And then it's easy to make them see how her answer was right in its own way by adding another unit, (person at table a+b and people at table a+b) and show why it may be harder to works like that for now.

I heard so many people complains that each year in maths they would essentially learn that everything they learned the year before was wrong... can we fix that please?!

Well, for one, orthopoxviruses cause skin lesions, replicate in keratinocytes, dermal fibroblasts and other skin cells and evoke strong immune responses there. Coronaviruses don't.
It also helps (based on my own anecdotal experience) to be trim -- neither overweight nor obese.
Yes if you have such issues on two different machines it is most likely software rather than hardware.

It is frustrating and time consuming but have you gone step-by-step on a clean system to at least narrow down when the issues begin to occur?
So much simpler: one guy says outlandish, easily disproven things 100 times a day. Its just shooting fish in a barrel - lazy.
Most of these analyses were done in late-stage COVID-19 patients, when any antiviral won't work (same results with remedisivir, lopinavir/ritonavir/ribavirin), that's why the discussion won't stop. Didier Raoult in his very controversial paper suggested prophylaxis after exposure to the virus.

And guess what, no one (save the U of Minnesota trial, AFAICS) has done a RCT on that.

EDIT: I think it's a "shame" because all analyses so far focused on the late-stage disease, as I said, and because hopefully real RCT results will be out soon (like, real soon, or so I hope).

Epidemiologists and virologists have literally dedicated their lives to effectively containing and dealing with infectious agents. Other medical doctors have focused at least a decade of intense study on the human body and the processes by which human life perpetuates and ends.

But by all means, let's all presume that an economist like Robin Hanson—whose primary interest it would seem to be opening up commerce during a pandemic—has somehow come up with an idea that has escaped the notice of that entire segment of the population dedicated to human health.

Let's ask Mike Pence about his thoughts on the use of bloom filters as relational database indexes while we're at it. I'm sure he'll point out that mauve seems to have the most RAM.

Sure, experts can have blind spots, but c'mon!
I just had a discussion with someone on Lobsters about the actual cost of a lower-end iPhone versus a similarly-priced Android phone and the iPhone appeared cheaper:

> The Pixel 4 is $799 and the Pixel 3a is
$399 (although it may be on sale right now depending on your region).
The iPhone 11 is $699 and the iPhone SE (2nd generation) is $399. Both
provide additional discounts if you trade in your current phone (and
since iPhones have a lot more resale value, you can get much more for
your trade-in). Google provides three years of security updates,
starting from the time that the phone is released. Apple provides four
or five years of security (and feature!) updates. You can get the same
amount of usable life out of a brand-new Pixel as a one- or two-year-old
iPhone, which puts the per-year price strongly in Apple's favor. Other
Android devices, like those made by Samsung, are usually even more
expensive and have fewer years of guaranteed security updates. Apple
even backports extremely high-severity security patches and major bug
fixes (like the GPS rollover patch) to devices that would be considered
"obsolete" by Android manufacturers.

So the iPhone might be a higher upfront cost, but it's a significantly lower per-year cost, especially if you get last year's model or the SE.
Twitter video is a mess. I can't read anything in this video
Advertised prices in the US do not include any taxes, whereas in Europe they have to account for VAT.

The average rate of VAT in Europe is around 21% - it represents the bulk of the difference in price. The rest you can put down to currency hedging, import duty, and transport to ship the cars from the US.
Regrettably Apple News will occasionally drop sections of the content it doesn’t know how to render properly, leaving the news article bafflingly incomplete, and usually it’s not obvious that something is missing.
I'm not a medicine professional, so I'm just curious here.

Since variolation has basically the same principle as vaccination, it's hardly an alternative to vaccination. Is it really worth trying?

To me (with my very crude understanding), proposing variolation as an alternative to vaccination is akin to proposing knife without a handle as an alternative to a regular knife.

Is there any case where vaccination fails to work, while variolation succeed?
AWS, Azure and GCP. They all have consulting and solution architect roles.
My iPhone transcribes voicemails so slowly that most times it's faster and easier to just listen to it.
Yeah, when you buy it for your work without paying taxes on it, you also don't get the consumer benefits. At least that's how it works in NL: if you buy it as a work necessity, you don't pay BTW/VAT/GST on it, but then you indeed don't get the 14 day "I changed my mind" period and I don't know how it works with the standard 2-year warranty.

In general though...

