> But one mathematician who prefers to be quoted anonymously says that editors and referees handling these papers might have been in a nearly impossible situation. “If the best mathematicians spend time trying to work out what’s going on and fail, how can one referee on his own have any chance?”

I totally disagree. When someone is making extraordinary claims, the burden is on them to go the extra mile to explain their reasoning, none of which Mochizuki has done. The easy decision in this case should be to leave things at the current "default" state unless a higher burden of proof is met.

I think it reflects especially poorly that when confronted with criticisms that Mochizuki just waved the criticisms away with what was basically a "you mere mortals misunderstood my greatness", without taking the effort to engage and explain himself. I'm not in the math community so could be misunderstanding, but that's certainly the sense I got reading this article.
Yes, knowing “just enough to be dangerous” is a thing and this article just doused it with gasoline.

Please clarify that. If virus gets on my mask, most of it would have gone in my nose if there were no mask. Even if a tiny portion of it transfers to my hands while doffing, it’s safer on my hands than in my nose. I can also wash my hands after and during doffing as you say.

You say that most infection in hospitals happens during doffing, but that’s precisely because the PPE is very effective at keeping the virus out of HCW’s noses. If they had leaky PPE, they would be getting infected while wearing it. It might be that doffing is 1/50 of the risk of going in unprotected, but at the viral loads in a COVID ICU, you’re that 1/50 is still a huge risk.

For an average person in lower risk environments, proper doffing may be valuable at reducing risk, but I strongly suspect that just wearing a mask cuts risk a whole lot.

I feel like what you're talking about gets really close to the Roth test and I can see how that might be a factor for Apple pulling your app but leaving others.

There's a lot of amateur porn stars on social media that call themselves models. There's a lot of models that aren't.

I don't know how you create an app where people pay money to chat to models with racy instagram photos and discriminate between who's making pornography and who's not.

Besides your singular anecdote, do you have any evidence that frontline staff were notified of throttling? Everything that's come out so far says otherwise. It's a key part of the class action lawsuit to which Apple agreed to settle.

It's possible that some staff deduced that replacing the battery would help, based on personal observations, but they were never advised by corporate to do this as policy. As such, the vast majority of them were not recommending battery replacements.

You must have got lucky.
Good points, but that could be generalized to say that we might as well look only at the worldwide spread. But we look at countries because policies tend to follow those boundaries, so we can see how different choices affect outcome. In the case of the US, we should ignore the national total and look at individual states, because that is where nearly all the policy decisions are made. This might be true of other nations, as well.
OK, here it goes:

* Bookmarks - as a Chrome user, I'm signed in and I'm syncing my bookmarks. I suppose the fact that I'm annoyingly pedantic kind of helps it because my bookmarks menu is as organized as it can get: https://i.imgur.com/3XwO5rU.png With this in mind, searching, tagging and so on is a non-issue.

* Notes - that kind of depends. If it's something on the go, Keep does it for me.

* For large data, I'm using a bucket where I just shove everything there, cron for certain folders on all my computers, rsync and that's that. Much like the first point, my pedantic nature takes care of searching and tagging.

* For personal data it's a cloud storage but the sync is custom built(linux and android): encrypts everything with and syncs it. And a small computer at home which pulls everything and keeps it locally(still encrypted, key is kept away and I pull it out only if I need to). That is the part which is largely unorganized but I only keep personal documents there so it's 40-50mb of encrypted data so not a big deal if I need to find something.

* Snippets - github/gitlab, whichever is more accessible at the moment.

I agree, not necessarily because publishing in a journal one is involved in is uncommon, but rather because putting one's work there although this work is disputed in the community clearly signals that one has not managed to build consensus and does not want/is not able to fight the good fight. If it was an incremental addition to well-established work that hardly anyone in the community can dispute, it would be a different story.
>The survivors/protagonists of the zombie plague are the viewpoint the audience is intended to empathize with, but their response to the shambling horde is as brutal and violent as any plantation owner's reaction to their slaves rising, and it speaks to a peculiarly American cognitive disorder, elite panic.

