They'll have that mindset regardless of the reasoning for it. We'll just all have to watch as they show up on the news going "I never believed this could happen to me!".

Those big books are your name and home address which were used to make sure you were in the correct voting location.

Then you signed the book in front of the ballot person as a sort of "proof" the information was correct and you were voting.

So basically, it's just an honor system.

One could theoretically vote in the morning under your real name, then come back in the afternoon and vote again as your neighbor - so long as you beat them there.
None of that stuff has improved anyone's life worth a damn.

Very unlikely, but if necessary Tesla would go through a Chapter 11 reorg, not a 7 liquidation. The brand, charging network, and manufacturing capacity has too much value to throw away.

When Tesla was on the brink of insolvency years ago, he had a handshake deal with Larry Page (they jetpooled together) for Google to acquire Tesla and for Musk to continue to run day to day operations. Wasn’t necessary, but there are options.

Elon will be fine.

San Francisco has about 600 polling places, which each are required to have 4 people. That is 2400 polling workers.

In the 2016 election, SF dealt with 400k ballots. Assuming all 400k ballots needed a signature match, and it took a trained worker 20 seconds to match a signature, and they worked 8 hours a day, then it would take:

400k ballots / (3 ballots/minute * 60 minutes/hour * 8 hours/day) = 277 worker-days to match all those signatures.

If you can get 2400 people to work the polling places you'd probably have no trouble getting 277 people to match signatures, and would get them all matched within a single 8 hour workday. In practice it takes several days, so you'd need far less.

It doesn't seem hard to imagine how this could be done. Running elections is one of the most important things that a government does, so they've put some thought into figuring out how to do it.
I used it a decade ago and it was fine for an end-user, so why should I care? Raw advancements in CPU power would have been enough to keep the old backend going just fine.

I asked you about the collapse of the healthcare system in Lombardy, within a few weeks of the virus appearing. When has the flu done that?

You're presenting what happened in Lombardy as some sort of mass hysteria. Was the healthcare system overwhelmed, or was that a mass hallucination?

There have been 30,000 confirmed CoVID-19 deaths in Italy, which is about double a normal flu season. What do you think that number would have been without any social distancing measures? As I see it, the numbers are not that difficult to estimate. About 70% of people would need to catch CoVID-19 before herd immunity brought R below 1. With an IFR of 0.5%, and a population of 60 million people, that would mean about 200,000 deaths. Is that enough to "lose one's mind over"?
Esc-. is more portable. Works on mac too.
Since when does enforceability have any impact on whether something is a human right or not? One aspect of "human rights" is that they are universal. They apply to both me, you, and everyone else on the planet equally. And, it is entirely reasonable to believe that nobody has the right to end my life but me. So, yes, I believe 0 is the correct number of lives to be sacrificed for economic activity, even though we don't come close to that practically.
New York was the exception to the rule. Most hospitals were not overwhelmed. In fact, many hospitals flirted with financial disaster when governors prevented elective procedures. I can speak specifically to AZ which outside of some very small Indian Reservation medical centers, is well below capacity[1]
Seattle's Army hospital closed without a single patient[2].
Growth rates, especially in AZ, were never large to begin with.

This is an unreasonable response with full information though. Had the media done their job in most parts of the country and reported that hospitals were not actually seeing many covid patients, people would have been more willing to go to the hospital. Instead, every news outlet, including local ones, reported on one or two slightly overloaded hospitals in New York City, which is a thousand or so miles away for most Americans, and completely unimportant when you have a heart attack, stroke, whatever.

Instead, people had to make do with partial information and many people -- believing incorrectly that their local hospitals were overwhelmed and needed them to stay home -- chose to do so.

You misunderstood my comment. The "theory" refers to an explanation for what is perpetuating disparities in violence across racial communities, not whether or not certain injustices have happened or continue to happen. (hence, "There are a lot of (both racist and non-racist) theories for explaining this")
The main ones I've used for some time are the git CLI (which should be counted as a git toolset too), Sourcetree, the GUI inside IntelliJ, and Magit. I currently use Magit + the git CLI for some quick commands.

For me, Magit code staging is the best I've tried: staging whole files is as easy as staging single lines, which means my commits are more meaningful. Magit also allows me to use some fancy features without having to remember they exist, thanks to the well-thought command popups. Last, it's integrated with Emacs: this means I can move through code and write my commit messages in a familiar, coherent way.

The final advantage for me is that Emacs and Magit are forever. They will live longer than any other tool out there.
A WAF specifically marketed at WordPress is a clever idea.

