“A new study says driver reaction times using this tech were worse than motorists with alcohol or cannabis in their system.” Alcohol impacts more than reaction times, but a drunk driver can actually be paying attention to the road. On the the other hand someone looking at a screen at best can use peripheral vision which may not be enough. Touch screens at the bottom of the console are sadly common and unusually bad.
So your plan is to essentially let this spread unchecked to save the economy. Unfortunately, that’s not how this will play out. That’s how you collapse a medical system and see mortality rates above 5%, and almost certainly wreck the economy anyway. There’s a reason literally no country has done that. Thank science you’re not in charge of anything.

There isn’t some magical good option or plan here. It’s a choice between terrible, terrible options, and you’re sticking your head in the sand and ignoring that.

Completely wrong. I approximated the lowest part of a logistic function with e^x, which is reasonable for small values. Given it matched well with professional epidemiologists' graphs, it suggests I'm getting it approximately right.

Mine and yours. Don't stick 'reasonable' on your replies and suppose it insures you in any way cos it doesn't.
Ah. I try to do the card creation while I'm taking the notes in the first place. I'm not sophisticated with clozed yet, just Front/Back for Anki right now. That works well both for org-anki and for polar bookshelf.

Readwise lets me make an annotation clozed while reviewing it, which is nice. It auto-converts highlights into questions.

I'm experimenting with different card types in org-anki, using yasnippets. That's a nice workflow. I need to look into auto-collapsing them after I'm done editing them.

> Angela Merkel doesn’t do drama and she doesn’t give speeches on TV.

I've seen this reported a few times, and it's always stated and never explained. My question: why doesn't she?

Not "why doesn't she do drama", although digging into her biography would also be interesting. Why doesn't she give speeches on TV?

I suspect some of this is because there's a split between the President and the Chancellor of Germany, but I don't know much about the politics there. Being from America, I don't easily grok the difference between "head of state" and "head of government". I also don't often hear about the German President, making it seem like the Chancellor is more important.
The nicer they are in the interview the more that tends to indicate you will not receive an offer.

I used to wonder why this was, but kept seeing these types of anecdotes pop up again and again.

The best conclusion I have come to, which makes some sense, is that when you do well in an interview yet also some factor means you won't be moving on...the interviewer out of guilt feels compelled to be extra nice to you.

The threat has been known for months. But regardless, there are several factories around the world that are being repurposed to start producing masks immediately.

While mask production ramps up, it would be essential to stop spreading the misinformation on official channels that masks don't work, and also teach people how to correctly wear them. There are lots of people on the streets with masks pulled down on their chin or covering their mouths only.

Everyone should wear a mask, and if they don't have a mask, everyone should be teached to create makeshift masks, because almost anything that is a barrier in front of your face, such as a scarf, will help with reducing the spread of the virus.

Most infections are either asymptomatic, or cause mild symptoms that are not necessarily identified as COVID-19, but those people are still spreading the virus, because government officials are telling them to not wear masks.

What's more twisted, those who do wear masks out of precaution are called out and sometimes attacked because of this misinformation.

Small city-states (Singapore, Hong Kong) with dense urban populations were always more cautious about epidemics.

And it's not like no one was speaking about how unprepared the 'West' has been for years. (Bill Gates' TED talk is making the rounds now that talks exactly about this.)

It's not ideology. Not morality. It's simply a matter of cost-benefit analysis. Public health has been put on the backburner for decades, life expectancy was slowly creeping up, people were getting lazy, and the biggest problem was obesity.

And even though experts were constantly recommending more spending, more stockpiles, etc. it found no traction in politics. And here we are.

I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I've been using this method on and off for years with great results. In fact I'm just finishing off eating a few slices from a loaf that just came out of the oven now!

The idea is that you pre-make dough in batches and refrigerate. Then on baking day (every 2-3 days for me) you shape a loaf and bake it. All the baking day tasks add up to less than 5 minutes spread over a couple of hours, and the prep is really quick too!

The basic recipe is the best starting point: https://artisanbreadinfive.com/2013/10/22/the-new-artisan-br...