Elite panic is the phenomenon by which rich and/or privileged people imagine that in times of chaos all social constraints break down and everyone around them will try to rob, rape, and murder them. To some extent this reflects their own implicit belief that humanity is by nature grasping, avaricious, amoral, and cruel, and that their status depends on power and violence. It's a world-view you'd expect of unreconstructed pre-Enlightenment aristocrats, or maybe a society dominated by a violent slave-owning elite.

This is such a salient point. It's something I've noticed when someone recommended me The Walking dead years ago. It's horrendous how reactionary and borderline fascist that show is in its nihilistic display of humanity where tribal survival is all that matters and every individual encountered is almost certainly some sort of rapist or cannibal and just needs to be stomped out. At one point I was thinking if the show is actually pushing this narrative so hard as to parody it but it certainly doesn't seem to be viewed that way.

This pandemic is really shining light on many flimsy and questionable business models. In good times, it looks great on paper to own a business with no inventory and whose sole purpose is to be a marketing middleman between people offering a service and those in need of a service.

But in bad times, income dries up—in this case, extremely quickly—and the flaws of that business model are exposed.

Airbnb, coworking spaces, Getaround, and home services companies are just a few examples of this model. Bird/Lime also have this issue and will likely collapse as well—both have laid off most or all of their staff (Bird in particular handled it poorly.)
I think most people normally run on thinner margins. Personally, I probably end up with more food etc. in the house than I need during normal times. Even so, I've definitely picked up some things that happened to be available which weren't really at my usual informal restock level yet. I'm talking about things that I probably have a good 2-3 week supply of and getting some more anyway.

ADDED: Part of it is that a lot of people in cities don't have a lot of storage space. Furthermore, a lot of people also can't really afford to lay in large quantities of products rather than picking up enough to last a week or so when they run out.

The article mentions Jean-Pierre Serre, with whom Grothendieck corresponded extensively, and Pierre Deligne, widely regarded as Grothendieck’s greatest student. While investigating Grothendieck recently (inspired by the interview linked in the parent comment), I came across this astonishing anecdote, relating a comment by Serre about Deligne [1]:

“Look, I can take on anyone in Math.” — don’t forget, this guy [Serre] is the youngest Fields medal winner ever, the first Abel prize laureate, etc. — “I can understand the reasoning of the greats, handle them new ideas, you name it.”

“Except for Deligne.” (WHAT ?)

“Deligne is totally out of my league. Above my head.”

“The difference between Deligne and me, is the same difference between me and an average good mathematician.”

I found this anecdote especially astonishing considering that at the time I had never even heard of Deligne. (And most people, of course, haven’t even heard of Grothendieck.)

> Very few people globally got SARS, exactly because interventions to stop the spread were effective.

But SARS was also much less contagious than this virus, especially during the asymptomatic phase. SARS also was much more lethal, meaning people that got it had less of a chance of transmitting it, because they were dead.

This virus is kind of the worst of all world's, in that it's very dangerous but only for a relatively small portion of the population, and that it can be spread by asymptomatic people much more easily. This means that it's very easy for any "embers" burning anywhere to eventually flare up into huge blazes wherever there are large number of people that still don't have immunity.

This sounds like a good idea, but I'm annoyed that the bug conflates "AdBlock Plus-style lists" with "ad blocking". AdBlock Plus lists are useful in blocking arbitrary unwanted content; for example, I block DuckDuckGo's stuff on its homepage below the search bar. Having support for full AdBlock Plus lists (essentially allowing something like uBlock in the browser itself) would do much to allow for powerful blocking while still having the performance advantages of Manifestv3/Content Blocker filtering. Associating it with ad blocking, especially if there will be default "ad block" lists included, complicates this issue unnecessarily.
Umm the economic world is falling apart unfortunately! Thus, put any startup or company's name here in which their business deals with ppl congregating or where germs are spread and the story is the same.

There should be a list of what businesses will remain strong and become stronger so entrepreneurs can quickly create new businesses ..anything food related, medical, online sales & delivery, anything internet/communication infrastructure related, govt services, COVID prevention, COVID research... are some I can think of
According to your logic all of the restaurants, hotels and bars have a questionable business model since they are suffering now because of the pandemic
The original correction was also taken as brusque. The problem is that HN is a large audience that feels like a small one. It's great that it feels small, because we get more intimate discussion that way. But its actual size means that the long tail of possible reactions is really fat.

