But if someone is already in ICU doesn't it imply they have been on bed for a while and not able to generate vitamin D?
I understand the analogy, but this one is bad.

Microcomputers came about because, at some point, we could make small computers with just enough processing power that they could be useful.

Mainframes didn't really go anywhere - they are still doing heavy lifting in large corporations, and modern mainframes employ every trick we use to make x86's fast and then a couple that would make x86's prohibitively expensive.

not sure too many people caught your satire.
Honestly, that sounds like the devops team didn't communicate well with the business when they pitched them microservices. The business can't reasonably know that moving to microservices entails a change in infrastructure and tooling--you have to build that into your high level estimates.
Complaints of media manipulation and conspiracy are also a longstanding, standard element of the fringe's message. When your message is strong and supportable, you want a camera and microphone pointed at you. When your message doesn't make any sense, then media attention is always painted as mean and biased.

"Freedom"

Every protest in the USA, no matter where it sits on the moral or political spectrums, tries to hitch its wagon to "Freedom" in some way. It's become a word you just paint on a sign when you can't think of something to actually be complaining about.
Segment's business in particular has them integrating with dozens of unique endpoints. There's an inherent desire for code-reuse in a system like that, along with customization required per endpoint.
I spend more than $2/hr on my prop maintenance and over $1/hr on tires (and that’s for several hours average per flight). I’m skeptical that electric propulsion will revolutionize basic aviation training or reduce the costs to make it a commonplace activity as it appears to have been in the heyday of the 60s and 70s, which was well before my time.
Awesome list. I've been playing with Fiona for a few years, but I'll need to take a look at some of these other modules like Shapely.
No doubt they're preferentially laying off the under performers.
Intelligent audio communication is often more concise than its equal sum of text. Spoken poetry like rap is a vector for expression that can convey cultural plights and experiences in a few words or sentences. Ideas are compressed through memetics and words can share dimensions across the scope of the song as well as the (+/-) zeitgeist.
UPnP can be used to setup port forwarding if the NAT gateway is configured correctly.
IIRC, before Juul teenage smoking was trending down. Now it's going up.
I'll have to get checked next time I'm at the doc. I'm pretty far south, so sunlight isn't normally an issue. I also enjoy a glass of milk every night for 'dessert'. It is fortified with some vitamin D, but I'm not sure how much. My bigger concern is probably skin cancer over lack of vitamin D though.
Pakistan to plant 10B trees with Covid-19 unemployed
Because they should be compared with the neighbouring Nordic countries.

Norway 38 deaths/M
Finland 37 deaths/M
Denmark 76 deaths/M
Sweden 244 deaths/M

It’s an order of magnitude more deaths per million than Norway or Finland.
The next paragraph is even more interesting:

> A colleague of mine and I have introduced vitamin D at doses that have achieved greater than 100 nmol/L in most of our patients for the past number of years, and we now see very few patients in our clinics with the flu or influenzalike illness. In those patients who do have influenza, we have treated them with the vitamin D hammer, as coined by my colleague. This is a 1-time 50 000 IU dose of vitamin D3 or 10 000 IU 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days. The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic.8 We urgently need a study of this intervention. The cost of vitamin D is about a penny for 1000 IU, so this treatment costs less than a dollar.

Wow. Why isn't this more prominent on the covid radar?
Advertising seems to be hit - there are quite a few articles around e.g. YouTube paying substantially less to creators.
Using rents and imputed rents and not home values is the correct way to include housing prices. When you buy a house you are not only paying for a place to live, you are also speculating on a financial asset. The CPI doesn't measure investment prices (eg. it doesn't include stock values) so to isolate the true cost of housing as a separate metric from the speculative value of the investment, it looks at imputed rent instead.
Whether Sweden is doing well or badly is a big question for the overall debate about how to handle the virus. While I aim my discussion to always be calm, cool and collected as a general rule, who ever claims approach X for dealing with a deadly pandemic is good has to claim some other approach is bad and I don't see how that can avoid being a strong statement if not "sensationalist". Inded, if Sweden had just an average death rate without a lockdown, their approach would be a win, would be preferable. But they don't have an average death rate, they have a much higher rate than comparable countries and their deaths basically continue exponential growth whereas things in Norway seem relatively under control.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-deaths-per-mi...

