Tidyverse is more than dplyr. It also includes libraries like ggplot2, for which there really is no peer. Also stringr, for string manipulation, tidyr, which has a wide variety of very useful utility functions for working with data. dplyr is simply the backbone that connects them all and allows you to move between them without switching thought processes.

dplyr also offers functionality that many don't realize beyond its basic data manipulation. tibbles allow for arbitrary data types for columns, meaning you can have data frames containing your typical strings or floats, but you can also have data frames with columns consisting of nested data frames, or fitted models, or other atypical objects. Once you start working in this way, it can really streamline a lot of complex analytical processes, make your code much cleaner and easier to work with, and allows you to integrate them directly into other tidyverse packages, like ggplot2.

> If I want to use an advanced data manipulation library, I'd typically reach for data.table

Data.table is powerful, but from a usability/readability perspective, most people find it inferior to dplyr. And there are now packages for using the dplyr API and having it run data.table on the backend, so I personally see little to no use for using data.table by itself anymore.

> If I want to use a verb based approach, why not SQL rather than dplyr.

This seems like an overly simplistic reduction. There are bigger differences between dplyr and SQL than both being a verb based approach. And even were there not, dplyr is directly integrated within R. It is still much easier to do your data manipulation directly in R and handing it back and forth between dplyr and whatever other libraries you are using, than it is to do the same in SQL (even utilizing SQL queries within R).

The beauty of the tidyverse is that it is unifying the most important aspects of the data science process under a single approach and API philosophy. It integrates in a way that is pretty unprecedented not just in R, but in any programming language (where data analysis tasks are concerned).
Defense pork type projects aside military also provides trade school to a heck of a lot of the people in it. If you're not an infantry or security type MOS you are almost always leaving with training in a skill that you can roll into a better than entry level job in that field. The people who's specialized job training is almost exclusively combat related can roll that into a career in law enforcement but it is harder than (for example) a mechanic switching from tanks to combines. You could argue that the military is not an efficient way to equip these people with these skills and that's true but the fact of the matter is that a lot of people who enter as 18yos with only general labor type jobs on their resume leave as 20-somethings with a marketable skill.
> Considering how much weight the words of a president have I wonder if some of his underlings will now go out and spend energy on investigating these ideas

In fact it was reported last week that Rick Bright was fired from HHS because he tried to resist the chloroquines spin and push traditional vaccine development instead. It seems almost certain that significant bandwidth will be tied up in the bureaucracy because of the desire in the executive branch to provide evidence backing up POTUS statements.

> Your comments aren't as rock solid as you believe, and there are many points either glossing over things or complete ignorance.

thanks man. I think you're demonstrating complete ignorance too. For instance, that quote of mine which you posted out of context clearly says the opposite of what you think it says. MORE people will die if the lockdown is lifted, and that those who would have died anyway (if it were not lifted) will die SOONER. Both obvious and uncontroversial.

That aside, triaging is very sad, but has a relatively small effect on total deaths, because the people you triage are the most likely to die, given care. This is very very different from random people dying who would not have died anyways. Hospitals that need to deny patients, which as far as I'm aware is just a single region in Italy with one of the oldest most vulnerable populations in the world, are doing so not because they can't actually take more people in for the most basic low level of care, but because there's basically nothing they can do.
Ok, that’s fair enough. I don’t disagree, I just think that it’s often out of your control (which it sounds like you agree with too).

The problem in this case is not necessarily that President Trump is dumb (he may well be), but rather that he is dangerously overconfident in his abilities. He is one of those people who assumes that he knows more than the experts in those areas, and no amount of counter-examples dissuades him from that.

This is a horrible attribute in a president, who constantly has to deal with an array of issues that no one person could ever be expert in.

That's all true. I think the advantages to a server-based app are 1. available from any device, 2. able to operate on your behalf at any time

Wow thats huge. I haven't used twitter in years, I wonder if it was always so bloated.
In some cases maybe, but I don't think it could work in all cases. One of the things that monomorphization does for you, is statically determine the size of your types. For example, if you have a `Vec<u32>` and a `Vec<u64>`, the implementation of `Vec` needs to multiply by the size of the element type (4 bytes vs 8 bytes) to figure out the offset of each element. I don't think regular dynamic dispatch provides size information, so the compiler might need to "invent" a new flavor of dynamic dispatch internally if it wanted to do this?

As the other commenter said, probably the best resource out there is "R for Data Science" by Hadley Wickham, the architect of the tidyverse. It will get you up and running with the most important parts of the tidyverse (dplyr for data manipulation, ggplot2 for data visualization, tidyr for general data cleaning utilities, etc).

This was with a 4k vertical and 2560x1080 (21:9) horizontal monitor, which I also use with Windows and macOS. I'd say it works about as well as Windows.
How feasible is it to just....take out all the blood, treat it, and return it?

Wouldn't there be some residual blood with a virus or whatever you want to stop?

Sure but someone is still running the drive-thru at every McDonald’s in the bay area.

Help me understand.

"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said, that hasn't been checked but you're gonna test it. And then I said, supposing it brought the light inside the body, which you can either do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're gonna test that too, sounds interesting. And I then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute, and is there a way you can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it'd be interesting to check that."

What does this mean? It certainly sounds to me like he is talking about using disinfectant to clean the virus out of the lungs.

