If the disasters happen repeatedly despite safety and environmental concerns being the top priority, then clearly they are not.

Money comes first, safety second.

Obviously there will be a lot of effort spent on safety, because otherwise there would be even more accidents, and the whole company might be forced to shut down.

As it is, they have just found an equilibrium of safety and greed.
Interesting that you have the same feeling.

I used to like RTS-style/city builder games and put endless hours in them (think simcity, rollercoaster tycoon, settlers, ... ).

I barely play games anymore, but now I focus more on short (sidescroller) action games. Where each level lasts only a few minutes. (super meat boy, zombie night terror, hotline miami, ...)

Maybe it's a case of instant gratification seeking. But it seems to work for me.

Re: discomfort.

If you're exhausted, take a break. Recognize that information for information's sake isn't just unhelpful, but actively harmful to your own psyche right now. Don't drink from the firehose unless you have a very good reason. Intellectual curiosity isn't a good enough reason.

Some amount of unease aso comes from the fact that we don't know much about COVID-19, and in this day and age, that's hard to live with. The amount of scientifically-prove, peer-reviewed information about Covid-19 is vanishingly small so personally until there are peer-reviewed papers upon which to act, I'm learning to be comfortable with not knowing things. Trying to divine a fatality rate when there's a dearth of rigorous studies, globally is recipe for a descent into madness. (I stop reading threads when there's yet another re-hashing of how the Diamond Princess does/doesn't apply.)

Don't blindly trust a "who", but trust that the truth will emerge. It may take some time, however.
Sorry if I sound irascible, but I think my point stands. Any reopening of the economy before the entire population is vaccinated will necessarily put some lives at risk. The destruction being wrought by continued mothballing of the economy is awesome, and it may well result in the premature deaths of millions of people. Pointing this out is not minimizing the danger of covid-19, it’s putting it into context. And accusing somebody who entertains a perfectly normal line of reasoning of engaging in a “ghoulish” exercise of human life valuation is a perfect example of virtue signaling.

I was thinking on the same line, to dump all the personal memories into cloud not just anniversaries and birthdays but also what I promised to others and what I observed or any decision at work so that later I can back myself up with data. Its like a personal journal in case my memory becomes weak. There are things like evernote but they are more of a active notes which you open sometimes infront of others or while screensharing. I wanted something like Date wise or tag wise. It will be great if this can have a timeline. I also thought of making private facebook posts but for obvious reasons its not a good idea.
All these confidence interval discussions (both from the original study and from the critique) have no value besides entertaining professors who have more knowledge of math than common sense. Nothing good will ever come from buzzwords such as "Agresti-Coull 95% interval".

Bayesian techniques are not much better since no one will ever agree on the prior.

Just treat the study as some super rough point estimate. Adjust for biases such as selection bias if you can. Look at other studies too. Add your personal opinions (e.g., on whether conflicts of interest are relevant here). Complex statistical arguments won't buy you much more than that.

I don't remember us writing any new tests specifically for the python 3 port.

One issue with the test suite was that it made heavy use of a thing called django_any that isn't supported in python 3, so decided to replace it with Factory Boy. We have about 500 django models that needed new factories. Factory Boy works quite differently and it was a lot of work to make the factories behave similarly to the old ones where possible, and update most of our ~4000 tests for the new behaviour.

So that was one issue. It was tempting to just patch django_any, but we decided to tackle the technical debt instead.

This is an heavy statement...

Just to clarify, my comment was mostly independent of whether trump deserves or not that opinion. I am not a US citizen and my country had it own complex story with weird politicians. I have no intention to invalidate your criticism.

My comment was specifically a criticism of the media (if you want to know in which direction my bias is, I can tell you that I often listen to Tim Pool; even if in the last year he got worse in my opinion).

Bringing example is hard, as they will never be comprehensive, but for example the different attention received by Kavanaugh's and Biden's accusers is telling, or how Biden's twitter account published a doctored video of Trump calling COVID-19 an hoax (a whole minute was removed before "this is their new hoax") and twitter did nothing, but then removed the same concept from Trump campaign.

