Agreed -- trust has to be earned, but definitely hasn't been. Quite the opposite. I thought it was very unfortunate that the Australian Nurses' Association was asked to provide their endorsement of the government BS spin at the launch of the app. Wasn't surprised that the AMA did though. The promotional video is hilarious -- indistinguishable from an episode of "Utopia" -- LOL.
I am disappointed, Does anybody can act to not waste all this food in this time?
I guess the same must apply to a soccer player, except instead the mental model is about the trajectory of the ball.

What are you talking about? if you're async operation fails then your callback should always still be called but just with an error message in the second parameter typically. And what are you doing still giving call backs to async functions? Why are you not using promises?
this segment is not the worst, but the full version of inner life of the cell is terrible. Because they cheated, by reversing highly symmetrical processes, for example:

The artistic director has a ted talk where he talks about how beautiful biological processes are, and it's like no, man, you made it look that way.

If you want a really fantastic video that captures just how messy and random it is I recommend the wehi videos, like the one on apoptosis, where the proteins look way more derpy than the secret life of the cell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR80Huxp4y8 There's a couple of places where they have a hexameric protein where things magically snap into place, but I give them a pass because the kinetics on that are atrociously slow. Let's just say for the sake of a short video the cameraman happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Even decentralized, there always will be a central authority in the system that you will have to trust to not misbehave in the future.

The other issue is that contact tracing (decentralized or not) is exploitable. In Korea, people sometime figured out who is infected or not, and those people are now socially bashed on the internet.

There are many scenarios where contact tracing can be abused : for example, anyone from outside your house can now know if there is someone inside. Handy for thieves.

French academics did set up a nice website with a list of those scenarios, but it's only available in French : https://risques-tracage.fr/

The actual debate is not decentralized/centralized, it's "should we allow contact tracing or ban it?"
Is it really though? Node is infamous for attracting large groups of people with notoriously misguided engineering practices whose egos far surpass their experience and knowledge.

Thanks for the info. I probably don't have the hardware setup to run VMs at the moment (chronically low on RAM + do not have a GPU). I will be very interested to play with this when that changes in the future.

The one question (if you notice this) I do have is: how quickly does the memory leak happen? And can just running glxgears do it?
// Or is the ad informing him he can buy access to a spirit that will accompany him on his self selected journey and help his own desires and achieve his goals?

That's a false narrative.

We know brand advertising is generally psychologically bad for people. There's no psychologist who will recommend you "watch more ads".Almost nobody watches most ads out of their free choice.

But the amazing parts are the stories and storytelling. You get to see both sides of every argument, and if you care to go through it again making different choices you'll experience the same stories but with a meaningfully different connotations.

TL;dr: If you've got 30-40h go crawling around Dishonored's universe a couple times. (Go Arkane studios!)

It's hard to survive in a healthy way for most of the world without eating animals unfortunately. Animals die in nature all the time, in much worse ways than the clean deaths they would get in a meat processing plant. Death is part of the cycle of life, and it seems we are forgetting that since we've become so far separated from nature these days.

The requirements should be seperated into "minimum in-out workflow or MVP", then slowly add features which are a balance between high priority and easy to implement (With a clear way of saying "No" to impracticle requirements). This is generally the "Agile" approach. However at some point its always better to have a complete architechture diagram and work from there.

Of course choosing between a monolithic approach or modular approach (or microservices) is also very important at the beginning of the project.

What do you mean? That statement is manifestly true. IF any single case leads to <1 additional case, then the numbers will decline. That's math. One person being able to infect an entire office just means it will be harder to get to that point.
I think a common barrier is that people don't give themselves a chance to get into new things because they subconsciously pidgeonhole themselves as not elegible. Expose yourself to lots of novel things. Try not to think too much about your expectations of yourself or your identity, and focus on what grabs your interest. Don't concern yourself about whether a potential hobby fits within your established self image or popular perception of your profession.

When i was 15 i told myself it was too late to start learning to play an instrument despite my lifelong interest in composing music. I was used to excelling in other areas, and i now realize the prospect of both being behind and learning more slowly than my peers who started as children was a taken as a threat to my identity by my teenage brain. Now im over 30 and finally started seriously learning music theory, and it's been a deeply fulfilling and mind expanding experience. I wish i had given myself a chance half a lifetime ago.
Didn't mean to come off as ageist, sorry. I suppose non-Millennials can love crypto too ;)

> Nike (née Kay) used to be the Greek goddess of victory. Nike the shoe brand is the updated copywritten form of that spirit that has been a part of humanity since forever. It’s not brand related despite the commercial rules, but the spirits are real.

