Just curious - do you have any sources for this? I've heard it a few times and just looked it up - I found a paper [1] from March 12 that used "statistical modelling" to predict ~20% asymptomatic after a delay, but several articles 1-2 weeks after 12th indicating that they were still seeing ~50% (e.g. [2]). I think all the articles with that 50% number were based on the same test, but couldn't find anything suggesting that there were follow-ups to confirm the 20% prediction.

Hunter-gatherers regularly starve, because food resources are inconsistent. When you get too old to follow the herd with the tribe, you get left behind to die. You get a crippling injury, you get left behind to die. Hunting and killing game is always a high risk activity for injury and death.

Starvation greatly limited the number of humans.

Me, I like consistent, varied, cheap food. I like living in a heated dwelling in winter. I like cotton undies. I like being dry in the rain. I like having teeth that last. I like having corrective lenses. I like disco music. I like my office. I like playing with my hot rod. I like knowing that the doc can likely patch me up if I get injured. I don't want to deal with horses. I like glass windows.

All this complaining about modern technology "dehumanizing" people makes me laugh. It's like complaining about a door ding in your Ferrari.
> Dead is dead, unless the state finds a way to claim that it was not a COVID19 dead.

It's just a matter of demanding tests to declare as a COVID death and do not providing enough tests.

Brazil, for example, has an artificially low count of cases due to the lack of tests and a similarly low number of deaths. However, cases of death by "pneumonia", generic types of SARS and "unexplained respiratory diseases" skyrocketed: https://oglobo.globo.com/sociedade/coronavirus/alem-da-covid...

>Liero is a video game for MS-DOS, first released by Finnish programmer Joosa Riekkinen in 1998. The game has been described as a real-time version of Worms. [...] Inspired itself by the earlier game MoleZ, Liero provided inspiration for the later games Soldat and Noita.

It's a prison population. Prisons and nursing homes are both seeing shockingly high infection rates because of the nature of what they do, which involves confining groups of people in close quarters.

People in nursing homes are elderly. Lots are dying.

People in prison aren't uniformly elderly. You are bound to see more variation in symptoms.

(Plus, as stated elsewhere, the opinions and experiences of known criminals tend to get discounted, so the report of lack of symptoms may be more about that than about the general resilience of the population. Also also: It's well established that if you ignore, dismiss and neglect someone enough, they stop complaining because they know it doesn't do any good. Aka learned helplessness.)
It goes back much further than the late 18th century. This is a decent summary, although a bit short on citations for my liking:

https://thecontractsguy.net/2014/02/02/spacing-after-periods...

Literally centuries of typesetters and
printers believed that a wider space was
necessary after a period, particularly
in the English-speaking world. It was
the standard since at least the time
that William Caslon created the first
English typeface in the early 1700s (and
part of a tradition that went back further),
and it was not seriously questioned among
English or American typesetters until the
1920s or so.

Extra space after each sentence was and is a good idea, whether you're talking about handwritten documents or typeset ones. Typewritten documents arguably benefit the least from the practice. Point being, when single-space advocates say that double-spacing is obsolete and unnecessary because we don't use typewriters anymore, they are just plain wrong.
linux-rt is a patchset that changes the behavior of linux to increase the number of places where preemption can occur (among other things).

Doing this decreases certain types of latency in certain situations. As an example, it tries to have interrupts disabled less frequently and for shorter intervals, and uses mutexes instead of spinlocks.

As a result, using linux-rt can provide a lower latency experience compared plain linux.
Or the other way around, someone who dies in a car crash but tests positive could count as a COVID death.
Seriously, conference calls? I thought that sounded cool in 1992 and it turns out I was wrong.
This is not a library. Stop thinking of it as a library. It's a building block, a module.

> why a library like this is even necessary?

Do you know how to determine whether something is a Promise?

Wrong. Also the first few StackOverflow answers are wrong or incomplete.

You know what's better? Using the same library 3.4 million repos depend on, that is tested and won't break if you use a package-lock.

> Can't you just wrap everything and treat it like a promise?

Maybe. Maybe not. Treating everything as a Promise means you have to make your function asynchronous even if not necessary.
I would add that it doesn't have to be a malicious government purposefully undercounting. It's very easy to undercount or misdiagnose even with competent and well meaning people. Specifically every pneumonia death, heart attack, stroke is a potential undercount, and people aren't "bad people" or evil for making the wrong conclusion about the ultimate cause, especially when testing is less available and frequent than it should be. Also I have heard that there are a significant number of people dying of COVID19 in their homes and that those are more likely to be undercounted vs. a death in a hospital.
I'm impressed at how many decent players are in there. Liero controls take a while to get used to, so I opened this thinking it would be a total noobfest. I'm mostly thrown off by the controls being different from what I was used to.
> people who needed it the least

The fee's that banks collected for processing the applications.

