It's absolutely insane.

There is a guy I know who thinks ID2020 is a secret plan of Bill Gates for giving everyone a chip and track everyone ( that's the conspiracy theory), based on some so called "Anon YouTube movies"

Instead of believing that Gates already had the experience with Ebola, to foresee that the world is not ready for a global pandemic.

His words literally were ( as a response):

It's absolutely nuts. Some of them also believe that 5G cause Corona and in chemtrails.

There is literally no logic that can change their mind, lol.

Surely that depends quite a lot on the display size though, right? If you print out the 6 MP image the GP was talking about at 300 DPI, that's something like a 7x10 image. If you're printing at typical wall portrait sizes, surely the latest iPhone (with its superior low-noise processing and all) would win in the majority of shooting conditions.

Once you're hitting 60fps there is no difference in smoothness regardless of method.

But in reality, it looks better if you avoid subpixel values, as the image will flicker slightly; the frames not aligned with the pixel grid will suffer blur or distortion. Try setting speed to 0.1 in the example to see it wobble. The effect is noticeable even on hi-dpi screens.

Not saying you should animate anything using position these days, CSS transforms are certainly the right tool.
I never suggested there was anything wrong with financing health care that way. I don't bring up that he's looking for charity to criticize him or anyone else in his position. I bring it up to point out that in our ridiculous health care system, health insurance companies are making a fortune acting like charities, and it's coming out of their customers' pockets.
Man, RIP necta :( I loved it so.
Also don't forget the effect of competitive position within an industry.

I have a friend who owns a factory in a very unsexy niche industry (packaging). They're relishing this crisis, because they manage the business very conservatively in terms of cash flow and leverage, and are expecting many of their competitors to go bankrupt in the near future. When the dust settles, they'll be one of the few left over, which means they can charge much higher rates. This'll likely be the story in many industries.

Rich monopolies like Google and Facebook are going to do fine. (And note that both of them are still hiring, meaning they can potentially clean out the supply of engineers while many of the newer growth unicorns have instituted hiring freezes.) Marginal players in competitive industries are going to get killed.

Honestly that just sounds like a mix of ADHD and depression. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
You can get pretty far with a decent model when it comes to counterfactuals.

We moved the economic impact earlier to trade down health impacts. In order for there to not be some similar level of impacts, we either have to imagine a scenario where the disease was many times more benign than it has demonstrably been in some places, or where people ignore news as things get sufficiently dire and continue business as usual rather than dramatically adjusting behavior from normal circumstances. And both those things have to be true in order for the latter not to make a terrifying contribution, which would also make dire economic impacts: dead or damaged people are much harder to get back into the demand side of the economy than housebound or unemployed people.

If you're thinking of worldwide counterfactuals, and know of any society that has a story involving staying broadly open that didn't use effective mass testing and contact tracing early, then specifics would be an interesting contribution.

In short, Docker's development was payed for by a company for commercial purposes. Moreover, it was build as an abstraction over kernel features so that developers won't need learn anything about them. It's success is product of the fact that tools can create extremely useful abstractions and when they do people benefit from using them and depends on them.

Your reasoning feels truly bizarre. He added that work email as a SECONDARY mail. As soon as it stopped working, he could no longer access the boards associated with that particular mail, only his personal ones that were NOT associated with it. His personal boards continued NOT being associated with that work email for years afterwards, and he never in any way indicated, asked for, or allowed that they should be.

HE didn't “plant a time bomb”; Atlassian ripped him off, plain and simple.

(Oh, sure, you could argue that he “planted a time bomb” by giving Atlassian the means — that email address — to rip him off... But please don't. That would be like arguing that a rape victim “planted a time bomb” be dressing too provocatively.)
> even more people would have died if we didn't take costly measures to stop it.

The example of Sweden seems to disagree with this assumption. They never locked down, and the current mortality is (1,203 / 10,330,000) * 100 = 0.0116%

First case on Jan 31st, no lockdowns, death rate has already flattened. Where is that crazy scary exponential growth?
Blergh. I guess maybe this can be both safe and effective while just being really inconvenient, but my instinct is that on the whole it's just going to be inconvenient without being safe or effective.

