This new test from Karolinska Institute cannot have false positives, only false negatives. However, the way the test was conducted was indeed incorrect (they accidentally included people who gave blood because they were infected so it was not random). They will conduct a new test so let's see what that says.

Okay, your previous post was pretty unclear, but given this explanation, I'm giving you a rare (for me) downvote. You're speaking way too confidently about things that are definitely more ambiguous than you're letting on. It's important to be right, especially when you're crapping on other people's work.

I've also posted some skepticism about what they're doing, but the difference is that I'm asking questions rather than making assumptions.

kujon is probably the closest, but it means a person who gets good grades because he works on them very hard, especially by rote memorization and repeating. His method to learn anything is brute force. You never call someone who asks great questions a 'kujon'.

Nerd is different in that it's more about interests. If you're interested in any kind of science, biology, history, literature you're a nerd. Anime nerd is also a valid combination but it wouldn't work for 'kujon' because there's no repetition.

For context, here is a censored version of the transcript that caused Carl Benjamin to get banned:

"I just can’t be bothered with people who chose to treat me like this. It’s really annoying. Like, I — . You’re acting like a bunch of n-----s, just so you know. You act like white n-----s. Exactly how you describe black people acting is the impression I get dealing with the Alt Right. I’m really, I’m just not in the mood to deal with this kind of disrespect.”

“Look, you carry on, but don’t expect me to then have a debate with one of your f--gots.…Like why would I bother?…Maybe you’re just acting like a n----r, mate? Have you considered that? Do you think white people act like this? White people are meant to be polite and respectful to one another, and you guys can’t even act like white people, it’s really amazing to me."

Seems quite ban-worthy to me, but of course each individual can judge for themselves. Do note that the whole section has a sorta racist slant best exemplified in the contrast between "white people are meant to be polite and respectful to one another" and supposed "black people" behavior.

Honestly, this was foreseen by everybody writing commentary. All the coverage of the paycheck protection program mentioned that the loan terms were extremely generous, and the money was not enough to cover everyone who was eligible, so it was going to run out really quickly.

The only answers here are political: to hold legislators to account for passing laws knowing they have not provided adequate funding and basically running a government-sponsored lottery.

IIRC the loan is forgiven if used on payroll?

In any case, the fact they are on the hook for it is not the point. There are lots of firms who want to be on the hook but can't get the loan they need.

That's not an estimate based on archaeological discovery, it's the classical date given by Varro Reatinus, which he took from Titus Atticus (I'm mentioning Varro Reatinus simply because this timeline is now called the "Varronian timeline"). Titus Atticus came up with it based on various traditions and works available to him, but it's really just one of the dates that have been proposed by people in that age. It's the most common traditional date today largely because of a pretty complicated tradition of politics, and of legal and written works, that ends with Joseph Scaliger in the 16th century. It became, more or less, the "official" chronology used by the Roman state at one point, and it ended up inscribed on Augustus' Arch and on the Fasti Capitolini. But that's about it. In fact, it's likely that everyone even back then knew at least a good part of it was made up, since it was based on a bunch of traditional dates that didn't quite add up, and Tittus Atticus (edit: or Varro Reatinus? I don't remember which one) had to insert various "dark years" and "anarchic periods" in-between so that his chronology would match the timeline of consulships.

It's hard to put a date on it, because Rome likely developed out of several villages in the region. The oldest arcaheological evidence from the area is way older than the 8th century BC. The Romans themselves didn't have anything other than a best guess about it, either (and several were put forth, not just this one).

Edit: yep, I'm really fun at parties!
With all respect, that isn't how science works. This article is about forming a hypothesis based on limited available information. Such a hypothesis might potentially be useful for designing studies for further investigation or the hypothesis itself might be found to be fundamentally incorrect or contradictory. This step of reviewing evidence for potential hypotheses is essential in order to proceed to meaningful studies later. In this particular case it should be obvious that the core ideas will be extremely controversial as they point in the opposite direction of early advice that people should stop smoking in order to avoid infection and disease progression.

These are PPP loans. It converts into a grant if you use 75% of the money for payroll, and have (almost) the same number of employees by the end of June 2020.

These were for small businesses like restaurants, hotels, etc. But most of the money is gobble by big business.