Edit to clarify:

The amount of money that banks collected in fees is also a major problem. There are allegations that Banks purposefully shuffled application orders to allow for larger amounts to be processed first, so they would collect more in fees (the fee collected was based on the % of the loan request).
It's not that. I can easily believe a good DNN could today generate better (by any kind of objective standard) music than one created by top composers.

But here is where we discover another component of value that exists in arts: the connection to human mind. Given a piece of music you like that you don't know the provenance of, you'll probably value it different after learning it was composed by a human vs. generated by an algorithm on the spot. It's irrational, but that's how things are with people.

A similar case would be of story generation in games. I don't know about you, but for me, learning that a story or a quest line was procedurally generated essentially destroys my suspension of disbelief on the spot.

When I am designing the solution, I still have the inner voice. But when I'm implementing in code, I can do it almost "brain-lessly", even fine when listening to music.

I'm not sure how do I do that, but I guess because I do it a lot, so I can do it as familiar as walking?

Edit:
Maybe because I didn't learn programming by listening to teacher, instead I learn from books and trials. I guess it's more like walking / playing sport, you don't need explicit inner voice to guide your body movement.

Word is not bad it's just editor. In skilled hands its fine. Actually the biggest typographic problems people make are not really because of Word but because default office paper sizes A4/Letter are too wide for one column. For optimal 60-70 characters per line you either need giant font size or two columns so they put people into quite difficult situation. Why this happened? Typewriters use monospaced fonts that are much wider and we switched to proportional typefaces but paper size stayed.

I think the (not that bad) manual installation process might keep some folks from installing it, but it makes you learn to choose from the very beginning.

After the initial install, update it on your schedule, and install things as you decide they are needed.

Ubuntu is the opposite -- install the world, then go madly trying to disable and remove the phone-home, forced-update, bloat.

My employer was constantly violating labor laws while I worked there.

Protection in my case meant an opportunity to spend months, or even a year, taking a case to my state’s Division of Labor over a few hundred dollars. Fortunately for me, my family had money so I didn’t have to worry about it.

Had I not come from means, reporting a pay dispute like that might’ve cost me my job and possibly my reputation. Labor laws, although well intended, do not do enough to deter businesses from stealing from the poor.

Not sure what you meant by that. Besides 130 years isn't a long time especially when it concerns a period of time when everything gets "democratised" and your possible audience is growing through out the century.

With 7 billion people today even the most obscure artisans find recognition and everyone who read The New Yorker twice in their life is an expert on art and all things cultural.

The works of masters prior to the era of Klimt survived for different reasons.

I argue that if there's a reason these two still get recognition it's because they simply happened to be at the beginning of the current era of modernism as well as growing industry of art dealing business which, thanks to the size of the audience and mass media can now, with good enough marketing, gain recognition to even the most ridiculous of artworks and profit from subsequently selling it to those desperate for signalling taste and virtues.

To sell a master is not a good business, you can't buy them cheap and sell high and they're limited in supply.

Art has been replaced by marketing story telling. So I wouldn't claim 130 years (or rather barely 100) validate the quality of work in the case of Klimt and Schiele.

The most beautiful example of the ridiculousness of the entire modern art business is Frida. In order to sell art expensively and please the need of virtue and taste signalling you first need to gain recognition for the artist among the masses who will provide the admiration to the buyer of art.

And thus you have people who will never afford to buy Frida wearing Frida tattoos and sharing social media posts about her "art" and subsequently people (usually newly rich) paying millions for these works just to buy the brand of "exquisite taste". for themselves

Today it's Frida, decades ago it was Schiele and Klimt and they seem to be the golden goose that keeps giving.

Not really, because the real supply chain in centrally planned economies is black market.

Software is never alive or dead. And python2 can certainly be found in the wild. Just yesterday I tried to use buildroot to build an image for my rock64 board. The build failed because a python2 script was executed by a python 3 interpreter.
One of the super-interesting things here, is that apparently everyone was in the specific window where they test positive for the virus. This implies the population was recently infected, had not been previously infected, and it spread almost completely within a tight window.

This implies a shocking high R(effective) for that population. In 2 weeks we'll have super interesting data one way of the other on the CFR.

I hold a different belief - it is that the liberal faction in our society - while virtuous along some dimensions - has promoted economic and racial policy which has contributed to the worsening of race relations and made life worse for the black and white working class.

The disintegration of black, and then white social organization at the lower class levels can be tracked - I believe if there existed a revival of tacit knowledge, the trades then the society would be more prosperous and less divided than it is now.

