# of deaths doesn't even matter really... what matters most to me - is what this would do to service workers, healthcare workers, transit workers and the ICU's. Even if this proves to be as fatal as the flu, it's the long ICU stays and the toxicity of higher viral load on those who are more in contact with people.

You can't deny what's happening in NYC right now. They're under attack. This would be every city in America, we'd maybe lose 5-10% of our hospital staff across America. Schools are closed now, what about med schools? Will new doctors come out ready to work next year or the year after or will they be set back and there be a shortage?

Lots of systemic damage beyond just the fatalities could happen as a result of negligence. We need to be extremely careful.
I get the point you're trying to make with the data, but could you expand more on "healing cancer and heart attacks."?

Automation won’t increase supply. Ag automation for food farms will only be optimized for small acreage farms and for local food supply chain distribution.

It will tighten supply chain for local distribution and logistics leading to less food waste.

Supply is not a problem with American ag. Waste is.

Seems like a quirky-fun sorta project!

If you've got an SSD connected by a power cord, presumably you could insert an electric-current-meter to see how much power it's drawing, then hook up a speaker to make corresponding sounds.

Maybe also put a temperature probe inside of the SSD's box (perhaps directly on a controller-IC?), then another probe just outside of the SSD's box (or inside of it, but away from the controller-IC?), then use that temperature difference too?

A software solution would probably be easier, but then you'd have to trust the system to give correct information, which I guess would defeat the point.

Someone who'd really want to go at this might make their own controller to place between the motherboard and SSD. But unless it's passive/transparent, allowing the normal SSD driver to be used, that'd seem to require writing a driver for the controller too.

Not sure how this is a contradiction to what the previous poster said. There is a huge variation across Europe and across regions of each country. There are regions where the medical system is completely overloaded. Northern Italy, central Spain and France. It plays a huge role, what phase of the pandemic a country is in. The peak of hospital load is clearly yet to come in the UK. Also, as the vlogger says, people are coming less to the hospitals with non-covid diseases, partially because the local docters are loaded.
Oh thanks, will look into that. p.s. It's a Mac.

edit: Yes indeed! Thanks again for the idea, I didn't think that would be possible, I guess.

Not sure why Erlang is in the sadist category, along with Perl and Regexp, since it's one of the most readable language I've encountered. I get the fetishist part as it emphasizes a specific paradigm but sadist seems unfair. It might be because the syntax is slightly unusual but it's in fact quite simple.
Interesting that your experience with Bencode was this positive. I've implemented a Bencode serializer/deserializer in Rust and here are a few things I've noticed:

* It is very easy to parse/produce Bencode

* It's probably fast

* The specification is really bad

* No float type

* No string type, just byte sequences. This is especially bad because most/all dictionary keys will be utf-8 strings in practice but you can't rely on it

* Integers are arbitrary length, most implementations just ignore this

I think Bencode is an ok format for its use case, but I don't think it should be used instead of json.

If you are upset after 24 hours, then there is an obvious clash with your values. In which case it might be best to stop dealing with both companies and the respective recruiters. Unethical behaviour tends to be recurring. There is no way of knowing that you won't be subjected to other under-handed acts.

Perhaps there will be those who think you are over-reacting. But that is a very personal matter. Some people might not be bothered by such behaviour and even relish the occasional skirmish. Others prefer to focus on their work and results. There is no single "correct" approach. Only the approach that doesn't clash with your moral and ethical standards.
Does anybody know if the testing numbers are per patient or per test? I was trying to run some bayes simulations yesterday and while debating it we couldn't figure out anything useful, because the statistics we were able to find are already rolled up and the methodology is hidden.

What I want to build is not attractive to short term investors. I want to build towards long-term growth. My challenge and current quest, is to figure out what that thing is.
I for one believe the quality of generally accessible k12 eduction is America’s biggest problem, by far. Who’s to build if there’s no good system for creating builders? Public k12 education in America is abysmal and few people are talking about it. It’s because we are myopic and talk about problems only when they manifest concretely in the economy. As in people accruing and defaulting in debt, unemployment, crime, etc. We suck at slightly longer term analysis and getting to the root causes. The American motto is “if it doesn’t hurt me, today, fuck it.” Good luck building a robust society with that philosophy.
> but from the data the likelihood really doesn't strongly favor any of the two hypotheses.

I mostly agree with this. I personally think the totality of the evidence favors the lab hypothesis, for a variety of reasons (note the the other lab conducting and publishing about live bat research in Wuhan - the Wuhan Centers for Disease Control - was BL2, I agree it's unlikely to be the BL4 Institute of Virology).

But I also agree there's also a decent probability it was the market. I'd say 3:1, if I had to put a number to it.

However, folks on the other side seem to want to categorically rule out an accidental lab release, seemingly for some social or political reason. That seems very wrong-headed.

