Norway killed its FM transmission, a perfectly functioning technology. Pure one to many distribution perfected over time, deprecated.

DAB+ radio has much lower range and the signal is unstable.

To make matters maybe even worse, HAM radio operators at work inform me the DAB+ standard isn't going anywhere and that the development has mostly stopped. Maybe somehow 5G can do some marvels for the technology, time will tell.
When in doubt always best to talk to a doc. Best case you are completely fine, but doesn't hurt checking. (The irony is that people with ADHD are probably the least likely to get up by themselves and make an appointment given that there are no consequences of not doing it lol)

Thats just a callsign, all callsigns in the US start with K, W, AAA-ALZ or N, commercial broadcast services use K and W exclusively. Commercial Broadcast stations are generally three or four letters, with a suffix like -FM, -TV, -DT, -LP, or -FM1, its even possible to have multiple suffixes stacked KWWW-LP-FM1.

Translators can have even more characters and are a combination of numbers and letters.

Experimental stations are generally W or K a region digit, and three letters starting with X, these are issued out of the pool of callsigns used for amateur radio stations.

Buiness band and GMRS licenses use the same format, generally three or three letters starting with K or W, and three or four numbers.

Honestly what can be expected when the teachers aren't programmers and learned it just before the pupils themselves? Which I guess may be sorta forgivable in the early 90s when there were few programmers (especially in the global periphery) and even fewer that were both programmers & teachers.
Looking into it a bit, they have a spinning machine and my best guess is they use that to spin (in the crude, wool sense not the molecular-level spinneret sense) some of, I guess their extruded goop, into a thread. You can assume from the vague wording, obtuseness in every article and lack of mention of any mechanical properties, that this thread doesn't have anywhere near the strength of spider-spun spider silk.
If parents can provide a better education to their child why would they ever want to settle for the standard?
The problem is not cleaning. The problems are design, donning, doffing, and tracking.

If you have re-usable gear, you have to make VERY sure that what you think is clean is really clean. That means cleaning procedures have to be extremely thorough, and you have to make sure that you NEVER mistake a soiled unit for a clean one. In addition to designing things to be clean-able (which is much harder than it sounds), you need to make sure that they are designed in such a manner that they can be doffed safely. Taking off PPE sounds easy, but when you are guaranteed to come into contact with biohazards, you have to be extremely careful about how and what you do.

Simply put; desiging, manufacturing, and safely using re-usable PPE for use in biohazardous environments is much harder than it sounds.

All agreed.

Both 'dumb' and 'interesting' AI can be useful in a game, it all depends on your game's design.

To give another silly example: Tetris by default has very 'dumb' AI that just gives you pieces at random. You could imagine variants of Tetris with more interesting piece selection.

For example, an AI that makes pieces as unhelpful as possible while keeping their distribution statistically indistinguishable from true random selection.

Or there was an inversion of the 2048 game, where an AI plays the normal game, and your task is to give them unhelpful numbers.
After requesting a retraction for some false news on SBS' website, I was informed after a very lengthy delay that they did not issue retractions to articles unless there is a complaint received within an arbitrary period of time. There's that, then there's the fact ACMA has zero oversight over SBS' online operations because they can only regulate their television content.

For the ABC, on two separate occasions I reported some pretty egregious incorrect reporting and both times retractions occurred over a month later.

Contrast this to the retractions I've gotten from the private sector. A reporter on a News Corp website replied to my email in under 10 minutes (!!) and issued a retraction. A reported for Fairfax similarly retracted a point in an article the following day after a complaint.

So, the contrast is stark and revealing. ABC and SBS will lie to you with impunity and zero oversight, while the private sector at least has the decency to correct themselves in a reasonable period of time.
> if you take a systems-level view, absolutely the best thing a non-at-risk person can do is get exposed to covid, fully quarantine themselves, and then return to daily life

The problem with this kind of "systems-level view" is that individual humans are not cogs in a system. What you propose here is asking every non-at-risk person to take an unknown, but possibly as high as a percent or two, risk of dying. I doubt many people will take you up on that. I certainly won't.

I think the best you're going to get along these lines is to find out, once widespread antibody testing is available, how many people have already been exposed to the virus without knowing it. If that number of people turns out to be large enough, it will be a lot easier to get things back to something approaching normal.
Masks are effective at stopping people from unintentionally infecting others.

See: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/10/well/live/coronavirus-fac...