Some of us on the left and right see eye to eye on this and the moderates are the ones who are delusional. The middle class concentration on information processing has damaged the society and their faction does not acknowledge negative results from knowledge. This is not anti-intellectual - the residents in HN must respect the note that every major stagnation in history is accompanied by the formalization of education and society. You all know it is true of computer code - beset by legacy issues.

That is why I take projects like Urbit seriously.
Are there any companies out there that might sell supported updates to Python 2 going forward? Seems like a decent business idea considering how much Python 2 is still in the wild.

> I don't think people "let" their kids go wild so much as run out of parenting skills.

There is a difference between not being able to control your child fully, and not even trying. In my experience, most parents are trying, but I have met one or two who did not care, seemingly believing that whatever their kid does is perfectly okay, because hey, it's just a small child... completely ignoring that fact that other kids around, of the same age, are well behaved.

Now, this strategy of making excuses may work well while the child is small. Like, adults will look at a misbehaving 4 years old and only think "what a horrible child... and what a horrible parent" and walk away. But as your child grows up, the environment becomes less forgiving, and it becomes more difficult for you to instill good habits. If the child's behavior irritates you, as a parent, you can bet that it irritates unrelated people at least twice as much. This creates a spiral, when the environment and your child become hostile to each other.

On the other hand, if you succeed to instill pleasant behavior in your child, it can create a positive spiral, when other people enjoy the presence of your child and by their attention reward the nice behavior, and your child has more pleasant life and more opportunities to further improve social skills.
I think Apple's target audience has the money to spare, so to understand, first just compare the machines and forget about the price. People also don't buy Apple as a gaming platform,and Apple buyers don't care much about performance/$ comparatively speaking, so they don't care much about performance, either. You probably care about price and performance and find that hard to grasp, but I land in the camp that (to some degree) does not care about price or performance.

So, setting aside the price and performance, compare the machines setting those aside. Most other machines feel clunky by comparison. I bought an XPS 15 and had audio driver issues. The fans blow out of the bottom, which seems pretty lame for having a laptop, say, on your lap. It has a lame plastic flexy feel compared to a MacBook. A lot of people mention the XPS line as an alternative to the Macs, but I bought one to leave the Mac ecosystem, and it felt so clunky that I still just went ahead and bought another Mac after that.

So, I really think it makes perfect sense if the price and performance don't much concern you.
That's a great and underappreciated point. I'm really fond of my endless tinkering in Emacs, to optimize and automate away all kinds of repetition and tedium. But when I do a honest accounting I realize that, even though my newest tweak that took 30 minutes to make will probably save me a hundred hours in the long run, I'll blow more than a hundred hours over the next month procrastinating on HN because of anxiety about starting tasks. Like I'm doing right now - I was supposed to take an hour off for some personal "me and my thoughts time" an hour ago. But HN is just more immediately gratifying.

It's true for me and I guess for many (most?) programmers: the limiting factor is inadequate capacity to control my own emotional state.

FWIW: "When released theatrically in the United States, the film ran approx. 146 minutes. However, as explained above, three weeks into its release, Kubrick cut the 2 minute coda from the end of the film, reducing its length to 144 minutes. After meeting with poor reviews and erratic box office, Kubrick decided to further edit the film for its theatrical release outside the US. He cut approximately 31 minutes of footage, reducing the length to 113 minutes. The 144 minute 'US version' is often erroneously called the director's cut when in fact director Kubrick regards both the 119 minute version and the 144 minute version as director's cuts."

You're factually wrong.

Judges very much, all the time, deem whether a contract is exploitative or not. Valid contracts are signed between two parties where both are very much aware of what they're doing and fall within non-exploitative bounds.

You're not allowed to contract yourself into slavery no matter how much you want to. Indentured servitude is similarly illegal. You also can't charge someone a billion percent interest on a payday loan.

Now, granted, some people see the absurd levels of modern student debt as something not so far off from indentured servitude. But the point is that the government and judges absolutely draw lines between which contracts are permitted and not, for the express reason of protecting people from being led into terrible mistakes no matter how much they may want to. Kind of the same thinking behind certain drugs being illegal: the government trying to protect people from their worst impulses.

Of course, libertarians (as opposed to liberals and conservatives) think people should be able to contract whatever they want, hence the "liberty" in their name. But pretty much everyone else on the political spectrum thinks it's pretty essential to protect people from the absolute worst irrevocable things.
I wonder what's the process through which false positives happen in this case. Previous infection by milder Coronaviruses?

Edit: I'm looking at the reddit post but I have a lot of reservations with the "prevalence 0.06", unless we'll use the test to test absolutely everybody and not only people who are suspect. Has that calculator been validated as well?

If the test was 12 false positives in 128 negatives, how come they can claim the false positive rate is 60%?
