Defense of trolls is neither here nor there. The trolls will be with us forever. They are simply a fact of life now, like gravity. Given that reality, how can we make our systems more robust against trolling?
I don't know then...everyone I've ever discussed it with has praised SF water. I'm really sensitive to the taste & smell of chlorine and minerals too. I don't know what could be responsible for the difference that you experienced.
That example is a bit implausible. This is only a problem when oil prices fall very low very quickly. Manufacturing constraints prevent mass EV adoption on those timescales.

On the other hand, people who draft contracts for big corporations get to talk to risk analysts and ask "if we agree to this, what might go wrong that causes us to lose money?" and write clauses that generally protect them from that risk.
The only German stories I can find currently are misleading in a different way. The headlines use words like "piracy" and "seize" when the text indicates legitimate market bidding.

In these cases my point is the same - this may not be wrong enough for a retraction but the misleading negative influence is still accomplished.
Conjoined twins?
Even assuming a high undetected multiplier, a small fraction of their population has been exposed. There's not much reason to expect it to slow down any time soon, their overall immunity isn't going to be much different than anywhere else at this point.
Maybe some of Intel's $3B "meet comp" budget went to paid trolls?
Yes, most instructions that modify only the bottom element(s) didn't get a ymm (256-bit) version since it would serve no purpose as it would produce the same result as the xmm one, and the corresponding intrinsics mostly follow the same pattern. So there is no int64 -> ymm intrinsic.

An intrinsic cast works fine though:

https://godbolt.org/z/M9XWCb

Intel even says about the cast:

> Cast vector of type __m128i to type __m256i; the upper 128 bits of the result are undefined. This intrinsic is only used for compilation and does not generate any instructions, thus it has zero latency.

That seems a bit beyond their mandate since what the compilers generate is mostly up to them, and in fact it doesn't seem true: at -O0, both gcc and clang generate a few extra instructions for the cast. With optimization on, it's all good though.

Unless the anti-quarantine events are organized by a hostile power.

And this seems likely since they are insanely harmfully, arose suddenly and with widespread and great organization and have a lot of precedent. [1][2][3]

And especially since it's already been explicitly shown for at least some of the domains connected to the protests.[4]

I don't expect this will be much more than the next "evolution" of Playgrounds.

I don't think Apple would even want/be willing to support anything other than Swift, and probably only iOS/Catalyst development. Anything complex with multiple languages (Objective-C, Swift, C, C++ and/or any scripting) would probably not be supported, so there wouldn't be any chance of "porting" your existing projects to this iXcode.

It might be an evolution towards "coding-as-a-service", which I've been expecting: https://macintouch.com/community/index.php?threads/competiti...
Frontend: Typescript/React. Epic CSS and all sorts of beautiful pages and UI parts TailwindUI.com.

Backend: Golang (Go) and a good framework like Gorilla.
My theory: a certain percentage of people have a lower than average empathetic response, usually by birth, but sometimes also by repeated exposure to mistreatment/neglect at a young age. These indivduals probably played an evolutionary role in human tribes (perhaps something similar to those "soldier" ants in some ant colonies).

But the scale and connectedness of modern society allows such individuals to expand their influence in ways that were not possible in prehisotric societies. And so they go ahead and do it.

I don't believe they have any problems sleeping at night or looking at themselves in the mirror. Those circuits in their brains either don't function or are heavily attenuated.

Querying Terabytes of Data in Seconds at Twitter
If you select "I don't like this recommendation" for a video on youtube, you will get to provide feedback on why you did so: either "I don't like this video" or "I've already watched this video." I've pressed the latter on literally thousands of videos at this point, and after well over a year of this, YouTube still hasn't figured out that I don't want to be recommended videos that I've already watched.

Likewise, Google says I should log into their website for personalized search results, but after years of always clicking on Python 3 results over Python 2.7 results, it never learned to show me the correct result.

