Maybe a pure logical programming language such as MiniKanren can be seen as non-linear? There you just read in all the rules you defined and (I think) it does not matter in which order you try to match the rules when you query the system.
A large part of this confusion has been caused by Tegnell and folkhälsomyndigheten (FHM).

Tegnell and folkhälsomyndigheten (FHM) have clarified their strategy as:

Keep the number of infected people down at any one time to not overwhelm the health system.

Groups at risk for severe disease should quarantine themselves.

But they have also repeatedly indicated that they don't want to stop the spread of infection completely.

And that they are not running a strategy aiming at herd immunity, though when most people have been infected there will be herd immunity.

That sort of communication leads to confusion, as the difference between a strategy that aims for herd immunity and one that will lead to herd immunity, at best is purely semantic.
It’s called sneezing and it sprays droplets everywhere. If you have close to 100% mask use then you can stop the infection rate faster than hand washing alone.

Postmodernism in literary analysis was the capstone. By that time, we had already finished postmodernism in logic and physics, establishing that there is no algorithm for truth, that truth is undefinable, that words are only symbols without inherent meaning, that there is no absolute coordinate system, that time is relative and only partially-ordered, and that the Planck limit prevents direct precise observation of subatomic particles. These are all claims held forward variously by postmodernist theorists, but by the time they were claimed, they had already been proven or incorporated into scientific theories.
> isolation of travelers from Italy and China began on February 21st, before any confirmed cases.

I think that was the case everywhere. What didn't work was that it wasn't just Italy (Wuhan was almost no travellers compared to Northern italy that had many thousands in that worst week alone).

Part of the problem was that a) While the travellers were told to isolate, especially if they had symptoms, you had Taxi drivers that took people from the airport who were already sick, caught the disease. It then exploded in the areas where taxi drivers live (where people live in very crowded apartments and often don't speak good swedish etc) and b) that it apparently came from many more places e.g. the US, Spain, France etc already at that time.

In hindsight, there should have been clear messaging that anyone returning from italy and several other locations should isolate, regardless of whether they had symptoms, and that they shouldn't take taxis or public transport when returning from the airport.

That's easier said than done though - if you do that you risk having thousands of sick people carrying skis, sitting at the airport not sure how to get home. That doesn't help either. So in hindsight, authorities should have arranged transports for these people too. But now as you can see it's becoming a pretty complex operation.

Many of the troll cases actually do trace back to a small time inventor, very often a failed small startup. They then sell their patents to various intermediaries which winds up in the hands of a ‘troll.’ So the original inventor does get paid, even if it’s an NPE doing the actual litigation against the big companies. The reason these trolls are so abhorrent is that they seek to maximize their economic value in the patent by trying to extend it as far as they can go, which gives them a bad reputation, but they play an important role in the system which can reward small time inventors. Big companies don’t really buy patents from small inventors any more, so the only route to monetization for an invention is through NPEs.
FWIW, a 10-day meditation retreat is a very accessible way to try a really different lifestyle for a short period. (You’ll probably want to wait to try it until COVID is less of a threat though.) If you want a specific recommendation, the Goenka retreats (dhamma.org) are free (donation-supported), exist worldwide and are identical everywhere.

At such a retreat, you should expect to give up technology and live according to Buddhist precepts for 10 days, and one of the major claims of meditation is that it will help you unlearn bad habits related to focus and distractions, which can be carried back to the world with you once you complete the retreat.
> There's no common official record on where someone lives in the US

When a US colleague transferred from our US office to our European office they were surprised and a little shocked that they were required to register their address with the local authorities. They felt that the government had no right to know where they lived.

For me, as a European, I was quite surprised about the opposite. How is it possible to have a functioning government without proper records about who lives where?

Only after the realization that the US does not keep records about who lives where did things like voter registration make sense to me.

A pandemic cannot be controlled, only mitigated. That's what one part of the definition of epidemic vs. pandemic.

What's alarming is that there isn't
sympathy or discussion of the way lockdowns are putting lives at stake, when control of the virus is an illusion.

It's natural to be alarmed at overly authoritarian responses, the justifications of which are diminishing as we get more information.

Sweden, as far as I understand, is doing very little authoritarian intervention, but are providing thre public information so they can make their own choices with respect to risks they want to take.
Not sure it's that simple. Massachusetts has a population of 6.7M and 7152 deaths (average age 82) with a lockdown.