"Even a simple mask is very effective at trapping droplets from your coughs and sneezes. A recent study published in Nature from the University of Hong Kong and the University of Maryland asked 111 people, infected with various viral illnesses (influenza, rhinovirus and a more-mild coronavirus), to exhale into a giant funnel. Sometimes their noses and mouths weren’t covered; other times they used a simple, not-particularly-well-fitted mask.

Without the masks, the infected people exhaled contagious droplets and aerosols, tiny particles that linger in the air, about 30 percent of the time they were tested. When the infected patients wore a mask, it blocked nearly 100 percent of viral droplets and some of the aerosol particles."
I mean it sounds like if you could get your hands on this yeast you could actually make psychedelic beer (or bread).

Yeah, I read the thread earlier today, and it seemed like there was some causality fallacy. At one point in the thread he says the cases dropped the weak masks were reinstated...but that doesn't really make sense, because viruses have incubation lags. That's not to say it had -no- effect or that it wouldn't have a larger effect in COVID19, but the evidence in the thread seemed pretty weak to me outside of pure anecdote and headline/timeline cherry picking.
It's true, though, all the overfishing, pollution, greenhouse gases, desertification of farmland, extinction of species is all due to the huge explosion in the number of humans on the planet. We're chopping down all the remaining forests and turning the planet into farms and monocultures. At this rate we'd better hope that an ecosystem of just cows and chickens is sustainable.

We don't have to do anything. As women (e.g. in sub Saharan African countries) get more education, the age at which they have their first child increases. As expectations of having your own place increase, and rent increases, the age of having the first child increases. If you want to go all the way, look at Japan, with its aging population and young people who don't want to have sex. Many of them are shut-ins, hikkomori.

Even without this virus, we have been moving towards a world where everyone lives on their own, orders in, gets amazon deliveries, etc. Both parents work for corporations, kids are put into a glorified daycare center run by the government, everyone is overmedicated, from kids (ADHD) to adults (opioids and antidepressants) to elderly (nursing homes) and this is called "a good economy".

If we lowered the workweek to 30 hours, and implemented a permanent UBI (as Spain may do now, and Alaska has done for a while), we could have people spend more time with their families. And if we moved towards increased collaboration rather than competition, we would have a lot more value for the world (think wikipedia vs Britannica, Linux vs Windows, the Web vs AOL etc, Netscape vs IE (thanks for open sourcing that one btw :)) you get the point. Science vs Alchemy.

Anyway, the world has adjusted since we greatly reduced child mortality, and some countries are just playing catch-up. Eventually, we will have a smaller, richer population, with robots and automation doing a lot of the work. That's the future. The only trouble is, shortly after that we'll all live in a zoo controlled by AI :-/
You don't climb a mountain by thinking about mountains then making a huge epic trek in a couple of leaps. You climb a mountain by taking one step at a time. You have to take thousands of steps to reach the top of a mountain. Not every step is going to be perfect, or even pretty. Some will go in the wrong direction and you'll need to backtrack. Some will be missteps that might hurt. But if you keep making a concerted effort to climb the mountain, eventually you'll reach the top. Don't be too hard on yourself - it's important to look back and see how far you've climbed from time to time. The top may not look the way you expected, and you may not feel the way you thought, but you'll have done it.

Stop trying to climb a mountain in a single step, and stop trying to climb the mountain flawlessly. Just getting to the top is an achievement these days. You probably don't want to attempt Everest or K2 right after deciding to climb a mountain. Maybe try a few smaller ones, or some hills first.
Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but some (Goldman Sachs) were more successful than others (Morgan Stanley).

Depends on the use-case.

If you are streaming a live sports event you don't want the video frames to fall behind from the real clock too far, but you also don't want the video to stutter when there is packet loss. I believe you can use the UDP trick I mentioned above to amortize loss of high quality frame data, with "double sent" low quality frame data.
Sad state of affairs.

1. If you logged everything in UTC, then you wouldn’t have to convert time zones.

2. The “date” command can do conversion math. Try “man date”.

3. Once you’ve got the time converted to another time zone, then you have to worry about the time sync on the server(s) in question. Then you get to learn about NTP, etc.... See support.ntp.org and www.nwtime.org.
The person you are replying to is talking specifically about Influenza which isn't spread as widely through droplets, while COVID-19 is spread this way almost exclusively.
All the channel numbers are used. But in the analog days, channels were separated by market to reduce interference. One market would use 2, 4, 5 and 7 while the adjacent market would use 3, 6 and 8.