> Which in turn is similar to someone getting killed and having his wealth outright stolen

I don't quite see the similarity but that's because I believe in a general, fuzzy way, all our lives are sacred but grant that individuals make exceptions for personal gain and their perceived "greater good".

> If you can amass wealth you are worth more. Even if you stole the wealth. You might then be hated and persecuted, but with enough wealth, that's not really that much of a problem, as there are few people not willing to buy the cure of cancer from a murderer if their life is on the line with no alternatives.

Ain't that the truth. Still focusing on a single axis of our humanity (material wealth) but from that axis, what you say is correct.

Money is thankfully not all that life comes down to imo. Observing reality, money does drive a lot of the world and we directly and indirectly use that as a proxy for what someone's life is worth but I think we can accept the reality while still advocating for meaningful change.

That's part of why several people each day choose not to optimize purely for $$ but consider some deemed higher purpose (arguable ofc) of helping others be happier, healthier, finding spirituality, researching in academia when you could make 2x the money in industry, and fighting to improve the outcomes of others who are less... fortunate.

I previously misinterpreted what your perspective as "fuck it, it all comes down to money so nothing matters", but I now see it more as an observation and statements of the world's perspective and not necessarily that you believe your life is worth more than that of an incidentally poorer person.

The other other possible explanation is that it would expose US intelligence-gathering methods and capabilities. US governments have been really sensitive about such things. It's not just one administration, either. Going clear back to World War II, they prosecuted a reporter for exposing that the US had broken Japanese codes. (I think in connection with Midway, maybe?) Fortunately, the Japanese didn't wake up from the exposure.
Why do people always feel the need to bring "the left" into this? Wanting to silence people who disagree with you has nothing to do with either the original definition of "left" or the parties considered "left" these days.

The same kinds of "censorship" that you talk about coming from "the left" can be found in extreme parts of every ideology. Conservatives (probably of the rich and christian variety) have pushed many platforms to completely remove all even slightly adult content (the latest example being Tumblr), all sides of the political spectrum have been pressuring sites like YouTube to the point where no political discussion from any side can be monetized...

This is not an issue of political sides - it's an issue of politics (and society) in general.

As for the part about companies not knowing about the people who don't approve of this behaviour: they do. They know exactly how many of us there are: not enough. Losing even a single big investor will make a company lose more money than if everyone who disagreed with them completely stopped using their services.

Farmworkers, Mostly Undocumented, Become “Essential” During Pandemic
I think what you'd see is a fair number of members in the EU block take similar action, daring Amazon to do the same to them. The truth is, Amazon couldn't, in the long term, afford that: Oh sure, they could stand to lose the revenue by itself, but that's just a first-order effect.

A second order effect would be the rise of a regional competitor to fill the vacuum. Then Amazon, even if they played nice, would have a hard time pushing back in to those markets, at the same time the regional competitor would, if wise, get on good terms with the EU regulatory regime and thereby give it some preferential treatment when trying to get into markets that Amazon had not vacated. A regional competitor could easily hit a tipping point and become an international one.
It is weak evidence for the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine. e.g. if you ran this as a Bayesian analysis you would find that these results should shift your beliefs towards it being more likely that hydroxychloroquine reduces deaths + ICU visits.

However you are correct that the medical community has decided to be conservative to reduce the likelihood people make decisions based on weak evidence. That may be the correct decision from a overall social welfare perspective. In that framework all we can say is "this experiment did not generate enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis".
I don't miss having a car. Sure, your "freedom to". "Just Hop In And Go Right Now On A Whimsical Fancy". All in that 1950s Golden Glory afterglow.

From my experience that is indeed a somewhat unusual situation.

The companies I have worked for in the past and those where friends and family work tend give "raises" to match inflation and sometimes a bit on top.

There are also plenty of companies that dont raise your salary at all unless you get promoted.

I think that is part of why many people advise new graduates to change jobs every 2-3 years for some time as often the salary of the newly hired tends to reflect the current market rate.

I have had instances where newly hired people with less experience than colleagues received 20% more salary simply because they were new. This is for the same job and productivity level.

Your standpoint on promotions is perfectly fine and even healthy. Not all people want to get promoted and as long as your are comfortable in your job and like, or at least not mind, doing it, thats okay.

