I have done more research about the 6 hospitals, my initial claim of "6 small hospitals" is wrong, they at least include the biggest two, Wuhan Union and Tongji.

The claim "far away from the wet market" still holds, these hospitals are not in the Jiangan District, and 5 of them are on the other side of the Yangtze River.
In the context of the question being asked, I don't think this makes sense. You're not going to change the world by switching to some new framework.
Perhaps, but I've had the flu several times myself and seen many cases in others. This sure didn't look like a flu. I should add that in this particular case the patient's doctor diagnosed her with Covid-19 on a video call based on symptoms. And the patient had a current flu immunization (I know the flu shot isn't completely effective but even when it doesn't exactly match the viral strain it usually mitigates the symptoms).
> You might find this a bizarre criticism but In Java, Ruby, Elixir, Rust strings are all Unicode with escape hatches for manually handling byte arrays (that could be C strings).

Java's strings have noticeable misbehaviour for astral characters, and since the language is built around a single hardcoded string type, almost all Java programs inherit this. Ruby had to have a major migration to fix its string support. Rust is much, much younger than Haskell (so it hasn't had to go through a migration yet) and is famous for having at least 6 different string types.

I don't need you or anyone to apologize to me personally. The only issue is whether you'll abide by the site guidelines in the future.

Interpretation is part of applying the rules, but I don't think there's so much variance in how we interpret them. Something like that gets pretty regular and tedious after you've done it a hundred thousand times.

Hey,

Not sure if you are comfortable with R or Python, but you can look at the code here: https://codeocean.com/capsule/1887579/tree/v1

They do not seem to be taking cultural or demographic information into account. A lot of the data is sourced from the Johns Hopkins data set and fed into an SRI type model, with some data about when and how strict lockdowns where.

It is actually pretty sloppy to be given so much weight.
> Why is it almost incoherent?

What are "manifestations about the lockdown"?

> I am not saying they are not recognizing the risk (I don't know), but that, as far as I can see, there is no discussion about these risks for most people (the general public), which I find odd w/r to the start of the pandemic.

Well, two have been linked.

Thank you. I think in this case you are probably right.
It depends on what you mean by highly.

There are some direct biological 'g' factors that you can think of. One would be sleep quality, another brain volume. Also, brain damage events like concussions, and probably anesthesia, affect both athletic and mathematical performance. Thus, you should also expect there to be kinds of genetic and congenital developmental deficiencies that do the same.

Looking at relationships of reaction time/IQ as well as target practice/ASVAB score, they have a stronger relationship at the low end of the spectrum. Among kids in the 90% decile, you shouldn't see much of a relationship! They've got low difference in 'g' factor, I guess. But if you go down to the 20-50% range, you get, to increasing degrees, all those malcoordinated kids on the playground who seem like they were born with a pre-concussed brain.

Obviously, parental mating patterns affect some of the overall correlation, but the way the relationship is stronger at the lower end indicates the presence of true 'g' factors.
One note on the security side of things -- if you're interested in seeing what a truly hardened k8s/GKE configuration looks like, check out the Vault examples:

https://learn.hashicorp.com/vault/kubernetes/k8s-reference-a...

https://github.com/sethvargo/vault-on-gke

In summary, for your security-critical workloads you're going to want to put them in their own cluster; treat k8s in this case as an API for updating the code that's running on your VMs. (Except your VMs can run a stripped-down read-only OS like Container-OS or CoreOS).

Stuff like this is always so fascinating to me: the idea that someone's ability to do their job is worth fighting over in court -- nevermind the cultural costs of bringing someone new into a executive position at a company.
Thinking in terms of purpose helps understanding. Just gotta keep in mind that some things don't really have a purpose. They may have arisen randomly, be vestigial or be a side effect of something beneficial.

Guidelines for Effective Feedback- Takeaway from Session by Team Simon Sinek
Such an ignorant article, with the usual undercurrent of sycophantic nippohphilia. I'm so tired of sycophants on the internet pointing at some Japanese cultural 'thing' they have observed, in this case from reading someone else's blog, and presenting it to the world as though it is some unique discovery from the treasure trove of wonderful Japanese eccentricities.

This is not exclusive to Japan. Learning to write in also China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and Thailand to begin with, stroke order matters. They carry over the same instruction technique when they teach English.

How to Avoid the ‘Competency Trap’
You know you're cool when you need a lawyer to change jobs.

