yea but we dont have any data as to why? is it because some number of them were over/under anesthetized? is it because of the triage criteria?
I do agree that palliative care is a critical discussion because of the mortality rates for the very elderly-- some people are just to frail to ever have good outcomes from intibation.

by the way, the critically interesting thing in that piece from the lancet is that the rational for discouraging non invasive respiration is a lack of good masks and negative pressure rooms. These are problems where I think there has been an historical lack of imagination and are ripe for some novel solutions.
> Somehow, all of this is constitutional, and these countries didn't descend into Orwellian hell after WW2. Context matters, and desperate times often require desperate measures.

The US has been stripping rights from its citizens as its national pastime since WW2. We spy on our citizens, and the world. We took away the rights of minorities to own arms, then extended that out to the rest of the populace piece by piece. We've manufactured new laws that allow civil forfeiture, put innocent people into "plea out or risk your entire life" situations, and allow the complete disregard for the 4th amendment (see police dog signals, no-knock raids, etc). Oh, and we decided that we'd just imprison every person of a specific group during the war.

If the technology existed to make all of the above easier, it would have been used without question. It exists now.

Yes, war is another evil. The existence of one evil doesn't somehow make the other thing 'not evil' or even 'less evil'

I'm not 'quoting' 1984 I'm using the term Orwellian because everyone understands that to mean 'over-reaching surveillance state that does bad things to people' which is exactly what is being discussed.

There's a weird sort of what I feel like is sort of skewed psudo world of conferences that don't fit right in line with ... what I do even if the topic of the conference is right on target.

Conference speakers have some patterns of topics and they're useful and I appreciate them, but they often touch on some topics / have their own way of looking at things.

Other speakers seem to be all about spelling out a laundry list of platitudes topics that are even more disconnected ... I appreciate those less.

Sales pitches ... not interested.

Not to say they're useless but there are a huge variety of workplaces, developers, and all sorts of things that work differently, and conferences tend to be very focused on their general POV about how things work and are done.

I'm not sure I worded anything right but the conference culture always seems a bit 'off' for me.

Showcase for multi-module Android architecture
Having created mostly static in excel, I found the premise of d3 awesome! As the complexity to use it was kind of overwhelming, I ended up using plotly.js and its react wrapper for an analytical app at work.

Whilst this works great and is super straightforward, there's many little things that you can't easily control in plotly (and other similar libraries). They come with some bugs/quirks that perhaps are meaningless to 95% of their users, but limit me from making my ideal dashbaord.

E.g. plotly doesn't seem to support formatting a date as a week with a ISO8601 (%V): https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/424 and many other little things.

What's the best way to use d3 with react these days, then? Is there some recommendation from Mike or someone else who is experienced in this area?
Same... I've been played.
Just finished the game.

Not sure if I should write it here - after I did the Time Spike, in the new timeline, I still had the option of probing outwards and exploring the network. Is that supposed to be there?

Really enjoyed this. Great job, mr-ron! It is the best game of this type that I have played. I like that it had something of a plot and didn't soak up as much time as paperclip game (which I got bored of after 3 hours).
Localstorage is limited to a domain, a common security model in the browser also used by cookies, and prevents cross-origin leaks... (unless a developer volunteers to expose the data via postmessage whose destination can also be limited to specific origins).

This is also why it is important to load your apps JS on your domain or same-origin and not offloaded to a 3rd party server which you might not control (libraries like jQuery CDNs and whatnot are still a minor risk, particularly from a privacy perspective, but not as bad, although I never saw the point with the large variety of versions).
You could probably do it yourself if you wanted, I don't see any reason why not. I suppose the main concern is whether anyone else is already working on it, and if it will be a race. If you want to work on it, I suggest you post saying so, and start working on a design document to post on the RFC page.
Thanks for the suggestion. If you refresh, open the DevTools console with F12, and type `main.viewer.inputManager.releaseOnMouseUp = false`, the grab will stick until you press Escape now.
I think the crux is in the wording. For me, being "in it together" means if you're struggling I'll struggle with you. The bookstore is losing business and the landlord, in the spirit of helping out, should lose business as well.