This is ridiculous. The name of the shoe is the brand name, the name used to market the shoe! It is used in advertising! Any company can name themselves after some Greek goddess, regardless of the quality of their product. The name of a shoe has no impact on its utility/meaning to consumers, unless that name has been associated with flowery, false emotions instilled in them by ads. No one intrinsically feels uplifted by the mention of some Greek goddess that likely very few people would have heard of if not for Nike's decision to name themselves after her. The spirits are not real; survey a group of random people and ask them what Nike's namesake is; most will not know. Ask them if they like Nike shoes; they likely will. But hey, maybe Greek mythology enthusiasts do buy Nikes because the name gives them pleasure or confidence. But in comparison to Nike's ad budget and mindshare, this is minuscule.
Word of mouth is a second order effect of advertising. Subscribed newsletters are advertising. Random recommendation algorithms on steam are advertising.

Democracy is NOT perfect. But, it is a great solution. Even if sometimes you need to follow a law that you do not fully agree with. And, if it does not work you are free to express your side of the story, go to the justice system if the laws are unconstitutional, and also vote differently next time. That's a very good system.
I think the other answers have been good at explaining HOW stock prices are determined at the exchange, but if you're wondering WHY someone would say "That stock is worth $xx.xx", then that's a more complicated question, with equally complicate answers.

At the very lowest level, it could be gut feelings from a potential buyer. They see electric cars more frequently, combustion engines going out of fashion, and simply wonder "Hey, why does that [electric car company] trade so low, when they'll probably be market leaders in 5/10/15 years?", or conversely, "Hey, why does that [petroleum] company trade so high, oil prices are shot, and the industry will lose relevance in 10/20/30 years"

On a higher level, some potential buyer will look at the companies financial statements, and figure out if the share price is too high / low for how the company is performing, from a financial standpoint. This is called "fundamental analysis", and you can easily find step-by-step analysis reports of such on various companies.

But the market is one big hodgepodge of beliefs, with probably thousands of different rationales behind their prices, and motives for sales / purchases.

- Infection fatality rate -- this looks to be 1/5th or lower than what we thought getting into this.

- Infection hospitalization rate -- similar.

- Probability of getting a vaccine in a moderately quick timeframe -- I'd call this one 50/50. Hard to bet on.

- How long it takes case counts to decay to a point where a contact tracing regime works -- This really depends. It looks like to me that in the US jurisdictions with the best controls, Rt =~ 0.6. This will take a -long- time to decay to the 1 case per million threshold where contact tracing, etc works; 6 months or more. Some models put the decay much quicker, at like a month from now, but I cannot understand why.

- Efficacy of a herd immunity strategy / serology information from various jurisdictions -- looking hopeful, but imperfect information. Sweden is getting there...

- Critical care utilization. In the SF Bay Area, we're below seasonal norms and COVID-19 cases in ICU have been (very slowly) decaying for the past 3 weeks.

- Seasonal effects. We don't really know, but it looks like there is probably a small seasonal swing to Rt. Seasonal effects justify more dramatic action either direction (containment or relaxation). Containment efforts will be made more effective during summer, but it's also an ideal time to experiment with loosening controls while seasonal factors are on our side.

Apple did not make the decision here, the German government did. The government would have been free to try to force Apple's hand with sanctions or any other tool available to them.

Time will tell but I feel like reducing this to the technical decision of Apple is slightly one sided. The PEPP-PT proposal was a pseudonymous, centralized, social graph of all users in the app with a rather opaque power structure behind it. The government got pushback from many sides on this issue and several EU neighbours publicly endorsed the decentralized DP3T.

This is a complementary tool for an epidemiological use case that heavily depends on public adoption, while PEPP-PT tried to push this narrative of "Apple vs France/Germany" over the last week through lobbying I do not think it's an accurate/comprehensive depiction of the decision making process in a democratic government.
Your problem is big asking people at big companies. Most people who do psychedelics wouldn't like to work for a big company. Also in my experience as a contractor inside many companies people who work for a long time at the same big company are unlikely to have tried anything except alcohol.

In terms of the Big 5 personality traits:

High openness -> open to new experiences -> try psychs.
High openness -> need for creative expression -> small company.

Low openness -> closed to new experiences -> don't try psychs.

