Personally, I don't believe climate change is a hoax. There's ample evidence indicating climate change is real. But I am certainly convinced climate crisis is mostly nonsense. And I believe most "solutions" proposed are an antithesis to individual liberty.

And thus, statements like this one you made, from my point-of-view, are mostly hysterical:

Ever and ever again when I see some new dire study about how our predatory exploitation of our ecological support system is degrading its capability to actually support us, I think to myself: "This is it. Now they just have to finally start supporting measures to stop killing ourselves." But I always get disappointed - there are still way too many people that absolutely fail to grasp how terminal a situation we're rushing into.
Well, in that case, let's compare: the Grand Est region has about the same population as Denmark, slightly more COVID-19 cases than Denmark (587 vs 514), and more deaths (9 vs 0). And yet, most schools and the administration are still open.

Why does speed matter in that regard? Honestly asking. Because I prefer confirmed and reviewed numbers, quality, over speed here. Daily is more than enough for me. I just wished the WHO situation reports had more depth to the data. But I am not necessarily the target audience of those.

Part of that message isn't wrong. The virus didn't originate in the US.
I have always wondered the same thing. I came to the conclusion that it's pretty difficult to determine that.

I lived and worked as a software developer through the Y2K "crisis" (although I wasn't working on solving the crisis myself). Everyone was very worried about it. Nothing really went wrong in the end.

Was that because there was no problem? Or because everyone was worried about it and actually solved the problem? I don't think it's easy to tell the difference really.

The federal system is indeed much stronger than in other countries (local health, law enforcement, courts, parliaments, school policies, etc) due to lessons learned with fascism.
The US is doing particularly badly (and going for nonsensical solutions; note the most recent one). Various Asian and European states are being much more aggressive. Some US states are also doing the best they can.
I don't know why symmetries related with physics or Lagrangian of the system? Could you give me more specific instructions or some reading materials?
Yup, but the computer isn't _learning_ it, it's already enforced by the fact that what the computer is learning is a time-independent Lagrangian.

(I suppose it's learning a symmetry in the following sense: just _what_ is conserved depends on what the Lagrangian is, and so as it's learning the dynamics it's also learning what the energy is that it should be conserving. But at every point in the training process, there's _some_ thing, which we might as well call "energy", which its model conserves.)
Tardis Machine Server: seamless raw tick historical and realtime crypto data API
not trying to start a political debate but using some very charged rhetoric yourself... right ;)

honestly, this situation is becoming increasingly politicized. bernie supporters/left wing are trying to use it as an excuse/example for pushing their healthcare agenda but the truth is it's not working because not enough people have had to go to the emergency room and received the bill in the mail. More of the criticism seems to focus on trying to make the president appear incompetent. Either way, I don't think it's very effective because the president has destroyed the reputation of most media against him.

the right wing is looking to blame anyone and everyone except themselves and the administration and trump, of course, is trashing democrats and the media saying nothing would have ever been enough.

In short, both sides are just shoring up their existing support. Trump has more to lose right now, and he knows it, due to one of his major selling points being the economic recovery/stock market gains. These are looking very very grim at present. However, he's an excellent salesman and I expect he may find a way through it. He may have to apply a lot of pressure on the democrats for economic stimulus, though, and we will see how that goes. Democrats may hold the line and allow the economy to tank to ensure a Biden victory in November.

Dishonest. THe epidemiologists are recommending closing borders, if and only if there is proper enforced quarantine established at those checkpoints who remain open.

The ones recommending a complete, (aka non-discrimnatory open border practice), are the WHO which is basically a discredited ccp mouthpiece by now.

They even pressured the Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases Graph from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) to rename Taiwan into Taipe & Chinese Environment.
Live on twitter.

The very party who caused this epidemic with mismanagement from the start, gets now barely vailed praise from its WHO for not beeing weak and democratic like the west. Including racistic harassment of all non-chinese wanting to travel to china at this point.
This annoys me to no end. I live in Hong Kong. I speak English. We have 2 official languages here, one of which is English. I travel frequently to Japan as well, with infrequent trips to either Europe or North America.

My 'preferences' and settings are a total disaster. I end up having to go onto the gray market to buy gift cards and prepaid credit cards as I seemingly never can buy stuff online when I want to, as I'm either in the wrong place, or in the wrong language. But I know I'm still me.

What is with this '100% of people in this location read/speak the same?'

What if I want to learn Russian, but I'm in China? Why cant I just tell my computer to show me Russian, and the browser tells the site give me Russian if you have it?

Why is this so hard?

I really dislike things that try to make it easy for me, as all they do is prevent me from being able to function.

> most of humankind lived in small tribes or villages, everyone knew everyone's business and privacy practically didn't exist

No, you are missing the point. The problem is in unequal access to information.

If two neighbors can see each other's business it's not a problem most of the time. It's equal.

If a powerful entity runs large surveillance programs against a large number of citizens and individuals cannot do the same... it's a dictatorship.

> ... people acting like anonymity is some long-standing norm in human society. It's really not. It's relatively new and relatively uncommon.

Not at all. In many societies it was common to be known under a different names in different cities or while traveling. Without IDs and documents people had extremely strong anonymity.

> The issue isn't "identify", nor "trust". It's effort.

This is merely shifting the goalpost in the game of censorship.

How is

>"The adult voting public cannot be trusted to _invest sufficient effort_ to identify 'wrong' beliefs themselves"

functionally different from

"The adult voting public cannot be trusted to identify 'wrong' beliefs themselves"

?