In this case, you can read the email from Dr Robert Kadlec, the US Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at HHS (Edit: provided corrected title), in February that I embedded in my original post

He was shocked to learn of the asymptomatic transmission in mid-late February. This is a key person in determining the US strategy. Not rewriting history, it’s a email that was sent at the time.

As someone else pointed out, that preliminary report from Jan 30 Fauci referred to was debunked within a few days as that specific person actually was showing symptoms.

> UBI to people outside of the workforce is entirely different.

If you can make it work for a group that are working for money less that the population average, surely you can make it work for a larger population? Keep in mind that there are other parts to this like sick pay, maternity/paternity leave, unemployment leave etc. There are a collection of separate systems that could be combined, have vastly less administrative overhead and improve incentives (ie more work = more pay).
Given there is a question in the Amateur Extra exam question pool about how VECs can properly conduct a remote exam, I'm surprised this isn't more widespread.

> Transfer spots can be more competitive than Freshmen spots. This would especially be true if more people were doing it.

Agreed, that was my experience. Added on top of the limited slots for upper division transfer to a highly desirable school I was in the most impacted major of all and its unbelievably hard to transfer even if you meet all the criteria and you're already in the system.

The amount of BS posturing that takes place to have to 'justify' your acceptance to just want to get in and out and graduate is unfathomable when dealing with administration/acceptance committees, especially if they know they can use your spot to bring in International students that pay upwards of 5x more than you.

Personally, I still regret when I think of the business opportunities I turned down, ultimately motorsports was a better monetary investment then a career in the Life Sciences after the financial crises as cruel luck would have it.

I learned then that doing the seemingly safe, prudent and pragmatic thing isn't always the route you want to take in Life and that following the herd is seldom as rewarding as promised. At least if you fail following your own instinct it will be on your terms and hopefully provide you with a solid foundation and skill set to rebuild if/when needed. In addition to a richer Life experience.

Personally I'm a proponent of apprenticeships and online learning/certifications, which I think is where Universalizes are going to have to migrate towards for a majority of their programs if they have any chance of surviving this post-corona World in the long run.

Those two are pretty much it. I believe the ordering of the data transmission can matter as well (i.e. you are about to send 3 packets of 3 different sizes. the ordering might change deliverability behavior.)

Yes, I have had good experiences with methylphenidate (Ritalin) as well. One thing I noticed is that on adderall I stopped yawning completely. On Ritalin, my body is actually able to signal to me when I'm tired, hungry, etc. The problem is that I had to take ever larger amounts of caffeine to compensate.

I just know that I don't want to be taking adderall when I'm 40.

If people are going to wear masks we need to make sure that they don't touch the mask or their face, or that they wash their hands immediately after doing so.
> Does it need to? If a language interest a community, then it's reason enough to learn it.

I've nothing against people voluntarily choosing to learn a language. But most language learning is done by children who are heavily pressured if not outright forced into it by their parents (who usually, hypocritically, do not put the same time into language learning themselves). That's cruel in my book.
Personally haven't seen them anywhere else at least. While the stations might or might not have call signs on paper, they are certainly not used in any way a listener would notice. (Of course I can only speak for the countries I've been to.)
Alibaba to invest $28B in cloud services after coronavirus boosted demand
Time will tell.

Comparing mortality rates per capita at the start of a crisis when it hasn't spread at the same time/rate in all countries isn't very illuminating (and yes we are at the start, not the middle and certainly not the end). It needs to get to a certain number of cases before it can start to spread exponentially.

After a slow start Japan now has an out of control outbreak and has just declared a state of emergency - it's probably too late to contain it in cities like Tokyo. I sincerely hope they do manage to get it under control because as you say they have an elderly population but apparently hospitals are already close to overwhelmed in Tokyo and a resurgence has happened in Hokaido.

I think New Zealand (where mask wearing is not prevalent) is also a counter-example to your thesis that mask wearing has significantly changed outcomes. Not even hard lockdowns have helped in Europe (though they probably help get it under control). Test and tracing to eliminate outbreaks in detail has definitely been the most significant factor IMO, as practiced in both in New Zealand and South Korea, and interestingly Germany - which has probably seen as many early cases as France/Italy/Spain/UK due to being at the centre of Europe but has kept this relatively under control so far without tight lockdowns and without mask wearing.

There will certainly be a lot of interesting studies after this is all over comparing mitigation measures - at the moment it is not so clear which ones work, and at which stage in outbreaks they are most useful.
