This is why the idea that it's never ok to question an accuser is really dangerous. "J" obviously discovered something that way too many people have now discovered: if you drape yourself in the cloak of the victim, you make yourself socially impervious to any critical inquiry. We can and should be disgusted by "J", but it's less about an individual and more about a vulnerability in our system: mob justice and crucifying people outside of the legal system is a very very bad idea. And no, I'm not suggesting we should never take victims seriously, since in discussions of this nature people always want to create strawmen. But I don't think we should just take anonymous commentary with no contact with actual law enforcement seriously.

There's a really good reason we have an innocent-until-proven-guilty system. False accusations can be just as harmful as actual crimes.
It seems like, in the absence of panics, there is a dichotomy between "You should know everything that can happen to your program and account for it." and "If you hit some unknown state, carry on." The first one is impossible, the second sounds dangerous. When you get into this dichotomy, panicking seems like a reasonable third option. We should strive for the first, but avoid the second. Nobody wants their code to panic, but we need to be able to deal with unexpected states.

well the first bread was probably ⅔ wholemeal (500g) and ⅓ white (estimated) and 350ml water. i started with wholemeal only and the result was still very sticky. but maybe i just didn't knead it long enough for the flour to absorb the water.

the second was surely less water although i didn't measure.

i'll have to pay closer attention next time.

Here, I would recommend that mortality rates are not bad. The goal in risk communication is to instill a level of concern equal to the current threat. It's all about context.

If you show infection, death and recovery rates, you have to provide context and help people understand what a thing means.

1-10 scales can make parsing difficult (3 and 4 have the same description right now, for example). Governments, militaries and emergency aid orgs put a lot of effort into color and coding systems.

Give Peter Sandman a Google, and check out his site here:

https://www.psandman.com/

He's an expert in how to talk about scary, hard-to-visualize things (like a viral pandemic).

Also, how old is the data being drawn from, what algorithm do you use to de-conflict the sources, and how do you disclose this to your audience (other than the general about page)? If a source has different refresh rates for countries that it tracks, how are you reflecting that to your audience?

A note, China is missing from your nifty "First 20 days" graph, which maybe you should just call "First 20 days after 200 cases" or something like this to make it clearer what's being tracked.

You do need to appreciate that ycombinator is willing to allow a post like this to exist on their site. It's really awesome that they aren't policing it or anything.
It’s not ok to deliberately over-estimate numbers in order to achieve this goal. That was my original point at the top of this thread.

I have given the reasons that I believe 1/5 is in no way overestimate. I don't have any to think you are arguing in bad faith yourself, simply that you're mistaken on a very important point. However, you are resorting imputing bad faith on my part simply through your disagreement with my argument. That's a pretty bad way to argue and I think indicates a poor approach to this critical question.

The stock was purchased at an 80% discount.

To be clear, it was a stock option, and the option price was 20% of the stock price. So it had to go up 20% to break even. But if it went up 40% you doubled your money.

This is basically what happens behind the scenes at other companies that offer you stock compensation in the form of options. It's just all hidden from you.
Fair enough. I'm not a big card game guy so i understand where you are coming from!
I’m a bit ratted by their inability to press criminal charges. They got a lot of hard evidence and I’d be really amazed if someone crazed enough to do this is going to be an outstanding citizen for the rest of their life. There’s a public interest in that person being named, having this history attached to their name, and restitution to be paid.

I'm in the UK, and am dismayed by the lack of seriousness that people here appear to be taking covid 19. Everyone seems to be out and about, mixing pretty normally - there was even a marching band playing in my town centre today (Bournemouth).

I know there's not strong evidence that cloth masks stop infection, but given their low cost and ease of cleaning (2 minutes in boiling water), why hasn't everyone been issued with one (or given plans to make one) and been told to wear them? Bad optics?

That is an amazingly forward-thinking position that we should applaud. The mask thing will be one of those “obvious” things that we’ll look back on in a couple of years and shake our heads at.

The oven has a couple benefits.

Everybody has one. Most ovens can get down to 200-275 degrees and stay fairly consistent in temperature. You can take the internal temperature of the meat while its cooking, instead of waiting a set amount of time. The meat comes out dry, which saves you having to dry it coming out of the bag before you sear.

Private individuals at businesses have incentives and the opportunity to exercise basic judgment, ask the accuser for more facts, or ask the accused for his or her side of the story.

On the other hand, from 2011-2017, most schools reading the federal Title IX guidance were not only discouraged from listening to the defendant, they found themselves discouraged from listening to the victim. Thus you see a black athlete Grant Neal who was expelled from Colorado State University-Pueblo for raping a trainer, despite the trainer saying that she was fine and not at all raped. (You can't believe her! She's a battered woman.)

Of course, when Betsy DeVos announced changes in 2014, all the commentary you could find was "this is rape culture at work!" but if you're willing to actually look at the cases she cited, I can point you at https://reason.com/2017/09/07/devos-title-ix-example-cases-r...
Was there any evidence of out breaks at the car factories when they had those shut down?
To elaborate, yes Japanese are pretty clean by nature and do have social distancing naturally, but everyone is still taking the subway, the government has not cracked down much. Ubiquitous wearing of masks is the only really unique thing i can think of. (Actually even now not everyone is wearing them, but its still a good percentage and as soon as Japanese feel sick they wear masks) So I’ve come to the conclusion that if Japan isn’t just “lucky” (Lucky after 8 or 9 weeks is probably impossible) it has to be the masks.