Yes. When you remove the blood from the body and expose it to UV, you're exposing the pathogens in the blood directly to UV. When the blood is still inside the body, UV can't reach it, it's blocked by the skin. Also, that causes sunburns.
I suspect it's because there isn't much advice to give.

My answer, having checked a few of your boxes... Your lifetime wages are going to be lower than many of your peers. This is unlikely to change. Adjust your worldview accordingly. Don't assume any debt that relies on increasing future earnings to be comfortable.

By all means, keep trying, but stay level headed. Success for most is not always right around the corner. Prior to SV eating the world, the only people that said that we all should be entrepreneurs really just wanted you in their Amway downline.

> which has not yet resulted in even 200k deaths

It's almost certainly resulted in a larger number than that already.

Estimating the true number of people who have already died of COVID-19 is difficult.

I've seen estimates ranging from 15% more to 4x more than the "confirmed" figure, which itself has increased from 100,000 to ~190,000 over the last 2 weeks.

That's the number of "confirmed" deaths, by some meaning of confirmed. Some of the contributing figures only counting people in hospital at the time of death, and even that with a significant time delay.
That should work as long as you can reasonably disable the plasma collection bit. If you're sick you probably want to keep that.

> So I think Banks are part of the problem, they need to massively step up their training in security so as not to make this kind of demands on phone calls they have themselves initiated.

Banks are horrible. Their security measures have been and will continue to be defeated by any targeted attack. Not only that, they act very entitled to people's personal information because they want to protect against fraud. Apparently, that is more important than any other concern.

My bank's authentication system is so convoluted people will just write down the stuff they have to type in. This is so normal, the bank employees print out the passwords and hand them out. This happened to me yesterday: I have two sets of passwords in my wallet. They actually print a message saying they will never ask for this information over the phone but it wouldn't surprise me if they did it anyway. The ATMs ask people trivial stuff like dates of birth as if it was proof of identity. The mobile app wants complete access to my phone, including file system, contacts, camera, microphone and call management. They have a "security" browser plugin that's actually a rootkit: it contains a kernel mode driver module which intercepts all network traffic, reducing performance noticeably. I assume it records the traffic and leaks the information back to the bank. If this thing isn't installed and running, the bank's website won't let users log in.
No, it was clearly disinfectant.

“ Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked but you’re going to test it. Supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. And is there a way we can do something, by an injection inside or almost a cleaning? It would be interesting to check that. That you’re gonna have to use medical doctors with.”

I don't know much about espresso, but the pourover coffee I make at home is certainly much higher quality than a Keurig machine. The beans are the most important part - you should get them roasted within the last few weeks.

Even the fanciest pourover funnel costs only 50 dollars, but you can certainly get by with a cheap plastic one for a few bucks. If you want to go full hipster, you will also need a temperature controlled electric kettle, and a scale to exactly portion out your coffee.

Then of course there is the grinder. If you are patient enough to hand grind, you can get a Hario ceramic manual grinder for $50 that produces a high quality grind. Otherwise, a quality electric grinder will be more expensive.

All and all, a hipster pourover setup will cost you less than $500 if you go all in. I don't use a scale, a temperature control, or a fancy grinder - I just use a cheap grinder and eyeball my beans, while pouring boiled water over them, so my whole setup cost me about $50 dollars. That coffee still blows the pants off Keurig any day of the week, and I can compost my filters so I am not filling a hole in our planet with a tiny plastic cup every time I want a coffee.
Hopefully Seagate and the other manufacturers that've been caught doing this will follow suit. It sucks to be a tech consumer buying expensive hardware like this and not feeling like you can trust the company selling it.
That's simply not true. He clearly says "and then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute, and is there a way we can do something like that with injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it [presumably the virus] gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number."

I agree with everything you say. If a rogue MD in a nanny state will talk you into a challenge trial, - by all means, let him do it and face the consequences (hopefully, tough).
But let's not pretend, that it would be an informed consent.

The reason for the vaccine research protocol we're settled on, is the ubiquity of wanna-be Pasteurs, and dearth of the real ones.

On a separate note. We have deprived ourselves of basic human rights under the premise, that lives are worth any economic outcome of shut down. Where I live, premeditated spreading of the Covid is considered by law an act of terrorism. Officially vetted challenge trials just don't add up.
> No. Because it's not just a performance comparison, really. Without realising it, it's also a learning test. The very fact they wrote sub-par C++ code, likely without realising it, and then proceeded to produce (sub-par?

Who or what tell you it's a learning test ? It is a pretty weak asumption.

The publication says nothing on the actual past experience of the developers in every language. They might very well be experienced in Go or Java.

From their C++, It is pretty obvious it is not their main language.

In my experience, this kind of code of nested shared_ptr everywhere is pretty typical of developers with a Java background just starting C++.
That is maybe technically true, but completely misses the context. The only reason this link from 2018 was submitted today and the only reason it's voted up to the top of the front page of HN is because the president of the United States went on camera yesterday claiming that injecting bleach and disinfectants and using UV light was a promising path to a covid treatment.

So now we have to argue about whether or not a 70-year-old quack treatment from soviet Russia is effective against this current pandemic instead of building consensus on test deployment or lockdown exit protocols. It's the same thing that happened with chloroquines last month. It's tiresome, and harmful.
