The technical part of hand transplants is hard; there’s a lot of nerves and muscles to connect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_transplantation:

”The operation is quite extensive and typically lasts from 8 to 12 hours. By comparison, a typical heart transplant operation lasts 6 to 8 hours”.

Apart from that, there’s the psychological aspect. Recipients must accept their new hand as theirs. That can require extensive psychological support.

Then, there’s the ethical aspect. Unlike heart transplants, a hand transplant isn’t life-saving, but like it, it condemns patients to the life-long use of immunosuppressants, with the side effect of a weaker immune system. Prosthetics may be the better choice. It also is a lot cheaper. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3499956/ claims

”The lifetime cost of a single hand transplantation is approximately $528,293; on average 62% of this total is due to expensive immunosuppressive therapy and postoperative management.18 The lifetime cost for a single prosthetic adaptation is approximately $20,653

[…]

The quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) of prosthetic adaptation exceed those for hand transplantation, due to the complications of immunosuppression.”
While we're at it: "Intermittent fasting" versus ... fasting until you die? All fasting is intermittent. IF just doesn't communicate anything regardless. I think it's clear it's just a bad term. Time restricted eating actually describes something specific.
With regard to agreement, not exactly. There's a lot of research around high fiber intake being one of the most prominent indicators of satiety [0]. Keep in mind most all meats are densely loaded with calories compared to whole plants. Fats are less satiating than fiber in many studies [1]. Hence it's far easier to overconsume fats via meats because no meat contains fiber and, again, is more dense per gram with regard to fat.

Absolutely nothing. It is likely that Seattle is already out of control. But, we won't know how bad its going to be for a week or two. King County buying a motel to house sick people is rather telling. Its an action that suggest they know it is going to be bad but don't want to say so and freak people out.

I think it is going to be worse in the US than China. We have an individualist culture that routinely goes to work sick.
Quantity is a type of quality. Lots of people mainly use cloud storage as a cold storage locker for backing up photos and documents. I'm sure there's ways to innovate in the space that would make certain clouds more appealing, but most solutions are already effective as simple storage lockers. Doing it better instead of cheaper at this point is more likely to be either a megacorp affiliation perk, like a discount on a YouTube Music subscription, or phone company style family plan discounts "Get discounted storage for the whole family if you pay slightly less than the price of four memberships!"

Very good point! Let's say you move into a new market, trying to undercut the status quo. The status quo, with their power of scale and experience can just undercut you back. Who is benefitting from this? The customers! So if the customers want more competition they have to pay you to play. Which means they have to co-invest with you and promise to buy your service later.

A good is example are the Apple iPhone screens. If Apple wants a new competing supplier, they have to invest in new competitors.

Yes, it’s a parody of a widely used classic medium.
Wish the title had "Rainforest" because the current title makes it seem like Polesia is a european competitor to Bezo's Amazon that is struggling to survive.

Also, isn't calling Polesia, Europe's Amazon as silly as calling Thames, England's Nile? The amazon rainforest is almost the size of europe itself.

IMO, onboarding with YNAB specifically would take longer than most other budgeting apps, since on top of getting used to the interface, you also need to get used to their very specific method of budgeting. With Lunch Money, I've heard from users coming from YNAB that it's easier to get set up likely because we've approached organizing transactions and budgeting in a more pragmatic and flexible way.

Love to hear what you think when/if you ever decide to join Lunch Money!

I bet the zero point fluctuation motion of the last gear dwarfs the deterministic motion.
Part of me likes to thing something crazy would happen if you turned it from the other end. Turn one gear once and the gear at the far other end turns a googol times but melts somewhere around a trillion rotations. Almost doesn't feel too outlandish given a scope that already includes "more energy than the entire known universe has" (per the article) for a measurement.
Can you share more info on cost breakdown and earnings? Also, how expensive is electricity in your area?
Of course it could. China could easily develop and push to humans a vaccine at a pace which would make our FDA cringe, but, once its out there and tested on humans in China there's a very small chance the FDA won't be effectively forced to allow it in the USA.

Our containment efforts could prevent any significant self-sustaining communities in the USA. This seems plausible.

Testing could advance to a point where Apple safely and effectively door tests attendees. This seems like something Apple would and will do, if they can (e.g. if testing advances far enough in the next month or so).

I think Apple will announce a decision between 30-15 days out from the event and by that time their choice will be an obvious one.
Thanks for reading and I'm glad that bit helped you out! I was in my own head so much about the lack of mobile app and it was paralyzing at times. Good luck with your own product!
I'm right there with you. This is serious enough that production and supply chains may be disrupted. So far, it is proactive people preparing to stay home. What about the other 90% of the population that is reactive? Will there be enough food on shelves to supply people when schools close and community quarantines start?

