"If things are painful you should do them more often," isn't supposed to be about callouses, but a lot of people take it that way. People with callouses do not experience the activity the way everybody else does. Sounds like a bit of that happened here.

I want my most of my mid-level people (and all of the ones bucking for a promotion) to be comfortable running 80-90% of routine maintenance operations and have pretty decent guesses on what should be done for the next 5-10%. I don't often get my way.

This title is misleading. They didn't halt the trial, they halted one treatment arm (the arm with a very high dose). They continued with the 'low' dose (2.7g - about the same dose as used to treat malaria). The high dose was over 4x more of the drug, at 12g.
Thanks for the reply!

Let me be clear I wasn't in any way implying you were saying things about the police in general or about Argentina in particular. I understand you're very careful in saying only things you've experienced yourself, which is why I -- and many others here, it would seem -- appreciate your comments. I understand you're talking about the police force(s) in the communities you know.

That said, surely you can see the asymmetry here: you don't know much about Argentina, because I presume aside our cyclic economic meltdowns we seldom make the news. But we in Argentina and the rest of the world know a lot about the US. Maybe it's not all accurate and we lack the "local" vision, maybe a lot is exaggerated or fake news or excessively influenced by pop culture, but our news, politics and culture are permeated by everything they say and do in the US. In a very real sense we know more about you than you do about us. I have read books about the police in the US (one such book: "Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces"), but I bet few Americans here have read any of the many exposés about corruption in Argentina's police force or their collaboration with our past dictatorship. Knowledge is not symmetrical :)
>> There is a reason why robbers use masks.

This is a great point.
Unfortunately, when wealthy people get money they do not spend it on goods and services that employ people and drive the economY. Rather, the invest it in the financial vehicle with the highest ROI. Giving money to the rich does not trickle down to people. It goes into a holding pattern of financial engineering. That maybe why there has not been any inflation with all the quantitative easing that has been going on these past 2 decades. Instead of having more money chasing the same amount of goods and services (which would happen if all that QE hit the real economy) there is more money chasing more financial products. That is why the value of financial products(stocks,etc) has been skyrocketing for a decade.

> But what you are saying here counters what OP is replying to. "Fuzziness" has no place in a system of law. There should be a way to trace back, as you said with case law, to find an unambiguous decision. If not, the law needs to be clarified, not left fuzzy.

I don't think you have a very good understanding of the US legal system. Caselaw consists of interpretations of laws made after (sometimes long after) those laws came into force. It's a reflection of the inherent ambiguity and fuzziness in any body of law.

Law isn't like computer code. While there may be some philosophical appeal to the idea of a law code that's unambiguous and requires no judgement to interpret or apply, such a goal is actually impractical and undesirable.

The risk they accept usually means that they might have to find new tenants or replace stuff. Your tenant won't pay what they agreed to? Now you have to find a new tenant.

But right now we want them to not kick out people who can't pay. We want them to provide free housing to tenants who need it. Those are the landlords we want to bail out. Asking them to just take that as a loss is shitty.

(I assume that the landlords who don't forgive rent don't get to claim this loss on their taxes.)

I strongly agree with everything you wrote.

I think there is an alternative solution, though: Rather than maintaining a gigantic stockpile large enough to last a multi-year pandemic, it might be more efficient to maintain a modest stockpile sufficient for the breakout phase along with ready-to-deploy crash production capacity. This might be significantly cheaper.

This means that we need to ensure that we have the capacity to 100x, 1000x, 10,000x production--whatever is modeled to be enough to meet ongoing demand during a pandemic--within the time bought by drawing down the strategic reserve.

We don't need to maintain and refresh a complete stockpile of finished goods, or even a complete stockpile of production capacity (suitable factory floor space, meltblown nonwoven fabric equipment, etc.). We just need to know where such things exist that can be quickly directed to the desired use either with cooperation from the owner or with the DPA, how much exists naturally, and only if there is a deficit, to maintain a stockpile sufficient in combination with those identified supplies: Government-owned sterile factory floor space, for example, or spare production lines for meltblown nonwoven fabric.

We can even enlist private companies to maintain the stockpile for us. It makes way more sense to just subsidize e.g. 3M to have lots of extra meltblown nonwoven fabric production capacity. They are in the business, they maintain and operate the machinery and have the know-how and commercial connections to produce and distribute the material. They will have the capability to quickly respond to demand spikes if the capital requirements for increased production capacity already exist thanks to Uncle Sam's foresight.

Finally, what is maybe even more important than stockpiles or production capacity subsidies is the organization this exercise entails (knowing who makes what critical parts in the supply chain, where they are, what their production capacity is and how quickly it can grow, etc.), which gives an ability to rapidly marshal resources and eliminate inefficiencies to surge production as quickly as possible.
Why not simply group gamers on different servers depending on how well they're doing or not doing?