Low openness -> closed to new experiences -> stay in same big company

You don't need some personality model to get that though. Just to have met enough people.
My understanding is that "less efficient" here mean that flat wings have, specifically, less desirable stall behavior. Flat wings will stall more easily than an appropriate shaped "teardrop" wing.

A "stall" happens when the wing is no longer directing air downwards (and thus not providing lift), and is instead just chopping up in the air into turbulent chaos without any consistent direction.
That's funny.
I immediately noticed in me "what?! It clearly isn't!".
Not sure why I have a strong opinion on that, but I find it enlightening in this context.

The problem is that the old copy is still floating around and by replacing it instead of retracting it, it’s not clear which papers are referencing the bullshit one and which ones are referencing the real results.

Not retracting hid the turd from bibliometric tools that could have easily notifies you of poisoned papers.
Also, you raised a point that is very relevant - you couldn't understand pointers when you were 15, but now you do.

There is some level of cognitive maturity required to understand new ideas. I understood pointers somewhat from school, but it really made sense to me once I learned about computer architecture in more detail.

Sometimes you need to see the whole picture to understand why an element is present there and usually that happens only if you stay long enough with a problem/concept.

Yeah, but with holes. Eg affecting Bugzilla. Only closed 2018 in cperl (hash keys). perl5 never cared to close its taint holes.
This is very true, and yet the British government message about coronavirus is "stay home" rather than "stay at home". It sounds rather odd to me. I wonder if they chose it to sound a bit more casual and relatable, or just to match what people were already likely to be hearing elsewhere online.
That's implied by "Also".

Other interpretations of the GP would imply the GP thought 267,000 / 5,000 is about 1.5. I'm pretty sure the GP isn't making that mistake.
Sort of trying to piggy-back on this thread in hopes someone with knowledge will be able to share it.

I've been having conversations about viruses recently and in those conversations / thought experiments I keep coming back to a point someone made to me.

Someone this person knows, with extensive medical expertise, explained that the "membrane" of the cell contains a ridiculously large number of unique types of proteins.

Understanding, in vague terms, how viruses penetrate cells the question I pose is "is this true because each of those proteins has a unique and distinct function in the cell membrane? Or is it more a matter of scale and utility?" In other words, does the observation simply indicate that our bodies are not as perfect as we'd like to think they are and the body's process for creating / repairing cells is more a utilitarian function where the "rules" of cell construction are extremely flexible such that these molecules are constructed in various ways where our cells are using materials available to them at the time?

If this is the case it starts to make a lot of sense to me at a molecular level why certain people tend to be more susceptible to contracting certain diseases. Could a lot of it really just come down to diet, along with probably a hint (or more) of DNA's interaction with those proteins we're providing to our bodies? And to what extent does each of those play a role? DNA and the proteins.
Then every mention of anything is advertising, differing only in degree of intrusion.

But no, word of mouth being like if I found something on my own and mention it on Reddit or HN etc., then it's not advertisement in the commonly agreed-upon sense of the word.
1 is addressed by pretty much epidemiological and technical paper on the matter, nobody thinks digital contact tracing is a silver bullet.

2 This is not "reliance on US tech for internal policy security", this is using a tool that significant parts of the population have in their pocket to fulfill a complementary task in pandemic management. G&A make it easier to use it for managing the currently ongoing pandemic. "Who decides when covid19 crisis is over?" is pretty straight-forward in Germany, the government with their health ministry and external agencies and in coordination with the EU. G&A provide tools to switch this off on a regional basis. This is far from a "Huawei moment" because the tech side of it is pretty much a side note to history in terms of overall relevance.

The ML based guessing of people's genders sounds extremely tactless. You'd think given the demographics of their userbase Twitter would've known better.
No it doesn't. You know that the result of the computation for an individual qubit will be either 0 or 1 (otherwise it would be useless -- measuring only gives you one bit of information), so you construct the system such that after the computation is done each qubit will be aligned with the |+z> or whatever axis. The key point is that you have to be clever about how you construct the system for a given QC algorithm, not that you cannot do arbitrary computations using the system.
>> makes you immune

Of course not. Nobody has any such evidence. "Immune" is an absolute term. Even a vaccine doesn't make one "immune" to a disease. So the WHO is absolutely correct in saying that. But if this disease is like the vast majority of similar infections, have had it once likely reduces one's chances of getting it a second time. Of all the viruses that cause disease, only a very few are regularly caught repeatedly.