I am down the supply chain from Seattle. I fully expect to see empty shelves in our grocery in a month.
I've taken to calling this phenomenon (for a lack of a better word) "Popaganda" -- beliefs that are spread and mutually reinforced throughout popular media and the general population. If something seems believable, it makes its way into popular media and is therefore made more believable in an endless feedback loop, regardless of how inaccurate it is and regardless of how damaging it is for society to believe such a falsehood. The reason for singling these concepts out, and lumping it together with something as insidious as propaganda is that, similar to propaganda, once someone believes one of these concepts and sees it repeated around them so many times, it is almost impossible to convince them otherwise.

Some examples, both specific and general:

* Smart people always immediately know solutions to problems and are 100% confident about these solutions
* If someone's heart stops beating, just use a defibrillator
* Hacking is an active activity
* Modern medicine is "white box" -- just scan your body, see the problem and get meds that fix it
* "Someone" (a government, a company, an evil mastermind etc.) is always in control of any given situation involving a large number of people, regardless of how chaotic the situation is and how many stakeholders are involved

(not a great list, but you get the idea)
Such safes are very uncommon. If some major bank announced that it's going to install destroy-on-tamper on all its safety deposit boxes, I'd definitely expect some reactive legislation about it.
The original mentioned, Arthur Ganson's Machine with Concrete, is quite a bit more artistic. The end is cast in concrete.

The idea is that there is a certain amount of energy lost as friction in each gear, per turn. If you calculate the gear ratios and how many turns of the earlier gears would be required to make the final gear move, even infinitesimally, the amount of energy lost becomes more than all the energy in the known universe. It's not really about RPMs.

That's the rumor, but the statement they put out was absolutely ridiculous and in no way required for insurance. The organizers were willing to put people at risk for profit.
>That’s a very speculative statement. It’s quite possible that the Virus spread will stop as the weather warms up.

Based on what data?

This is something that Trump said and was immediately shut down on. We simply don't know enough to make any statements about spread probability yet.
Thanks for the tip! Great reminder that I need to be more mindful of these things.
And the noise from the bugs. The bugs and frogs in the south US are incredibly loud. Plus bugs are pretty dangerous, and on the water here you have snakes.

Idk I grew up next to the James river and it would take something incredible to make me go back there.
This is absolutely true and it's been enormously helpful to me to actively seek out such information and have a more balanced perspective. An important difference seems to be that women very frequently get a lot of weird and problematic attention before they are big and it often outweighs the positives.

If you get enough positive attention and money out of it, putting up with some icky stuff can be worth it. But women frequently are facing a situation where it's far more downside than up in the early stages in a way that makes it actively difficult to even get traction.

I've spent a lot of years trying to come up with constructive mental models to help me more effectively navigate such things. I think it's problematic to frame it in strictly gendered terms. Among other things, this tends to make women feel like it's hopeless and can't be fixed.

I think women get raised to have private lives. Men get raised to have public lives. This ends up being self reinforcing.

I lived an extremely private life. I was a homemaker for a long time. Learning to effectively interact with the public has been a long, uphill slog.

It's perhaps been something of a gift that it's been so hard. The extremes of it have likely helped make some things apparent to me that may get overlooked by others due to being too subtle.
I don't use it either, but, it's The Thing in some IT departments.

It does offer some amazing capabilities for making old legacy applications that were never designed to have any semblance of failover or redundancy or disaster recovery operate in impressively resilient ways. You also pay for the privilege.

Without containment, COVID-19 will directly kill at least 10x more people in the US this year. Worse, it will overwhelm hospitals and suffocate medical supply chains, resulting in more indirect deaths as well. You're comparing the deaths of multiple already pandemic flus to a single disease which has not yet spread throughout the United States.

They may indeed be using bad data. However I trust their analysis of the data over a random internet commentator like you.

I encourage anyone reading this conversation to do their own research and note the uncertainties before forming their own opinions.
Something I really wish existed: a very cheap, pocket key chain size, battery powered USB device that stores crypto keys and OTP pads. The idea is that you set it up (plug it into a PC or phone) with an identity and contact information (in the spirit of vCard). The key feature of the device is that touching two of the devices together should automagically exchange identify information, generate and exchange public keys, and continue filling all available storage with shared noise usable for OTP. Each side generates their own random[1] stream of data and shares it with the other device; both sides then XOR the two streams of data together and stores it locally.

