The derived IFR is still <1% (0.66%), but I'll admit it seems unjustifiably high given the inconsistent reporting out of China. It would have been better characterized, at least qualitatively, as somewhat pessimistic, given all the assumptions.

According to the story, it's BYOB, bring your own barrel.
It’s not a one to one analogy. Any electronic system can be made to be failsafe. Audio mixing as it exists today doesn’t have an easy failsafe solution to limiting output, but that doesn’t mean such a system couldn’t easily be made. Literally anything you could name that produces or consumes more than 100 kW is failsafe. There is no reason an eye laser couldn’t be as well.

"Arms" in the context used by the second amendment is AFAIK generally understood to mean "small arms" and by implication would exclude such weapons by matter of definition.
Very rough scale with respect to sailing vessels around 30-55 foot length... multihulls (fast = 20 knots, common = 15 knots, many = 10 knots), monohulls (fast = 12 knots, common = 8-10 knots, many = 6-8 knots). For an ocean-going trimaran, their 10 knot speed is not fast. It is quite likely the vessel's apparently near-fixed "wingsail" represents a very conservatively-rigged configuration that is biased for stability instead of speed.

I think it would be sort of a waste of time to compare 9/11 to Covid with regards to government overreach. Off the bat, the threat is of a completely different nature, we understand the threat in a completely different way, the threat is taking place within our borders and, of course, globally.

The measures are not broad, relatively. They are explicitly intended to be short term. They are being discussed out in the open.

I don't know, I could probably spend the whole night listing differences but it's so obvious I really don't think I will. Unless you're simple enough to boil both responses to "well it's a thing that a government did", idk, the similarities end super quickly.
The reason wells are hard to shut in has nothing to do with the actual turning off the tap. All wells are designed to turned off with BOPs (blow out preventers, etc). The problem is that if you shut in a well for an extended period of time, you damage the reservoir and will have to do remedial work to get it back to its production rate (if ever). This is why producers are not keen to shut down production. They have to weigh the short term cost of the current prices against the cost of future losses over the lifetime of the reservoir
For what it's worth, the rest of their reporting is still fairly high quality; from what I understand, newsrooms and editorial boards are entirely separate entities at most news companies.

If you're looking for deeper analysis-type articles, I would recommend The Economist--they only publish once a week, but they provide broader views on political and socioeconomic trends that daily papers lose amongst all the details. (They are owned by several rich families including the Rothschilds, though, and some of their articles have a globalist bias.)

Perhaps I was not clear. This graph you are sharing is shale oil, not the pure stuff found in oil shales. Regular oil production reached peak in 1970. We invented new sources that were considered untappable because of the expense of extracting it at one point. I'm not saying this is bad, I'm just saying that peak oil, as it was originally defined, is very much a real thing.

On the plus side for oil enthusiasts, we will probably not run out of the more dirty variety for quite some time.

I think the biggest issue seems to be that you need to migrate the whole thing at once. If it could be done incrementally it would be easier.

Although there are ways, you can still incrementally adapt code base to work on both pythons. Also pylint with py3k option, mypy can help. There's also six packages, but many people seem to had good luck with futurize.

There's also something that I tried a while ago and it surprisingly worked (although it might not work that well on larger codebase?), basically you can use Cython (not to be confused with CPython) to compile Python 2 code and then include it in python 3, this would enable migration file by file.

Slavery is more rampant now than during the Atlantic slave trade times of yore.

The International Labour Organization[5] estimates that, by their definitions, over 40 million people are in some form of slavery today. 24.9 million people are in forced labor, of whom 16 million people are exploited in the private sector such as domestic work, construction or agriculture; 4.8 million persons in forced sexual exploitation, and 4 million persons in forced labor imposed by state authorities. 15.4 million people are in forced marriage.

Twitter got sued back in the day by Tony LaRussa, former coach of the St. Louis Cardinals, for letting people impersonate his account—and thus the verified blue check was born.

So now impersonation is just getting more nuanced, on Twitter, FB, DNS, Skype, Zoom, robocalls, Tinder, you name it.

If someone impersonates someone in person in the US, it’s probably a fine or an arrest. If someone does it on the internet, well, more often than not we can’t tell and even if we do know who did it, we may try them in the US but if outside, not much of a chance.

Why do you think we haven’t demanded that tech companies and governments solve this problem?
BLM was also sabotaged by Russia (from Mueller report), would you ban black lives matter gatherings and protests because of that too?

