Their original implementation was in common lisp. Common Lisp also lets you use mmap (in fact it's not that uncommon to do so if you have a large amount of mostly static data) to manage your memory manually.

They clearly wanted automatic memory management, so the C++ implementation is reasonable. A fairer comparison might have used MPS or boehm instead of refcounting, but I suspect the results would have been similar.

I don't think you quite understand what happens to the fatality rate once hospitals become overwhelmed. That 1% IFR will quickly become 3-5% IFR.
Theoretically yes. It was quite annoying back in the days when people used to pocket dial you.

Is there a distro/DE/WM that handles UI scaling gracefully? Every time I try to go back to Ubuntu with my 5K monitor I'm met with the worst UI scaling options imaginable. For example, scaling up the titlebars, but leaving everything else tiny... or scaling options being limited to 1.0 or 2.0. I still want to output to the monitor at 5K, but with the whole UI scaled up. Mac OS and Windows 10 (to a lesser extent) handle this without issue. I would love to move to Linux full time, but this has been a hurdle for me.
If you signed up for gmail or similar early, then dumbasses of the world use your email address as 'their email' dozens of times a day for random internet accounts because it's also their name, and they don't understand or don't care that it isn't their email address.

It gets tiring fast and services don't deal with this usecase that well other than 'forget password'. That guy was the initial asshole to signup using an email address that wasn't theirs.
After using Macs for years I switched to Ubuntu about 3 years ago and am completely used to it now. I don't miss Mac OS at all, except for Adobe software support :(
I have no problem calling out your "obvious example" as completely wrong, to the point you destroy your credibility on anything else you say. A quarter of the hospitals in this country are for profit. More than half are non profits, most of which are religious, and the rest are community or government run. Ask any healthcare professional why they got into the industry and they'll tell you it was to help people. These organizations get their money from philanthropy, expensive elective surgeries, and private insurers. They don't make anything from Medicare, Medicaid, or people who skip out on the bill, yet they still receive the care they need. Can you think of any other industry that's like this? I can't.
Yeah, I have less and less hope in a vaccine. We'll likely be well on the way to herd immunity before one is ready.

For #3, I agree. I'd be interested to see the math on how many under-50's need hospitalization, ventilation, and how severe of an additional effect would that have. It may be that it requires less medical capacity to support a high percentage of the healthy population contracting the virus, than a far lower percentage of the general population (including over-50 crowd) contracting it. Or it may require vastly more capacity. I have no idea.

The other thing to take into account is the effect dragging this out has on developing economies. It seems like this is shutting down international supply chains and food shortages could result. So that's what's got me feeling like more aggressive action should be considered.
The death rate would go up if more people had the virus at once, which is the entire reasoning behind isolating.
Well what I meant by others was unrelated/unknown people, especially politicians deciding about "numbers". Sorry I worded it wrong, I am used to seeing a family as a singular unit. There definitely are people who do not want to try and my goal is not to force treatment on them, but to not allow others (see above) to prevent them from getting that treatment.

Amazon is more than just amazon.com. AWS is a behemoth all on its own. While everything about AWS isn't amazing, it does a lot of things well, which is why they are one of the leaders in that space with a dominate market share of 33%. I don't know if Amazon breaks out profits from AWS in their financial reports or not, but I would venture AWS is probably their biggest cash cow. I bet Amazon.com could bleed money year-after-year and AWS alone would still make Amazon one of the most profitable companies.

Hospitals are even worse. They would periodically call me with random information about appointments or prescriptions and whatnot and would always start off by asking me my birth date and PII to identify myself to them! They're the ones calling me!

I told them as much and after a few years they finally started sending me secure emails asking me to call them. Certainly I wouldn't trust "call back at..." messages claiming to be from a medical provider, even though they're indistinguishable from the real thing because that's the same thing the doctor's office does. It's bizarre considering how security conscious they have to be.

Depends how bad the virus is.
Almost. I think that Amazon cannot hold a monopoly position in all markets because its size would be so big that a smaller competitor could compete.

As a consequence, there will be an optimal size where Amazon is serving many markets, most likely the most profitable ones, thus massively benefiting [ * ], but they leave every other market open.

Depending on the future, this is not necessarily a bad position because low interest rates could seed plenty of startups which means that competitors could operate below break even points.

The question is: will Amazon ever reach that position or will its competitors make sure that all its profitable markets will dry up and its growth will be limited?

[*] Actually, not Amazon is profiting because the value of that dominant position would be priced into Amazon shares in advance. Amazon would just execute its dominant position that its investors had foreseen.

Flu is generally well under 0.1% of those infected on average. If you’re comparing them you want to either include or exclude asymptotic people from both populations. “Symptomatic Illnesses” https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

As to NYC deaths, many people currently infected will die in the future. You can make various estimates to account for this but a reasonable first approximation is to double current deaths based on NYC’s infection curve vs South Korea’s.
How are they off on fatality rates? Also note that the fatality rate is an input to the model, not a prediction of the model.
Yes, the subway is the correct answer. That's how this virus spread like wildfire in NYC. Second reason could be the elevators in the tall buildings (there are plenty of those).
For price-performance, absolute performance and acoustics laptops never made any sense at all. A 3700X annihilates the highest perf part Apple uses and can be cheaply cooled under full load without causing much noise; or without causing any noise for slightly more expense.