Eventually I realized that personalized recommendations are more or less just a thin cover for collecting vast amounts of data with no benefit to the consumer. I believe we have the technology to do better, but we don't use it. In fact, we seem to be using it less and less.
It's a prediction based on opinion and data, so I'm not able to support it beyond background references.

You're asking me to prove something that hasn't occurred yet.

My point is, poverty is deadly, the coronavirus response causes massive unemployment, unemployment causes poverty and so it's pretty obvious that the economic implications have a death rate associated with them that won't shake out for years. In my opinion, it'll be significantly worse.

I don't like it when people hand wave away the blight of those in poverty for personal safety. These people have awful outcomes, and they're treated as collateral damage.

The media talks about death from poverty all the time, except for now. Why? You cannot pause the economy without dramatic upheavals in industry and community.

For example, one particular study found that from the 2008 economic crisis there were nearly 5,000 excess suicides in a single year. Well, this crisis is substantially worse and will last substantially longer.

> Underlying illnesses include Diabetes, Lung Disease, Cancer, Immunodeficiency, Heart Disease, Hypertension, Asthma, Kidney Disease, and GI/Liver Disease

That's a whole lot of people left out of your number. A quick google suggests that 1/3 of Americans have hypertension and 9% have diabetes. It seems like probably the majority of the US has at least one of these underlying illnesses.
Your statement is misleading.

They validate the antibody tests against blood collected before the outbreak. If the tests detect other corona viruses, they should get positive tests from blood that existed before Sars2.

Yes there are still unknowns, that’s the point of is science. FDA approval is irrelevant.
In that case, it seems a little trickier to distinguish astroturfing vs. something I just personally do not agree with.

The common cold is infamous for mutating at a rate where you can catch the virus again two months after infection. And moreover, the common cold is also a coronavirus.

Moreover, if a lot of Covid infections are in the area and the virus is mutating quickly, a person might be exposed to a different strain soon after recovery and wind up infected, if the SAR-COV-19 is similar to the common cold. This would be hard to notice, since it would tend to happen as the virus was spreading rapidly anyway. It would become a problem only if people expected the virus to abate once everyone had been exposed.

It's not armed theft that bothers me. It's just that I'm not sure that someone I like gets to benefit from it because there is zero accountability.
It's not just a personal calculation though. People that are infected spread the disease and consume medical resources. Those things both impact the rest of society.
Could you just take it and they pay you to take it and dump it into dry wells in Texas and Oklahoma, seems like a reasonable gamble ?

Nice read, very revealing and eye-opening to me personally. I think this law applies to jobs too. If your superior never calls-out lying narcissistic behavior, and you do not posses such "skills" you will be driven out.

So, I'm not getting why selection bias would matter here. If they are counting the total number of participants who were positive for the antibodies, and this number was out of the total number of residents in the county, big deal.

Why would they ask all the healthy people to come get tested? Just assume that all the untested people are negative for the antibodies.

Otherwise you would get a higher infection rate count, which would of course result in a lower mortality rate for the disease.
I teach a React workshop and have a slide covering this topic (albeit much less eloquently). I find it really helps JSX feel less exotic.
Your statement amounts to "we have to do something. This is something. Therefore we have to do it."

Doing the wrong thing can be extremely dangerous in this situation. Consciously choosing to wait until you have greater certainty that the action taken is correct isn't the same as inaction, not when the downside risks of getting it wrong are so high.

Many parents do feel as if the kids have a debt towards them.
If someone thinks that way, it is as if they think their relationship with their children in a business way. THAT is the negative and depressing way of looking at it.

The catch is, even if we are to see the parent-child relationship as business, then the "debt" lies entirely to the parents.

In the good occasion, that does not happen, and the relationship is healthy.
And if you, yourself, put yourself in debt of your children, it doesn't seem bad things come out of it. It's you making the decision for yourself, after all. Not inflicting it on someone else.
1. We can't even get PPE. We won't have PPE for a long time. Not even doctors have enough.