I think it would be reasonable to allow non-competes, however, the company should have to keep paying you your full compensation (salary, stock, bonuses, etc) for as long as they keep you from being employed.

Sure, give the old employer veto power for a new job as long as they keep paying them for the lockout period.

Yes. Things are complex and multidimensional. But projections to lower dimensional spaces help us grasp it. Even if they distort the complex thing somewhat. If you see enough projections you can get the idea and some intuition about multidimensional thing. Much more than you could achieve just trying to see it in its full complexity at once.

I just started digging into Bulma, and ran into https://github.com/jgthms/bulma/issues/1836 . It turns out you shouldn't use Bulma if you actually want h1, h2, and similar semantic elements to do anything. The default Bulma styles make h1, h2, and various other elements all look identical to normal body text, unless they have Bulma CSS classes applied to them.

On top of that, it uses CSS classes for things like "this button is rounded" (https://bulma.io/documentation/elements/button/#styles) or "this tab bar has borders around its tab labels" (https://bulma.io/documentation/components/tabs/#styles).

The kind of CSS framework I expected was one that provides semantic classes for things like tab bars and similar, and then themes can decide things like "my tab bars should have borders around their tab labels". (And, as a side effect, the CSS would also be smaller, since it only needs a style for "tab bar", and not "tab bar without is-boxed" and "tab bar with is-boxed".)
What if we're whitelisting or blacklisting people for the privilege to attend an organized crime conference? Which is good? Which is bad?

The terms have bupkis to do with good and bad.
Rappi's Woes to Becoming an Unicorn
I don't get why this is downvoted.
My problem with this is the same as every other such systems: changes are tracked at the cell or row level, and not transaction level. So if I issue a SQL query fixing a column, for example changing 'na' values to NULL, and someone simultaneously makes changes that make a cell 'na', after a merge those cells will still be 'na'.

So in reality, every time I merge something I need to go over and manually re-apply my bulk queries if needed. While the UX is much better than putting CSV files in Git, Dolt does not have a better understanding of data than Git, and does not help with common data transformations either.
Seems like you are a thoughtful engineer who can also make sure you don't make any fundamental design flaws while building these systems well. Whenever I have seen kubernetes fail it's often also because the engineer(s) who built it were not thoughtful at all and often didn't fully understand what they were doing. Perhaps k8s's failing is it makes people who dont know enough think that they do.
Very well said! I might add, some people seem to look for things to get offended by just to bamboozle others into thinking they deserve special treatment and as a result, gain some political power.
This is a very old tradition in the valley. I forget but I think the law in CA was changed sometime because these suits were almost always dismissed.

The TMRCA calculations would have ample information to provide a statistically accurate date without a single Chinese genome at this point. Those early Chinese genomes merely act as a validation that the genetic clock is "ticking" how the model(s) estimates that it did.

Something to point out here: the guy Brian reported to is based in California, where non-competes are held to be unenforceable.

If non-competes are truly as strategically necessary as Amazon says they are, why on earth would they hire such a senior executive in a jurisdiction that wouldn't uphold them?
> the way I see it, social justice continues to mean the same thing as it always did: respect for the rights of all minorities, and a genuine desire to see an end to oppression and of the long-standing effects of oppression for all.

I'm sure that's the way they see their own actions, but not everyone agrees with that framing. I'm guessing the pejorative sense comes from the tactics sometimes employed, and the way social justice goals are sometimes twisted:

1. Destroying individual lives via doxxing and twitter harassment (twitter mobs), rather than tackling powerful people or systems who benefit from or perpetuate systemic bias.

2. A hyper-focus on token gestures with no real effect, like changing technical jargon.

3. Moving the goalposts by redefining basic social justice terms in order to manufacture consent. For instance, sexism and racism.

4. The sometimes violent suppression of speech, and even basic scientific facts, with which they disagree.

And more, some of which very much has the flavour of "the ends justify the means", where the ends are a moving target.

For a contemporary analogy, the pejorative view might be that SJWs are to real fighters for social justice as rioters and looters are to protestors. Maybe some of the rioters and looters are just so angry at the systemic injustice that they believe that violence is their last resort, but plenty of them are just opportunists.
He does not put it that way explicitly, but what he is saying is that he hopes we do not gain knowledge that he would would regard as diminishing the likelihood of his hope for humanity being realized. Note that gaining that knowledge would not actually change humanity's chances for colonizing the galaxy; it would only make that probability more clear to Bostrom.

