The WH-1000MX3 has a variety of noise cancelling modes (including off). You can set it in the app or you can have it automatically adjust the profile based on where it thinks you are. The profiles are things like transit, walking, etc. While you can turn of ANC with a button, you do need the app to adjust anything else.

Lessons Learned the Hard Way in Grad School (So Far)
Off topic here but since you seem knowledgeable can you point me in the direction of some good resources I can read to become informed on how to use tor? I worry I will have issues as you described. My kids school just moved online. The teacher was considering using google classroom then I voiced my concern which she thanked me and she ended up going with a Canadian company (I am Canadian) called myblueprint.ca and their privacy policy can be found here [1]. Reading their privacy policy it is quickly apparent they are a giant data collection machine and I want to throw up. I plan on sharing some of the key points but if I have to go forward want to try use like a tails live CD or what ever is recommended in 2020 to avoid their tracking. Thanks for any insight

Exaxtly this. Are the inputs available and we can spend just a few tens of billions on building gigafactories to make this process parallel and controlled? Then it’s like making microchips from silicon or gold from ore. Terrible yield but cheap inputs and a scalable process.

If the inputs are expensive or the process can’t scale (to a billion doses in 12 months, say) then that’s worrying and perhaps indicates this isn’t a good candidate vaccine.

There's a simple solution to that. Just remove regulations. Remove lockdowns.
But these short snippets are useless because you can't easily copy paste them, especially with some programming languages that are whitespace-significant (looking at you, Python). And I don't understand how triple ticks are wasted lines, because you need to surround a code block with empty lines anyway while triple ticks work straight after line break.
Currently, I use Microsoft ToDo for lists, Google Keep for text notes, and occasionally [Markdown Notes](http://markdownnotes.com/).

I've been toying with the idea of rolling my own option for years now. These apps are fairly simple, and being able to manipulate and combine the data as I see fit would be really useful. However, I also need to access my todo list and notes from anywhere, on or offline, across multiple platforms.
I actually think it is the same in chemistry, knowledge of which approaches don't work are a competitive advantage that is passed around under the hand. I've definitely observed this is in theoretical physics and pure mathematics, it is often much more important to know about things that have never been published then it is to read close to incomprehensible publications. So for example it is much more valuable to have attended the right seminars and have private copies of lecture notes, because by the time something is published it probably is out of date 1-3 years.

Points are used as a measurement to simplify designing for high resolution displays. A standard resolution display has a 1:1 pixel density, 1 pixel is equal to 1 point. High resolution displays have a higher pixel density where a scale factor of 2.0 or 3.0 is used (iPhones in this case).

> I have the QC35 and besides the noise cancelling they are crap.
This is the main reason why I have never bought a Bose product before (and probably never will). I've heard this assertion way too many times about Bose headphones, that besides noise cancelling they are average (if not worse) headphones overall and of course way too overpriced. I've switched to ear monitors and to be honest that turns out to be a good enough noise cancelling solution at least for me (provided that you get a good fit). I tend to just use wired headphones as you get rid of the potential issues that you mention: bluetooth and battery. Hope that good headphones companies keep manufacturing wired headphones in 10, 20 or 50 years time but I see that hard as laptops and phones are slowly deprecating the beloved jack connector.

>Aren't there diseases where someone are caused not by the microbe directly but by the body's immune reaction to it?

There are symptoms that can be caused by that. The characteristic of an autoimmune disorder is that the response never ends( either chronic or with flare ups) or takes way longer than a normal one would.

> Argument from authority (or lack thereof) is pretty contrary to the HN ethos, imo. You're not right because your degree says so, but because the facts do.

What facts did you state then? I'm asking where does your thinking process stems from?

Interesting how this kind of app will be most useful if everyone uses the same app. In which case there is perfect market transparency (well, regarding availability only in this case) and perfect centralization.
Of course, this is still individuals contributing, and so it's not exactly central planning, but it does go to show that centralized organization of available goods is quite helpful in a crisis situation, simply because it is more efficient. Especially in this crisis, where inefficiency (wandering around town trying to find stuff) is in direct conflict with the best remedy (social distancing).

