It seems like we’re in trouble if we try to pursue a drug that has to be administered early in the disease process. Such a large percentage of people recover on their own that even a very effective drug has limited returns. And of course you need the infrastructure to detect the disease early and deliver huge supplies. It makes me worry that all antivirals we try will fail.
A guy at work installed Windows on his MacBook. He claimed it was the best Windows machine around. I'm not sure if his tune changed after Retina, because I really do have to hand it to Apple there: their high-DPI scaling is flawless.
AMP is MITM attack on the internet.

best and most succinct description that I've heard.
So how long until AMP is exploited in a wide range phishing campaign? I know that it is getting harder and harder to distinguish phishing emails from non-phishing emails, but this move is not helping at all. It clearly helps google though.

The annoying thing is, average user will not notice and/or care.
If you want to stick with what’s on your Mac, you can screen record with QuickTime. If you need to speak during the recording, there’s an option for capturing audio while you record the screen. Alternatively, you can record the screen with QuickTime, import the video into iMovie, then add an audio track after the fact. This can be a particularly nice approach if you’re good at scripting your way through a video, plus it allows you the ability to add some freeze-frames when you need more time to explain than you have video.
Exactly. And the dosage being given for COVID-19 patients is comparable to the dosage given for patients with chronic conditions such as lupus, only the COVID-19 patients are given the drug for something like a week, while the chronic patients are given the drug indefinitely.

Meanwhile, drugs like benzodiazepines are basically just dumped on a largely unwitting populace with the tacit blessing of these very same people who are fretting about hydroxychloroquine. There is more than simply the disinterested caution of science going on here.
It's amusing (from the comments) how much people are biased towards Apple.

1. Apple does it online, Google does it offline, hence Apple being slower is okay. But why is Apple's transcription more inaccurate then?

2. Google violates privacy because it used 411 data to train its models, hence its speech transcription quality is better. But Apple is the one doing it online, are we sure it's not using the voice data too, similar to how it has/was doing it with Siri?

It will sound like I am trying to defend/promote Google here, but that's very far from my intent.

As an iPhone user since the first iPhone, I just want iPhones to be better. I use iPhones for the same privacy concerns as many of you, but let's not give a pass to Apple. Let’s demand higher quality from them so that they spend the time, money and effort to improve. I don’t want to feel like I am compromising on a worse overall experience in favor of better privacy when i buy my next phone.

This concept is already enshrined in law, the concept of free harbor. So long as a service provider doesn't do their own curation, they are not held responsible for the content that is posted. However, if they do curate, then they are responsible.

Applying this to Twitter, Facebook et al. is not that big of a leap.

> the mortality rate comparable to seasonal flu when everyone was talking about 1-7%.

I don't ever remember anything close to 7% being seriously discussed. But also I don't see how people can say "close to seasonal flu" without being very selective with the data they pick. Bear in mind it's become clear that the CDC's seasonal flu figures where high-balled so you see a lot of of comparisons between an unrealistically high IFR for flu with their own favourite low methodology for COVID.

I searched 'google amp', and I can't really understand what it's supposed to do?

Can anyone explain what problem AMP is supposed solve, or what features it brings to the table?
Yup, it's amazing, the number of places they can sell ad space, or use to collect data to improve targeting. The games you play and the platforms you play them on will definitely help fine tune ad targeting. It's just Google clawing deeper into your personal life.

And I hate to admit, they're doing great. I recently tried some different search engines (DDG among others) and they just never give me results as accurate as Google does.
The 'site:' operator already works in DDG how you describe.

DDG is mostly Bing under the covers for organic results, so most of Bing's advanced [0] searches will work in DDG.

Edit: Interestingly enough I can't get the 'IP:' operator to work in either Bing or DDG.

> But my point is that most people don’t care.

Plenty do, they just also want a premium electric car despite the downsides, not because it has none. You just keep oscillating between your point being that "you" don't care, or "most people" don't care.

I think the biggest single disadvantage Tesla has compared to other manufacturers is the service network, either dedicated or partnerships. Even in places where there's no "dealership mafia" like the EU.

Outside of internet discussions where someone needed to convince themselves that everyone shares their point of view I never met a person who said "I don't care how much my personal car costs to repair, how long it takes, or how many hoops I have to jump through to do it". Definitely not after they faced the challenges. Some may afford to absorb the extra costs but this doesn't mean they don't care.

This was dated in March 31, 2020.