-- Fair warning, Italy's death are higher still, of course but Italy isn't really comparable. Even more, Sweden's in the exponential phase and so we don't know how they will go - they providing a laboratory for the world but I don't think human beings should be volunteered for such experiments.

This seems so arbitrary. Construction noise that you can hear and feel from home will be twice as maddening if you are stuck there.

I can imagine it because I do. I always keep an eye on cars as I'm walking in their path. It's not hard. I don't stop unless they aren't slowing down, and I'm always ready to move in a different direction and/or a different speed.

I'm not saying everyone can do that, and I think we agree that people shouldn't have to do that. Situational awareness, constantly coming up with alternative plans, and always making sure an "out" is available has kept me alive in dangerous situations. Anyway, that's how I live. People are wired diferently.
The community solved this generations ago with one phrase: "Talk is cheap. Show me the code."

I guess now that we know it's more than just the program, the startup adage equivalent is "Talk is cheap. Show me the product."

This is mostly the US because the externalities aren't taxed. In EU the taxes on gas are much higher. With VAT and everything Sweden currently has $4.5 per gallon, down from $5.8 last autumn, this makes any electric car much more compelling.

This is in the Tom Scott video, but in the case of this intersection there is a combination of conservation area limitations, light-pollution concerns, and a complete lack of electricity.
Because everyone likes to have opinions on things, and is encouraged by society to judge, review, critique and opine about every experience.

I’m so fed up of this growth of shaming everyone who isn’t an expert for speaking “out of turn”.

It has the “you should only do things that benefit me” entitlement of the recent demands on open source developers, along with the “know your place” implicit putdown, and the lameness of people who critic recipe authors for blogging about their lives instead of just giving me the recipe because I’m so important. It’s a terrible trend and if all I can do is ineffectually downvote you once, I will.

I fully expect you to reply that your investment in getting free money from Tesla employees is more important than Musk’s freedom of speech and right to be an individual and I preemptively disagree. If you can’t take his BS, don’t read it.
I didn't want to make a site centered around shaming / punishment / anger.

I think it's a valid thing to make that data public though.

Lmk if you build the site.
> Will Elon stop with tweets that hurt Tesla? Appoint a CEO, or COO to run things

People have been saying that for years and years. It's beyond stale. Meanwhile Tesla and SpaceX have continued to succeed beyond expectations for over a decade now. If there's occasional twitter volatility in-between simultaneously landing two rockets returning from space... so be it.

Besides, if it bothers you that much, you don't have to buy their cars or invest or even pay attention to it. The constant handwringing, mind reading and speech policing is ridiculous. That's how we end up with nothing but layers upon layers of focus tested marketing speak and people afraid to challenge orthodoxy.
I hope Google eats Zoom alive by just throwing resources and whatever cloud service power at this. Video chat should only always have been browser based website/web app and never involved installers and stuff.

I would argue that they are not perfectly healthy. Non-severe Vitamin D deficiency has no acute effects, but lifetime risk for developing severe illness does go up.
What would make it feel less like that?

I was at first making it a lifetime-oriented ranking, but that felt like "shame these specific people!"

I think there's a middle-ground between celebration and shame that I'm trying to hit.

>And yet, they do because it's morally right to keep people safe from disinformation.

This is literally why we have the first amendment. Because, as you say, information is relative; that also means it is relative in time. And we can only come to a correct consensus if we allow all voices to be heard.

This is an excellent example of a time not to suppress dissidents. The doctors on the front line are just as likely, if not moreso, to come up with potential treatments or policies, because this is happening in real time and the information arbitrage lends extra credibility to the doctor's words. Do you see how subjective this decision of censorship is? And any subjective decision is subject to bias, political or otherwise.

>There's nothing for Google to gain by suppressing these guys.