Sweden has a pop. of 10M with 3K deaths.

Florida has a pop. of 20M with 2566 deaths and not much of a lockdown.

It seems to me that the death rate is a function of how well protected the elderly are and in particular if C19 has gotten into long term care homes as it has in MA (62% of MA C19 deaths in long term care homes) and I think Sweden, but Florida locked down its LTC homes at the beginning of March.

If the difference is big enough it's like adding 0.01 to 10. You'd need a lot of drones to influence the total noise level noticeably.

From my experience (Fimi 8 SE ~ 300g drone) the drone is annoyingly loud at < 5meters, and becomes practicaly silent at >50 meters (at least I don't hear it anymore).
Amazon certainly does not pay the lowest wages.

And wage disparities are only bad where they don't make sense. But at AMZN, they do. AMZN has both some of the least skilled workers in the world, and also some of the most skilled workers in the world, which unsurprisingly demand vastly different rates.

The requirements to be a warehouse worker at AMZN are basically:

1. Know how to read

2. Be physically fit.

...which is a pretty low bar. You don't even need to be clever with your hands or anything, so sweatshops in Bangladesh require more skill. Meanwhile, the people building infra at AMZN are some of the most intelligent, highest skilled people on earth. And I'm sorry, but until we live in a post-scarcity economy, the former group is always going to get paid very little, and the latter group is going to get paid a lot. Nothing else is tenable. You can ignore supply/demand with Communism, but Communism clearly doesn't work in practice as long as there is scarcity.

Personally, I think UBI is a great solution to this problem. But the idea that AMZN is perpetrating an injustice by not paying unskilled, easily replaceable workers at anywhere close to the rate they pay highly-skilled, hard-to-replace workers is just silly.

That's exactly the point. There is more subjectivity and nuance, and the person marking it is forced to engage in a kind of dialog with the actual code and see it for itself instead of relying on some limited objective heuristic which has no capacity to understand the student and what the student is misunderstanding.
I'm 56, so yes. ;-)

But in terms of ditching those things after getting used to them, it's only happened when my family went on overseas trips.

A problem for me is that the computer is not just a connection with the outside world, but has become a medium for thinking. Take away my Jupyter, and you've removed half of my brain.

But I've never used social media, so I have less to give up when I walk away from a screen. Unless this counts as social media, which it probably does in a sense.
Can't you just plug 2 keyboards, with 1 of them GMK based?
AFAIK it has not changed.
Only by accident, for about a week (that's definitely extended for me). We went on holiday to a remote Scottish island and stayed on a camp site that allegedly had WiFi: well, they did, but not working WiFi.. Oh well, I'd brought my 4G phone, and .. no signal. So a trip into the only town where I was told "only one carrier had a tower there", so I bought a PAYG SIM only to find it was the old-style full size SIM and no, they didn't have anything more modern.

So, a week without..
I spent 6 months without a computer or a cell phone while doing a semester overseas in college. It was a conscious decision to not bring my laptop, but it wasn’t as hard back then as it is today to function without internet (this was over a decade ago).

I did have access to computers for schoolwork via the computer lab, and used those to handle personal tasks as well. But it needed to be a conscious decision to head into campus and use them. A public library could serve in a similar function.

One negative thing that I vividly remember from those days was having to rely on paper maps and getting horribly lost at times. I don’t miss that at all.

Overall it was probably the biggest period of personal growth in my life. That probably had more to do with the fact that I was experiencing life in a new culture for the first time, but having no screen to retreat to probably motivated me to get out and meet more people.

I too am considering a future that is far less digital than my current lifestyle.
There is no purpose for this. I was in the protests and amid the looting in LA. You’re being photographed for dozens of different angles.

I think we'll be admitting international students soon, with testing and at least a 14-day quarantine.

We are already admitting film crews for certain TV and film productions, with a 14-day quarantine.

If we can sustain being COVID-free, that makes NZ pretty attractive for those activities.

I don't think we'll be admitting tourists unconditionally until we have vaccinated most of our population. But our tourism sector will probably limp along OK with outbound tourism switching to domestic. Also we will hopefully be opening a "travel bubble" with other countries that have beaten COVID19, probably Australia first.

That's just how I phrased it 18 hours ago. The thing I find bad about it is not that exceptions have to be declared in the interface, that's good, it's that every implementations will have to declare them also, even in the case that a particular implementation has no failure mode.