Edit: btw, regarding your point 4, a Bayesian approach would seem to provide more support for the accidental lab release, given the posterior. That's actually the approach I'm using here, I even meant to mention it in one of my comments. That said, I hadn't thought of your interpretation. I'll think about that, but I think that what may be different here is that one of the labs in question here isn't under national control, unlike the previous ones that have had accidental releases. And we all know the problems provincial governments have had with corruption and coverup. But I'll think about what you said.
Who watches "Westworld" and their takeaway is that our cities should look more like theirs?
>Every Western institution was unprepared for the coronavirus pandemic, despite many prior warnings.

This is simply not true. In Australia, New Zealand, and several European countries institutions did act fast enough and did manage to flatten the curve. Go take a look at Australia's epi curve [0]. It is flat. Our case load has peaked, there are less Australians in hospital with Covid19 today than a week ago. There is reason to believe at least some Australian states will be completely free of Covid19 within 2 weeks.

Some might argue that this is because of the lucky isolation of Australia. But a similar thing can be seen in South Korea, and even more impressive results in Taiwan. Institutions can solve this. Even, gasp, Western ones. If Covid19 is a test of the quality of our institutions, the USA has failed and Australasia has passed.

What should they be working on?

Contact your local affiliate and tell them.

"The ACLU" isn't one homogeneous entity. I've spoken with my locals about privacy and voting rights. Naive me thought I'd have ready allies.

Nope.

Lefties are all over the place. Agreement on one issue is no predictor for any other issues. First persuade others to acknowledge a problem. Then get commitments of effort, support. Then forge a consensus around an action plan. Be very wary of kindly seeming people who are actively working against you.getting everyone to agree to the same set of reforms is even more work.

Worse of all, getting momentum is very hard. Because your coalition will dissolve the moment any change is enacted (if not earlier). Because no one will agree on the next steps.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

Policy and coalition building is a lot of work. Maybe avoid my mistake of burning out too soon. Pace yourself for a marathon.

Good luck.
There's a huge difference between "it isn't impossible to bypass" and "does not help in any real way".
yes but, if in a trial, if one arm performs substantially different than the control arm (e.g. 50% or even 100% lower death rate), the large difference between arms can lead to investigators ending the trial early

ironically, this happened in a previous 2019 trial of Remdemsivir, for a different virus, Ebola

in that trial, 4 drugs for Ebola were tested, including Remdemsivir. 2 non-Remdemsivir drugs succeeded substantially--the large difference between those drugs and Remdemsivir, was enough to cause the investigator to end the trial early and drop Remdemsivir

ironically, the investigator for that trial was none-other-than Dr. Fauci. Maybe that's why he hasn't mentioned Remdemsivir much on TV these days, based on his past professional disappointing experience with Remdemsivir

also, double ironically, Remdemsivir was initially designed to treat Ebola virus, not for flu or coronavirus type viruses. The fact that after the Ebola trial, Remdemsivir was declared not that effective for Ebola (the very virus Remdemsivir was created for), means there is even less of a chance Remdemsivir will prove to be effective for Covid-19 in the current trials

Nah, I don't think it's made up; I read the same article. I think you'd agree there is a lot less data available there than there is in other avenues being pursued regarding possible origins.

I still don't think that a lab accident origin can survive occam's razor at this juncture. I don't see how a lab accident, where someone at the lab was infected and spread the virus unknowingly, is any simpler an explanation than someone who was around a lot of bats and possibly other animals picked it up that way. Certainly, in terms of "humans able to pick up the virus from one of these two ways" there are likely to be a lot more in the latter category than the former, right? As another reply to your OP pointed out, a previous instance of lab accident resulting in transmission was quickly identified and contained.

It is a big deal and I share your sentiment there. And you're just asking questions, I get it. Buuut... we disagree. take care.

edit: am upvoting your comments on this subthread as they actually got me to think a bit, which is supposed to be the point.
I don't disagree on the primary point you're trying to make, but I feel like you have a warped image of -at least- Germany. Germany has a housing crisis as well, rent is through the roof in the major metropolitan areas.

> The US doesn't really care that much about citizen v. non-citizen - the economic benefit in the short term is outsource/insource - there is no consideration for the population.

That's very true for Germany as well.

Germany's Nazi-past has left the political climate in a state of explicit denial of self-interest. Obviously, Germany very much has political and economical interests as any nation will. The main difference compared to the US, Britain or France is that it's a big no-no to say so in Germany. Concerns about the impact of decisions on Germany's citizens are considered nationalist and suspect of being far right.
Ya, OP is underestimating Lisp macros, the biggest of which is that Lisps tend to bundle their compilers within their runtime, so macros can actually expand at runtime, since compilation happens at runtime.

The other of which is that they are so easy to write, that they just become another tool you use on a constant basis, just like you'd write a function, you write a macro, no big deal. I don't know that most Rust users have busted out a Rust macro or ever will.

And one more of which is that macros are so well integrated, the languages themselves are implemented almost entirely with them. The number of compiler forms you need is very small. I think Common Lisp has like 30 compiler forms, and Clojure like 20, Scheme must be even less. That's all you need. This is why Clojure has a JavaScript, C#, Erlang, C++ and Go dialect as well as the default Java one, because you don't have that much work to do in the compiler, everything else just re-use the macros.

