I dunno... early on (e.g. while locked to universities) I very much didn't see widespread un-like for it. I overheard tons of people who were thrilled when it became available, and even after a year or two I don't think I heard any complaints (except that you couldn't put gifs everywhere). It was dramatically more useful than anything else we'd used, especially the stuff the school was offering.

After it opened up, yeah, it wasn't long before sentiment shifted :) I'm not sure when I'd label it crossing a majority of what I hear, but there was a definite shift within a year or so.
clear cut?? this paragraph rather puts a damper on the enthusia$m…
The study tracked two groups of patients who were hospitalized with Covid-19. One group received a 5-day treatment of remdesivir, while the other group took the drug for 10 days. The researchers said more than half of the patients in both treatment groups were discharged from the hospital within 14 days. They said 64.5% of the patients who received the shorter treatment course were discharged, compared with 53.8% of the group who were treated for 10 days.

This means a shorter course was less dangerous than a longer course—is one way to say it. Without a control arm though, one cannot say that OR that they did “better” than people who received no RDV.

Shoddy “science” does not help patients or physicians to make best treatment decisions.

That's not genius. That's arrogance.

Truly smart people know that their abilities and success are fleeting and do not extend beyond their own little sphere. And if they do venture beyond they are humble and learn from the wisdom of experts. They never, ever think they are good at everything.
> why dead fragments can't join again to make full blown virus?

Is a good question.

Around 220 species of viruses are known to be able to infect humans. Another 8 at least can affect dogs, but not humans. Lets say that 50 more viruses are exclusive from each one of dogs, cats, cattle, pigs, poultry and fishes and most main crops

Those species are studied. Less imagine that this list makes a total of 5000 viruses relatively well studied.

Well. In a conservative estimate, only Mammals could host more than 300,000 species of virus still unknown to science. There are, probably, several millions of virus still unknown only among arthropods.

Lets say that "1%" of the viruses don't work that way, and we don't know anything about the regenerating DNA capacities of the remaining "99%", but we can assume that probably will not happen. Probably. Viruses stop being functional when devoid of its capsides.

But... I wouldn't bet against viroids, in this sense. Fortunately, we aren't plants.
On the other hand, there's downsides with too much Vitamin D, like hypercalcuria and the risk of kidney stones from that:

Adults like yummy flavors too. This “flavored products are for kids” is utter nonsense, designed to vilify a new entrant and distract from the continued functioning of the tobacco industry. Smoking kills half its users.

It is one of the great tragedies of our time that tobacco companies got vaping lumped in with smoking and its harms, when it is at least two orders of magnitude safer.
In Internet 90% of the people are "above average" in attractiveness. Either you are not that good looking as you think you are or you are very modest scratching the untruthfulness. Very attractive people tend to value MORE not less physical appearance, which it makes senss, due to assortative mating and the worldview they grew up with.
Disingenuous typically suggests insincerity. That you think someone is wrong does not mean they are not sincere in their position.

Oh awesome, I'll have to take a look at this. Thanks for sharing.

There's also a lot of questions on how much of that cash is tied into the China plant and Chinese relationship. Some analysts estimate that's about $2 billion of the $8B, so maybe a $1.5 billion buffer, and that's assuming some level of pre-covid demand.

Plus there's an argument to be made that a company isn't likely to actually run the cash all the way down to zero before waiving the desperation flag (I recall hearing GM had $1-$2 billion in cash when they filed bankruptcy in 2009).

Without knowing what the rest of 2020 demand looks like and the concerns above, the time horizon could easily be cut from your estimated 2 years down to 1. Only one year left to survive is a precarious situation.

Not saying that's guaranteed to happen, but the are plenty of valid concerns one would have as a common stock shareholder.

Facebook is a very large company that uses lots of tools, and (apparently) encourage some degree of independence between its teams. So it is likely one or a few teams might be using this.

I always take this kind of listing with a big grain of salt, because "company uses X" does not mean "company uses X in the majority of cases/primarily".

You're right in all of these, he doesn't care about the virus, because he's focused on stopping global warming and getting to Mars. Also he's probably not the nicest person with everybody, as that's also not his focus.

I would be much more worried if he stopped developing the autopilot hardware for example, thinking that the current

version has enough capacity for the necessary calculations. The truth is, even if it has (with the right algorithm), more computations mean that self driving can launch earlier.

It would be better for example if the Model Y wouldn't be manufactured with lots of errors that QA should have caught, but that's also secondary to getting self driving, which is an extremely hard problem.

Just in case it is: this is because you continue to insist that a 401k is a pension when it is not in this context.

If the script can't access protected locations did it actually break the sandbox? Can you actually run the file in /Users/Shared scripts afterward and access those locations from there on? On Catalina the shell is kinda sandboxed when run interactively, does this exploit bypass by tuning as TextEdit?

