The "extrapolated daily" seems to be a weird way of saying "on average". And I think it's reasonable enough to do, because I don't think this data exists at daily granularity, and even if it did the daily variation would not be particularly meaningful.

The chart's really only making a single point, which is that yesterday, more people in the US (probably) died of COVID than anything else. And the figures are likely to get worse before they get better.

After being in the corporate world for a few years, I feel like if a company has to explicitly say their mission statement or whatever, they're a bad employer. It's like someone saying "I'm a nice and relaxed person". Let other people say that about you, and if they aren't then try to change that instead of just declaring it. If your company has a good culture and impact, that will be obvious.
The shelter in place orders started off completely voluntary. People ignored them. And it escalated. People continued to ignore and the policies continued to escalate. We didn’t go from zero to where we are now. People caused this.

keyword here is confirmed. Many of us carry the virus and are untested (or "unconfirmed") so that 5% number is likely to massively decrease to around 0.5% at some point if (second keyword), governments decide to implement large scale testing.
The long tail of deaths that have been subverted must also be taken into account, e.g. take those who would have otherwise passed in the near future to lung disease who succumb to the virus, they inflate this number, but next year's lung disease numbers will be proportionately lower.
That is an absolutely fascinating analysis that never would have occurred to me. That makes perfect sense.

This "advice" makes me want to barf, but probably because I hold convictions about gender and sexuality that would have been extreme or unheard of 100 years ago. For me gender, is a flexible construct and sexuality is fluid and this "advice" reinforces abusive gender stereotypes.

So I am not claiming that Einstein's demands were normal 100 years ago (We can surmise that they likely were not given that Maric asked for a divorce instead). I'm not saying that we should look to their personal life as any kind of positive example. I'm only saying that I know they were working on an incredibly different set of cultural assumptions than I am. In their time, I don't know if they would have been judged by their peers as progressive or regressive. I judge them regressive, but what the heck is that worth?

Sluggishness switching apps? Probably a result of supporting a lot of very low-end devices. I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of their active devices in the field have very poor specs.

I did not say "monolith" equaled "unscaleable monolith", I said that such a setup is usually an "unscaleable monolith".

Thee reason for this is that writing anything at all to be scalable is quite difficult, and larger monoliths tends to reflect a laziness and false sense of simplicity that tends to also be reflected by the internal design. For this reason, I'd consider "large but scalable monoliths" to be in the minority.

Furthermore, I'd argue that if scaling of a monolith isn't a problem, it's simply because its load is insignificant in the first place. Once the scaling game starts, vertical scaling quickly ends up being infeasible.

Of course, that does mean that you can start out and experiment with a monolith while a product is young, but I'd prefer to have hashed out the overall design before I start dealing with production systems.

I'd design components around clearly distinctive areas of functionality rather than the distinctive teams that need to write it.

I use a Sennheiser GAME ZERO for audio calls on a regular basis, including professionally, because the sound quality is quite good for voice. (I do also use it for gaming, and for music listening.) For audio calls they're not going to see it anyway, and I don't think most of the people I talk to would care if they saw it on a video call; the design doesn't scream “business”, but the red metal tracery is the only flashy thing about it, and that's kinda subtle.

What's more of a problem I might run into soon is that my setup was already out of date for video calls; this seems increasingly like a hard expectation rather than an optional plus; and the pseudo-docking way I use my primary laptop at my desk doesn't currently allow me to orient the builtin camera so that it catches my expression at a reasonable angle while also letting me leave the monitor in front of me. Putting the laptop where my monitor currently is might be workable, but it could also get squint-inducing at that distance… I might have to play around with this.
This is a wonderful essay, and I wish I had come across it as a freshman. For example:

"Just as in the Maxwell theory, the abstract quality of the first-order quantities is revealed in the units in which they are expressed. For example, the Schrödinger wave-function is expressed in a unit which is the square root of an inverse cubic meter. This fact alone makes it clear that the wave-function is an abstraction, for ever hidden from our view. No-one will ever measure directly the square root of a cubic meter."

That, of course, is an observation about quantum mechanics, and it is only on rereading the essay today that I noticed its structure: Dyson begins with an anecdote about Maxwell giving an address that spent most of its time discussing some features of Helmholz's "splendid hydro-dynamical theorems" (with a nod to Kelvin, who I guess was present), before briefly drawing analogies to his electrodynamical theory. Dyson brings this up within an essay in which he uses Maxwell's theory to make a point about coming to understand quantum mechanics, though he spends rather more time on his ultimate topic than Maxwell did in his talk.

It's only tenfold if they all test negative, right? Otherwise you need to test subgroups to find out which test(s) were positive. So the real speedup is probably something like 2x-4x, depending on infection rates.

When I was using HoneySQL[0] speaking to PostgreSQL over JDBC to deal with persisted data, I did not feel non-idiomatic. When I used Kafka and Onyx[1] to process large dataflows, I did not feel non-idiomatic. Granted my working set was only a few 10s of TB, but there wasn't much pain involved. I tended to use Nippy[1] for serialization.

I didn't use special data structures (except when the problem called for it), with a clear separation using nippy serialization (in place of pr-str/read-string) at the edges of my app.

> There is no such thing as "proof" of Maxwell's equations.

Is there proof of any "physics"?

Physics is the science that studies "physical models", which are just that, "models". Whether a model is useful (or not), or how accurate a model is, is determined by using the model to make a prediction, and then doing an experiment to check how bad the prediction is. Measuring a prediction is hard, and typically requires repeating the same experiment many many times, which at best produces a probability density distribution of the prediction the model should produce.

This process is called "model validation", but it does not prove the model correct. For example, we can validate Newton's laws to predict the weight of many objects on earth relatively accurately. But this does not mean that Newton's laws are correct, that they would produce correct outcomes if you were moving at the speed of light, etc.

When people talk about "proving physical models correct", I honestly have no idea what is it that they want, or how do they expect that this is done. If God was real and would answer to us, I guess we could ask God if a particular model is correct. But that's the only way I can think of to deliver one of these "proofs".

This is just a repository for Creative Commons content, and it doesn't even appear to force the content to be CC, just royalty free.

> individual humans function totally differently on the inside

My completely uninformed guess is that this is unlikely to be true. I expect with roughly the same biological equipment we are more or less the same, with some minor differences, some surprising innate exceptions, and of course cultural/upbringing differences. And of course, some visible biological differences which cause behavior/thought differences.

Like the parent post guesses, I think at least some of the reported differences with aphantasia come from people reporting their inner experiences differently, and that they are probably more alike than we think. But of course, I also believe there are some real differences, too.

There's a perception that Amazon built their in-house delivery services, "sortation" hubs, airplanes etc. to compete with UPS/Fedex... the reality is that it had to be done to handle the shipping volume.