Personally, its time to change the defination of the small business.
So you just made the claim this is essentially a scam and the people don't know what they are doing (considering the people on the board that's quite a rich claim). JCharante just showed with a back of the envelope calculation that it seems feasible.

You made some pretty bold claims, so I would be nice if you can back them up.
Yes but minus the math; what math there was in 61A was easy. 61A didn't really expect much prerequisite either, but then it took off quickly. A lot of work but not intellectually very hard. It was then taught in Scheme which no one knew. Scheme is an elegant language which we never used again. SICP was the course text which no one ever read.

What I really remember was EE40 taking like a week to explain Ohm's Law. I thought, Ok, I think I've got this class. But then it just went exponential and then the prof just dumped a bunch of chapters on us at the end that he didn't cover and said that'll be on the final. EE40 covered about a third of 105. EE40 just had an insane amount of material and labs. FWIW, I think 16A+B covers better material than EE40 did although I have a soft spot in my heart for what was EE20.

BTW, Calculus 1A at Berkeley, if you didn't take AP Calculus in high school, was brutal. Pointlessly so, since most math in non-math courses was pretty straightforward.

But all the freshman courses at Berkeley were hard. You either got up to speed or you got out. Upper division was even harder, but you were prepared by then.

This is a new test from Karolinska Institute that can only have false negatives, not false positives.

With that said they had to retract the test results but that was due to other reason (accidentally including people who gave blood due to being infected).

If you let the airlines fail, the reincarnations are going all be like SouthWest. Say goodbye to air service to smaller cities. Those routes can only exist at reasonable prices because of the large networks of existing airlines.

If you let a manufacturing company fail, someone will buy the contracts from them. Will they buy the plant with its union workers and environmental liabilities? Probably not.

So a lot of it is less that they cannot fail, but there are major societal downsides to letting it happen.

I'm an SQL hater in remediation.

In a given week I might work with all of the following: SQL, C#, Python, JS (Kendo, Vue, React), XSL, bash, and more. I'm a quick learner and I pick things up fast, always have, I've got a deadline and I don't have the time or capacity to fully internalize the minutiae of all the technologies I have to work with. In other words I depend on the tools to show me the options at my disposal and construct syntactically correct expressions.

What I really dislike about SQL is common to most systems I dislike, where the tools aren't discoverable to me. In SQL it boils down to the fundamental syntactical requirement to put the SELECT clause before the FROM clause. So I have to build up my statement in this weird spiral pattern where I change something deeper in before I know what I can SELECT in the first place. The ability to give tables shorthand names with MS-SQL, i.e.

`left join [dbo].[sometable] st`

...is very helpful but I gather this isn't common to all dialects. Working with XML in SQL is a nightmare as the tool cannot tell you whether you can do obvious things like pass an sql:variable into nodes() until you actually query the server. (spoiler: you can't.)

I vastly prefer the functional programming approach to working with data e.g. C#'s lambda style linq. The tool shows me all the pieces I have to work with, and all I have to do is piece them together the right way.

Well, firstly, these aren't loans in the traditional sense. The Paycheck protection programme (which is what this funding was) was a scheme where you could borrow money from the government and as long as you use 75% of the money for payroll, and don't lay off any staff for 8 weeks, then the loan is forgiven and you don't have to pay it back.

So the point is that it's actually not a loan, for the people who got the money, it's almost certainly just free money. Which is why people are outraged that the money overwhelmingly went to the well-connected large businesses who had the most resources to weather the storm, and the money ran out for real small businesses.

What makes me really angry is the way Trump/Mnuchin talked about this issue. This is not about politics. When I listened to them talk about how they want the big businesses to give the money back I laughed out loud.

I mean have we not learned anything from the past? Does the administration NOT know that if there are no strict rules and oversight the bigger players have more resources to secure these loans. What a complete failure this program has been.

Good question. Averaging can work for short documents, but this becomes less useful as the document text gets longer. When dealing with documents of multiple paragraphs, I've been gravitating more towards thinking "whats the most relevant part of the document?". And for this SBERT works very well - as you can pluck the document's most similar sentence(s) for the given query, and use that as a signal for the most relevant piece of information.