> Victory for a white agent feels like brightness, purity, exaltation — a clean breeze sweeping across a high plain under a bright sun. Defeat feels like watching the corrosion creep forward, the great monuments crumble, or the enemy pouring over the gates, knowing that the goodness of the world is unraveling.

> Victory for a black agent feels hefty, exultant, and satisfying, like a bag of gold coins or a heavy hammer — it’s the feeling you have when you know that the game is won, even if you haven’t yet crossed the finish line. Defeat, on the other hand, feels like aging or imprisonment — like scrabbling against an unscalable wall behind which your dreams are turning to ash and trickling away, leaving you with nothing.

We also know that China is willing and able to lock down whole swathes of the country to prevent viral spread. If it appeared earlier on the scale of what happened in Wuhan, and local politicians didn't fuck up, the Party would have locked down wherever that was.
I don't think you can use _refinement types_ for this, at least not as of now (e.g. you can't do {.requires validEmail(email).}), but you can use distinct types[1] in nim to model what you want:

type Email = distinct string

Now Email is a type that is incompatible with string, even though its runtime representation is a string (i.e. no additional overhead). To convert a string to an Email, you can call Email("a"). In real-world code, you would call that constructor only in a few "safe" functions:

# I'm raising an exception, but you could use an option or a result type
proc validateEmail(str: string): Email =
if email.contains("@"):
return Email(str)
raise newException(InvalidEmail, "not valid")

Then, in your client code you can have:

proc createUser(email: Email, password: Password) =
...

And the type system guarantees that you only call createUser with "Email"s, not plain strings. Of course, you have to be dilligent not to use the Email constructor directly and instead use the validateEmail function to create "Email"s.

[1]: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#types-distinct-type

EDIT: The sibling comment mentioned io-ts.

The pattern for doing this in io-ts (and TypeScript in general) is very similar to Nim, although they call it "branding"[2] as it abuses the structural type system to simulate nominal typing.

I agree there is a lot of evidence that washing hands reduces the spread of viruses. However I haven’t read anything that measures the percentage of transmission of corona viruses via contact or fomites.

We obviously should wash hands regularly and well. Even a 5% reduction for a simple action is really worthwhile (and hand washing is clearly critical in a healthcare setting).

My main beef is that in my country I think there has been too much attention paid to hand washing and fomites, and not enough information given on enclosed spaces or mask usage. The turnaround on mask usage is a classic example of seemingly obvious misinformation. Another classic is the news clips of government employees in Asian countries spraying roads and buildings - powerful images that misdirect.

Interesting. Wonder if they did brain scans on people taking morphine to see if the same areas were affected. If so, couldn't we narrow "mindfulness of pain" to that section of the brain?
I appreciate that you took time to collect the tweets. I certainly found them interesting and wouldn't have found them on my own.

Definitely add a disclaimer next time, though.
The SKIP method is indeed a modern invention. It was invented by Jack Halpern and used in his Kanji dictionaries which were published by Kodansha and Kenkyusha - I guess this is where the 'single publisher' idea is coming from.

These dictionaries are all 'Learner's dictionaries', and I'm not sure if SKIP was ever used in a dictionary aimed at native speaker - although it is probably the best method for paper-based Kanji lookup.

The more traditional stroke-count based lookup, OP was referring to is probably the radical+stroke count lookup, which is of Chinese origin and considerably older[1]. Using that system, you would first find out the kanji's radical (部, basically just a "part" in Japanese), find the radical in the index, count the remaining number of strokes in the kanji and then find the kanji.

Both the radicals themselves and the kanji listed below each radical heading in the index are ordered by stroke count, which qualifies this system as stroke count ordering.

This system is unfortunately much more confusing than SKIP (especially for learners), since there is a good chunk of kanji where the radical is not apparent, some radicals have multiple variants - and of course you'd have to first learn all the 214 standard radicals in the first place.

Honestly that's how I figured it worked anyway. Popularity contest. Even the less significant confrences seem to just be platforms where "influencers" (Twitter verified personalities in leading roles at popular tech companies with barely any code in their repos) scratch each others back and swap followers. It was always my understanding that confs were a place for networking with other people just for that purpose. Maybe it's because I'm on the East Coast and all the serious confs are on the west coast.
