> Another interesting aspect of the result was 6% of men showed antibodies but only 2% of women tested.

That is interesting. So far, men are more likely to die of covid-19 (almost a 2:1 ratio) than women; if this is a repeatable result it would seem to suggest that the reason is that fewer women are becoming infected, not that women are somehow less likely to exhibit extreme symptoms when infected.

I believe that was a joke. I mean he can actually dislike the operator but I'm sure he knows he doesn't have to use it and it also isn't what makes Python 3 different from Python 2 - it just has been added (in 12 years since Python 3.0 release) and nobody uses it in production at the moment anyway.

Something I've noticed, and fallen victim to in recent weeks, is that FB will often display in my feed a post by a news site (for me, they're usually NPR, CNBC or the local TV station), and underneath they'll display exactly _one_ comment. That one comment is almost always something insane (no more serious than the flu, they're counting all dead people not just dead from the virus, you get the picture). But when I open the story to view all comments, there are hundreds of not-insane ones. In fact it is often impossible to find the "featured" comment if I wanted to reply since there are so many others. I get the distinct impression that FB has an algorithm that promotes disinformation comments in order to....well I assume in order to make more money somehow. I've had to train myself to read the news stories (which are useful to me) but brain-skip over the featured comment.
It's very likely that they're less successful than they're claiming. There have been a lot of really shady businesses set up claiming to be able to provide large quantities of PPE and ripping off desperate hospital systems. If they're new to the business, most likely they're either one of those companies or are being ripped off by another supplier doing the same scam. Has anyone confirmed actual, successful purchases from them?
Yes, but only 'well written ones'.

Anything that decided to hit the hardware directly from DOS, or did something that OS/2 didn't support in windows just crashed or had undefined behaviour.

Even windows in protected mode couldn't do all DOS things any more. Even if you dropped out of protected mode, and fiddled around too much you'd end up breaking windows when you switched back to it.

Back then you'd have all manner of weird DRM schemes which used dongles on the parallel port, not to mention manually set IRQs, I/O Ports and blocks of high mem (between 640K and 1M) where your device drivers were baked into the DOS application, NOT the operating system. There were some driver.sys type drivers for random hardware, but mostly it was just cheaper to write the driver inside the app itself.

Programming under DOS was more akin to writing to an Arduino rather than linux/windows back then.
I think that number should be 0.2% (2 / 1000) and not 0.002% (2 / 100000).
Note that the death counts we're measuring correspond to what happens when there is sufficient treatment / health care capacity. We have to assume it would be higher if hospitals were overwhelmed and patients who needed ICU beds were not given it.
Both create information glut. So much content so rapidly that you cannot properly process.

If it passes the sniff test (which is usually underpinned by personal experiences, preferences and biases) and falls in line with your intuition it's one more thing that you "know" withou understanding.

Similar to strange danger, the true disinformation is the subtle inaccurate "facts" we allow ourselves to believe.

>The the DoH wants to step in and redirect until a congressional rep steps in. That's the odd part to me.

Doesn't seem odd to me "we're right, you're wrong and we're not changing course because that would be a tacit admission that you're right and we're wrong" is a pretty standard knee jerk response from government agencies that are used to getting their way.

I suspect that Dr. Artenstein picked up on this right away and that's why he called whichever congressman he called.

You're coloring the history with a lot more hostility than the reality. And the condescension is really unnecessary.

This matches the pattern of Python.org developers and python 3 aficionados being unnecessarily hostile and condescending to the concerns of Python 2 language users. You saw that in 2010; you saw it again in 2015; and you can see it in these threads today.
That is how the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) works. Psychologists identify people exhibiting similar disordered behavior, then they extrapolate underlying traits that are likely related to that disorder. The disorder and the traits get published in the DSM, with the guidelines of, "Subjects who exhibit N of these traits can be designated a psychopath."
They appear to be using an antibody test from Premier Biotech. However, I can't gain clarity on whether we know if these tests are even accurate or reliable.

"But some COVID-19 antibody tests, including those being used by public health departments in Denver and Los Angeles and provided to urgent care centers in Maryland and North Carolina, were supplied by Chinese manufacturers that are not approved by China's Center for Medical Device Evaluation, a unit of the National Medical Product Administration, or NMPA, the country's equivalent of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, NBC News has found.