Maybe OP is struggling making their own payments because they don't have the rent money. But ultimately it seems the bookstore ends up with the rough end of the deal. The landlord will recover deferred rent, but the bookstore will not get their lost business back.

To clarify, I applaud OP for doing something that eases the stress of payment. But I think the wording could have been better.

Well, patio11 said several years ago that tarsnap should charge a lot more. But even at its current prices, the service is way too expensive for personal backups that run into hundreds of GBs. Personal data may not be significantly amenable to deduplication. So almost all the data will be counted for billing. It may be a good solution for tiny backups that run into a few MBs and/or have a lot of duplicated data across the filesystem that's being backed up.

You know our emergency grain reserves? The reserves that hold up to 4 million metric tons of wheat, corn, sorghum, and rice, in case food supplies are interrupted?

Yeah. They sold everything in the reserves back in 2008. Since then, the trust is solely a cash reserve, invested in low-risk, short-term securities or instruments.

How the hell is cash supposed to save us, if there isn't actually any physical grain to be had?

When all this passes, I wonder what lessons people will take away regarding the other huge complex system elephant-in-the-room: climate change.

With covid, we've seen the climate drama play out in a rapid 3-month microcosm (both what's happening and what the climate doomsday-ists say will happen): denial, dismissal of its severity, ignorance towards the science and experts, incompetent government response until it's too late, widespread disruptions, stock market collapse, the connected officials catching wind of this early and hitting their personal exits, etc. The idealogical debate going on now with covid is what's the acceptable tradeoff between economic/corporate welfare versus literally human lives.

But we've also seen positive trends too: individuals are taking matters into their own hands by 3D printing medical hacks around ventilator shortages, and manufacturers are retooling and mobilizing industrial capabilities towards those same needs.

Covid is the current systemic crisis -- we need all-hands on deck for it. And as we've seen with the shelter-in-place orders, if it's not voluntary it's going to be forced. Question is can we learn from it and be humbled by it enough to seriously tackle the existential systemic crisis on our doorsteps.

Also worth noting is that OSM was on CC-BY-SA version 2 prior to the change. If I'm remembering correctly, version 3 or 4 of the CC licenses made it more amenable to databases, but I'll have to do a little more digging to see if my memory is serving me correctly...

Six Years of the GitHub Security Bug Bounty Program
By Gordon Kelly, who gained notoriety for his "nasty surprise" set of iOS articles he'd put out whenever there was a new iOS update. Glad to see he's still at it.
Same. We momentarily considered adding Apple Login to our app when they changed the rules a couple weeks back, but instead we are removing all social login and migrating all accounts to (email/username)/password. Why?

Because a) it's even more code we now have to support, both in our apps even on android and on web -- a huge investment we are not prepared to make, and b) because for what we do, we actually do need to know the user is who they say they are (we offer the ability to contract a service between third parties, which means anonymity is NOT desired). I was never really comfortable using social login at all, for that second reason, but was pressed to by my peers; after Apple's shenanigans we came to the mutual decision that it was time to cut the cord. The login screen is already busy enough, we don't need yet another button. So we'll simplify.

For this latest change, it won't affect us much because I have always made it a policy neither to trust, nor to rely on, the data in Local Storage, and only to use it for performance boosting via caching. If data isn't there, it isn't there, and we go get it. This is largely due to historical reasons where browsers have always borked the LS implementation in one way or another, but it's beneficial now in that it won't really change anything for us.

I do feel for folks that are using it for genuine storage though, I know some apps that use it in order to AVOID storing private data on their servers, which will now have problems and be forced to reduce privacy in order to adapt.

This is definitely a power play on Apple's part to further weaken the web ecosystem. Device sales have been falling for years, they know their cash cow is their 30% cut on app purchases and IAP, and they aren't going to let the browser cut into that. Any "privacy" benefit in this case is purely incidental (and as noted above I believe it will do the opposite in many cases).
We are using LMDB as the key/value store, so the documents are memory-mapped (usually on disk, and in memory when needed)
