Yeah does that. Also in a small number of patients causes a fatal neurological syndrome months to years after infection. Est 1:2500 to 1:10000 no one really knows.

Lot of these diseases have far milder courses in children than adults. Polio I think is also often asymptomatic. Mumps can cause sterility. Even consider after the Spanish Flu in 1918 there was a 10 year long epidemic of sleeping sickness. That might, might not be related.

Also now I'm in my 50's I have half a dozen friends who used to be healthy and vibrant who now appear to have some sort of chronic fatigue syndrome. Old age? Post viral syndrome? No idea but makes me nervous. And there are the two older people I knew who had lingering effects from polio who both died in middle age.
Look up an ENT and see if you're a candidate for a balloon sinuplasty. You can thank me later.

I also suffered from near chronic sinus infections. Got one, and haven't had to get anti-biotic to handle one in years.

This article leaves much to be desired. It should be titled "Why are Americans Having an Emotional Reaction to Masks?" - it asks a lot of the same questions going on through our minds about American culture and acceptance/protest of complying with public health policy without providing compelling reasons for why this is a uniquely American phenomenon.

For example:

>That is true at least within the context of American culture, admittedly an outlier, both for its paranoia and for its infatuation with popular culture.

Is America an outlier for its paranoia? What is the basis of this claim? Is it more infatuated with its popular culture compared to other countries? I do not know and would love to be convinced either way.

I sure wish it were wrong. If macOS’s text rendering primitives could be used asynchronously or concurrently the situation would be significantly better.

Try this from my experience. During the day, you may not notice, sometimes you would clench your teeth slightly, that’s why you may not notice it. When ever you start to notice, open your month wide a few time for a few seconds. And keep doing that, it helped to reverse habits. Would take a while to reverse the longer you had it, but be persistent.
Do that many people use maximised windows on 16:9 or greater screens? Maybe it’s just because all my early experience was on 4:3, but I’d never maximise a browser window on a modern screen.

> But language __ISN'T__ precise and that's why we are required to understand one another in "good faith." I've said in many comments that communication has 3 parts: what is meant, what is said, and what is heard. Dr. Suss and Lewis Carol exemplify this in their literature.

Agreed, good faith is definitely required in a healthy debate, and I quite liked those comments and communication model. I'll be looking through those references in future, thanks!

And yes language is a mess, however, just because language is not a perfect construct or even as good as we expected it to be, I don't think we should relativize too much and put too much of the onus of the discussion on the reader. (like I've seen in threads here, some could rationalize away some words like "Abolish ~= Reform, so I'll just join this side of the protest, I'm sure that's what they meant... despite the pitchforks and torches...")

In a healthy discussion I think it is as much of the sender's (speaker, writer) job to make sure he is understood as is the receiver's (listener, reader) job to make sure he understands. Awareness of such models as the ones you referred would already be quite good for most discussions. Although I suspect on most media we end up seeing two people having concurrent ideological monologues rather than a discussion with intentful listening and non-manipulative speaking...

Specifically for "Abolish VS Defund VS Reform", I think we can do better and I don't think those 3 words really differ that much between dictionary and everyday language, and if I'm wrong and they do differ, the issue still remains, do we remove the system entirely, change its resources or change its behavior.

> ...any linguist will tell you that words only mean what a society agrees that they mean (note the difference between "a society" vs "the speakers of that language"). We see this quite frequently. An perfect example is "capitalism" and "socialism," if you're go to is the dictionary then you're probably extremely frustrated with how most everyone uses these terms and will notice that different groups use the same words to mean completely different things!

BTW, another couple of perfect examples: "fact" and "literally"...

Presumably you can paper over this deficiency by running mosh(1) or another such program as the shell, which has its own internal PTY, where the server end computes a stream of visual PTY delta events, and then begins reducing that stream into a series of “frames” (single aggregate visual changes), with the frame rate determined by a negotiated line rate between the client and server.

A mosh(1) client reading at 9600 baud will just receive fewer, likely-full-screen batches, where each batch has likely seen many full overwrites of its buffer before emission. Sort of like a VoIP client over a slow connection will just receive a low-FPS series of keyframes, with I-frames being unlikely.
Anything specific, or just calm reading etc?
Well, has he been proven wrong in his assessment of the situation thus far? I found myself supporting his side during the original debacle but also kind of wrote him off as a bit of a crank because he went on a sort of national tour about this supposed problem. Today, though? It's pretty damn clear he was calling it correctly. See the ACA5 vote in California today, for a very timely example.
Could the longer linger times result from an impedance mismatch where people are trying to parse the page to find the actual content?