Two U.S. companies — Premier Biotech of Minneapolis and Aytu Bioscience of Colorado — have been distributing the tests from unapproved Chinese manufacturers, according to health officials, FDA filings and a spokesman for one of the Chinese manufacturers. Many of the unapproved tests appear to have been shipped to the U.S. after the FDA relaxed its guidelines for tests in mid-March and before the Chinese government banned their export just over two weeks later.

If COVID-19 antibody tests are unreliable, they can produce false results, either negative or positive, health officials said. The use of such tests has been widely discussed as a way to ensure that employees are healthy enough to go back to work and to find COVID-19 survivors who may be able to provide blood plasma to severely ill patients.

Officials at the Association of Public Health Laboratories have expressed concern about the reliability of the numerous antibody tests being sold or used across the country with little scrutiny. "

I had a similar problem when I was trying to convince a friend that homeopathy was a complete and utter fraud with absolutely no basis in reality. She was convinced that the internet's overwhelming consensus was that homeopathy was valuable and regular doctors were control-freaks who make things up when they don't know the answers.

To prove her point, she did an internet search for allopathic medicine and showed me how the majority of the results were negative.

Just a humorous anecdote, not trying to start any conversations about the relative value of different medical paradigms.
related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons

> Suppose buyers cannot distinguish between a high-quality car (a "peach") and a "lemon". Then they are only willing to pay a fixed price for a car that averages the value of a "peach" and "lemon" together (p_avg). But sellers know whether they hold a peach or a lemon. Given the fixed price at which buyers will buy, sellers will sell only when they hold "lemons" (since p_lemon < p_avg) and they will leave the market when they hold "peaches" (since p_peach > p_avg). Eventually, as enough sellers of "peaches" leave the market, the average willingness-to-pay of buyers will decrease (since the average quality of cars on the market decreased), leading to even more sellers of high-quality cars to leave the market through a positive feedback loop.

> Thus the uninformed buyer's price creates an adverse selection problem that drives the high-quality cars from the market. Adverse selection is a market mechanism that can lead to a market collapse.

I wonder? Is it time for Twitter to reevaluate their account-closing policies, to make it easier for them to suspend accounts belonging to persons who spread disinformation about the epidemic?
It's hard to believe, I would think, because it would be such a remarkably positive development.

But just from a logical perspective it follows clearly from this data, and there's nothing fundamental about the situation that makes it particularly unlikely.

Of course it's quite possible that the LA data isn't really applicable for any number of reasons. But the idea that COVID will run through dense populations mercilessly, but quickly, and then sort of peter out is completely within the range of possible and non-shocking outcomes.

It's the natural outcome of an extremely communicable disease with a large prevalence of asymptomatic transmission and there's plenty of corroborating evidence for the idea that this is one of those.

It's also quite likely that the false-positive rate with this test is super high. Who knows.

I think that was true pretty much everywhere.

I was at the help desk for an large Scandinavian bank doing the late 00ies and they were running virtual OS/2 instances on nearly every windows pc in order to support an custom app, and still had a few front desks(or whatever the window where the bank teller sits is called) with dedicated OS/2 hardware.

The biggest problem here was sourcing dot matrix printers as the software used as the front desk software only worked with a few models of no longer in production printers.

A few years after i left i heard rumors of an transformation project to get rid the legacy interfaces, part of which had been on going for a decade(as an old school java application) by the time i left for greener pasture, but i would not be surprised if that project it is still not complete yet, nor would i be to hear of retail banks that never bothered with any investment to replace OS/2 based apps.

Quarantining the sick is legal but otherwise the freedom of assembly clause in the 1st amendment does not say "except when there is a pandemic or other fear". If you don't believe that should be the law fine, but since it is law and is incorporated to the states via the 14th amendment it qualifies as illegal.

I would like to think it's possible to protest lockdowns and their economic destruction while also taking the virus seriously and observing social distancing and wearing masks.

Part of the reason why lockdowns were resorted to in the first place is that Americans are, for various reasons, not likely to listen to official guidance about staying apart. See: all those panic articles about various people who knew they were at high risk and continued to go about their daily lives, or take flights or other forms of transporting masses of people, etc.