I definitely share the frustration with Firefox refusing to work if it detects that it was updated, and just showing the "Please restart Firefox" page. AFAIK that's a recent addition, and done on purpose, so not a bug. But definitely not the best user experience.

Yep, I have been infinitely happier dating down, there is no a comparison. Not so much because it is so nice (it is lame) but because dating up is hell on earth. The other "trick" to date across or up (in physical attractiveness) is to offer other things, like money, (this works beautifully with single parents) but I do not like that route.
I'm sure it depends a lot on your location and peer group. In San Francisco, where I live, it's very common for healthy 20- and 30-somethings to get the flu shot every year. I try to remember to get it every year, and there's always friends or coworkers reminding everyone about it every year.
An anecdote about allergies. I take zyrtec (generic) for mild hayfever. Have been for almost a decade. So, I sort of figured I had allergies covered. I’d get cold/flu symptoms twice a year at roughly the same time each year, and just figured it was the seasonal flu (especially with school age kids, you get it all). I finally realized a couple years ago, though, that that most of the symptoms disappeared once I got to work, with it’s recycled and filtered AC. It took a long time to put this together since I’d tend to stay home when I thought I was contagious. So now I’m more aware of when the trees near me are dumping pollen, and it definitely lines up.

I say this to let you know that if you’re stuck at home, you may be more likely to be feeling the effects of local allergens that you might not feel if you spent less time at home. The symptoms you describe sound a lot like allergies to me. I’m not a doctor though, so please do your own research. And talk to a doctor about the symptoms, especially if they progress...

I'm not sure what you mean, I haven't experienced that behavior. Maybe try with a clean profile?
I think everybody should carefully read the short section that says "Does the amount of exposure affect the severity?".

Some people are looking at antibody studies that show that large parts of the population are somehow affected and then doing back of the napkin math and deciding that this is really not worse than the flu in terms of death rate. They are further encouraged by the fact that people that die tend to be older and with pre-existing conditions. Then they say we should open everything up and get everything "back to normal", and sometimes they add that this is just a way to winnow out the old and the weak.

As problematic as the latter statement is, the above thinking is actually dangerously optimistic. Experience shows us that in specific situations with prolonged/repeated exposure, the death rates are much higher. Also young and healthy people may get seriously sick and die due to high level of exposure.

This has already been happening in hospitals that did not have sufficient protective equipment/procedures.

If we open everything up and get into a situation where the virus is all over the place we can get into a horrible spiral of increased exposure and increased death rates etc.
My org is starting to migrate from a PHP Monolith to Microservices as a way of freeing ourselves from PHP.

Microservices will require more time spent writing interservice APIs, and code execution will be slower since many procedure calls will require data serialization and network requests. But we believe it will be worth the overhead to not be locked into PHP for every new component of the project.

IIRC moex is perticularly expensive to trade on, and costs can be non linear -- but something like 1bps of commms is a reasonable approximation as an upper bound. In the paper they claim a cost of 2.5RUB per transaction, not the 20 in the config file.

Edit*: It looks like the comms are indeed around 10RUB per side (which is approx 1bps). https://www.moex.com/en/contract.aspx

If the model is trading single lots then this is a reasonable cost assumption, otherwise it isn't. The paper using 2.5RUB as costs is unreasonable.

> California has gotten significantly worse over the last 10 years or so for residents though, even if some debt has been paid off.

> Rent control, nimbyism, etc all backed by the current government have made the housing market a hellscape. Nothing has been done to address the education system and huge pension liabilities either.

Rent control and Nimbyism is not new in the last 10 years in CA. In fact, rent control in the state is less strong than it was in the past.

So you can't directly blame those for changes in the last 10 years.

What's changed in the last 10 years? A lot of incoming migration into high-paying jobs. And it largely sucks for everyone but those new residents who are making more than the existing residents. People who make less are increasingly starting to leave, but not enough to make a dent compared to the influx of newcomers with money. If you have money, you're still more likely to move to CA than away from it.

You think if all those people were wealthy Republicans instead of Democrats they'd be less-NIMBY? Right-wing suburbs in the rest of the country are NIMBY-central.
That is certainly different. I wonder if Instagram is resisting, lest it will lead to feature bloat.
> Look at the stats on the sudden drop in historical "Other" column deaths in comparison to the "Covid" column (for this year)...they basically align perfectly.

There is no drop in "other" column deaths. The excess all-cause mortality rate is actually substantially higher than the number of diagnosed Covid deaths [1].

There are certain commenters on various social media sites posting CDC all-cause mortality charts showing a "drop" in recent all-cause deaths, except that's purely an artifact of the reporting lag (deaths take a couple weeks to show up in the stats so if you try to look up the number of deaths that happened within the past 1-2 weeks you will get an undercount). It sounds like you have been duped by one of those people.