After exchanging keys and pads in person, plug the device into a computer like a flash thumbdrive, and (with hypothetical software support) both people can now use the keys for end-to-end encryption without having to worry about authentication, and a utility could perform OTP while keeping track of how much random pad is remaining. If they want more pad, leave the devices plugged in longer. The actual encryption should be performed on the device, so the host computer never sees the keys/pad.

As long as crypto is hard to use, people will rely on centralized men in the middle. A key chain dongle that you could simply connect to your friend's dongle for a few seconds (or longer, if desires) is easy. Instead of trying to solve the entire authentication problem with PKI or web-of-trust, you let people solve the authentication problem themselves, using the social skills they already have. Yes, this isn't useful for communicating with someone you cannot meet physically; use some other solution for those situations.

(Imagine if this became popular and you could simply go to the local branch of your bank and plug your crypto dongle into a kiosk that generates a few months worth of random pad data so all of your online banking is secured by OTP)

[1] OTP requires truly random data, which probably requires some type of hardware entropy generator. Perhaps something like this: http://holdenc.altervista.org/avalanche/

I've been making investment mistakes and trying to learn from them for 15 years now. Recording a couple sentences about your reasons why or why not helps a lot. People aren't naturally good at learning from decisions with long feedback delays -- you have to keep notes.

I wish I had decision notes from earlier life choices, like why I studied EE instead of CS, why I chose my PhD advisor, why I joined companies, got married, etc.
If you thought it was contentious before, just wait until you start lecturing everyone about how they suck at thinking... That's sure going to improve the emotional situation.
Well let's be clear here: I do not expect e.g. the phone system to scan my calls, nor the carriers of my IP traffic to scan my packets. Carriers are not and should not be liable for the traffic they carry.

On the other hand, online "clubs" or services like FB etc. are not neutral carriers, they are content providers or "publishers" who source a lot of their content from the people who use them.

Right or wrong, that's the mental model I'm operating from: you're a carrier and you just take bits from here to there, or you're a kind of club, like a "Sam's Club" but for Internet ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam%27s_club ) and you're responsible for the stuff you stock on your shelves.

Now then, my opinion (such as it is) is that "I won't make enough money" is not a valid reason for not scanning for and preventing CSAM on your internet clubhouse.

Brilliant! Thank you again!
If every electron in the universe came over and cranked that first gear around a hundred times, it still wouldn't be enough to make the last gear visibly move.
After an hour, the 10th gear hasn't perceptibly moved. If you went 10x faster, the 11th gear wouldn't have perceptibly moved. At 100x faster, and you still won't see motion in the 12th gear. For every gear you want to see move, you'll need to spin the first gear exponentially faster!

It's even worse if they helpfully replace the word with a "synonym" (which isn't!) instead of removing it.

Usually the replacement is significantly broader than the original. For example, "Debian" might get replaced with "Linux", giving lots of irrelevant results. Sometimes it will even replace e.g. "FreeBSD" with "Linux", when the whole point of having it in the query was to exclude the irrelevant Linux results.

You use the word "pneumonia" to describe seriousness, but this IS a viral pneumonia. The virus infects the lung first. Detection is through the sputum coughed up from the lung. If you test positive you basically have pneumonia. China's definition of a serious case is blood oxygenation less than 93% without assistance.
SXSW was really bent on going through with this massive event even though smaller events were being cancelled. The spread would likely happen through multiple contacts in airports and since there is a delay in symptoms if any, SXSW woould, in the worst case, been a super spreader event. You could bet lawsuits would have rained on them and likely the City of Austin.

Sometimes, you just got to say no, we will not contribute to spreading this disease inadvertently and take the hit. SXSW organizers are unbelievable.

To the people only thinking of themselves about this just being a "flu", I read this yesterday: https://twitter.com/kumailn/status/1235015662117908481 It is not just about you. He pulled out of events because he wanted to limit contact to avoid spreading it to a vulnerable loved one.
"...I don't think most men are intentionally, actively and on purpose trying to keep women out, but it's a big, big problem that they don't want to talk too much to a woman for fear that it might lead to an affair or a really terrible misunderstanding or gossip"

It's bewildering how everybody knows there are these tremendous informal barriers, that have withstood all past attempts at equal rights, and yet everybody also knows that women have better social skills and emotional intelligence than men.

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

I have, and have had, a very negative reaction to anyone demanding trust beyond what feels right to me. The "golden rule" is central to most people's value systems, I think, and it is completely unimaginable to me that I could or should be able to demand trust as an entitlement.

However, I think your expectation of trust from men is normal, or at least common, based on my personal relationships. I do think that you might consider that not trusting women can and does have significant negatives for men too.

I don't disbelieve in your description of issues people have, but explanations I read - yours or others - tend to sound circular to me and not really explain why things are the way they are.