There are hundreds of wireframing / prototoyping tools out there, I tried many of them, I would still recommend Balsamiq for non-designers. It stays true to its core, to keep things simple and fast. Sketch & Figma will slow you down, so unless you need to create highly interactive prototypes or you want to do visual design, then I say, stick to it.

I recently gravitated back towards Balsamiq, as I helps me think at the right level, and not go too much into detail.

And love their licensing, I bought a license 10 years ago, and got ten years of upgrades. Recently they had their first paid upgrade in ten years, this is just unmatched in commercial software.
Worldometers doesn't seem to say: How is North Carolina defining a covid-19 death?

At the moment the cumulative deaths to covid-19 appear to be doubling every 3 days. In some places it's less than 3 days.

That means in 21 days we'd expect to see just over 4000 total covid-19 deaths in North Carolina.
I had Grado headphones and while the sound quality was good, they failed very quickly in several ways (first one speaker stopped working, then the foam earcup fell off, then they just fell apart). The worst built headphones I've ever used, probably worse than the cheapest headphones you can buy.
With the new .NET Blazor stack I think this will be the new normal. All rendering will be streamed on-demand through WebSockets. Great for real-time stuff but takes some optimization for initial page load performance.
Yeah, people don't want to be inconvenienced. "Yeah, I've driven several miles today with my gas gurgling vehicle to see some nice view and destress a little, I would do it in electric car, but it's too expensive to buy, I'd rather do some small damage to environment". Avoiding small inconceniences multiplied by millions of people is what gives us the situation we have now. People want change but don't want to change. I see I am part of this problem too, but the big problem is that I'm only a very small part of a problem. If only I change, I make my life worse for negligible benefit of others.

How to change this? I still have no idea, but I believe this is THE source of our problems with environment. Every other problem loops back to tragedy of commons.

No, the numbers are very bad.

There's approx. 860 acute and ICU beds empty (from the text chart) for Santa Clara County, which has about 3-4 million people. So that will be full in about 1-2 weeks.

In addition, the California emergency stockpiles were neglected, so all that material rotted.

But it gets worse.

We're in lockdown to "flatten the curve" on how many ventilators are needed. But it turns out 2/3 of corona ventilator patients die in 2-3 weeks, and the rest are too ill to leave the hospital.

So it calls into question why we are in lockdown if ventilators are in fact irrelevant. That needs to be re-evaluated from a public health policy.

It looks to me like corona should be treated like a regular flu, and the only lockdown should be for plane flights.

> Minimalism is luxury. You know you could replace whatever you just threw out

No it's no, you grossly misunderstand the fundamentals of minimalism.

It's make do with whatever you have, and to be content with less, including less money, less possessions, less prestige and less of everything. It's accepting the degradation of social status.

"Going back to parents after selling everything and travelling around the world" is not a message of minimalism. Selling your mansion, forgoing your salary and title, travelling around the world in a brief suitcase with not a penny to your name even after you come back from travelling and be contented with living from day-to-day in a one bedroom flat, _that's_ minimalism.

You need something which decreases on each step. You could try to recurse on the number of unvisited nodes in the graph. You can try well-founded recursion if this does not work for some reason.
In a usual lab no automation whatsoever. When something goes commercial there are two routes. One is adapting to bigger batches where you will get some automation (dosing, temperatur controll, mixing). The last step is to have full blown process where you pipe stuf from reaction a to b. However, that last one works best with large scale basic chemicals. Think all kinds of polymer materials.

There is a trend to get pharmaceuticals to a stage where flow chemistry can be used (like a small version of the full blown basic chemicals processes). This is however still a research field because a lot of processes don't lend themselves to continue flow.

The most automation in chemistry can be found in the analytical side of things. A good example right now are the covid tests that are run on large automated liquid handling systems.
A great deal of published research is not reproducible regardless of field.
Cricket is a rare game where the condition of the tools used to play the game (the ball) is allowed to alter over the duration of the game. This differs from almost all other sports such as baseball, where new balls are used after every hit or less, and in tennis, where new balls are used after a set number of games.

Imagine how different baseball would be if they only used 1 ball per side for the entire game. Within a few innings, the ball will have much more variance and unpredictability.
Few appreciate what has gone wrong with regular store bought bread. Regular store bought bread is created with the Chorleywood process, whereby substandard wheat and carbon dioxide can be mashed together to make some dough that can be baked into something that resembles bread.

