Through true, that's a bit of a coarse statement.

Should children wreck your finances? A lot of countries are spending a lot of money to reverse that sentiment right now. Yes, they are currently expensive, but blaming people for having children isn't going to fix anything.

What about health aspects? One should never overestimate their fertility. Rates of birth defects rise as humans age (not just women, men too). Complications at birth also rise. Older grandparents have less time to enjoy their progeny. Older parents have health issues that prevent them from spending as much time with new grandchildren.

Each family chooses when it is right for them to add a new member. Finances play into that, of course, but they should not dominate the decision like they do today. Top Tier economies are seeing the results of this myopia.

Many European countries are schilling out big bucks to bump their birthrates and help with these financial concerns. Places like Switerland have had their fertility rates under replacement since the 1970's. Data is a bit wonky, but it seems these policies have helped the problem from a continued backslide, though not ended it.
Going off the article alone, it would be hard to notice this, but the conclusions of the actual study are based on patients with a final results (either death or discharge), but that only includes about 46% of the cases. Specifically, as noted by ivanonymous, that's only including 320 patients on ventilators who died or were discharged versus 861 still on ventilators. If all 861 patients recover, that 90% would drop massively (it's hard to say how much without breaking the numbers down more completely).
It may be worth looking into further, but the section near the end of this very long article that recommends quack treatment websites really calls into question the quality of the rest of it and the motivations of the authors, if you ask me. E.g.:

"The web-site entitled 'Infections cured' (http://infectionscured.com) is also worth checking out."
Right. I think, if by 1.0 we aren't able to show significant performance gains in a wide sense (latency, frame stability, and the actual frame time), it will be a failure.
I have a hard time seeing how "gross" could describe the look of Material UI. Uninspired or unnatractive maybe, but gross?

Also, it's dead-easy to customise - there are a bunch of facilities for doing so, from global to component level, with CSS-in-JS or CSS class overrides. You can make it unrecognizable without that much work.
We already have a sizeable population of bleach-drinkers in the US, and he just encouraged them to mainline it. Given that his strongest base is the conspiracy-minded, which has a significant overlap with the bleach drinking and antivax movements, it seems like "idiot" to encourage them to kill themselves. But given how unshakable the misinformation machine is, I suspect that his base will only be strengthened by this move (the deaths will be covered in mainstream media but it's so easy to denounce such reports as conspiracy) -- "savant", then?

Oh wait, you mean because he kinda-sorta had a similar suggestion to this absurd medical practice? No. His goal is to stay in power.
>Well, from a high-level view the only way a cell can make more cells is to divide, and if it divides it either makes a copy of its genetic material first, or gives half of it to each daughter cell. So in that sense, they're the only two ways possible.

Ignoring the idea of three-way (or more) genetic swaps, which would be like another type of meiosis, what if there were other ways?

What if there was a "carbon copy" or "embossing" technique where a cell bumps it's genes up against other's genes, and through some process yet to be determined , the other's genes are "nudged" into conforming to the shape of the cell's bumping it?

Sort of like picking a lock.. you bump up against each cylinder enough times until it falls into the shape you want it to. No splitting of chromosomes, or transfer of actual genetic material needed.

Of course this is a pipe dream but I'm just imagining here.
2 things about this.

1. Those designs may have just been ahead of their time, and now that retro-future is back in fashion, I could see those swept designs being wildly popular. I would love to own a vehicle that looks like a 1940's-1950's view of the future.

2. I am glad that people like Matthew Bird exist in the world.
People buying houses for $1 million are wealthy even by the standards of the Bay Area. Median household income in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metro area is ~$125,000[1]. A traditional $1 million mortgage would require a $200,000 down payment, and ~$5000/month. The monthly payment alone would be 48% of the combined monthly pay for everyone in the household in a household making the median. House purchases at this price are only possible for households that are making significantly more than the metro-area median.