You mentioned that Wordfence has a team of 35 behind it. This seems like a large team, and I'm curious to know what the distribution of roles is like? Also interested to know how many users and paying customers Wordfence has?
Here is one way to formulate this. You are an information processing machine with certain throughput. Article says 10 dB worth of energy going into your ear causes an average of 5% decrease in your throughput, in the form of processing cost to filter irrelevant bits out. What we don’t know is what that 10dB stimulus is representative of. 10dB of baby crying vs 10dB of equally distributed, unpatterned brown-noise vs 10dB of low frequency predator sounds are by definition are not going to get assigned the same attentional saliency and will have different processing costs. Furthermore, your individual processing machine will accrue certain biases throughout, so same stimulus will not have the same processing cost for everyone. A typical example would be combat PTSD biasing processing towards gunfire, so it would cost more to filter out fireworks later on. In sum, there is a lot of aggregation and averaging going on in this calculation and this is why %5 feels too little a cost for 10 dB.
self driving cars are the answer, which are impervious to pandemics like coronavirus as an added bonus and will reduce the human death toll inflicted from motor-vehicle casualties at the hands of human drivers.

Great use of money and commendations across the board to the Army Corp of Engineers who put this together so quickly.

> We don't have those numbers because of the lockdowns, which were obeyed in part because of the media coverage. The alternative would have been China's approach of physically locking people inside their homes, or much lower compliance and higher infection and death rates.

Complete and utter lies.

While true that the lockdown certainly reduced death rate, the death toll was never likely to be 2 million by summer, as widely was reported in the media. For example, The media reported that Sweden would have 40k deaths by now. In reality they have 3000. Sweden is the only data point, since they're the only place that didn't shut down. That is an incredibly faulty model.

On another point. I'm not sure how much this is true, but I've read that most of AMD's chips are made from the same basic building blocks, and their different CPUs are mostly just a matter of how many these blocks are stitched together along with whatever tuning/other hardware. Such a design is probably very scalable, which simplifies manufacturing and reduces costs. Whereas I heard intel chips have more separate customizations requiring more separate tooling for each of their chipsets, which complicates manufacturing...
Why is that? Is there some missing ingredient?
It's mostly for sorting and context. I just do a straight up search (in my case in vscode) across all notes when I want to find notes about something particular.

Really the most important thing to do is just start taking notes. You can reorganize later if you need to.
Stopping people from getting the virus was, unfortunately, not the goal. American epidemiologists don't and didn't believe that's something we can achieve in the short term.
So this is how it's going to be right? Endless lawsuits based on what really??

I'm not alleging 'equivalence', I'm emphasizing assumptions & tradeoffs.

I want readers to know that your headline claim, "Signal's servers store no contact lists at all", should be coupled with the important caveat that believing that claim still requires trust in Signal and Intel personnel/servers.

And even if someone, like yourself, assumes such trust in Signal & Intel, the metadata protection Signal does offer still requires other metadata tradeoffs. That's not 'equivalent' to other options, it's different in notable ways. For some users, like say an anonymous whistleblower without a 'burner' phone number, Signal's metadata handling is arguably worse than other extant options.

You find Signal a preferable, perhaps even dominant choice; I think they're a mixed-bag once aware of all the tradeoffs.

I read somewhere that prolonged high doses of vitamin D might have adverse effects on bone strength making them more brittle, but I'm unsure about the source. I personally have celiac disease and hypothyroidism am also having issues keeping the D up (heh heh). I take about 200ug daily with vitamin K and I'm thinking about increasing it temporarily to double of that. Generally it shouldn't be an issue with short term higher doses, but nearing a 1000ug daily dose for prolonged periods (months) can be dangerous.

> Or did people just die at home afraid to go to the hospital?

Sadly I think this is a partial answer. Working as a paramedic, for all the times I saw people saying “y’know, maybe I don’t really need to go to the ER”, there were also the people who really did need to but were too scared. Be it 90 year olds with severe lacerations or heart attacks, there was a fear that we had to manage and balance.
Yes, and few people are arguing for a total reopening free-for-all.

The death projections from reopening account for the existing amount of COVID testing, people wearing face masks, self quarantining, and random sample tracing.

It's pretty telling who the government really cares about. When ordering the meat packing plants to stay open in the midst of the pandemic, the top concern voiced by Trump was not about worker health and safety but about corporate liability for any lawsuits.

Does it really matter? The fact is, I use that much CPU/Ram for work tasks... and I'd like a 2070 as a baseline for the occasional gaming.