2. We're not going to train minimum wage workers and quarantined vulnerable individuals to follow sanitary procedures to any adequate degree.

3. We don't even have enough trained medical workers to treat dying people, so no they aren't going to make the deliveries. This problem will only get worse if you go all "herd immunity" because a shitload of people will be in the hospital being triaged because they were classified as "non-vulnerable"

The only option the US has is quarantine, because it is a failed state.
I love this. It is such an easy to grasp example of what is "wrong" with search. Historically, searching was keyword based so documents with "shirt" and "stripes" would rank highly, even though none of those pages had the keyword "without".

As humans we know immediately that the search is for documents about shirts where stripes are not present. But the term 'without' doesn't make it through to the term compositor step which is feeding terms in a binary relationship. We might make such a relationship as

Q = "shirt" AND NOT "stripes"

You could onebox it (the Google term for a search short circuit path that recognizes the query pattern and some some specific action, for example calculations are a onebox) and then you get a box of shirts with no stripes and an bunch of query results with.

You can n-gram it, by ranking the without-stripes n-gram higher than the individual terms, but that doesn't help all that much because the English language documents don't call them "shirts without stripes", generally they are referred to as "plain shirts" or "solid shirts" (plain-shirt(s) and solid-shirt(s) respectively). But you might do okay punning without-stripes => plain or to solid.

From a query perspective you get better accuracy with the query "shirts -stripes". This algorithmic query uses unary minus to indicate a term that should not be on the document but it isn't very friendly to non-engineer searchers.

Finally you can build a punning database, which is often done with misspellings like "britney spears" (ok so I'm dating my tenure with that :-)) which takes construction terms like "without", "with", "except", "exactly" and creates an algorithmic query that is most like the original by simple substitution. This would map "<term> without <term>" => "<term> -<term>". The risk there is that "doctors without borders" might not return the organization on the first page (compare results from "doctors without borders" and "doctors -borders", ouch!)

When people get sucked into search it is this kind of problem that they spend a lot of time and debate on :-)
It reminds me of a funny story in Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives, where some newbie trader mistakenly bought a contract on live cattle futures to close out a long position. The trader spent a couple weeks traveling thousands of miles and figuring out housing and food for hundreds of cattle until a buyer for them could be found.
At the risk of sounding stupid, I have to ask...

Would it be possible to simply pump the oil back into the ground wherever the closest oil field is?
What exactly do you mean by worst-case here? The actual worst case would be if nobody took any precautions, which almost certainly would result in more than 0.18% of the total US population dying.

Most bored 50 year olds don't engage in trolling or other sociopathic pursuits. I suspect a considerable number are younger and older than 50.

It's not about age. It's more about reveling in others' confusion and suffering, which might stem from their own experience of that.

The frequency of that mindset and the networking of it through technology seems like our social disease.
In one of the articles, it quoted someone from, I think, the CME, that said they were fully prepared in their trading systems to handle these negative prices with no hiccups.

What I immediately thought, that I haven't seen anyone else mention yet, is that there are some admirable programmers!
The linked article is the source. The analysis in the linked article placed the specificity within a range of "they could all be false positives" to "they might mostly be legitimate results".

Never understood this argument. Let's take a cause I disagree with. I'm pro-equality, but still think Christian Mingle shouldn't be forced to match up same-sex couples. Because I disagree with their values, of course, I'd never use their website. OF COURSE conservative Christians should be allowed to have a website that aligns with their values. Not only don't I think this website should be outlawed -- I also don't think it's a "bad idea" that shouldn't exist. I simply disagree with the values, so I don't belong to it.

Moving back to the current situation...

I only want to belong to a social network that values science and public health. Why shouldn't I be allowed to be a user of a website that has those same values? You're going to tell me that the kind of website that I want to belong to should be outlawed and not allowed to exist? Or, let's not even go that far... that it's BAD that it exists?