For a very rapidly developing global pandemic event, any news that's more than one month old could potentially proven to be false or irrelevant. For example, Hydroxychloroquine, CDC adivce on wearing Masks, ventilators demand, etc.
Or maybe Tesla couldn't ship car to Europe for delivery in April -- contrary to the VW group, whose sales are mostly local stock and who don't have to ship the cars across the Atlantic.

Also, Tesla delivers most its cars in Europe in the first month of the quarter. So comparing VW and Tesla over two periods with only partial quarter sales makes very little sense. Matthias Schmidt has known this for years, for some reason, he still prefer not to tell his audience about such a huge bias in the data. Weird.
> 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

This must be a regional thing. I would guess the majority of vehicleS on the road in Arkansas are more than 10 years old. My daily driver is a 2000 (built in 1999). Granted, it’s a Jeep Wrangler, so that’s probably not representative of the overall market... but my wife’s vehicle is a 2015 Kia Sorento and still looks and feels “new”.

Out of curiosity, how much do you drive your Tesla? I don’t commute every day but my Jeep has ~180k on it. The Kia has ~120k. We’re starting to consider upgrading the Kia, but unless we find a crazy deal it would surprise me if we kept it another five years and 100k+ miles.
Expecting a company as large and with as deep a history as Microsoft to change without looking schizophrenic while doing so is unrealistic. Microsoft is a supertanker. When it tries to do a 180 it makes really big circle and takes a really long time to do it.

Is the touch screen usable during lift-off / landing? I'm thinking gravity (4+g?) and trepidations is making it hard to touch a specific spot.

Lately it feels like Netflix's algorithm is "just show Netflix produced content". Maybe I'm being nostalgic but I really miss the old shooting star recommendation system where you rated content and got similar likes from other viewers.

> It seems like we’re in trouble if we try to pursue a drug that has to be administered early in the disease process.

This is the same for remedisivir, and also for ritonavir/lopinavir/ribavirin: they must be given within 7 days of symptom onset to be effective. In fact, the latter was deemed unsuccesful in a first paper, because it was given late, then it was reconsidered when given earlier during the disease.

This is not surprising, given how the disease works (outlined also by the Cell paper from yesterday): at some point the consequences of the highly altered inflammatory reaction greatly surpass the effects of the replication of the virus itself.

This calls more for extensive and early testing, IMO.
You might be coming at it from a purely technical angle, rather than thinking about the story. "Humans build giant machine to uncover the secrets of the universe" is an interesting story with mass appeal. The physics are irrelevant.

Sigh. Now every time I use Speech to Text there is a sound before the dictation. Before Catalina you could disable it in setting but now the setting is complete gone.

And Apple wanted Voice Over to replace this dictation. The problem is most Apps doesn't even support this type of input. Example I cant use Voice Over for dictation on WhatsApp, but I could do it with old double Fn Key Dictation.

Not to mention the voice over recognition by default uses Enhance Dictation which is offline, and its results is actually worst and slower than online dictation.

Basically the worst of both worlds. It is super annoying.
Having used (and been highly dissatisfied with) touch-based controls in cars I cannot imagine why touch-based controls for a spacecraft are a good idea. The ergonomics are terrible.

Switches can certainly fail, with potentially dire consequences (see the Apollo 14 abort switch failure). I would assume the number of failure modes for touch-based interface hardware are vastly more.

Touch controls are, no doubt, easily reconfigurable, which is probably great for profit margins. The idea of the human spaceflight industry applying "cost down" mentality to crew vehicles scares the heck out of me (and I'm not even flying in them). (I'm thinking about the Boeing MCAS mentality, but for spacecraft...)
It seems highly dependent on which service center and who is assigned to you. I places two orders early this year and the first one the guy didn’t really respond to my emails at all but the second one was very responsive and proactive.

Regardless they really really need to work on this.
I’d love to. I mean, I still enjoy doing the work. But, I wouldn’t even know where to find such a job, nor how to convince someone that I’m qualified.
It ends up on a used lot, at an auction, shipped overseas or in a junk yard depending on how long I drove it and what kind of shape it’s in. But I don’t care. The next owner isn’t my problem and I’m not going to give it a second thought. The fact is I’m not going to keep a Tesla long enough that the warranty expires and I can trade it or sell it for reasonable value in order to get a new one so the ability to get it repaired by a third party is irrelevant to me. What I’m arguing is that this is true for most Tesla buyers and Tesla doesn’t have to cater to buyers who demand right to repair because there are 100 other options in that space.
This article is woefully vague. There are multiple competing antibody tests that use different production methods. The Abbot Labs antibody test appears to exceed 99% accuracy which makes it significantly less susceptible to this problem. Additionally, the common expectation is that antibody tests should be quick and cheap and easy, possibly easy enough for people to perform themselves at home. This makes it possible to generate enough additional test data to correct for some inaccuracies.

