>"The problem" is always the victim...never the people doing the victimization.

You are not being victimized. Your post was downvoted. It is not a big deal. Nothing bad happened to you here today.

>if they don't "contribute to the discussion" in the way they want then they are invalidated.

It is a community norm to downvote posts that do not contribute to the discussion. I like that norm. It's one of the reasons I choose to post here. If you don't like that rule, there may be other discussion boards more suited to you.

>If I laid out details...which I have done many times...those details would be ignored, picked apart, invalidated, twisted...and nothing good happens.

If you choose to assume, before you post anything, that you cannot expect the people here to be reasonable, then there is no reason to post here at all. Why would you expect people to believe you when you give no information, given that you do not expect them to believe you if you do give the information?

Nobody can do anything for you if you won't let them.
Oh, so you're talking about the speed the adapter tells you. In my experience those speeds are about 2x what you'd get in reality over a TCP connection (using something like iperf3).

If you have time, could you run iperf3 (brew/apt install iperf3) between two computers separated by the powerline devices?
For those who don't have the numbers handy, US GDP is about $20T.

If it were even spread out through the year (it is not), a 5% hit in Q2 would be $250 billion in that quarter.
I would be interested in seeing such model as well

Some things to consider is also the type of deaths. Now I haven't calculated myself which decision is the correct one here, but just throwing out some factors that might (or might not) be favourable towards the decision to open markets sooner.

If most people who die are elderly and they would die in few years anyway are these deaths comparable to younger people who commit suicides or die from poverty due to recession - who otherwise might be productive members of society for the following 30 years?

If 75%+ of people who die are non-working elderly and maybe 80-90% of those would have died in the following 0-8 years would that mean 0-8 years of saved resources/care/medicine costs meaning economy would be better off and in the following 0-8 years we can expect proportionally fewer deaths?

Probably more factors here, but I would like to go to the next point now...

The steps on how to decide should be:

1. Predict deaths (and what kind of deaths) for each following week/month due to economic recession, plus any other damages. Lost technological advancements etc which can indirectly also mean more deaths. Consider all the things that can indirectly cause deaths.
There's also decrease in some type of deaths like traffic accidents during quarantine. Should we consider these?

I tried to Google for how many deaths 2008 caused - first thing I found was 260,000 extra cancer deaths, but I have no idea about validity: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/economic-do...
This is 2.5x more than current deaths from coronavirus and probably within more productive demographic. Just citing that to suggest there's some possibility that recession could cause more deaths.

2. Consider the pace on how fast can hospitals increase their capability to handle steeper curve.

3. Predict how fast Corona would spread after opening. How would hospitals fare? Would this mean more deaths overall from Corona or same amount as if we had keeping a flatter curve. I think the only real way to know this is to start touching the waters, so in this case it seems like reasonable to try with few places first and get measurements from there to see if it's worth it.
That was/is the precise reason given, so it's hard to imagine this going on much longer given that hospitals are doing fine. I think another month is going to lead to chaos and many people rebelling.
That's pretty neat although knowing my kids I'm not sure social distancing be very effective considering all the possible chances to violate it, common surfaces, just kids low compliance rate with instructions.

Desperation?

People dont do bad things because they want to be bad or lazy. Thats Nixon era properganda used marginalise the anti-war hippies in favour of the Military Industrial Complex.

Conversatives will trumpet this till the cows come home while simultatiously gouging the govenrment with there large businiess for subsidies, discounts, monopolistic laws, on everything they do.

You could pay entire swaths of your population unemployment, or you could subsidies the creation of a new oil processing facility and let that company then employ the population. When you subsidise big buisness, that money goes straight into family trusts. When you subsidise people directly, that money goes straight back into the community.

As soon as u pay people a basic income, they have the chance todo what they want in life. People dont want to steal. They only start doing that once they are disenfrancised and already marginalised.
If we try to be charitable, Ioannidis was too confident in his research team who made mistakes; for example:

> The authors said by email that they used a built-in Stata function and aren't sure themselves how the software used the input weights. I suspect they misapplied that function (too complicated to tweet why) but I don't know Stata well enough to be sure; it seems neither do they.

https://twitter.com/wfithian/status/1252692357788479488

Then, Ioannidis probably didn't double check the work in depth because of confirmation bias and over-confidence in his protégés.
If reddit wouldn't have moved away from Lisp, maybe you wouldn't have had to scramble to fix it. HN (as an example of a site that didn't move away from Lisp) fixes are always fairly quick, and the site has rarely had downtime.
It also makes types much easier to analyze (whether using, say, VSCode's inference or Typescript) when using hooks. With HOCs, types tended to get lost through the arbitrary amount of <Wrapped {...props} /> chains.
The NYC studies actually look halfway decent. The big problem with serological tests is that even good ones may have, say, a 2% false positive rate. So if you test a population where nobody is infected, the test will say that 2% have been infected.