This is a bogus argument. The protestors are advocating for behavior that will literally kill people, including medical personnel. The protesters are no different than those who call for deadly riots or civil war. They deserve to be shut down for jeopardizing public health and safety.
It seems quite doable to handle "shirt without stripes" in the following way:

1) Gather all items labeled as "shirts" (among other labels)
2) Filter out any labels that includes "stripes"

A shirt doesn't have to be labeled "shirt without stripes" for this to work. A shirt labeled "shirt with stripes" or "striped shirt" would not match, and lots of other shirts (solid shirts, shirts with prints, whatever) would match just fine.
On what grounds are they being seized... ?? This is absolutely theft and the FBI and DHS need to be prosecuted and hopefully sued individually.

Nothing about the FBI/DHS charter allows them to commit crimes.

Not quite; you'd have to drag this through court to get any sort of legal determination on it.
And because social media platforms incentivize controversial opinions that get lots of engagement, even if most of it is disagreement.

IMO this puts the carriage before the horse: the platforms incentivize engagement, sans enough social pressure to actually tackle it, the platform seems not to care much what that engagement looks like, and this is what we get.
I did the work for a reasonably sized project recently - a few hundred thousand LOC. It was long, boring, risky work. Let me rattle off some of the tasks.

Audit all strings coming in and going out for encoding issues. Update all dependencies to their python 3 equivalent. Replace dependencies that hadn’t been updated (typically older django dependencies). Use python-future to bulk update incompatibilities. Changes to metaclasses were annoying. Force all uses of pickle to use protocol version 2. I documented some more during the migration on Twitter https://twitter.com/jarshwah/status/1209381850822496256?s=21

We began getting the code base into a compatible position about 1.5 years earlier. A final push of 3-4 weeks of work got it over the line, with many bug fixes after the deployment.

Other older larger systems will have similar problems at a larger scale.

This isn’t a condemnation by the way. Python 3 is better. The only reason we held out so long was because of the business justification. Once we couldn’t wait any longer it got prioritised.
The title of this thread should be changed.

The actual article title is: "In Pursuit of PPE".

The actual article does not talk about any PPE being seized by FBI or DHS. It
talks about FBI agents questioning the author when he was inspecting samples
of a shipment of PPE before authorizing purchase, and about his learning that
DHS was considering redirecting the PPE. But it does not say any PPE was
actually seized.
Eventually. The article even mentions this, that a strategy may be a long term loser (i.e., risky loans at super low interest rates), but if in the short term it chokes out competition, it means you not only win in the short term, but make it so there's no competition in the long term when those bad behaviors 'come due'.

I don't believe any government was replaced because of bad coinage.

> What bias? Who is biased?

I would contend that society is biased. There is no evidence that says men are better doctors than women, and in fact what little this has been studied says that women make better doctors than men (and is reflected in the more recent med school graduation classes which are majority women).

So it's a question of what you are asking for when you search for [doctor]. Are you asking for a statistical sampling or are you asking for a set of exemplars?

> So statistically, it would be correct to return mostly male doctors in an image search.

And that's exactly it. The AI has no morality. It's doing exactly what it should, and is amplifying our existing biases.
> It worries me, that you even try to find something wrong the the slogan

It depends on the context of the comment.

This phasing in particular was literally created by 4chan people, for the purpose of demonstrating some sort of anti SJW agenda.
You would say the shape of fast response news is malicious. I disagree. I think speed for accuracy is a tradeoff. There is a benefit to having fast response news. I don't have the patience to learn all of the psychological models necessary to substantiate this claim, but I do know people are more more motivated to take action by events that happen closer in time. Some details in breaking news will be wrong, but you wouldn't want to wait a week to learn about a school shooting or the stopping of all international travel.

No it wasn't; it was the better part of a decade. Look, we all know Python 3 sucks (even if some poeple, unfortunately including the former Python maintainers, refuse to admit it), but this sort of blatant falsehood helps noone.
Are properly lined landfills really that much worse than the trouble and expense of recycling? Especially with clean landfill technology?

I think people tend to underestimate the cost and inconvenience of proper recycling. The value regenerated is so low that, personally, I'm ok with sacrificing a couple plots of land to be later reclaimed and turned into parks/preserves.

Edit: downvotes are not intended to signal disagreement. Recycling is not free and I am just looking for a reasonable cost/benefit analysis. Zero environmental footprint is not practical. There is a happy medium somewhere.