Although it's true that Marxists and accelerationists aren't the same group of people, they have made strange bedfellows recently, especially with the birth of xenofeminism. The disagreements in accelerationist circles stretch far beyond "amoral Darwinian fitness".

Marx was in some ways ahead of his time in recognizing that the productive capacity of society had already been captured (and had been so at least two hundred years before Capital was published), and the novel demystification of rent, profit and interest into surplus value. Despite the hints that Marx thought "things should get worse before they get better", there is stronger textual evidence for his belief in engaging in parliamentary politics. Whether that advice can ring true in today's 'democracies' remains to be seen.

I was a Sherwood Partners client in 2010. Oracle bought our startup, DataScaler. However, they bought the core assets of the company, not the corporate entity. That's a fairly common strategy for acquiring early-stage companies. The buyer gets the parts they want (in our case: the team, code, and patents) without any of the hassle or liabilities of the corporate entity or any assets that they don't want or need.

That left us needing to wind down the DataScaler corporate entity. This is a fairly technical process and not something you do casually. We hired Sherwood Partners to do the wind down. They filed the appropriate paperwork with Delaware and California, since we were a Delaware C corp based in Cupertino. They stored our corporate files (lots of paper back then) in their warehouse for 7 years in case of any litigation, tax disputes, etc. The offered to connect us with a liquidator to sell off our desks, chairs, phones, etc. They don't actually do the liquidation themselves. Perhaps most importantly, they were legally the "Stockholder Representative" and ensured that the stockholders were properly taken care of, etc.

We used Sherwood exclusively for the corporate wind-down part, as we already had a buyer. They also can help companies find buyers and they have lots of contacts in the valley.

I am happy to answer questions if anyone has any.

OK, it's not just work from home, it's the whole lockdown hysteria. I barely left my home for last 5 weeks. No live music, no bars, no meetings with friends, no long walks. I don't know about covid, but my mental well being and my productivity are clearly taking a hit. I'm especially annoyed by the fact that weekends are not, in fact, weekends. It is two days of solitary confinement without work.

"Praising the strategy of these countries should be authorized."

I've heard variations on this argument made 3 of the last 5 days by the President Of the United States. In what sense is this not authorized? The most powerful person in the world is promoting variations on this idea. Also, turn on Fox News and they have been making this argument almost continuously for the last 72 hours. No one is censoring them. Indeed, if you watch that channel, you might think this argument is the mainstream view.

There is nothing wrong with the argument itself, which is why it is getting so much air time. Still, the actual gatherings that are being organized are a different issue. Until there is more transparency about who is funding the anti-quarantine movement, a certain caution would be wise, otherwise we are potentially stumbling into another fiasco like the 2016 election.
> It's worth noting that there is a lot of discussion in serious circles (including here on HN) about the balance between too much and not enough with respect to quarantine, lockdown, etc., both in terms of where we are now and what we should do in the near future.

The problem is that the "followers" in the "Reopen All The Things(tm)" camp is ASSUMING that you get immunity once you get Covid-19.

We do not have information about this. We also do not have information about how long immunity lasts if you do get some. We also do not have data as to whether a person who has an asymptomatic case of Covid-19 can later get a case which puts him into the hospital.

Herd immunity has significant limitations if immunity burns out every 6 months.
No. You are right. Only one side lies. What was I thinking?
> But given a choice between being alive and being jobless

Is that actually the choice being made here?
Thanks for clearly articulating what many people on HN seem to fail to grasp. It’s not that Google got worse over the years at surfacing the obscure content they used to so easily find. That obscure content has gotten completely buried under the mountain of content being published every day, and the cat and mouse game of SEO has evolved so rapidly that the problem space of generalized search is so much harder these days than it was 10-15 years ago. Not to mention the broader user base that they have to serve as well.
The portability of being able to lift a VM off the hardware and onto another piece of hardware is a nice feature when you are using bargain consumer hardware for your "servers". The overhead is pretty minimal.

I'm not currently doing it with my NUC servers, but it's a pretty good choice to do so, and ESXi is free if you don't need to, you know, manage it in any competent way.
See, when you explain what's wrong it's so much better than just blaming the victim with "You've had 8 years"!

Am I the stupid one or is his twitter filled with his brain-dead supporters? Do they seriously think hospitals can't buy CPAP machines now?

They can but are not doing it because CPAP machines don't have the accuracy, mission criticalness, gas control and patient monitoring needed.
I also find meetings via Zoom less draining, in general, than in-person meetings.