You need to factor in frequency of landing and cost to build. Orange is in the sweetspot. IIRC, red gets landed on more often, but the extra $50/house makes it tough to build up. Green is crap on both accounts. Pink is less frequent but cheap to build. Light blue and purple are only good if you monopolize early and can drive a building shortage (get ready to be yelled at by anyone not intimately familiar with the rules). Boardwalk is mostly useful to tilt the balance in your favor on long games. (as you pass go and collect chance cards, $ in circulation go up over time, so it gets harder to bankrupt people)

Not necessarily — to give you an example of the variation, the marginal income tax rate in the Canton of Vaud is 26%, while the marginal income tax rate in Zug is 10%[1]. The Federal marginal tax rate is 9%. That means that if you earn 500,000 CHF and live in Zug, your net top marginal tax rate would be approximately 19%, while in Vaud it would be approx 34%. A 78% difference.

This is a level of variation that surpasses even the US. While Texas doesn't have an income tax, the net marginal tax rate for a Texan is 37%, while the net marginal tax rate for a Californian is 50.3%, or a more modest 36%, and that's the most extreme in our Union.

I think it seems like a direct path between hearing what kills the virus outside the body (light, heat, disinfectant) and then saying OK, how do we get those things inside the body? Then ignoring potential bad consequences of what happens when you get those things in your body.
Not generally, no. Or rather, there are other things that are a much bigger cost.
A few years ago I installed FreeBSD on my main machine, and actually used it for some time (6ish months?).

It was really nice that I could actually google things, and usually come to a mailing list or the FreeBSD manual for my version of the OS, and then actually be able to find what I was looking for and have it work (most of the time).

It's the opposite with Linux. Yeah, this is just another "hey lets copy osx and pretend we're actually doing something real" project, and more than likely, everything will work fine just like in the standard ubuntu, but it's still just another fragment in the already overcrowded and starting-to-stink-from-all-the-dead-projects ecosystem.

I get the freedom to do everything you want, fork this, change that, I get that 100%, but man it would be nice to have Linux be unified.
Just spitballing, but it's probably the size range where the difference between one and two physical platters is whether they use SMR or not. A cost-cutting measure.

So you replaced FOSS Wireguard with a rebranded yet paid Wireguard service? Also how is NodePort is considered "internal" service? The whole point of NodePort is to be accessed from outside the cluster which can be easily done with the real Wireguard.

Good points.

I'm assuming the job market for non engineers in the Bay area right now is pretty tight, so for them, and assuming they have a mortgage, they might be caught between a rock and a hard place.

I don't know what percentage of the market that is though.

One of those articles where the question in the title can be answered with 'no'.
At the same time, if programmers had to deal with the same kinds of rigid constraints as builders, writing a simple MVP would cost millions, and we'd have a lot less new technology in the world.
In my case it's not snobbery like someone else insinuated. I don't consider myself "better" than my coworkers -- just not close to them.

I tend to make few friends. Of those, I made most of my closest friends at school and the Uni, I'm still in touch with them, and we keep our friendships going through good and bad times. It's an age thing, I suppose. If I were still in my 20s I'd probably make friends at work, too.

I tend to occasionally keep in touch with former coworkers, but I'm an introvert, I tend not to enjoy "afterhours" activities, and eventually all these new bonds tend to fade.
This is about the dynamic between people within the organization (coworkers, boss, etc.), not about external communication to customers. That is, we aren't talking about whether an individual software engineer should apologize to the customer or the end user.

So the analogous question would be whether someone who has worked as a plumber has ever heard a coworker plumber apologize for messing up a job. I'm hoping the answer to that is yes. A plumber apologizing directly to a customer would be more analogous to a company making a public announcement about a bug, which is a different issue than how responsibility is determined within a team.

So it is saying we haven't been able to isolate the extent of the social impact. But this applies to so many things. Do we have research that shows that most people are heterosexual that is consistent across culture and not confounded by social factors? No, we don't. There have historically been cultures where the view on sexuality, what constitutes sex, and how sex is viewed are so different than we cannot say that our current split of people's orientation is based only on biology.

But, this sort of disclaimer is not being equally applied because it would apply all psychology and sociology research. We have a few examples of research that shows just how extreme the social impact can be, but we don't understand impact enough to account for it.