It's no secret Google leans left. It's no secret that protestors of the lockdown lean right. You don't see a conflict of interest here?

What if the WHO and CDC are in conflict? Who decides then? YouTube? What about platforms that are partly owned by China? Conflict of interest?

What about elections? You think it's OK for a platform like Google or YouTube to pull ads that fail "fact checks"? What about viral posts? You don't think it'll be a partisan shitshow?

If not then we have no reason to continue this discussion because we will not agree.

I like the idea of a site like this reaching a group consensus. But I also don’t like how dissenting views aren’t even considered. I wish I could come up with a solution.
A price increase of 20-30% may not effect how you use taxis, but it will effect how lots of other people use taxis, and because loads less people will use taxis at 20% more they won't need to charge 20% more, they'll need to charge 20% + their decrease in utilization. Suddenly you're in a death spiral where they can't charge enough to make a living at any price.
An alternative might be to jailbreak a Kindle 2 or 3, looks like you just need a computer and a USB cable to do so.

https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Hacks_Information

The original OS runs, so what you can do is limited. There are examples of changing the “screensaver” from Python, but I couldn’t see how easy it is to get data into the Kindle (maybe needs USB, which would make it kind of pointless.)
From what I've seen lately, the JUUL crowd has moved to disposables, one brand called PUFF.
Normally, and apparently in this case, yes. It is possible for a stock to go up on earnings that don't beat expectations though, due to other concurrent factors, like unexpected positive news regarding future prospects, or even an unrelated broad market movement.
But isn't that the point? They accepted more deaths up front, but over the long-run those countries should average out about the same per capita, while Sweden avoided immediate negative social/economic impacts.
I think that's an American sign. The context of the article is the UK. We don't that exact sign in the UK. I think there is a 'stop in 100 yards' sign but I can't recall ever seeing one. But the point was people aren't paying attention to the signs... so another sign doesn't solve that.
> Under standard terms, can they sell their options

Under standard terms, options can't be sold, ever. Shares that were purchased from options that were early-exercised and have not vested can be forcibly repurchased at the company's choice (not employee's choice) upon termination. Shares that were purchased from options that had already vested can only be sold if there's a secondary market at that moment, but presumably Juul is not laying off a thousand employees at the same time as it's raising external money, so no.
Why don't they just add a traffic light?
Re security: we do have e2e encryption; if you have a moment, take a look at our security brief under our FAQ https://pragli.com/blog/faq/ and let me know what you feel we should add / how we should display it.

Re Discord: I'm a gamer so I understand why you like it. Where I feel Discord is lacking in the workplace is that it only shows if you're playing a game, and it doesn't build any more sense of availability beyond that. It doesn't have the same auto-status / Spotify / manual status that we built into Pragli. It does for games (shows if I'm playing some game) but not for work.
The economic collapse also brings death. The 2009 recession saw a huge spike in suicides, and this does not account for the deaths of the poorer parts of the world whose citizens are one paycheck away from starvation.

The death rate is actually far lower than we initially thought, we can see this from all the antibody tests coming out. 1/5 of NYC is now estimated to have already contacted the disease.
Well, no. The lambda calculus isn't imperative.

That's on macOS, but we're talking about iPadOS here.
All right, describe your behaviour under these (very common, in San Francisco) circumstances:

A Tesla is stopped at a red light just before a pedestrian crossing. The Tesla can go from 0-30 mph before you can cross its width at walking pace. The walk light is on. You have the right-of-way.

"the potential for harm reduction for adult smokers while combating underage use."

<<insert photo of all the yummy flavors available>>

If their mandate was really harm reduction they could do that with a "plain" flavor; that's how we stop the kids in my house from eating all the yogurt.
That surprised me.

Stop signs are so rare in the UK -- I can only think of one in the area I grew up -- that they're taken seriously. Or at least, I thought they were.

"Until 2016, each stop sign had to be individually approved by the Secretary of State for Transport.", though that requirement has been removed.
The other problem is chargers.

Before COVID-19 you were buying an EV knowing that there was a roadmap of chargers being rolled out. Now I would be wondering (a) are new ones going to be deployed at all and (b) are existing ones going to be maintained.