I asked if it was really necessary and they said they had to. So perhaps this was a situation where they expected much more fraud if they didn't give me a new account.

I discovered it is a real hassle to change a business operating account number. Providers who, in the past, were happy to start doing ACH through your account with minimal documentation require a lot more to change that ACH account number. In one case, they asked for something I don't think I can provide (a scan of a canceled check) as the bank doesn't send those anymore. I'll have to see if they really only need a void check.

I use plain text files for notes that don't require major formatting and figures (e.g., notes on programming, sysadmin, food recipes, etc.). To find something later, I simply grep -iR <word> inside the notes directory.

I also make notes involving equations and figures, and for that I first make draft versions of the notes on letter-sized unruled paper using a fountain pen, and then LaTeX them up when I think that they're worth typing up. I almost never LaTeX notes without making draft notes first. Sometimes I also use my office's scanner to scan my handwritten notes.

I also have a Pinboard account for bookmarks.
I read Neptune's Brood and was hooked. It's a fun surreal sci-fi adventure/romp with a heck of a lot of really interesting, geeky tech interludes. Who knew a novel about futuristic accountancy and forex could be so intriguing?
I'll speak for Bookmarks and Notes.

Agenda has a date focused format for Notes which is great for keeping track notes over time. Combining that with the different categories and sections allows me to easily separate out by subject/project.

Also, they have apps for Mac/iPad/iOS which is great.

Sometimes my simplest comments get misunderstood the greatest; if someone were to want to take this to a criminal court it would be idiotic to go for violating terms of service as the reason, especially for the link you provide, but as I said in my post someone might want to try this as theft of services.

Did you think my use of the word services was somehow related to terms thereof, because no. So to quote wikipedia because it was the first that came up when I googled "Theft of services is the legal term for a crime which is committed when a person obtains valuable services — as opposed to goods — by deception, force, threat or other unlawful means, i.e., without lawfully compensating the provider for these services", do you see how someone might argue that changing out the api key could be seen as a form of deception?

I am not saying that I would think it right that someone bring this to criminal court (I figured I better put that out there as even the simplest of comments can be misunderstood, so who knows what several paragraphs together might lead to), I am not saying that they would even win, I am not saying anyone who did it would be doing so for the purest of motives. But I am saying it does seem something like theft of services by using deception.

on edit: the theft and new api keys refers several ancestors back to this anecdote "Their strategy was to have a pool of API keys attached to new accounts that would take advantage of the Google Maps API free tier, and monitor its usage. As the free tier usage would run out, the system would roll over to a new API key automatically."

As I said in another comment, the familiar python like syntax, while having the potential for much better performance.

Many data scientists are familiar with Python. They can write similar code and will run much faster by default (or with very little tweaking).

Then, if that's not fast enough, The language is positioned such that you can optimize the code to a much higher degree than you can with Python.

I'm not saying that Python code can't be optimized, but there is a limit to the speed of python code even with optimization. At some point you have to drop down to a C extension (what Numpy, Pandas, etc... does) and then you are just writing glue code in Python to drive the C. You could also use one of the Python optimized compilers, but that has limits and edge cases as well. There is "developer friction" there.

In Nim you can just have the whole program in one language. The program can be optimized to the same level as optimized C code with no special tools. This is much less friction.

What's missing is the libraries. But that will come with time.
It's a good tip, but even they seem to be selling out now. Grainger is showing no in-store availability at any of the stores within 100 miles of me, and most toilet paper is backordered for online ordering too. A few do seem available to order for store pickup within a few days, though. The coreless TP in particular seems to still be in stock, perhaps because it's a bit awkward for home use. Here's an in-stock 36-pack of coreless TP for $88, for example: https://www.grainger.com/product/GEORGIA-PACIFIC-Compact-2-P...

"Self-reliance and emotional repression" are phenomena which as the OP article says, are much less present in eg Armenia than America.