The particular reasons for someone believing that the public cannot be trusted to identify 'wrong' beliefs still assumes that the public cannot be trusted to identify 'wrong' beliefs and puts us right back where we started. Not to mention, how is that a better argument than any other qualification for the same idea? Why not education as opposed to effort? Or experience?

The ultimate issue is that any way you spin it, it leads to a centralized authority being entrusted with the task of determining what is and isn't wrong and that is a fundamental non starter if we are to try and preserve free speech in a meaningful way. No one entity can be trusted to be the arbiter of morality for everyone.

The price tag is exactly why you can't "buy directly" as you say. It's not currently intended for consumers - they understand the price point makes that a non-starter. Given that the COGs aren't going down anytime soon, I'm in complete agreement with that choice.

On the flip side, if you've got an actual business case for hololens, acquiring them is rather trivial. And quite frankly for the use-cases I've seen hololens deployed, $3,500 a pair is barely a rounding error in the project budget.
Shopify has become the default platform for eCommerce for people who have their own marketing channels (let's be honest, the main draw of selling on Amazon is they are a default shopping search engine). I've noticed a lot of "influencers" with strong brands have started shopify stores to sell clothing lines etc. If you can get eyeballs outside the Amazon search results, shopify is probably where you're directing them.

Servo is essentially Mozilla's Rust browser test ground, and my understanding is that it is not meant to stand on its own as a browser engine.
It depends. Sometimes a repository can cover all needs with relatively few and relatively generic methods, sometimes specialized database interactions can be application logic layered on top of a much less specialized repository, sometimes a repository becomes unpleasant because it should be split up, etc.
One reason more to never look at secondary sources. Stick to the primary ones.

Nowadays every "data scientist" can pull a data set from the internet and toy around with it. Build a map and website and put it online. Without review of neither the results nor the source material. Share it on Twitter, reddit, Facebook and the numbers are out there. Unverified and impossible to take back.

I really wished people would stop doing that. Play around for yourself if you want, but keep it to yourself.
That might be so, however there are enough names from enough reputable research centers to take it at face value. If we need to wait for printed peer-reviewed journal papers to combat an active pandemic then we might be waiting a while!

A couple of other factors:

Governments don't seem to be able to act based on non-local information. Once the hospitals fill up _here_ , then action is taken. Hospitals filling up somewhere else causes no action.

There appears to be concerted disinformation operation underway, using the same outlets used for politics. I live in a "red" part of the US and can see comments from people on local TV news posts, and I talk to other local people. It's pretty clear there is lots of false information being propagated: comments like "Media stop overblowing this", "it's just the flu", "we can still shake hands here, it's a long way away" (that was a teacher at last night's parent teacher meetings). If the population don't have a realistic view of the situation then how can government take the necessary steps?
The problem with what you are doing is you are taking in a lot of information, and then you come here and to Twitter to repeat the most disturbing sounding factoids without any critical thinking and without any consideration for context, all for attention. This is really offensive to me, which is why I react so strongly to it.

Re CFR: If you are allowed to cherry pick a narrowly defined set of cases, you can make this value look any way you want. If that's the argument you are retreating to, you simply have nothing to say, because it is grossly misleading.

Re South Korea: numbers of people tested is on a stable exponential trajectory since the very beginning, unaffected by how many church members are tested. The exponential growth factor for the number of confirmed cases has been stably decaying since the very beginning. There is simply nothing to indicate that the artifact you suggest exists, yet you take a single sentence you found online to claim South Korean growth isn't actually slowing. What the fuck dude?
Something I've never been clear on... what can and can't be banned through executive order?
I see someone downvoted and today'a s frustrating day, so let me ask for more.

English is basically the world's default language (like it or not). Sites that translate partially, but sometimes show English text instead of the language specified by the browser expect the user to understand the world's default.

A language inferred from geoip is the user's area's default language. Sites that show that language instead of that specified by the browser expect the user to understand the area's default.

These two behaviours seem really quite similar to me. Their technical backgrounds differ, but the resulting behaviour is much the same. One has been widely accepted since the dawn of the web, AFAICT, which leads me to believe that the other has been just as acceptable for just as long. And thus, my answer to "when did it become acceptable" is "it always was, you just didn't notice".
> Are personal costs of the pandemic encouraging people to support subsidised healthcare, and therefore a left-wing party?

The entire free-world except the US has subsidized healthcare far in excess of the the American system.

Which is to say: no one in Australia is looking at $1000 COVID-19 tests.

I think Hanlon's razor applies here: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".

I'm in Spain, one of the countries that is doing way too little, way too late. When I see the measures and statements from our politicians, I don't see a machiavellian plan, I see stupidity. In fact, a prominent member of the government has been infected after attending feminist demonstrations on March 8 that anyone reasonably informed and intelligent knew shouldn't have been held in the first place, others also attended and could follow. If they were such diabolical masterminds, I doubt they would have done that...

But a CSS px isn't a physical pixel. In practice, it often used to be, because a CSS px was conceived in terms of typical desktop displays before the higher DPI monitors and mobile devices we use today were around. However, 1px in CSS often corresponds to a 2x2 or even 3x3 set of pixels on modern screens with their much higher physical pixel densities.

I think this is the most telling answer any of us, who stand mouth agape at the inaction, will ever receive: rather than join together in any semblance of community to overcome a common problem, we have to walk headfirst into knowable horrors, so that some can continue with their myth of individual liberty.

All I can think of is the past few weeks where posters here on HN quickly wrote off any mention of covid-19 being anything worse than the common flu that no one ought to worry too much about it.