Everything non-essential is going to be deprioritised over the coming years.
Here's an interesting question.

CEO's, will seeing Juul on a resume preclude you from hiring that person, even if they are a technical fit?
the benefits of sunlight outweigh the risks. Avoid burning, but know that tanning is not correlated with melanoma (assuming you have skin that tans; otherwise, ignore this).
Improved Next.js and Gatsby page load performance with granular chunking
So the issue I'm referring to is this, which has been open since 2017 https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/2353

There's a slew of workarounds offered in that github issue, most people (including another team in my org) opted to just rebuild the app every time a docker container is created which kind of defeats one of the major pros of using docker IMO.

I ultimately ended up forking off this repository and customizing it to my needs https://github.com/beam-australia/react-env

that solution in itself is very hacky.

as far as I know, vue doesn't have this feature either but I think next.js and nuxt.js does.

Sunlight exposure is also bad for you; taking it orally is the way to go for most people.

As pointed out upthread, most supplements are hilariously low-dose. I take 20k IU, 3 times per week. (most supplements are like 1000IU per pill, but 3000IU pills can be found)
I don't really want/need to use a new horizontal tab paradigm that supports thousands of tabs. I just want a really good implementation of the standard top-of-the-window tab bar.
Sounds like we had a similar respiratory disease. I also flew through SFO, like many millions of others, in December. I fell ill over the holidays, and then again in January. I also rarely fall ill, and hadn't had a cold or even severe allergies for several years.

My primary symptom was respiratory, I could go up a single flight of stairs and feel short of breath, like someone was standing on my throat and lungs.

I saw my doctor a few times about it, but neither my partner, nor my family, nor my co-workers fell ill. The phylogeny that I've seen published about SARS-CoV-2 definitively rules out that I had it. Likewise, if I did I'd expect that based on how virulent covid-19 is, I'd expect someone else I know or one of my grandparents to have caught it.

I've seen similar reports of a respiratory illness on Twitter and I think it comes down to a uniquely bad flu season and perhaps some other bug going around which hits the respiratory system.
You're getting downvoted, but I agree — I have at least stopped eating out as much as I had before.
2002? c'mon. What, are we trying to show this old site is still running/historical artifact maybe? meh
Perhaps. Hopefully! It's too early to know the final counts, though, which is why there is still scope for controversy.
Agree - appreciate the clarity of the answer.
It makes sense to me that their business specifically would be impacted here by corona. With Juul use being impacted with the lack of social outings/nightlife eliminating many social use cases. Anecdotally, most consumption I've seen has been within contexts which have since been restricted.

As well, given people's concerns about keeping their lungs healthy, I imagine 'discretionary' consumption of vapes would be down as well.

PSA: The darker your skin is, the more Vitamin D you need, either from sunlight or food/supplements.

Pale skin is an evolutionary adaptation to harvest more sunlight to convert to Vitamin D, from when humanity expanded to less sunny areas from Africa.

I'm a little shocked that doctors don't seem to tell black people this. My "survey" is probably only 5 people, but still, people need to know.
There's no street lighting on this road. You can't use speed bumps in unlit areas (because drivers won't see them at night until it's too late to avoid vehicle damage).
Your initial confusion was understandable.

You said you didn't see how pensions and unions were related. Someone explained to you that most people with pensions in the US are union members.

You then said most professionals have a pension but not many are in a union. At that point you revealed the source of your confusion: you don't understand the meaning of the word pension in this context. So somebody else helpfully told you, "When talking about pensions in the USA, people are usually referring to retirement plans where the employer says something roughly like "when you retire, we will pay 80% of your salary". or "when you retire, we will pay you X/month". The responsibility is on the employer to ensure that money is around when you retire."

That should have been it. That should have cleared up your confusion by clarifying exactly which definition of pension was being used. You then insisted that a 401k was a pension after being told explicitly that wasn't the type of pension being discussed. What was your point there?

Edit: I thought you weren't going to respond? Don't go away mad...