These loaves of bread-style-wheat things are not made with just the basic ingredients needed for bread. There are the E numbers for preservatives and whatever else is 'needed'. Often the additives are added to the flour rather than the dough and therefore do not have to be listed. Stuff derived from human hair can get in there as an 'E number'. Often people self-diagnose themselves as having gluten or other allergies when there could be problems with the additives rather than the core product of what bread is supposed to be.

Chucking out store bought bread and joining the sourdough club is a popular reaction to the industrial nonsense that poses as 'bread'. However, there are economic factors at play here. Sourdough keeps and it can be sold at a premium.

Actual fresh bread made with yeast and zero additives does not keep and cannot be sold at a premium. It is also less trendy and not on the radar of the hipster crowd. However, if one is sorting out one's bread properly then a bread machine and the ingredients for bread making is a shrewd investment. It takes five minutes to load the machine with 500g of flour, 360 ml of water, 25g of some type of fat, a teaspoon of yeast, a teaspoon and a half of sugar (to make the yeast do its thing) and a teaspoon and a quarter of salt. You can then press the start button to have the freshest bread you could wish for in four hours. Or you can set the timer so it is ready in the morning or when you are back from work.

By taking this approach you have the benefits of pure, fresh bread with none of the downsides of lengthy preparation times. You don't need an app to manage your sourdough. It is also energy efficient as a bread machine is a small rather than large appliance. The Panasonic machines are best as you have recipes based on that machine plus you can get spare parts and the beginners manual uses metric rather than obscure 'cup sizes'.

With home-machine, properly bakes bread you don't need to be chewing on some sourdough rusk that is essentially stale, you can fire up the machine and keep the fresh loaves coming every 2-3 days. You can mix and match the flours to keep your bread varied. You can also focus on what you eat your bread with rather than try to forever by adding ingredients to the bread such as tomatoes, olives, nuts etc.

If you can maintain the routine then you never need join the sourdough club, you can cut your own way with the innovative 'yeast' ingredient used properly rather than thrown out.

3.) is what gets me...

Why do you need to pay a college to get a piece of paper to enable someone to pay you for skills you otherwise posses?
The financial system is made intentionally complicated to obscure the simple fact that businesses use new loan money to pay for their old loans.

The critical piece of information which is omitted is that the activities of the businesses through which money flows doesn't actually matter.

This becomes obvious when you consider that:

- All new money enters the economy as bank loans.

- The total amount of money in circulation in the economy always goes up every year as inflation (only some years it goes up faster than other years).

- The inflation rate is higher than the interest rate.

Clearly, the inflation rate is sufficient to cover the interest rate.

Think about it:

2% inflation rate means that the total money supply in existence increased by AT LEAST 2% over the cost of a year.
If there was $1000 in the economy at the beginning, it means that at the end of the year, there would be $1020 in the economy.

Now imagine that you are a bank and at the beginning of the year, there is $1000 in total in the economy and you print $100 out of thin air and loan it out to people at 1% interest rate.

After you do that, the economy will have $1100 in circulation. $100 of this amount, people will have to pay back to you PLUS 1% interest rate per year.

Throughout the year, you make more loans into the economy such that the inflation ends u being 2%. So for that year, it means that you injected AT LEAST $20 of new money in the economy as loans.

OK o at the end of the year, your borrowers need to pay you back $10 in interest (for simplicity, we will assume that the minimum repayment is interest only).
But remember, you (as the bank) injected $20 of new money into the economy that year... So if your borrowers managed to extract just half of that new money from the economy, they will be able to meet their loan repayment for that year and still make $10 profit on top!

Note that the borrowers don't need to work or deliver any real economic value in order to get their hands on that newly created money, they just need to setup some intermediaries to take out new loans each year then forward the money to them through any make-believe business activity. It does not matter if the intermediaries go bankrupt later; new intermediaries can constantly be created.

From the perspective of the borrower, intermediaries don't even have to be directly controlled by you. If they can be fooled or coerced into taking out loans from the bank and paying you at least $10 of what they borrowed - In an expansionary monetary environment, that's all you need to be profitable.