Of course there are many caveats here, and this is by no means a solved problem, but works well for queries that are more than a couple terms.

Let me digress with a little story about one of my experiences with courts. In the 90s I was a technician at a small computer shop in CA. One day we had a sale for really cheap beige boxes so that we could offload some excesses inventory. A customer came in and want to buy all 10 of them. But I knew he owned a local warehouse and I suspected that he wanted these 10 computers to run proprietary inventory tracking software, and because some of our other clients ran that same software, I asked him if that’s what he wanted them for. He said yes. I told him these boxes won’t work with that software because their chipset is incompatible with it. He will have to buy these other, more expensive, ones. He insisted I was wrong. I showed him some documents we had, as I had ran into this before, he insisted anyway, very rudely. I told him if we sold them I wouldn’t allow a return. He said fine and bought all 10 and I wrote in hand “no refund” on the receipt. I was a teenager then so I thought this was “iron clad” and complimented myself for being so smart. A year later the guy came back and wanted to return all 10. We of course said no. He took us to small claims court and won. We were forced to give a full refund, at the one year old price, even though he admitted to the judge I warned him, showed him documents, and said no refund. His counter argument: he didn’t understand. The judge said this was the best way to make both parties whole again.

I lost but learned a valuable lesson, one just never knows with the law. These things are where one starts argument, it’s not where they stop.

Lawyers will have to decide how comfortable they are with the risk, and balance it against the reward. It’s totally natural that different entities will come to different conclusions in this environment.
What are you suggesting, specifically?
If only life were so simple. Essentially you are saying:

if 12*(lifeexpectancy@80) > lifeexpectancy@20 and if (20 year old will commit suicide due to poverty or depression) then 12 oldies get to die.

That sort of reasoning is faulty in so many ways that it would be bothersome to work out all the various ways but let's start off with the assumption that those 12 people are not just as eager to live a few more years and that those last few years may be more precious to them and those around them than a 20 year old that may or may not commit suicide.

This sort of cold-hearted calculus is not going to solve anything at all, merely create rifts by polarizing what it means to be 'young', 'old', 'suicide prone', 'depressed' and 'suddenly poor'.

Being 'suddenly poor' is really hard in Sweden by the way.

Don’t charge that little monthly. Maybe $30 a quarter for more than 5,000 text flash cards or $50 for that plus photos and videos.

I'm working in a couple of projects where there's a bunch of linter-checker things that prevent any PR merges (another... imo somewhat over-used tool) and... I split my time between Java, PHP, various SQL engines and various JS frameworks (react, extjs, vue, etc) and I'm constantly battling different mental models with various IDEs always showing different colored squiggles and highlights telling me all the ways I'm "wrong" about the code I've just typed.

"Prefer string/template interpolation" in JS
Always do string concatenation per another project's standards.

Lots of different frameworks, languages, projects and companies all force different types of ceremony on formatting. "Hey, just let the tooling tell you!" turns in to constant UI distractions telling you that you're 'wrong' degrades (my?) performance. And... the value of most of these formatting things is pretty low, long term. I know that's heresy to some folks, and everyone I talk to sort of agrees, then says "yeah, but I really think standard XYZ is a good thing", but... it's nearly all preference, just like tabs/spaces.
Its too early in the morning for me to get into a flamewar about this.

So all I'll say is that I get a lot of value out of VS Code as a tool, and I don't think it's slow. I think every point you bring up comes from a lack of experience and knowledge of the tool/platform, and it's not worth arguing about online.

I would highly recommend parsing the statements by Chinese media and WHO very carefully. They're using explicitly non-scientific squishy language to describe the whole thing. One example:

>All available evidence suggests the virus has an animal origin and is not manipulated or constructed in a lab or somewhere else,” WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib told a Geneva news briefing. “It is probable, likely, that the virus is of animal origin.

What the heck does that mean, exactly? It sounds like MAYBE it suggests the virus' genome was not explicitly manipulated with CRISPR. Okay. Was the lab growing virus in human cadaver tissue? Was the lab putting selective pressure on the virus in bats? Was the lab even studying the virus which had been discovered totally as-is in the wild?

Make no mistake. There has been no blanket denial of the lab's involvement with the virus. Only carefully worded PR responses and calling you racist for asking questions.