Oh please, this philosophical stuff is unnecessary. Cyro-EM is about a decade old and is just an alternative to X-Ray Crystallography for elucidating the structures of proteins. This article describes a way to improve the resolution of Cyro-EM, matching it to X-Ray Crystallography. The biggest bottleneck of X-Ray Crystallography is the production of protein crystals which is not necessary with Cyro-EM.

I hear you on the /r/cheesemaking, although for me it is gardening. Unfortunately I spend most of my waking hours on a computer for both work and play.

> Programs are not designed to be readable, they are designed to solve a problem.

No. Code should be readable. When a code is fresh only you and God knows what it does and how it does. 6 month later, only God knows how your code works. You need to re-read and understand it to grasp it again.

Unless you marked all magic with big comments blocks or you wrote your code explicitly, it'll take some headache-inducing hours to re-understand it.

> The first goal is to get the correct program, and only after, it is important to make the code readable. A readable code that doesn't work is not worth much.

Again no. You can leave a non-working but readable code overnight and understand the problem tomorrow morning. You can't remember random noise after a good night's sleep (unrelated: This is why regex is hard for our brains).

I'm psyched to drop dependencies too. Apple would be very high on that list if a history of power moves like this hadn't prevented me from accepting an Apple dependency in the first place.
It feels to me that the screen almost becomes perception after heavy usage. Like navigating a device and the apps within it becomes just another part of the world that we can interact with. And when we use a device we can go almost instantly from a thought to executing that thought by opening an app, making a google search etc. So it's almost as if the fact that things "lag" in the physical world, that it requires us to move and force things and use energy to action things is a positive. That friction between thought and outcome maybe is something that we need.

I grew up in the US, and learned on standard US qwerty. After I moved to Europe, I found myself needing to type French, German, and Romanian words enough that I set up XCompose and I've been very happy with it. You just pick one key to be your compose key (AltGr is the classic choice, but menu, right windows, and caps lock are also good choices), and then you can hit Compose, accent, letter in sequence to type one of the "special" characters.

As a bonus, you can actually configure your own sequences for letters that you need often. For example, I have Compose ,s,h bound to ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯, Compose,g,<any letter> bound to produce Greek characters, and Compose,t,q bound to my username.

XCompose is available on Linux using `setxkbmap -option compose:ralt`, on Windows using WinCompose, and there's probably a way to do it on OSX but I refuse to support that particular company on moral grounds so you're on your own.

I note the continued comments that are unable to believe that this virus can be contained. While I am highly skeptical that India will be able to keep cases down. Other wealthier countries certainly can.

Since I live in Australia, and hence in a country that has effectively eliminated community spread. I would like to confirm that we did actually stop the virus and the government numbers are absolutely real. Lockdown is basically over, people can socialise again, people are hiring, within-state (but not inter-state) travel is now allowed almost everywhere. People are no longer scared.

Vietnamese here, we totally trust the number because:

- Every cases are documented and published on the medias (yes, I know that's not a good thing for privacy) to make contact tracing easier.
- Vietnam is an authoritarian country with extensive public security apparatus so tracing and quarantining is easy. There have been cases that someone got quarantined because her friend who lives in other country tested positive, and that's after she returned to Vietnam.
- Also the Communist Party of Vietnam has everything to lose if they can't handle this, so they are serious at containing covid 19. They even used cyber attacks on China to gain intel on how serious Ncov is back in December last year.
- Most importantly, wartime like mass mobilization helped a lot. Every people did their part, the military set up quarantine camps and check points, disinfecting hotspot. The people cooperated with the guideline: avoiding going out, wearing mask or stay in quarantine if their areas has positive cases (the government will provided food and other necessities).
- They do everything to keep the number of deaths at zero: The worst case, patient 91, was recently detached from ECMO after 2 months, his lung recovered from 10% to 40% capacity and he has woken up from coma. The cost for his treatment is $200k and counting, and he isn't even a Vietnam national!

But that's how the internet works. If not this site, then it'll be another, and another, and another... You are just one URL away from violence, porn, racism, drugs, you name it. Are you going to ask all those millions of sites to put age restrictions and barriers up too? Governments have tried and failed. I'd recommend directing your energy in to setting up whitelists and/or other monitoring software and teaching your daughter to become internet savvy, because what you are trying to do is fight a battle that you simply cannot win.

Personally, putting up any sort of age test is just another annoyance and barrier to entry that makes me more likely to give up trying the site and turn my attention elsewhere.