> If the laptop is outright terrible, but not technically _broken_

Then it depends on whether it is as advertised or, if a certain feature was not specified, as one may reasonably expect. In an extreme example, a washing machine that turns out to play annoying music while running is not as one should expect; or if it was advertised that it would play music but it doesn't... Finally, it depends on whether you talked to the merchant. Anything they said can be seen as "as advertised", though of course anything not in writing would be hard to prove.

So it depends on what you mean by "terrible". It sounds to me like you mean something worse than some annoyances or that it's a good laptop but doesn't fit your purpose (assuming that that the merchant did not claim it would do well for your purpose, if you explained your use case to them). You might have a case there, if you tell them as soon as you become aware of the defect(s).

Of course, there are also merchants that are simply nice and will let you exchange it for a product of similar value. I had that with my most recent laptop: in hindsight, I should just not have let the 14 days expire and I should have returned it without strings attached. (It was good hardware and I told myself that, with enough time and customization, I'd be able to work on Windows again since the Linux drivers didn't work at all. But after 3.5 weeks I was absolutely done with Windows.) I asked the merchant and they let me exchange it, but their laptop selection was limited (as with any store), and while I now got something I'm not perfectly happy with, it's still a lot better than the thing I initially had.
this is what linux package managers do. the package itself doesn't handle deleting files at all, because the package manager, which tracks the files created at install time takes care of it.

I think the elaboration from Viktor E Frankl's Man's Search For Meaning is the best piece of writing on this.

"The unemployed worker, for example, is in a similar position. His existence has become provisional and in a certain sense he cannot live for the future or aim at a goal. Research work done on unemployed miners has shown that they suffer from a peculiar sort of deformed time—inner time—which is a result of their unemployed state. Prisoners, too, suffered from this strange “time-experience.” In camp, a small time unit, a day, for example, filled with hourly tortures and fatigue, appeared endless. A larger time unit, perhaps a week, seemed to pass very quickly. My comrades agreed when I said that in camp a day lasted longer than a week. How paradoxical was our time-experience! In this connection we are reminded of Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain, which contains some very pointed psychological remarks. Mann studies the spiritual development of people who are in an analogous psychological position, i.e., tuberculosis patients in a sanatorium who also know no date for their release. They experience a similar existence—without a future and without a goal."

I used to have a Mac Pro (cheesegrater) but switched back about 2 years ago due to having a kid in college and Dell and Windows 10 were not too shabby.

The proponent has no effect on the null hypothesis. What was needed was a RCT: no results are out for any, at this point.

What would be required to prove your identity? Would you be able to tweet anonymously, or must you tweet under that identity? There are some issues with that, for example people without government identification would not be allowed to tweet. Perhaps you could use unique fingerprints, but that turns into a huge privacy concern and I can never see that being accepted. Maybe there are some unique bio-markers that could be used which people feel would be irrelevant or otherwise useless enough to not be an invasion of privacy.
Politicians need to be held accountable for passing laws to allow for crap like this. If Gilead wants to set their own prices and reap all of the profit then they should foot bill for R&D. But if We The People pay for the development costs then the drug should be available to American Citizens at cost and available to the rest of the world at a reasonable price with negotiators from the Department of State, HHS, and Dept of Commerce hammering out the pricing details (or arranging for quid-pro-quo reciprocity as seen fit).
I grew up with nitrome as a staple of the internet, so I’m happy they’re doing this, even for nostalgic reasons- their games really shaped my youth and we definitely lost a wealth of content when flash died.

I feel like in general the “spirit” of the old flash games has died, I’m not sure why but there was an incredible amount of low grade content around during the flash days, and thus we had breakout successes like “the stick guy vs the web designer“ and line rider. Maybe it’s because I’m old, but I don’t see those kinds of incredibly Indy things anymore.

I don’t miss flash as a web technology though.

Particularly in the case of a 1950s drug that has been consumed by millions of people, and which as far as I know was available without prescription until covid. It’s like saying aspirin is dangerous. Sure. At a certain dosage.
I think it's because of

- 10% tax/duty on imported cars from the USA to the EU (1)

- shipping costs from USA to EU

- price are with VAT included in EU (all consumer products), so around 20%

When the cars are made in Berlin (mid/late 2021 if Tesla is to be believed) price will probably go down by a significant amount for EU buyers.

And there will be more non Tesla BEV models in the next few years, another factor for Tesla to lower prices.