I am not trying to start a flame war, nor I am trying to promote any side, but my heartfelt opinion I can give you is that if you dislike Trump then it might be appropriate to consider the media not as an ally, as their (maybe justifiable, but still undeniable) bias is just giving Trump
an inexhaustible source of ammo.

To reiterate I do not have any particular opinion on Trump himself (I honestly do no care too much about him), but I am appalled at the low quality job of the media in this regard.

If Trump is as bad as you make him to be then even more this is a failing of journalism.
Most Germans don't bring back racks of glass beer bottles and bags full of plastic water bottles because they care about the environment so much - they do it because there's a 0.08-0.15 EUR deposit on reusable glass, 1.50 EUR on the plastic racks and 0.25 EUR on one-time use plastic drink bottles, and big stores that sell bottle drinks have developed automats for accepting the empties and tallying up the refunds because they have to accept all standard bottles, even if they don't sell that particular item.

Any other recycling that happens is mostly because trash bins are only emptied every two weeks, and more than a 60L bin for a household is punitively expensive. Even if you don't care about the 3.10 EUR you'd get back for the rack of beer, you do care about having to pay to get rid of something that large.

The key point there is that you do that with their consent. Also you are required to be insured to cover you in the case that you screw up and hurt or kill people. Please show me the insurance company that will cover you if you recklessly spread COVID-19 to someone who then dies.

I don't consent to you risking my life and the lives of people I care about just because you're getting a little cabin fever.

> you take the lives of everyone in your car and those around you in your hands while driving.

Says who? The data we have so far does not support (or refute) that. We just do not know yet.

> But the economic costs - the careers and education opportunities lost to regular people will impact their whole lives.

Yes, that's potentially true. But if you want to be persuasive, you're going to need to quantify that, with error bars and probabilities. We have pretty solid estimates as to how many people are likely to die based on various social distancing, shelter-in-place, full quarantine, etc. scenarios. Those lost lives can't be "fixed" after they're gone.

Economic harm can be lessened and even fixed. No, I do not have confidence that everyone will be made whole after this; unfortunately governments and people in general are far from perfect. But that's not an excuse to take other actions that will directly cause deaths.
Apologies, I don’t understand how you took that meaning from what I said.

Another way to get this is to have high standards, but poor ability to track performance. Then you get more cheaters than honest folks as fewer are able to actually meet the standards.

Imagine, for example, job ads that require 50 years of Java experience from employers who are too clueless to verify such things. Or grading on a curve with a teacher who uses the exact same tests every year. When some people have tests & answers, everyone who doesn't will end up with lower grades.

To get beyond a certain point in this game you will need a exact understanding of certain mechanics and advanced patterns.

If you purely stick to everything you learn ingame, you will probably hit a wall after 20 hours or so.
I think those numbers are way low. Based on demographic numbers:

Older than 85: 650k deaths

65-84: 150k

55-65: 400k

I don't think everyone will be infected, but lets say it's half. That's 600k. Let's say it's 10%. That's 120k. By any measure, the loss of life is... just breathtaking. But either way, parent was taking about letting everyone get it to build herd immunity, so that's where "everyone gets it" is coming from.

> the doubling of suicides resulting of lockdowns this year to 100k make us more likely to die from suicide than covid-19

This had been circling the internet a little, but I would caution against extrapolating an uptick in suicides into doubling by the end of the year. There are no doubt consequences to sheltering in place, domestic abuse is a concern as well for example. But this is the best we've got.
I am much more worried about censorship under the guise of "fighting misinformation" than about any level of misinformation. A functioning democracy is robust against people saying random things in public. If you feel the need to use some central authority to stop people saying things --- even if you think those things are "astroturf" or whatever --- something is fundamentally broken.

So what if someone wants to launch a bunch of "reopen" websites in some coordinated way? These websites just say something. It's not some kind of attack. It's a bunch of words.
Do you have citations to back up those numbers? I've been looking for things to read that try to quantify the potential harm of shelter-in-place orders, but haven't found much that go anywhere beyond wild guesses.
ALL wells, including the "very cheap wells" are easy to shut in, by design. It is an essential safety feature, mandated by all relevant codes, rules and regulations.