To get good numbers, you need a population where lots of people have been infected. That will allow true positives to swamp the false positives, which is what happened in the NYC study that claimed 21% of people had already been infected. Even if it's really only 19%, that doesn't change much.

You also need a good random sampling procedure. IIRC, the NYC study tested people shopping for essentials at mid-day. This underrepresents essential workers, people who are really good at self-isolation, and people who are currently sick. But still, it's not too bad.

The New York City numbers suggest that very roughly 1% of people infected with the virus will die, depending on how you count probable but unconfirmed COVID deaths reported by NYC. This could be off by a factor of two in either direction, depending on how good the random sampling was, and the characteristics of a given population.

Have you had good return experiences with NewEgg?

I recently ordered a $100 drawer shelf for a 12U rolling AV cart. The shelf was deeper than described so it jutted past the back of the rack. I sought a return. For which NewEgg charged $70 in return freight and a $15 restocking fee. Meaning I lost $85 and a few hours of time because NewEgg wouldn’t stand by the specs on their site.

To add insult to injury, the first step of their return policy is a YouTube video. As if part returns are so complicated. Amazon blows. But not like this.

I’m just one data point. Maybe an exception. I will never do business with NE again (but I still love how they fight patent trolls)

Yes, ultimately, the issue of technical standard is still untested in court and remains a problem, it will take a prominent lawsuit before it's resolved.

> But what aspect of the manuals are the actual law? The technical measurements?

What Public.Resource.Org is doing is still a gray area, as you said. But I guess it will not be a total loss - if there are legal challenges in the future, they can publish a "censored" version of technical standard and defend that.

This is weirdly relevant. I just finished implementing a persistent B-tree library in Scheme.[1][2]

I don't know why B-trees aren't used more as a purely-functional data structure. Once they get large enough, they don't move around much when changed; there is no rebalancing except on deletes, and even that only affects the direct path to the deleted node.

Correct. Coax is nice and quiet in both directions. In home power wiring is basically a giant, poorly tuned antenna.

I can tell you MOCA 1.0 can be made to work over powerline (at reduced bandwidth, if you rip out the RF frontend and run at baseband), and it can pass emissions, but it didn't work well enough (by % of households able to achieve >= target data rate) to be worth commercializing.

I'll concede it's likely that most people drink coffee for the caffeine, but I would venture a guess that most people don't drink very good or well-brewed coffee. It doesn't really make sense to say that "coffee" in general smells or tastes bad because the range is enormous; it's similar to lumping all citrus fruits together.

I've had a hard time lately restricting my coffee intake to reasonable levels because I've had a lot of time to practice coffee brewing and some of the batches I've managed to brew have felt like drinking liquid chocolate. Even the same coffee beans will taste completely different depending on how you brew it.

I don't regret it at all though. Coffee is a luxury where a small investment goes a long way.

Yeah, all of the dynamic parts of JSX are Just Javascript.

You can also look at JSX and know exactly how it will compile to Javascript because it's so simple. (foo && <Component {...props} />) -> (foo && React.createElement(Component, props)).

It really is just React.createElement calls. It just isn't a huge departure.

Meanwhile, what Elm compiles to is very nontrivial. The comparison only makes sense if you never actually looked at what JSX does thus mistake it for something much more complex.

On the other hand, your employer does not have the opportunity to accumulate your work without paying you while you are alive, then apply that accumulated work for fun and profit after your death. The "life plus X" is a Chesterton's Fence - it was originally there for a reason. The length of X has since grown to be ridiculous, yes, but posthumous publishing of works for which the creator received nothing was a thing.
Apparently, this kinda works in Thai language too(and I think other language also) The search keyword is "เสื้อไม่มีแถบ" which is literally translated as 'Shirt without stripes'. It's common words to speak, unlike 'without' in English.