Peugeot e-208 seems to have a nice success, and Volkswagen will soon have lots of BEV models.

I did not respond right away, because I wanted to process it properly. I tried to imagine a world you describe and, I will admit, it does sound better than what we have. The problem, as is often the case with things that sound nice, however, is that we got here by not accounting for human drives. Those needs are not channeled in any way. For example, you say that companies ought not to seek maximum profitability in spite of clear indication that this is what they seek.

Until we figure out how to properly channel that very human tendency, the choice you suggest is theoretical. And I am saying this while agreeing with the various oughts listed.
For anyone on the fence about using DuckDuckGo instead of Google, if you don't find what you're looking for, it's easy to revert to a Google search by typing "!google" with your query.

DDG has improved a lot with time, so I almost never fall back to Google anymore.

For some technical searches that DDG can't find, I find codeseek.com is better than both Google and DDG

True, but I won’t own the car in 10 years so I don’t care. I’m not discounting your point or anyone else’s on merit. What I’m getting at is that it’s a minority position and most people don’t care. How many 10 year old cars do you see out on the road? Yeah, they’re out there, but most of them are a lot newer than that. Most buyers just don’t keep a car long enough for any of this to matter and the ones that do care have 100 other options.
I don't even let my screens turn off anymore; these days I get this weird thing where after waking the monitors up the monitor does not get a signal, but if it is plugged in, the mouse jumps around at like 2fps on the main display as if there's some weird interrupt denial of service going on.

To fix this, I have to restart just to use my monitor again.
Thank you for the answer. To those who downvoted- I normally don't comment on that, but damn it was an honest question and I admitted to having little knowledge on this and its not like I gave a hot take. Just wanting to learn something...
In some cases, high cpu/gpu utilization will drain the battery when plugged in.

Sounds a bit counter-intuitive, but i think visible tattoos (arms, neck) have worked in my favor as i got older, exactly because they help in the perception that i am younger or "hipper" than i actually am. I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to go out and get one if they weren't interested in it anyways, but i think in the tech industry it's no hindrance to getting work as a line manager or IC.
A lot of kids today (I'm 57) look like this! I don't think Jack Dorsey, for example, owns a comb.
> You don't need to think about graphs or runtimes every day- but that one time each year or so that you do need to know it, it's critical that you do.

That one time a year when it's critical, I would want someone who is likely to engage on the rest of the team to come up with a solid solution together and spend at least a day thinking about it.

This isn't how interviews work so if you think you're selecting for that one time a year when its critical at the expense of the rest of the year, I don't think you're getting what you think you are.

For quick workarounds to deal with a critical error while allowing time to solve it properly, I think an experienced person may have an edge.
The combo of algorithmic detection at scale, combined with small amounts of manual intervention and customer service where most needed, is how YouTube is able to operate.

This article is evidence that the process is breaking down. It's an old maxim in computer security that attacks become more sophisticated over time as knowledge of the system grows and spreads among attackers. That is what we are seeing here. YouTube has built a system which is ultimately unsustainable at this scale. Over time these attacks will continue to escalate until only the very large channels (those they have the resources to support in person) and the very small channels (those beneath the notice of attackers) are left.
SpaceX's historic Demo-2 astronaut launch live on Wednesday
First of all, weather is much more than just rain.

One of the things that's monitored closely in the launch corridor are the upper atmospheric winds. Specifically the wind sheer in the upper atmosphere. Strong wind isn't typically a problem, but high wind sheer in the upper atmosphere can be problematic.

Additionally, they check the weather in the entire recovery corridor. That is, anywhere that the capsule could end up during an abort. They want to make sure that if the capsule ends up in the ocean, the weather permits recovery operations. An abort and safe splash-down doesn't do us much good if the astronauts then drown because recovery operations are impaired due to weather.

We're putting two lives on this rocket. A small delay is absolutely the right trade-off to reduce risk.
Right? Reading some of the comments here I thought I was going crazy - the suits look like they were made for a 2003 made-for-tv movie.

Boeing suits look WAY better imo
Client/server models existed before the web and HTML/JavaScript.

WPF is backed by the .NET framework. While the UI framework itself might not be easier than say "React", you have a stable language (C#) with a huge, stable, standard library for all kinds of things from Date manipulation to File IO. There are so many advantages to that ecosystem over JavaScript currently.

