That's what regulation is for. If the regulations "even the playing field" across the industry, then such planning isn't a cost that is actively reducing your competitive posture in the marketplace, although global markets make that really hard.

Of course regulation is a no-no to GOP libertarian UofChicago Ayn Rand cultists in charge of America.

Disasters, either at the personal level of home fires all the way up in scale to pandemics and civilization stuff really highlight how myopic libertarians are.

And they aren't even really against regulation. They are just against regulations that don't benefit them, while the vast majority won't protest regulations that benefit them.

> do we want it at the expense of truth?

I’m confused by that, what do you mean? What here is untrue? What is the “truth” that should be reported here? Someone died of COVID, someone who was young and didn’t have other health factors, which is abnormal compared to what we’ve heard about nearly all other cases of COVID death so far.

Nobody claimed this is somehow a huge number of cases, and I think it’s well understood - and not being challenged here — that old people and sick people have much, much higher risk factors for dying of Coronavirus.

But isn’t it worth knowing that the risk distribution does not start at 70 years old, that it starts at 18 and goes up?
You're at really high risk in that living situation.

Does she not have another place she can stay? I'm assuming she is aware of the risk to you?

Never met you before, but as a fellow human being that situation sounds very high risk for you.

I'm an applied mathematician. I don't do much theorem proving in my day to day work, though I have worked closely with people who do. In my experience, the "guessing" is just half of what makes really good mathematicians really good. The other part is verification: taking intuition and turning it into proof. Most of the time the proof works out exactly as one would expect, occasionally one discovers something -- maybe a technical wrinkle that can be overcome with a bit more effort but requires a new idea, maybe a major conceptual gap overlooked before. I'm not a professional programmer or an electrical engineer, but I've been around people who were very good at those things, and being able to think simultaneously at a conceptual level and dig down to the nitty gritty details are both important.

In short, good mathematicians make correct guesses because they've been down the wrong path many times, and know where their intuition may lead them astray.

The thing about math (and most other subjects) is that at the undergrad level, we teach mostly the nitty gritty stuff. In PhD courses we gradually start to teach how to think at a more conceptual level. But the part that I find both hardest and most rewarding -- taking vaguely understood ideas and giving them precise mathematical formulation -- isn't done much in math departments.

Edit: I know I'm not addressing your point directly, which I think is a good one. More clarifying some of the points raised in the article from my perspective.
That's not correct, nor misleading. The breakeven point would need to be met on the day of expiration. If it shot up 10% tomorrow I would be profitable. I'd still have the value associated with theta less volatility.
But assuming this person had an unknown pre-existing condition is no comfort at all. It just means that anyone could equally have an unknown pre-existing condition that would similarly render then susceptible.

You can still do it, for a limited time. Your mission critical app will work offline if you are not planning to isolate your device from the internet forever. I know this doesn't solve the issue but I believe it is the lesser evil.

If it is valuable, maybe browser is not the best medium for it. Here, Apple's anti-consumer practice with its App Store becomes more relevant than Safari's localStorage algorithms.

I think looking at ANY company as the savior of privacy is a waste of time. Companies have proven time and time again that they are unable to self-regulate this. Only way forward is to introduce legislation that makes it illegal to track users using privacy-invasive practices, otherwise we'll never get rid of it. A company can be privacy-preserving today, but then the leadership changes or acquisition happens, and now they change their practices, without informing users.

I simply see no technological solution to this problem, it'll always be a cat-and-mouse game, until governments catch up and makes it illegal.

I'm eager to hear if someone here does have any solution to this problem though.

> highly unlikely but not impossible

Looking for something else to blame when you agree that it's "highly unlikely but not impossible" simply shows how unintuitive statistics are.

How many people are known to have COVID in the US? 55,000 officially, probably 3-10x that, let's say 100k for a nice round number.

Is 1 out of 100k a "highly unlikely but not impossible" chance? Sure. So you don't need to assume that there must be other causes in the absence of other evidence.

It's not "the size of your logs", it's adverts, specifically.

Misrepresenting the argument, and name-calling, also don't help.

There is also the fact that not including ads would require less labour than including them, even if removing them requires further labour. being "entitled" to correct behaviour isn't unreasonable. IS it OK for me to spam you, because I don't owe you shit either. morality is a society/community-level contract. It doesn't matter what is owed at a labour level, quid-pro-quo is you don't put adds in npm, we all don't put ads in npm. Breaking a social convention should require community consensus.
I welcome medical device manufacturer experts to put out a proven, open, manufacturable design, but I'm not holding my breath.

The real issue here is probably not where the factories are located, but the for-profit medical device industry where flexibility and excess capacity are liabilities. The same model that is good at reducing the price of consumer crap is probably not the the right model for things we may actually need. DOD supply chains are much more nationalized but I doubt they are substantially more flexible because there is not much incentive for a for-profit company to do that.

I think they're related; healthy people often (implicitly) assume they are healthy because they have done nothing wrong to deserve being ill. This then causes them to act with unexamined cruelty towards people who are ill.
I completely agree with us being in a "post-truth" era. And both sides are responsible for this. You have everything from people denying basic biological science to everything else in between. To be fair, some people are aware of the risks are are willing to roll the dice. Keep in mind that some of the elderly who are stubborn grew up before we had many of our modern vaccines such as measles etc.. Some of the really old ones even before antibiotics were around.