You should just treat them as two different email addresses. On some providers this is in fact what they are, and there is no real point in doing otherwise because anybody who wants to create multiple accounts in that way could just create multiple email addresses instead.

I recently (pre-COVID19) sold all my Amazon and replaced it with Apple due to these issues. I feel Apple Pay, and the fast followers, will drive shopping to more platforms than Amazon by reducing friction for customers of independent websites (supported by USPS, UPS, Fedex... which Amazon has decided not to compete with anymore). With the Amazon COVID19 shipping delays, I’ve established many new shopping relationships online, and I hope that is the experience for many others, changing the market. The CEO of Shopify gives great talks about the important of this, so I do support that platform at this point.
You didn't point that out, you made a vague complaint about someones age, and the comment you replied to doesn't even give you a good basis to assume that, so it's no wonder nobody understood what you tried to hint at. Hint: in many companies, a project involves only a small part of the workforce.
No, Debian releases do not "break just as often". If you really couldn't got from release n to n+1 via apt(-get|itude) due to new packages migrating into testing, this would be a release-critical bug, and have to be corrected before the n+1 release were to be marked stable.

There are certain situations where a Debian upgrade will break a specific package - maybe due to upstream messing up really badly, or maybe due to some unusual way of configuring it. But in that case, the release notes that Debian publishes for each release would cover that particular problem for sure. Mistakes happen, and noone's perfect - but Debian tries to be, and they're very near that ideal in terms of ensuring your ability to upgrade your installation.
The SK/Taiwan/Chinese/Singapore approach to quarantine has been to isolate people away from their families if they're thought to be sick (i.e., in a hotel or military barracks). That's how you make quarantine actually work.
This is exactly how Switzerland operates, and it appears to be working rather well for them.

It also helps to think of the United States as more akin to the European Union, rather than any of its individual member states. This is purely conjecture, but an EU that is as centrally powerful as the US would likely be equally disastrous.

There are even plans to increase testing to 4,5 million(!) tests per week in Germany, or ~650k per day. Currently there is unused testing capacity, so it looks like the old restrictive conditions for testing (basically: symptoms and (contact to infected person or stay in high risk area)) are still in place and should be updated ASAP.
Amazon draws a distinction between the data of an individual third-party seller and what it calls aggregated data, which it defines as the data of products with two or more sellers

> Inflation is caused by additional dollars chasing the same number of goods.

But if there's a fall in aggregate demand at a given price level, there are _fewer_ dollars chasing the same number of goods for a period of time. So if government spending is greater than taxation for that given period, it doesn't necessarily cause inflation.

> the bank exchanges an asset (like a treasury) in exchange for reserves (base money)

The "monetary base" increases because of the way they define the monetary base. In the old days, the money in reserve accounts was convertible into gold, and the money in the Treasury bond accounts wasn't, so they count the money in the reserve accounts as part of the "monetary base" but not the money in the Treasury bond accounts.

> If you run a business or something (I don't) where you have first hand knowledge, I would expect you would immediately know numbers.

Even if I do run a business(which I have). Insurance companies do not itemize the premiums paid by which external factors affect the amount. A person cannot quantify the factors that affect this. Literally anything in the world can happen. The actuaries calculate what they can based on past and future costs to the best of their ability.

It is hard to quantify at the macro level, so here are some micro examples:
https://www.thoughtco.com/big-companies-sued-for-racial-disc...

Each one of those companies either paid up front or through insurance. When the insurance company is forced to pay out on your behalf, your premiums will likely go up. There are actions that can be taken to mitigate this. Some companies choose to have discrimination awareness campaigns as an example. This helps in two ways. It shows the insurance company that you are less of a risk, therefore your cost goes down. It also gives you evidence in court for your next suit to persuade a jury that you are not discriminating. These campaigns cost money.

You may say, "well, they would not have incurred the cost if they did not discriminate". However, lawsuits can be filed where no discrimination existed. They still cost companies "incredible" amounts of money. Either way, before the CRA, a person could not file a lawsuit based on discrimination and now they can. So costs necessarily have to increase. Even if discrimination was non existent, lawsuits would still be filed, because their is a lot of money to be made.

A counter argument is that the same didn't happen (or hasn't happened yet) in cities that also have massive public transportation systems like Tokyo or Seoul.

This is a real problem on the 15" 2018 MacBook Pro.

Quick summary of my experience: It turned out TB3 chip is on the left side by the power plug and was warming up too much by having both power and accessories flowing thru it for the internal fans to be able to cool off, and the OS was spinning up phantom kernel_task cycles to attempt to slow and cool down the computer.

In my case case I was waiting for an 87W TB3 docking station to come along, and was in the meantime running 2 external monitors off the left side using Apple's dongles.

This looks like the post that saved my sanity. Apple has a pretty serious design flaw in its MacBooks.