For example, I've been using numeraljs for number formatting in JavaScript. This is now un-maintained and contains a bug where if the number is below 1e-6 it shows up as NaN. So now I have to go source a new package for number formatting. This is so simple and core it's amazing I am searching for packages for it.

There is now Intl.NumberFormat but it has quirks also. But this is the crap you have to deal with on a daily basis with JavaScript.
How long will the approach to the ISS take?

Previous unmanned Dragon missions take ~1 day to approach and dock but I can't imagine they will subject the astronauts to the same.

There's no reason to expect any parallels between variolation with these two unrelated viruses.
+1 for OBS. It's very easy to use (add different inputs and click record). External monitor is a must. A good (as in > $20) microphone is worth investing in to avoid annoying noises, in particular computer fan noise which is likely to be an issue given you'll be recording video.

Just yesterday I was researching how to connect an external camera like Canon EOS M50 to use as a overhead projector (so you can show handwriting/diagrams like a whiteboard), and it seems possible using https://github.com/v002/v002-Camera-Live but I haven't tried yet.

One last recommendation (to the OP) — keep the videos short. Video is great as the introduction material and to show more complicated bits, but if you can use text + code samples, I think you students will appreciate.
I have never liked AMP and I really don't like this. I also find myself wondering if this has any security implications.

I mean if AMP effectively disguises the original URL could it not be used for phishing?

To be clear I know very little about AMP and if this is the case

Regardless it just adds complexity and makes it that much harder to teach people what is an acceptable URL when it comes to email links etc...
Day of the week might be a useful sync to keep, but for most people (certainly for me), the time of the day is way more important.

There is a risk that sleep/awake cycles float once rigid schedules disappear. This happened to me once in grad school during a semester when I had a fellowship, so did not have to teach and could just work on the thesis. While first thought was "why should I care, I can still work the same" this quickly resulted in a huge loss of productivity until I forced a correction. An hour or two each way is nothing (in fact may be good as one adjusts to a more natural schedule), but I would guard aggressively against switching to a nocturnal lifestyle. My 2c.
Exactly.

"I'm a really good developer, shipped software, why do I need to know how to invert a binary tree on a whiteboard?"

Well, first of all, it's all out there, and you have all the time in the world to prepare. Know how to invert a binary tree.

Aside from that, the things you actually need to know for these interviews (from my experience interviewing at several FAANGs) are basic dynamic programming, BFS, DFS, and basic tree algorithms. Nobody's going to ask you to implement Edmonds-Karp from memory. This is something a smart non-academic who learned ReactJS should be able to easily learn.

Theory matters. If you care about theory, and applying theory to problems you face, you care about making your abstractions correct, which leads to code that has fewer edge cases and is more maintainable.

The ability to check one's ballot status implies that the ballot is tied to one's identity. How does the system guarantee vote secrecy?

Edit. From Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Oregon#Balloting

Ballots packs are mailed to every registered voter 14 to 18 days before the election. When the ballot pack comes in the mail, it includes:

An official ballot
A secrecy envelope
A ballot return envelope

After filling out the ballot the voter then places the ballot in the secrecy envelope, then inside the return envelope and must then sign it in a space provided on the outside return envelope. This is then either mailed back through the US mail with first class postage, or dropped off at any County Elections Office or a designated dropsite. Ballots must be received in a County Elections Office or a designated dropsite by 8pm on Election Day (postmarks do not count). If the ballot arrives at the County Elections Office after 8pm on Election Day, it is not counted.

Once received, an Elections Official at the elections office where the ballot is received will compare the signature on the ballot return envelope to the signature on the voter registration card to verify that the voter is registered to vote. Once verified, the secrecy envelope containing the actual ballot is removed and polled with the other ballots. Once the "polls" close at 8pm on Election Day, the ballots are removed from their secrecy envelopes and counted.
No, this feels unnatural to me. I miss going to an office and interacting with people face to face instead of over the phone.

I’ve been spending most of my time cooped up in my apartment like a hermit, ordering food online and going outside on weekends. Every day feels the same. The sooner this ends the better.
Agreed. The entire system and the people involved must be open for audit and review.

Imagine what happens when $countryX realizes that bribing a few mailmen is even more cost effective than misinformation campaigns?
FWIW, iStat Menus also does fan control quite well, and the paid version is cheaper. (And it does a lot of non-fan-related things quite well, too.)