Your boss and the company you work for may very well genuinely care about you. They may have also raised your salary because your are extremely knowledgeable in your area and cant afford to have you leave the company. They could also very much underpay your current market rate and raised your salary to match what other people are earning in that position. No one except your boss can answer that.

Leaving a company that you like working at is a risk and can backfire. I did it once and regretted my decision. Other times it can be a great decision and expose you to new things that you may end up liking even more than your current job.

At the end of the day that decision is squarely on you.

To be clear, this claim

> For example, it's highly unlikely (roughly less than 2.5%) that HCQ reduces the onset of ARDS by half.

is not one that can be justified by frequentist statistics such as those used in the article. We can't make probabilistic claims like that unless we go Bayesian.

Well-designed drug trials typically plan in advance to have the sample size necessary to detect an effect of clinical significance. If, say, a 20% reduction in ARDS would be valuable, you would work out what sample size you'd need to reliably detect such a reduction. In this case, we simply don't have the sample size to conclude much of anything, because the confidence intervals include what I (as a non-physician, admittedly) see as a pretty wide range of clinically meaningful effect sizes, and we can't distinguish between them.

One thing I do on a laptop keyboard is remap Caps Lock to Control to make that easier to type. It's in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys.

It doesn’t look like Apple will ever bring back Ethernet ports, HDMI, dedicated power ports to free up a USB port or even USB 3 ports to laptops.
Also, it's extremely hard to account for all kinds of biases and systematic errors in a meta-analysis. I'd take most meta-analyses, even by renowned statiticians, very, very skeptically. Teasing out small effects from samples that need corrections for lots of confounding factors, and then trying do combine many such results is next to impossible.

If your effect is small enough that you need a meta-analysis in the first place, that's a warning sign.

Some background: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... (with perhaps more approachable explanation here https://www.talyarkoni.org/blog/2016/06/11/the-great-minds-j... )

I live with a couple bluetooth headsets (Apple's AirPods, Bose QCs, and a pair of Beats), and I would say 95% of the time it's not an issue. There's the 5% of the time, however, where I need to re-pair the headset (not the biggest issue in the world) or the battery is dead (bigger issue) and I rarely, if ever, have the dongle on me (or even a pair of headphones to use the dongle with) - obviously the biggest issue when I want to listen.

That 5% of the time, while not often, is enough to remind me why I held onto my iPhone 6S until it finally died on me. As an iPhone user, I truly wish Apple would offer an iPhone 12 with a headphone jack, because I would absolutely buy it (two of the best pair of headphones I own are corded and it's a shame I can't just plug them into my iPhone when I please...)
With a true safety net a 20% contraction doesn't cause loss of life. Choosing to let this push people out on the street or into otherwise dire straits is a government's choice, not an inevitability. If companies fold and people can switch seamlessly from position to safety net to new position, allegedly the market will normalize and reallocate resources efficiently. You can't reallocate without freeing resources!

A contraction of 20% only puts us nominally back less than a decade. People didn't have to be sacrificed back then, and they don't today.

There are interventions we do need, but if everyone took a 20% hit as a group instead of a de facto Hunger Games, it wouldn't be nearly as ghastly.

Josh Marshall and his team at TalkingPointsMemo have been doing a fantastic job for these past four years documenting Trump's AG turnstile that finally landed him the cover-up artist Barr, whose lawyering for government criminals goes back to the Reagan administration. And that man is good at what he does, for he has no shame; it's team-first and damn the Constitution.

And at some point, it no longer became reductionist to call Nixon a criminal. His AG ended up doing 19 months, and that was nothing compared to what these mofos are doing.

Everyone has already suggested the Emacs tutorial, and Spacemacs, so I have two things to add: the Emacs tutorial is borderline-useless if you're using Spacemacs, and as a vi-proficient user, you should.

Second, I want to recommend the Emacs Lisp tutorial, which I would argue is the best official tutorial for a programming language, full stop. This will teach you a tonne about Emacs which you won't pick up any other way, and you can fill in differences between Spacemacs and vi(m) by the usual expedient of trolling the internet for clues.