Keep in mind, you can have any view you want. This is whether or not Facebook wants to use their social network to help spread events that would endanger the general public. A "keep things closed" event would be treated the same way.

(I agree FB is too big and should be cut into multiple pieces. And they shouldn't have been allowed to buy Instagram. But for very different reasons. Mostly I worry about their impact, as well as Google's, on publisher ad revenue.)
At some point we have to trust readers to understand that a headline is just a headline, and it's the most prone part of a news story to editorializing. (since it's the part that's written by an editor) A bad headline is not necessarily indicative of the quality of the story - although you can probably tell that you've picked up a tabloid or something if they're all bad.

> In these cases my point is the same - this may not be wrong enough for a retraction but the misleading negative influence is still accomplished.

In this case, headlines involving piracy are a poor example of the point you're trying to make. The word "piracy" originated from a quote from a German minister, so it's not an example of editorializing gone mad.

Well, you'll be on the hook for the storage costs until you arrange somewhere for it to go, so in that sense, yes they can. Yeah, you can sell the oil to someone else in the future, but when? Meantime, you owe rent.
NY was in a terrible place, they should have shutdown the subways immediately when they started getting cases there, but it would have crippled the city.
That sounds like it'd get the EPA involved if you just dumped it, and I would expect that putting oil into an actual oil well is not easy.
>People who are financially secure can stay at home till 2021, nobody can force them to go to work, this is obvious.

>It's a question of being able to make a personal decision between staying at home or going to work.

Double speak. You mean rich people can decide to quarantine until 2021, and poor people can decide between work followed by exposure and possible death, or homelessness followed by exposure and possible death.
> year-to-date, about 1300 people died each day of the flu.

That seems impossible. CDC estimates 61k flu deaths in 2017-2018 and 34k in 2019-2020: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

That is nowhere near 1.3k per day.
Hello fellow hacker, we tried a lot of hit this issue before sending this message but couldn't.

Have you looked at the sites? They go pretty far out of their way to seem like they are locals speaking independently. Astroturfing is generally scandal-worthy.
> How is this scandal?

When political organizations with ulterior motives try to disguise their work as a grassroots movement, it's called astroturfing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing

Also, it should go without saying that an organization actively organizing people to defy critical Coronavirus-related quarantine procedures is a scandal, regardless of the source. The fact that a political organization is trying to obfuscate the source of the dissent is even more scandalous.
I guess it is easy to dismiss the message from ordinary people, since they do not express themselves as well as the professional speakers we are used to listen to. If instead of saying "I want a haircut.", they would say like Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." would they be taken more seriously?

In the movie version of "I Robot", since the three laws of robotics prioritize saving life over following humans' wishes, the AI ends up locking down every humans in their own homes for their own safety. Could facebook sensor this movie since it pictures the lockdown as an evil action?

For instance, in France, more than half of private sector employees have already been furloughed. This is unprecedented. So, who could predict what would be the consequences, including in terms of life? The food production in Southern Europe is down. Can we know for sure that their will be no starvation?

Several countries have not decided to do a stay-at-home-lockdown including Sweden, most of Germany, Japan, South Korea, 95% of China. Praising the strategy of these countries should be authorized. Several eastern and northern Europeans countries are opening up as well, even though the disease is still there.

People should be able to take a calculated risk. When people drive to their job, they consider the risk of having an accident, and the benefits of being able to reach their work place, then they take a decision.

The most accurate data about the fatality rate of covid-19 may come from the Diamond Princess cruise boat where everyone has been tested. The 60-to-80 year old infected passengers had a fatality rate of ~2%. There was no fatality among the infected much younger crew.

Now, the government should inform people with data, and let them take a decision. For now, it seems that the overwhelming majority of people in France, Italy, and Spain want the lockdown, so they should be able to get it. But people who want the opposite should be able to express their voice as well. Otherwise, the democracy cannot work.