Maybe this is why:

> This, too, amounts to a persistent expenditure of social and cognitive labor as I inadvertently mind my image as well as the images of the other participants.

If I understand the author correctly, if they don't have a constant image of themselves presented to them, they aren't constantly processing how they look to others(!)? Well, in that case, I can see why Zoom would be more draining, but, you know, welcome to my world in any situation except when I'm alone or only with my SO.

I think I have heard at least four different versions of the alleged history of the Franklin quote over the years (one of which being that it is apocryphal and he never actually said it), all from people willing to tie themselves into a knot to avoid the words having their ordinary plain meaning.

It's a rhetorical device, not a history book. A lot of other people have said the same thing over the years, but if you attribute it to them instead, the words are still the same and so is the meaning intended to be conveyed by the people using the quote now.

On top of that, the quote still can't be used for what you're using it for, because giving up the power to tax (note also that at the time the taxes had to be apportioned) is not at all the same thing as usurping the power to infringe rights held by the people.
Enough turmoil and you can get dragged into a field and get shot for being part of a wrong town. There are many ways lives of North Koreans can get worse - history of both Koreas during mid-20th century is a testament to that.
If that's the case then 2.7.18 will continue working and probably it is a bad idea to port it. A lot of work for minimum gain.

But if you actively changing the code, the maintenance will get more and more expensive. With packages dropping python 2 support if you discover a bug in one of your dependencies and fix is in package that no longer work on python 2 you'll need to backport the fix (and maintain your fork) or migrate your code.

I currently run my Sandstorm.io server on an 7th Gen i5 NUC.

I recently picked up some old budget Gigabyte BRIXs that will take on some other fun roles. (A 6th Gen Celeron and a 4th Gen i5.)

I have wanted to run an AD domain for managing my gaming PCs, but I had some difficulty with ESXi IIRC (probably also NIC issues, like in the article), and Intel has decided to be a complete tool about network drivers for "consumer" chipsets being installable on Windows Server. One of the perks of the old 4th Gen BRIX unit: A Realtek LAN NIC.

One of the things I'm sad about on newer NUCs is the removal of the LED ring. 7th gen NUCs in particular have a neat multicolor LED ring around the front panel that can be programmatically controlled... pretty neat for server status like uses. But I suspect they found it rarely used and so left it out for cost or something.
Summary: Covid19 victim blood CO2 levels are normal, so people don’t feel breathless, even though their oxygen levels have dropped alarmingly. Detecting low O2 levels is a sign to get to hospital, and writer posits that this helped some infected doctors he dealt with, and maybe Boris.

“ But when Covid pneumonia first strikes, patients don’t feel short of breath, even as their oxygen levels fall. And by the time they do, they have alarmingly low oxygen levels and moderate-to-severe pneumonia (as seen on chest X-rays). Normal oxygen saturation for most persons at sea level is 94 percent to 100 percent; Covid pneumonia patients I saw had oxygen saturations as low as 50 percent.”

“A vast majority of Covid pneumonia patients I met had remarkably low oxygen saturations at triage — seemingly incompatible with life — but they were using their cellphones as we put them on monitors. Although breathing fast, they had relatively minimal apparent distress, despite dangerously low oxygen levels and terrible pneumonia on chest X-rays.”

“Even patients without respiratory complaints had Covid pneumonia. The patient stabbed in the shoulder, whom we X-rayed because we worried he had a collapsed lung, actually had Covid pneumonia. In patients on whom we did CT scans because they were injured in falls, we coincidentally found Covid pneumonia. Elderly patients who had passed out for unknown reasons and a number of diabetic patients were found to have it. And here is what really surprised us: These patients did not report any sensation of breathing problems”

I like the Economist, but the Economist isn't timely. If you pick a dozen of the best political-economic reporters, especially the ones following the scholarship, aggregate their articles, and connect the threads, you've got an Economist issue 6 months to 2 years before the Economist does, except the Economist articles will elide all the messiness so that the concepts seem more definitive.
Feel free to apply to UW (University of Washington http://www.dailyuw.com/news/article_1219baae-7c21-11ea-99ac-...) for 2021. They will not be requiring SAT/ACT scores. This is assuming you want to spend $$$ for a degree, which may or may not be worth it.

IMO I'd go for a local community college and do the first 2 years there, which is much cheaper. Also schools in EU are cheap/free not mortgage the damn house.

I think this is the simplest calculation of all, and generally the reason people leave or stay in an organization.