I know some who are of the opinion that they could die at any point anyways so they would rather just live life. Some also worry that prolonged quarantines could damage the country and decimate small businesses along with the middle class. For them they would rather take the risk and sacrifice for a better future for their kids. Of course there are others who are self centered jerks, but the point is that there are good arguments on both sides.

Also, with post truth... A lot of people who were, up until this pandemic started, denying basic biological facts. Some of that ideology had even begun to makes its way into the major research and medical schools. That doesn't help with credibility when the same individuals start saying that everyone needs to quarantine.

The same people who were censoring people based on ideology, at times over facts, are now claiming that they are censoring "mis-information". Once again, many people are naturally skeptical. In many ways this is one of the natural result of "post truth" fiction and ideology being favored over facts. We reap what we sew.
I just want to point out that the public health authorities and the news media in the United States have completely lied about the efficacy of face masks.
Their goal was to preserve a dwindling stockpile of N95 masks, and in the process they told the public that face mask of any kind don't help prevent the spread of the disease and this is patently false.

so let's keep this in mind before we get in our high horse about people not listening to the media and the government because of this crap. The R0 of the disease is much lower in countries where everyone is wearing face masks of any kind.

Everyone on reading this should Google the fact that that homemade face mask made out of cloth are actually highly effective in reducing the spread of this illness.
I don't care about the justification. It's just wrong.

I said it's irrational, right? :)

Agreed. Per capita they are not the richest, whatever their figures say. Much of usd health spending is just numbers on paper, they don't have the resources.
I don't think it is a disservice, and it's not just a "few" or "many" who are relatively well off.

The US has one of the highest median incomes in the world, and no one with higher is even a tenth as populous.

It's perfectly fair to call us the richest country. That we don't have institutions to match is a shame all the more because of our richness. We had/have the resources. We foolishly didn't use them.

The fatality rate grows beyond 2% when hospitals get overwhelmed with patients and turn them away.

The unique characteristics of this virus mean that it's very easily transmitted and often needs intense treatment.

Throwing around the idea of killing 2% (or more) of our entire population in the span of a year by letting 100% of them get infected by a virus we just discovered just so that we can continue going shopping or whatever stupid shit we were going to do is something a psychopath would suggest.

> Only a government can and should be preparing for really bad things that might never happen.

How can a govt predict and stock up all the unforeseen events. Wouldn't there be an opportunity cost to for these preparations just like to a private institution. Govt also has limited set of resources, ppl would probably probably choose to fund better roads than prepare for once in a lifetime event. I cannot imagine any politician being able to sell idea of making huge investments for things that might never happen.

Govt also runs on the idea of "profit" , profit in terms on demonstrable results. Otherwise ppl get voted out.
> "This is a waste of resources, for something that will probably never happen in our lifetime, if ever."

Well, whether they were right or not largely depends on what you prepared for and how you did it I assume. How does a bank prepare for a pandemic? Stockpile hand sanitizer and toilet paper?
There are two ways we can go about this. We can either take a closer look at the Lindemann theorem, or we can talk about the definition of “transcendental number”. I’m not going to put a full proof here.

If you look at the Lindemann theorem, you can transform the equation so that it uses π instead of e. Multiply all of the exponents by i (which is algebraic!) and then use Euler’s identity. You end up with the same formula, but with π instead of e.

However, if we already know that π is transcendental (which is proven by the Lindemann theorem using the above technique), we can rewrite any linear combination of B = {1, π, π², π³, …} as P(π) where P is a polynomial with coefficients in ℚ. Because π is transcendental, we know that P(π)=0 only if P is the zero polynomial (that is the definition of transcendental number).

In general, one of the big tricks here is that the set of polynomials is a vector space, and the powers B = {1, x, x², x³, …} span the entire vector space.
Battery analytics software startup Twaice raises €11M Series A
This is how I use OBS as well. I use a Tricaster Mini, and it has the ability to do a live stream of its output as a feature. However, it taxes this little computer to such an extent that the external power supply gets incredibly hot (too hot to touch). I now use OBS on a laptop to create the stream relieving the Tricaster of that duty. The Tricast power supply doesn't even get warm now.

I meet doubters all the time who tell me that "home made masks make it worse" when the masks (not the n95 respirators) worn by nurses, that are loose fitting but prevent particles of saliva from entering nose or mouth are generally accepted as helpful.

Most of what I've seen so far seems to suggest it works more like AIDs, where it weakens something (in this case, epithelial cells in the lungs) which allows other opportunistic issues to arise (bacterial pneumonia for example). So rather than dying "from the virus", you die from another underlying issue. Similar to how AIDs doesn't kill you, it just makes it easier for everything else to kill you

Right, but then you take on a bunch of baggage you don’t have in a GC setting. For instance if you want to make zillions of these objects and delete them you are paying overhead for lots of allocations and deallocations made heavier by the reference counting. You pay time overhead for atomic increment/decrement, and if there are cyclic structures then you pay a big price in the code complexity to deal with them properly and not cause memory leaks.