I'll give in to Elixir, whose macros are pretty good, and for which I like the language, obviously, since it's like a Clojure with a different syntax and Beam instead of Java :p. Still would have preferred they'd just go with a full Lisp syntax and macro system, but oh well, a Lispyfied Ruby shall do.

But ya, most other languages, even those trying to have more macro support like Nim, Rust, Julia, don't fully approach Lisp macros, even if some gets pretty close, like Elixir. Also, I don't know if comparing other niche languages with a niche language is a very good overall comparison.

It’s funny since that specific ruling is what stopped a minority of the US population from imposing their will/“values” on the rest of the country.

Clearly the electoral college and legislature is not setup properly to reflect the will of the people at this point in time, so we have a better chance of it happening from 9 Supreme Court judges.

> At the very least, proponent of this theory should be able to provide evidence that bats or viral samples from bats were present in the lab before the outbreak

This is described for both labs that were doing bat research in published, peer-reviewed research in international scientific journals, by the researchers themselves from Wuhan Institute of Virology and Wuhan Centers for Disease Control. Sometimes in great detail. There's a lot of evidence out there.

But I agree China's total response and/or numbers aren't really suggestive of either hypothesis.
supposedly, part of the difference between the NAS drives and desktop drives (back when they first started segmenting consumer desktop and consumer NAS drives) is that the NAS drives have a much higher inactivity timeout before spinning down. It's supposed to help with longevity since spinning up/down wears out the drive faster and with performance coming back from an idle. I have no idea how much that actually matters or whether that's still true anymore.

Coronavirus Crisis: Case Against Lockdown Absurd
Yes, it's useful. It's even better if you can search your commands with out of order matching (multiple words in any order).

I do this from Emacs (you can use Helm or Ivy, for example) and it's extremely convenient and effective to quickly get old commands back.
I have a single license for TablePlus right now. I do have another machine, but it's effectively a "spare" / "travel" machine, so I don't use it a lot.

If I happen to need TP next time I'm using that machine, the cost of adding another seat to the license is offset by some fraction of an hours billable work, and lasts for a year.

What's always missing from these type of discussions is the consideration that just maybe, offering it as per-seat rather than per-person is why the price is what it is.

Would you prefer it it was per-person but cost $99 for a licence, with a year of updates?

Sure, that gives you the warm fuzzy feeling, and benefits anyone with > 2 machines, but it doubles the price for those who only need one seat under the current scheme.

I'm lucky enough to be paid pretty well for my skills and experience, and I (or technically my company) can maintain some software and release it as open source. But I'm also very aware that high quality fully native developer tools are quite few and far between, and the number that are also cross platform is miniscule. There is significant competition from things built using "cross platform runtimes" (Electron, Java). So when one comes along that is as good as this, they could charge twice what they do and I'd pay happily - but not everyone can justify/afford that much on developer tools.
The problem is that each “we” is pulling to benefit themselves at all costs.

Hence giant military fighter jet contracts that span multiple congressmen’s districts around the country, and while being terrible for the future of the country, is untouchable politically as not a single person will vote against their economic interests.
So, a JavaScript assisted Common Lisp that has no demo that I can run in the browser? Or am I missing the link? It looks very interesting otherwise.
Though I remain conflicted with their choices, I sympathize. Generosity, credulity, principle will always be exploited. I have no idea how anyone can safeguard against bad faith.

I'm just a random guy from the internet in my 20s with no children, so I'm not really qualified to give advice! All I'm going on here is the examples I've seen, which are math focused.

From these examples, you don't have to do anything special in the early years besides talking and reading to them (and of course, building a home/family they can feel safe in -- all the stuff that normal parenting advice is about). In the next few years after that, you can add on some enrichment material depending on their interests. For example, Art of Problem Solving has this really nice "Beast Academy" series of workbooks that goes through elementary and middle school math, but with deeper questions. If they really take to a subject, you just keep feeding them more of it. It'll be fun for them, and neither expensive nor time-consuming for you.

At some point, their interests will become specific and deep enough that you can't lead them, at which point you should get them in contact with peers or mentors, e.g. through summer camps, competitions, or a magnet school. Once they're in that network, it's smooth sailing: they'll tell you what they want to learn! In other words, in general a parent with a full-time job cannot feasibly guide a talented kid's intellectual development up through age 18 (though of course your still are responsible for their moral development). Intellectually, your job is just to nurture their interests, give them the boost they need to get going, and then cheer for them as they continue on.
Won't comment on the idea but I love the execution. The design is cheerful without being maudlin, clear without being cluttered. Super impressive!
Ignore anyone telling you that what you propose is technically difficult. It is not.

The code for what you want to do has been baked into Windows Server since 2008. It also exists in OpenSSL.

The CA part is easy. The “getting the world to trust your CA” is the part most would call “difficult”.

If you can do the latter, ALOT of people here can do the former, and you will likely succeed.

If you cannot do the latter, you will likely fail in the effort.