SOME wells can be a little difficult to restart after a shut-in. This includes, for example, offshore wells which extract waxy crude - the crude can simply solidify in the pipe if allowed to cool down to ambient temperature. See link below. This is usually not a big problem for a planned shutdown, as the facility will take measures to prevent such a situation (eg flush the pipes with diesel right after shutdown).

I suspect the problem might be more difficult with some pipelines, as these may be impractical to flush.

Any idea how the 4900HS compares with the ARM chips in the new iPad Pro ?

Yeah, this is obviously a replace vs in-place modify difference. Could replace the script with a simple copy-to-temp+rename-back.

Yeah but I think they have a point. As a former Perl user and current Python convert I do think the mistake was to call Perl 6 Perl.

It gave me at least a false sense of thinking Perl 5 was done and going to be replaced.

At the same time I found Python to be much easier to write, maintain and I became attached to the structure that PEP provided.

There were a lot of other factors that made me switch, but that particular point of not calling Perl 6 Perl made me think.
Sweden started out well but recent numbers indicate some concern. 1,580 deaths [1] as of Apr 20. Here are some comparisons and projections. I'm just using other people's estimates (I'm no expert but IHME ([3]) is). Sweden's expected total deaths of 5,890 by IHME, looks to be about 4,000 more deaths (preventable?) than comparable countries per capita (comparing Sweden to Switzerland which has 1429 current deaths). All data as of April 20, 2020 evening time PST us, or Apr 21 6am utc.

Current deaths per million population: Sweden 156 deaths/mil, Norway 63 d/m, Finland 33d/m, Switzerland 165 d/mil; overall populations Sweden 10 mil, Finland 5.5 mil, Norway 5.x mil, Switz. 8.5 mil.

Sweden not doing well compared to Norway & Finland but it's doing better than Spain, Italy, France (446 deaths/mil, 399 d/m, 310 d/m). If you look at Sweden's daily numbers it varies a lot in a kind of repeatable way. That's apparently attributable to private labs are closed on the weekends and there's a delay in reporting (similar things in other countries); some countries report 1 day late to add up everything too.

Doubling per day time [2], [4], [5]. This is more complicated but Sweden is growing faster than comparisons. I don't have exact current numbers.

Predictions of total deaths [3]: Sweden 5,890 and Switzerland 1,584 (recall pop is 10 mil vs 8.5 mil). Notice Sweden has many more deaths per capita. Norway 280 expected deaths (5+ mil pop). Sweden will have disproportionately more deaths than Switzerland (pop adjusted Switzerland 1584-> expected 1863 per capita (1585*10/8.5). But expected deaths is 5,890, 4000 more!

And by introvert, I mean I can very confidently conduct meetings, conversations and socialise well, but it wears me down.

I find phone calls and video meetings somewhat more exhausting minute by minute.

So much so that I tend to have much shorter phone calls and video meetings. I cant go more than about 30 minutes before I have to stop.

Some people in my office however can seemingly go for hours! Literally 2 to 3 hours of a phone/video meetings and they seem engaged and energised. They love talking!

Lenovo is starting to have some parallel Intel vs AMD product-lines. For instance you have the Thinkpad E490 (Intel) vs E495 (AMD) and E590 (Intel) vs E595 (Intel).

Not sure about other vendors, but for those Thinkpad-models, AMD seems to come out quite favourably.

Try 1 in 600. There are also huge error bars on that ratio, because the denominator (population size of New York), is a rough estimate, at best.

In any case, this is nit-picking: the obvious source of error here is trying to cross-apply the IFR from a limited sample in one city to another, completely different city. If you’re only off by a factor of 20%, that’s a pretty strong indication that you’re on to something real.

New York is testing a lot more than California, so I expect their ratio of undiscovered cases to be lower. But it’s becoming clearer and clearer that the true IFR for this virus is substantially lower than previously estimated.
Since they are going for herd immunity in a single phase, it is expected that their rate will be higher. Their curve has started to plateau and they say their strategy is working, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-19/sweden-sa...
I had to google the ratio of patients to nurses in various countries, because 2:1 seemed very low. In Germany it is 13:1 under normal circumstances and according to a German newspaper it is 5.3 : 1 on average in the US.