So assuming it’s the masks, why have masks stopped the explosion we see elsewhere? We can theorize it must have kept the R rate down (Reproduction rate).

But, I do think a lot of people ARE still getting sick here. I think the government is only testing those with very severe symptoms so we aren’t seeing the true extent of the infection rate. I even think I might have had it a week ago as I had (very minor) similar symptoms. The weird thing is we don’t see a lot of severe cases here in japan. The main thing that I believe the masks are doing is stopping droplets getting spread from infected people (Meaning infected people who wear masks don’t spread the droplets as much). I think this reduces the rate of spread, but also I think reduces the amount of viral load that is getting transferred from infected people and can reduce severity of symptoms.

You reduce Infection Rate and you also reduce Infection Severity (reduce viral load) by wearing masks which combined with japan only testing severe cases leads to the results we see now in Japan.

CarPlay obviously isn’t meant to be safer than not using tech in a car, it’s suppose to be safer than using a cell phone while driving which is most everyone at one time or another. So what masters is how safer it is using the system vs a handheld phone.
The effect of freezing on taste is certainly subjective, but it is not seen to be detrimental to the taste or texture. In fact, several renowned masters are in record as preferring there fish to be raw at purchase and then they freeze them themselves using low temperature deep freezers for set periods of time. I do find the effects of freezing to enhance the preparations, but then I tend to agree with the Japanese philosophy that sushi is about the rice, and the fish is just a condiment.
This study is a like micro-benchmark, and it makes sense to say that phone distracted driving can lead to a more acute loss of road awareness vs. being drunk, because your eyes might not even be on the road.

Women were victimized by a system that was designed to help women. In this case it's even more juicy because its gay women. Even better because its a gay man as the perpetrator.

This gets reads, this gets people's attention, and its less common then the typical case of abuse, making it interesting. It helps that they have more concrete proof the accusations were a lie, so the news paper doesn't have to worry about being on the wrong side of a sensitive topic.

but don't forget about the empathy gap. Not in the news paper, but in society at large. The idea of an innocent man getting caught up in the system is uncomfortable, but people push that thought to the back of their mind and subconsciously rationalise it away as a necessary evil to protect women (and some men) because they can't think of a way to protect the falsely accused that doesn't make it easier to get away with abusing women. In this view the potentially abused women gets more empathy over the potentially innocent man.
Title IX is an entirely Kafkaesque system that has ruined the lives of countless innocent people. This is quite widely accepted most of the time, when it’s simply being used to persecute innocent men, however it amounts to a serious controversy when its turned against a well respected lesbian academic. It’s just ordinary identity politics at work.

Look, I'm not even talking about the legitimacy of the state of Israel. I think it was a mistake to allow its creation but now, now entire generations of Israelis have been born there and that's their country. Period. You cannot roll back history, and especially you cannot expel millions of people to who knows where. So everything you said in your comment is completely pointless. I'll assume you said it in good faith and were not aware of advancing a straw man argument.

The problem is that Israel occupies portions of territory that formally don't belong to it- it drives away the indigenous population, subjects them to every form of violence and harassment, controls their borders and every aspect of their life, and builds settlements on their ground, where it installs its own civilian population. This has been declared illegal many times by all international authorities. It is in blatant contravention of international law. It generates enormous amounts of suffering and hatred. And it is not a state of things, it is a process. It is going on now, it inches a bit further every day and every year.

You say you don't have an opinion, but in fact you repeat exactly the things that those who don't want this process to stop would like to hear from you: that the question has two sides, that it's impossible to say who's right or wrong, that there are many opinions. It's a form of denialism (let's hear the other side, some say this but some say that, etc.).

When the robo call problem spiked on my landline, I was getting 5-10 per day. Then I stated answering the phone with the phrase "Please leave a message at the tone." and made a beep noise. This got the calls down to 0-2 per day after awhile (also, I'm on the do not call list). Most people could tell it was really me and, if not, I could just wait until they said something to respond. I've heard that some organizations call numbers to see if and when actual people pick up and then sell that information to scammers. Signaling to them that the number goes to a machine seemed to reduce scam calls.
Good luck with that. We had an attempted rape on campus. The suspect was from a well-connected local family and consequently the charges were dismissed. The local fishwrapper even published a correction to the weekly police report. Thankfully we have the parallel system and don't have to deal with that student any longer.

I made the same mistake. I insisted that a phone with 50% of the price had 80% of the functionality. That is true but you shouldn't see it relative to other phones but relative to other purchases. Since a smartphone is amazing value for money (low $ per hour used) the rational thing is to buy a top of line model.

In most parts of the world, we have absolutely no idea how far the infection spread from about the end of October to at least February, so we can’t conclusively rule out that kind of error until we can test lots of people for antibodies (this is the only way to confirm a case in a person who has already recovered).

It would require the infection to be very contagious, and it probably would require us to have been pretty unlucky with the timing, but as far as I know none of that is contradicted by the available evidence.
Why frame this as only an either-or? Seems like it's a cheap additional layer of security.