You win a lot, you get grouped on a server with other winners, you lose a lot, you get grouped on a server with others that lose a lot.

This keeps skill levels (and challenge) consistent.

Or, is that too much of an algorithmic challenge for the game designers?

If you're going into medicine for the money you are making a huge mistake. The front-side effort, commitment and cost is massive, and depending on your field it make impact important aspects of your life for as long as you practice. There are way easier ways to make money.

One example: do a comparatively easier 4-yr undergrad in business and start with a bank straight out of school (they scoop up lots of new grads willing to move around). In the same ~15 years you can move into a senior position in finance or M&A and make comparable money. It's not easy or guaranteed but IMO easier...

Exactly, unless one sees the suffering of others as suffering of NPCs or punishment for a former life, I cannot understand how one can believe in a benevolent omnipotent god. The cruelty that some have to endure is simply not explainable with a such a god. It cannot be benevolent AND omnipotent by definition. It becomes far far far more likely that there is simply no such a god. It's not like this dilemma is new so there should be a better explanation by now.

There isn't a general solution to this, which is why the typical scheduling tools just punt back to user.

I suspect the real difficulty for a company trying to offer something more powerful is balancing effort/input the user has to take against dynamism and principle of least astonishment.

I don't think it would be hard to write a scheduling algorithm in this space that basically works but everyone hates, for example.
> In countries with napoleonic or roman law system judge's role is generally considered to be to apply the law as it is written, with the assumption that the law in most cases is sufficiently clear in itself.

I was under the impression that those Napoleonic/Roman law judges still have to interpret the law's meaning and apply it in ambiguous situations, but the difference is that their interpretations aren't binding on other judges like in the Anglo-Saxon system.
Google/MS can certainly add this feature (for enterprise accounts) but it would not be trivial. IME "next available" means urgent, and that was not true for 80% of my meetings at work. There were many times I booked a meeting one or two days/weeks ahead, so that I could spend X hours today/tomorrow getting something important done without interruptions or waiting for some progress to be made.

The paid version of our product adds another dimension to optimization by improving room availability/utilization. Our goal is to build an E2E product suite including room tablet SW, guest check-in experience & real estate utilization analytics, which would be more of a challenge for Google/MS to trivially add to their suite. By doing this, we are also able to gather more high-fidelity data about office spaces that doesn't currently sit in G Suite or Exchange.

In Metal, yes. In Vulkan it's a lot more.

Of course, a lot of this code is code you only write once and then abstract on top of. Metal just has a lot of that abstraction "done for you" because it's only designed to work on a closed set of hardware profiles.

Vulkan requires a lot more signatures in triplicate and setup rituals. Not a bad thing, just a different target.

Study shows Iceland got it right with early, widespread virus testing (Covid-19)
They have long (deep) error recoveries, and most of them don't have configurable SCT ERC. If used on Linux, where the default command (queue) timer is 30 seconds, a bad sector could result in the drive not reporting success or failure well beyond 30 seconds at which point the kernel does a link reset thinking the drive is unresponsive. On SATA drives, resetting the drive clears the whole queue, all commands are lost, so it's not clear what sector has the problem. This prevents whatever healing properties RAID has. e.g. on md RAID (includes mdadm and LVM managed RAIDs these days) an explicit read error by the drive comes with a sector LBA value, and md will know what stripe its a member of (or its mirror) and will overwrite the bad sector with reconstructed data, fixing it. But if there are either write errors or a bunch of link resets, md will consider the drive faulty (kicking it).

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Timeout_Mismatch

It's important to know this kernel command timer and SCT ERC mismatch is (a) common and (b) affects mdadm, LVM, Btrfs and maybe ZFS RAID on Linux. I'm not really sure whether the kernel command timer applies to ZoL or if a vdev has its own policy.

> even mid-range DSLRs might have 20MP sensors or more.

This is actually a funny thing. The APS-C Canon 90D has a slightly higher resolution sensor than the full frame 5Dmk4, and significantly higher than the brand new, also full frame, 1DXmk3. Sony’s APS-C bodies are all 24MP, the same as the a7iii and the flagship a9/a9ii.

Other than dedicated high-res models (5DS, a7R, D850/Z7), high-end cameras routinely have much lower pixel density than cheaper cameras, because resolution doesn’t matter that much for most applications, and pros care for a whole bunch of other features that scale poorly with resolution (such as low light performance and buffer drain speed)

What you're describing is a cultural issue of people lacking respect for other people, and it is by no means a universal trait in humanity. However a lack of respect usually correlates with immaturity, which is shown in your example from the military. Young men tend to lack the requisite level of maturity.

When people mature, they usually start respecting other people and start caring about making things last for as long as possible. If the lack of respect persists well into adulthood, you're dealing with a major societal problem.