Is it good science if the standards research are held to are not consistent depending upon the topic?
That's not necessarily true. The article on MedPageToday barely notes it, but the actual study clearly spells out that only about 46% of patients were included in the study as having a final results (either death or discharge). As noted by ivanonymous, that's 320 patients requiring intubation (282 died) vs 831 still on ventilators, hopefully recovering.

TL;DR: looking at the headline and not the study itself is deeply misleading.
With plumbing the tools of the trade have been the same for 100+ years. Pipes, wrenches, valves. It seems like every two years in the software engineering realm you have to learn to use a completely new tool in order to be valuable to a company.

That's what people say. That's not how it works.

If the lockdown is ineffective, there's not point in doing it so whatever.

If the lockdown is effective, you kill the exponential spread. This is good, but if there's no exponential spread, you haven't actually infected many people at all. When you lift the lockdown, you're close to the same level of vulnerability as when you began. For a virus like this, you likely cannot 'eradicate it' by keeping the lockdown ongoing.

There's no middle ground where you slowly build up immunity across the population at a level hospitals can support. We can't turn the economy off and on again until the virus has had burst spread either.

The lockdown makes a lot of sense for 3 reasons: to learn more about the disease, to gather more PPE for doctors, and to reformat critical systems to run with a healthier population. It's not a bad idea. But it's utility is going to run lower while the cost gets higher. We need to address that.
Sure but what does it matter if it's "monetary policy" or "political policy"? They work hand in glove and as @mywittyname aptly states above:

"...I feel like the wealthy in this country have developed the perfect scheme for leeching the wealth from this country."

The perfect scheme involves a bailout mechanisms without question. And too many Americans are falling for the scheme with hands out for a piece of welfare from the wealthy. They are selling out the future of their country in exchange for a pittance in the process.

The scheme doesn't stop, it only exacerbates as long as the bailouts continue...bailouts for wall street, bailouts for mains street, bailouts for every day individuals = all part the scheme by design.

I'm in constant awe of how many otherwise intelligent people can't grasp the role that these "bailouts" play in perpetuating the inequality gap. That, or they happen to be on a certain side of things and don't want to know what it's like to be on the other when the gravy-train stops flowing...

There's something more impersonal and less about authenticity, when you look at the factors involved in joining a group and becoming part of its identity, that's for sure.

For that same reason though, I'm not sure I'd say that other groups differ so much. "Fake" realtors, "the typical hiker," or whatever it may be. The in-groups can often tell you about it first.

Groups do seek their own identity over time, and sometimes groups can have identity crises, in which they arrive at a consensus on a new set of values after some other set of values has run its course.

Even more importantly, individuals encountering this perspective--before the group does--have the opportunity to run early experiments and find new ways of being or communicating from the heart that may also be attractive to the social organism (of tech, or whatever).

Someone with your outlook may be able to help with this...and that could really add up to a lot.
I find a pizza stone is a great addition to the regular home oven for crispy bases.
I think you have left out a third, which the GP was alluding to, and which I see written everywhere in UK lending literature:

3) Lending "responsibly", where responsible means protecting borrowers by not allowing borrowers to get into more debt than is good for them. (As opposed to responsible being for the lender's benefit.)

There's a paradox in this, because it exarcerbates some problems that it is supposed to be helping with (the assumption is it's to protect would-be borrowers from problems).

For example, if someone has multiple high interest loans with different providers and would like to convert them to one lower interest loan with a longer payback period (a consolidation loan), that would be good for the borrower. It would be a responsible thing to provide that. But it's all but impossible for borrowers who would be most helped by these to get one.

In the UK it is has been the law for a few years that lenders are not allowed to lend to private borrowers without evidence that the borrower can repay, regardless of what criteria the lender would like to apply. This is separate from credit risk assessment, and is done after the borrower has been approved for the loan. The result is that a number of borrowers would could pay, are no longer able to obtain good quality credit because the necessary evidence is too difficult to provide, and end up in a more vulnerable situation as a result. For example, self-certified mortgages for self-employed small-business owners used to be a thing, now borrowers in that position can only get a foreign self-certified mortgage, with significant loss of protections. Personal loans are subject to income proof now, which mean people with variable income use credit cards instead at much higher rates of interest.

