them. Thus, the maximum length of continuous use in non-dusty healthcare workplaces is typically dictated by hygienic concerns (e.g., the respirator was discarded because it became contaminated) or practical considerations (e.g., need to use the restroom, meal breaks, etc.), rather than a pre-determined number of hours."

The "new" AMD attack depends on lack of already existing spectre mitigations. If I understand correctly, this one is a real new one that works against a correctly patched system.

Twitch does have an IRC gateway, so it's possible to use your own application for chat.

There are (standarized) things that get sent to x.com when you click on a link to it on m.com. Stuff that wouldn't be there if you actually copy pasted the link.
No, especially if DNS-based service discovery is being used.
Many services use DNS to distribute requests across regions or to balance load or for failover purposes. An IP address is less flexible for those purposes.
Companies sign official correspondence, and email clients give blaring sirens/red flags for unsigned correspondence (or send it straight to the spam folder) similar to how browsers now handle http vs. https traffic?

It would also be very easy to detect any misrepresentation. Email contains a link to a domain that isn't on your cert? Alarms / no clickable links / etc.
QuantQuest: Data Science Comp to spot next corona virus inspired market meltdown
That definitely could be true, but from what I've read it probably isn't. One of the ways the virus kills people is by destroying their ACE2 receptors, which your lung cells need to function. If you blocked them all, your lung cells would die anyway. So as long as the virus can enter your lung cells, you might as well prevent it from killing them by making extra ACE2 receptors. That's the theory anyway.

There are also many other ways you can block the virus from entering your lungs that don't involve downregulating your ACE2 receptors.
Be aware that having #1 is fine, but without #2 no one will find it via google.

Be more aware that google says if you manually acquire backlinks you may get kicked out of google or downranked. If you are in a competitive market, your competition will not link to you, and instead will report you to google for doing something. Then they may setup bad backlinks to you.

having to hunt around the web and ask people to take down backlinks is a thing.

Best advice, a stupid viral video that gets shared on fbok, insta, twitter, tiktok etc.. don't count on seo or google they are fickle.
QuantQuest is a data science competition platform similar to Kaggle but for time series and financial problems.

We're currently hosting a competition where you have to use news articles to predict a price feature of 5 stock indexes.

Unlike most data science competitions, where the aim is to xgboost your light gbmboost, this competition is looking at the real-world applicable skill of feature engineering with text data. Participants will have to create features to extract semantic information to predict global events, such as war, financial crises, or even (near) pandemics.
No, you misunderstand, they can't. It's not for lack of trying.
Why are we passing around binary data re-encoded to only use 6 bits per transmitted byte? In some cases it might be practical to shoehorn binary data where a text string has historically gone (e.g., data URLs, emails) but making a new format that can’t handle binary data without costly armoring seems like we’ve basically given up on using the right tool for the job.
No. Everything is 0s and 1s after all. Take for eg. a byte. It has 8 bits and by permutating all the 0s and 1s you end up with all the possible values of a signed byte; all the numbers -128 to 127. So now, if you were to copy a byte from a random memory location that byte will just contain a permutation of 0s and 1s which when interpreted as a signed int, will simply contain a number between -128 and 127.
>Do you really believe that a huge organisation that has plenty of people that are fine with illegally assassinating people, kidnapping people and torturing them, lying to Congress, etc. would have any moral issue with planting some images on a suspect’s hard drive?

At an organizational level? Yes, absolutely. I could believe a few people there taking such an action independently, but I believe it's a lot less likely the organization itself would approve it. Possible, but unlikely.

Either way, even if I thought they would have absolutely no qualms about doing it, there are still plenty of reasons not to do it (optics, etc.). And even if that weren't an issue, the onus is still on the accuser to produce at least some evidence.

>There is plenty of precedent too. One of the largest child abuse web sites on the dark web was confiscated by Australian police and then they continued to run it for another year [1]. But not only that, they did indeed post additional content (that they had confiscated elsewhere I assume) to keep the site’s users believing it was running as normal!

This is very questionable, but still a different thing.
I want to get it late - ideally I can hold off long enough for an effective vaccine and never get it. Lacking that, maybe at least someone will discover a better treatment. Maybe in a few months we will discover some existing rabies drug also helps this treatment, or some other such thing. There are also some other anti-virals in development, maybe one of them will turn out to be somewhat useful. However it will take time for doctors to figure that out. I'd rather they learn on someone else.

It depends on what you mean by "worth". Market price is market price, after all. But it's perfectly plausible that Uber will never turn a profit. It's indisputable that Uber was severely overvalued for a long time. And when thinking from a systemic perspective about whether Kalanick should be a billionaire, we have to reckon with the externalities.
Every reasonable study shows masks being useful. It's why everyone wears them in a medical setting. They are not a guarantee by any means, but you can layer risk reductions.

Remind people not to touch their face. Put a surgical mask to reinforce that over nose and mouth. Other benefits if they happen to be sick themselves. etc.

There was even thought of encouraging mask use to handle seasonal flu - they are very effective, normal issue is low adherence (people don't like wearing them).

In this situation adherence might improve.

Certainly not. DNS is a good way to decouple logical service names from actual machines. This is particularly useful with containers so that you can put your services wherever the orchestrator wants them. It can also be used for load balancing and resiliency.