Since AMD systems are likely 1-2 years away from seeing good, broad Thunderbolt support (probably aligned with USB4), eGPU isn't an option. AMD currently does more, with less power than the Intel counterparts in the upper end classes of systems.

Find me a laptop with a 2070 Max Q that isn't at the higher price point that the AMD 4800H doesn't fit into.

Remember that Elon agreed to have his tweets reviewed by Tesla's in-house counsel in lieu of formal SEC action after he lied about taking the company private.

He recently tweeted that the stock price was too high. Something legal would never allow him to say, especially if he is on the verge of exercising options.

My bet is the SEC isn't going to tolerate this behavior anymore, and he won't be at the helm of any of his companies by the end of the year. He will be just plain poor.

Factually inaccurate. The reason the cost of living is lower in red states is simply due to location. People desire to live in coastal cities like NY, SF, LA, Seattle, etc.

Supply and demand drive prices. Do you think real estate is expensive on the upper east side in Manhattan because of an undue restriction on housing supply? Or is it just because many people want to live and work in NYC?

Ah, yes. We were purely a proprietary trading firm. As my boss explained it, the traders who started the company brought a pile of money with them, and it was our job to make it a bigger pile of money. It was in some ways very pure; for my first year there we didn't even have the company name on the door. We already knew where the place was, and money spent on frivolities just meant less money to trade with.
Yeah, I've mostly ignored it so far as well. I did get Dual Contouring working on 4D signed distance fields, but the resulting meshes are kind of janky. My thoughts are to eventually get boolean operations working on arbitrary tetrahedral meshes and do some CSG, or create a Blender-style 4D mesh editor.

Another game idea is The Incredible Machine in 4D, but it would be so hard to play, and even harder to design the puzzles.
Why don't governments fund the research though?
I would like to point out that one can assume different identities on the web, and that I am fine giving my personal email and address to my bank, but perhaps not to a hacker conference. Why? Because it's my choice.
The lesson learned would be "don't do new things, and don't believe in anyone who suggests that you do new things." That's not a positive lesson.

The other lesson could be "maybe we shouldn't rely on one person's charisma to drive us to do new and interesting things," but that's not likely to be the lesson learned.
I doubt our hindsight will be perfect. 9/11 happened in broad daylight at 9 in the morning, in two major cities, yet it is almost impossible to suss out what actually happened that day based on the current, publicly available data. SARS-CoV 2 is probably going to get filed away into the "suspicious mystery" drawer, right next to JFK, Jimmy Hoffa, DB Cooper, MH370 et al.
Many countries would have to replace the money lost to fuel duty with something fuel duties are a huge portion of the tax revenue in most of Europe and many other countries.

So adding a road tax for EVs eventually would have to happen to offset the loss of revenue.

I'm curious how you think this is going to play out. Obviously it seems like house and apartment prices in SF city will suffer, but do you think we'll see a jump in house prices on the peninsula and in the suburbs like east bay? We rent in east bay and I consider ourselves fortunate to have a yard and a pool. I can only imagine that it will become more desirable to live in suburbia than in the city, but it sure would be nice if a lot of people leave the bay area entirely to help the housing demand get down to a reasonable level, at which prices can start to get back to normal.
Even if your SF scale numbers worked everywhere, and even if signatures were a reliable form of identity verification (which I assert they are not), what do you do when you think there's not a match? Throw away the ballot? Call the person up? Mail their house? Require them to come in and verify their identity?

Why not just scan their government issued ID from the start and be done? Why make it harder than it needs to be?
First of all, thanks for the help!

Is it safe to take a high dose of vitamin D in supplement form? I ask only because the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK warns not to take more than 100 micrograms of vitamin D. 5000 iu (International units) is approximately 125 micrograms of vitamin D.

Here is what the NHS website says:

"What happens if I take too much vitamin D?

Taking too many vitamin D supplements over a long period of time can cause too much calcium to build up in the body (hypercalcaemia). This can weaken the bones and damage the kidneys and the heart.

If you choose to take vitamin D supplements, 10 micrograms a day will be enough for most people.

Do not take more than 100 micrograms of vitamin D a day as it could be harmful. This applies to adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women and the elderly, and children aged 11 to 17 years."

Yes you are exactly right. It has always been normal to send the dead bodies to neighboring towns, when your crematoriums are full, and they did it every year in Lombardy. No one just noticed previously. I think we need to blame their mayor, for not encouraging building bigger better crematorium.