The mortgage thing, combined with high property prices and very low interest rates, has widened the "haves and have nots" gap, where those who managed to get a mortgage at some time have much lower property costs and falling while gaining equity, compared with those who didn't get one and are trapped with high and rising rents. It would seem responsible to offer the latter mortgages when they have shown a long-term pattern of consistently paying higher rents than an equivalent mortgage, but it is not taken into account, bizarrely.

I think it's more subtle now, though, and harder to be aware of.

Back in the day, robber-barons simply exploited the working class through substandard working conditions, and outright theft of money or property [citation needed].

Now, though, you need a deep understanding of global monetary policy, tax law, and labor laws to be able to connect the dots.

So I would argue that now is different from earlier times in history, because those who are exploiting the system have finally figured out how to a) hide it well enough, and b) co-op members of the classes being exploited to fight for those doing the exploiting through misdirection and propaganda.
I must admit to not really understanding the TidyVerse attraction, or why I should be doing "tidy data evaluation", rather than using base R.

If I want to use an advanced data manipulation library, I'd typically reach for data.table. If I want to use a verb based approach, why not SQL rather than dplyr.

I have tried dplyr and code I've written a few years ago still imports that package (hopefully it still works), but I just didn't find it was particularly useful or helpful compared to the alternatives.
Hey Hackers,

We started as a traditional software agency a few years ago and kept seeing problems with the model: prices were too high in order to maintain margins and account for unexpected complexities, scope seemed to be constantly disputed, etc. It didn't work on the agency side or the founder side.

To solve this, over the last couple years we built a system that automates most of the development process. The frontend components and backend services are built to maximize reusability between products on the platform, which allows us to release applications many times faster than traditionally built software. This also drives down the price for founders so it's been a win-win.

I would love any feedback on the landing page messaging to see if it's clear. Or if you have any questions about the platform itself, happy to answer!
That sounds right. I got a WD60EFAX and a Seagate ST6000VN0033 a few months ago, and the WD is significantly lighter than the Seagate.

Most people play a modified version of the game, without the auctioning of property, and with additional money put into the game when landing on Free Parking. Most also play they game as children.

Without auctioning, and with the money from Free Parking, the game lasts longer, and is frustrating for the losing players -- particularly for children, who have to tolerate the gloating of the winning child.

A few weeks ago I tried Tabletop Simulator with two other friends to play Gloomhaven[+]. I admire the developers that took on such a (positively) complex and rich game as Gloomhaven.

But it was a far cry from in-person playing (I realize). It's very much understandable—you just can't replicate that high-definition feeling you get from in-person game, especially from such a rich game. I was 'dejected' (again, that's not the right word) enough that I didn't try Tabletop Simulator anymore. Maybe I should try other games.

Man ... do I now wish that I hadn't turned down (with lazy excuses) all those in-person Gloomhaven sessions I was invited to.

There are two different things going on.

If you need a realistic model of a human for (say), preclinical or toxicology studies, chimps are almost never used. Rhesus monkeys are. Dogs, sometimes, or pigs. Ferrets work pretty well for respiratory stuff. Models are sometimes picked based on genetic similarity, but functional or anatomical similarity also guide the choice. Pig hearts are a go-to model for cardiac stuff, even though a primate heart is obviously closer.

Very occasionally, people will study chimps qua chimps. This is indeed because they're close to humans, but it's not usually aimed at improving human health. Moreover, this was never particularly popular and is now incredibly rare. Primates account for like 1-2% of vertebrates used in biomedical research; chimps can't be more than a tiny fraction of that.

If you said "software is written in assembler because it's close to the machine", I think most people would agree that it could be, but also that it is, in practice, not. That's exactly how I feel about this. Chimps could be used for biomedical research--and for that reason--but in practice, they're not.