Sure, that seems syntactically more cumbersome than 'if let Some(foo) = xs.get(n)' or 'xs.get(n).map(|foo| ...)' in Rust, but yes, you can do it. As I said, because both the Rust and Haskell versions are more cumbersome than using the version that raises an exception/panics, both Rust and Haskell's standard libraries choose to give you a syntactically-easier alternative that isn't a total function.

All I'm saying is that Haskell doesn't seem to do anything different here - Rust has incorporated the lessons from Haskell's type system. (As someone who fell in love with Haskell a long time ago but never got to use it professionally, this is basically why I like Rust.) Is there something Haskell does that Rust does not do? I'm not trying to say Haskell is insufficient - I'm just refuting the claim that Rust is insufficient and should act more like Haskell.
Rust standard library is dramatically more useful than C’s. C doesn’t offer any kind of collections in its libraries. Every C project just grows its own differently broken hash maps and linked lists.

The theoretical modes and approaches that have emerged and become dominant since the 1950s have, in Wolf-Meyer’s view, been tainted by their origins in a context marked by a ‘sense of comfort, a lack of hardship, an acceptance of global, national, and local power relations, [and] an acceptance of a certain kind of inevitability inspired by a general level of prosperity’ (9). Social theory, he contends, has been defanged by the complacency of European and North American societies over the last several decades, and has been too willing to accept that ‘there is no alternative’.

Now there is.

Except Oracle isn't the copyright holder for majority of the code, as in fact, it cannot relicense huge chunks of OpenZFS code (which indeed is used in big commercial products), and it cannot "take back" code licensed under CDDL - it can relicense their own copy, not the one in OpenZFS, because there's no "version 1 or newer" clause that allows backdoor change to license like typical GPL case.

To summarize:
- Oracle isn't the only copyright owner
- Oracle can't take back CDDL license
- Oracle can't introduce new version of CDDL and magically change the rules

The biggest profile case where Alexa audio recordings got turned over was during a murder trial after a judge's orders.

I am not entirely clear that the ramifications of Kyllo v. United States are as dire as OP is stating for Alexa-like devices. How exactly do the police freely gain access to a "in general public use" Alexa-like device that is secured through something like an Amazon account and secured WPA password-protected WiFi network? Amazon would have to turn over credentials or the police would have to hack your account or WiFi somehow...

From the article:
"Despite their name, herring worms can be found in a variety of marine fish and squid species. When people eat live herring worms, the parasite can invade the intestinal wall and cause symptoms that mimic those of food poisoning, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In most cases, the worm dies after a few days and the symptoms disappear."

> If you don't want a panic to take down the whole system, you can isolate the code in a thread and use a supervision tree, or use `catch_unwind` to let the thread perform cleanup and then continue from a known state.

Playing devil's advocate: with unwinding panics (which are necessary for these two approaches), it's harder to make sure all the data structures the thread was using are left in a coherent state. It's not as bad as exception safety in C++, but it does have some similarities. Just take a look at the tricks the Rust standard library uses to keep everything sane even if the stack unwinds (structs implementing Drop normally called SomethingOnDrop, for instance CopyOnDrop), or std::sync::Mutex poisoning.

I've not done 17/7 or 16/8, but I've done 1/0, i.e. alternate day fasting for quite a while. Compatibility with social life aside, I find it much harder to sleep after not having eaten for 24 hours, and it didn't get significantly easier to fall asleep after a few months. My sleep would also be lighter, so I'd wake up more often from some random noise.

I don't know how much this plays a role in 17/7 etc, but if it does, skipping dinner might make sticking to it harder than skipping breakfast.

It's not a problem, it's just incomplete. From what I've seen, most studies (especially with animals) start out with only male participants, to eliminate the effect of menstruation and the related hormones, which we've seen can be very potent.

This makes it easier on the researchers trying to conduct a preliminary study. The limitations of the study just mean we can't necessarily generalize the results to both men and women, people of different weights, (nor, I suspect, people of various races,) or even, given the sample size, all men of normal weight.

But first we see if we can detect an effect in "normal weight" males, and then we have doubts about its applicability in other populations we test those populations. This of course isn't the most thorough way of experimentation, but it's the biggest bang for your buck when your resources and/or available subject pool are limited.