Over half the items Costco sells aren't food or necessary household goods either.
The real wealth lost is all the production we would have had had we not shut down that is now lost forever.

Yes, without shutdown some people would have taken sick days, etc, but the effect would be extremely manageable. We would not have people dropping like flies the way the flawed IMHE model implies.

As to your question about rushing down the old path, it is very inappropriate for the government to destroy peoples’ livelihoods (and make no mistake, it was the government’s / our doing, _not_ covid), and then to turn around and say “you’re only screwed because government isn’t in your life _enough_!”. As your point revealed, this is actually IMO what democrats are very blatantly trying to do (I am calling out a specific party because it really is them who are still pushing for these lockdowns).

It’s not relevant, but know that I support UBI (iff it replaces welfare rather than being in addition to it), but not like this. This would be such an evil way to introduce UBI: manufacturing a problem and then “fixing” it.

—

The inequality exacerbation is not a consequence of our economy. The government created it by creating the concept of “essential workers”. All workers are exactly as essential as the economy (we) decide(s) they are.

But we didn’t just prevent wealth from being created, the media combined with our incompetent public health officials created an unprecedented level of panic and fearmongering that most of us have never seen in our lives. The result? Case studies like this one: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016517812... (and no, this was not caused by covid, it was causes by the aforementioned fearmongering)
It's commonly referred to that in electronics and chemistry. It's where I've encountered the terminology.
Another thing that I find funny is how haphazardly the social distancing rules are enforced. At Costco when entering the store, they have you get into an external makeshift line and stand 6 feet away from the next person while waiting for your turn to enter the store. BUT, once you enter the store, there's literally not a single person enforcing anything, and so everyone is just mashed together walking around as if nothing changed...

In India in particular, the lockdown has so far caused more misery than the virus itself:

...although it's an impossible equation, because letting it turn rampant would also cause death and destruction.
While it is academically interesting to try to apportion blame between COVID-19 and underlying conditions, the basic fact on the ground is an anomalous rise in illnesses requiring critical care and resulting in death.

This has been true since the first alarm bells in China, and has spread to other nations in a way that is easily observed first-hand, clearly reported by front-line medical staff, and consistent with the spread of a new disease.

That obvious data is what populations and governments are reacting to, not some calculated IFR.
A lot! There's no serious debate that it's happening and the main cause is human burning of fossil fuels, but numerical estimates of future temperature change have wide error bars and estimates of ecosystem damage are all fairly speculative since they depend on species not being able to adapt (which they may or may not.)

The debate has been poisoned by deniers pointing to any uncertainty as evidence of it all being fake. The intellectually honest approach is to consider the expected costs across all likely outcomes, and spend money on mitigations accordingly.

This model can be ducted with standard 8" ducting. It is possible to have it draw warm air from outside or vent the cold air out of the house. You can get fancy and install baffles that you switch seasonally. A properly ducted system will be more efficient because you won't be putting artificial house heat into the water or heating the house more to offset the cooling.

> So no, you don’t need coffee. You need to give your brain a break (sleep properly) if it asks for it, and you don’t need to drug yourself with substances to “focus” and go on with your life.

I'd suggest that the reason so many people drink so much coffee is that giving their brain a break by getting plenty of sleep and R&R is just not feasible.

Take people with small children, for one. Unless you're very lucky, you won't be getting regular quality sleep for 5+ years after having your first child. If you have more than one, then extend this period as necessary.

People don't drink 3+ cups of coffee a day to be their best self living their best life. They drink that much coffee to function at all when they have no other option.
I'm saying it's very likely you should be looking into alternative approaches if the fast path performance is genuinely your bottleneck, and that in my experience it's overwhelmingly likely that that's not the case. Most likely you're doing too many dynamic memory allocations to begin with. Note that even if you invoke the fast path 20x more often than the slow path, it's still going to be peanuts if your slow path is 1000x slower.

Best way to support your point would be to illustrate with realistic examples instead of hypotheticals. Otherwise this is like the JIT vs. AOT debate that always goes nowhere because the JIT side only ever uses hypotheticals to support their case.
Discord would tick all the boxes I care about, they'd have to pivot their marketing and "theme" a bit though. Or just release a separate corporate focused product that's still Discord under the hood.