Corruption Allegations Keep Growing in Paterson NJ Vote-by-Mail Election
Fully agree with this post. This administration does not have the public good at heart. Democracy must be sustained at any cost, and one particular political party (with power stolen through gerrymandering and stonewalling) led by one particular authoritarian (who is strongly supported by criminal foreign oligarchs and Americans who hate race mixing) is doing all it can to erode fundamental democratic institutions. That anyone supports these brazen power grabs is extremely disconcerting to me.

Just regular market competition.

One manufacturer announces a feature, other manufacturers think "oh crap, we don't want anyone buying a competitor rather than us because of that" so they implement it too ASAP.

I've been in a lot of product decision meetings. In my experience, there's no quicker or more effective way to justify building a feature than "our competitor has it".

I Googled "how to turn off amp results" and the top article is a 2017 article[1] that lists some workarounds, such as using duckduckgo or installing DeAMPify, "an Android app that lets you bypass AMP links so you can always load the original link." As far as a first-party way to disable it, the article says:

>"Late last year [2016], Google said that it’s working to let users disable AMP in Google search, but there doesn’t seem to be any official kill switch yet. Meanwhile, you can use any of the above workarounds to get around Google AMP pages."

Can any Googler chime in on why it would take more than 4 years to figure out the code to turn off a feature like AMP for signed-in users who don't want it? I would have thought that this is something anyone could do in 20 minutes, but I do realize that Google has thousands of highly paid and experienced engineers so maybe there is something that takes a lot longer, that I didn't realize. Could you shed some insight on what makes this difficult?

Relative to staying on the ground, at the very least
This is like when Apple said their Music platform would be more human curated rather than algorithms like competitors such as Spotify. But the reason why I love Spotify's recommendations and not Apple's is because Spotify focuses on algorithms and does them so well.

Same with Netflix, in my experience they truly know what I will like to watch, they seem to know what shows I'll love and what shows I won't love but will help pass the time, and seem to show it to me just when I want it.

I imagine it takes a lot of time and lots of past history and data on users to create those algorithms so when starting out the human curation method is required. And for companies like Apple, may be the long term strategy because the alogrithm method that YouTube and Spotify comes at the cost of potential tracking and privacy concerns.
This is a good point that I'd like to see someone with experience expand on, maybe in a blog post: why backend or DevOps is better for older devs than front end.

My TL;DR version would be that front end, especially JS, is a fast moving target. Backend dev is based more on time tested and reliable platforms that incentivize solid framework and design choices.
The message isn't clearly false. See this article for example;

Seriously. I am getting a "we have always been at war with East Asia" vibe from this latest uproar.

If you use Google search tool to look up "mail-in voting fraud" and limit the search to before April 1st, you get a lot of concerned articles from NPR, NY Times, Propublica, etc, that mail-in voting fraud is a problem to worry about, and that expanding mail-in voting might lead to more fraud (and they also think Republicans will benefit from this expansion): https://www.google.com/search?q=mail-in+voting+fraud&source=...

But then Trump tweets about and there is a 180 and now it is disinformation to claim that a massive increase in mail-in voting will lead to a massive fraud problems.

Two old quotes are interesting to me:

From NY Times in 2012:

> “Absentee voting is to voting in person,” Judge Richard A. Posner of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has written, “as a take-home exam is to a proctored one.”

From Pro Publica in March 2020 ( https://www.propublica.org/article/voting-by-mail-would-redu... ):

> “To move from a couple of thousand to a couple of million requires an entirely different infrastructure,” said Tammy Patrick, a former county election official who is now a senior adviser at the nonprofit Democracy Fund in Washington, D.C.

Just from those two quotes, it is not at all unreasonable to extrapolate and predict that massively increasing mail-in voting on a tight schedule is going to be a huge fricking problem. I don't know what the answer is, and I don't which party is going to benefit more. And even if you think Trump is wrong, he is still making a prediction that is based on real concerns, which is something that politicians do all the time, it is not a blatant error of fact.