That would be doubly evil in my opinion. You're preying on people trying to understand something to get more impressions if that's the case.
> A lot of labor practices improved because exponential productivity growth made that a practical decision.

No, they didn't. In some cases productivity gains may have been a necessary prerequisite, but it was never the proximate cause—labor action to wrest better conditions from capital was always the proximate factor.
Exactly correct. I would go a bit further even though: not only is it possible to deliberately engineer the way the economy functions to achieve specific goals, but this has already been done and the supposedly naturally self designed, self regulated free market economy is anything but. Rather it has been engineered to benefit someone, it’s just not you and me but a small percentage of excessively rich people.

I recently finished a popular dental alignment program, where you have to wear aligner trays in your mouth for 22 hours a day. It solved my clenching problem, but I’m not sure why. I suspect it’s because the aligners created a Small gap between my bottom and top teeth, which is making it very hard to clench now. With the aligners on, clenching became very uncomfortable too because you feel like you’re going to snap the damn things.

Probably a bit of a stretch to pursue dental aligners to fix your bruxism, but hey!

Lots of things which worked fine for a decade, don't work now, or aren't good ideas now. If they want to reject the present, and in this context reject updates, they can still use XP.

It's also a bit weird to say Windows 10 which is on something like a billion computers worldwide, doesn't "work fine".

And it's a bit weird to suggest that a small business with a handful of machines, is extremely disadvantaged by having a Windows Feature Update once a year, after being prompted for it and ignoring it for months.

What exactly is unpredictable about this? It's not voodoo or random, feature updates have come out every Spring and Fall for the past five years, as it was documented that they would, and the Autumn one is a long-term-supported one.

One counterintuitive thing to consider: poor air quality and allergies can contribute to bruxism by making it more difficult to breathe thru your nose. I fixed my allergies via immunotherapy and air quality via a filter and my bruxism dropped dramatically.
It's hard to say that this Great Pause actually "worked", since the governments of the world had to dump trilions into stimulus to make businesses not simply die. We and our children and our childrens' children will be paying for this with our taxes for decades to come.

If we have another Pause in the next few months, then it will be the body blow that completely cripples the economy, especially in the US. I can't see many small businesses surviving on a fraction of the income, especially when their margins are razor thin already.
For sure. Let me clarify a bit -- I used this specific course as an example, but I am talking about the novel field of Progress Studies in general. The entire _field of study_ that this course introduces suffers from the problem I described above.
The "Economic Revolution" of the title is fascinating and exciting:

> About 35 percent of food expenditures—more than $2.5 trillion globally—is up for grabs as consumers shift to dining at home and experimenting with new buying channels.

This could be the end of cruel factory farms and the resurgence of smaller, healthier and more humane farming.

Check out "SPIN farming": it stands for "Small-Parcel INtensive", a kind of turn-key farming business that is meant for small (down to 1/4 acre) urban farms. Combine that with "Syntropic farming" and you've got the makings of a economic revolution.

> resources can only ever grow quadratically.

Growth can be cubic if you're expanding outwards at a constant speed and assuming (on a large enough scale) an even distribution of matter in space.
> There is a cultural assumption that by looking someone in the eye we can tell if they are lying. So phone is not good enough. It has to be phone+video.

I only had to Google for a minute to find plenty of instances where courts will allow testimony over the phone (no video) and even by letter, and nowhere did I see "cultural assumptions" like determining truth by being able to look into someone's eyes mentioned as relevant.

Show me actual case law to the contrary or I'm calling BS on your claims.
That does sound enticing!
Some do. Some don't. It is an area where the judge and accused have some latitude depending on the nature of the testimony. If the arguement is made that the hijab is being used to conceal something, a judge will order it removed.
The entire point of civil society is to allow people to exist with one another. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that wearing a yellow shirt in public instantly kills 5% of the population. I think that anyone would agree that it would be a good law to make it illegal for someone to wear yellow shirts. In fact we would probably make it just as illegal as pointing a gun at someone and shooting them in cold blood. Because, well, that's what you would be doing wearing a yellow shirt (except even more people would die from the shirt).

So if society's main goal is to make it so that we can live peacefully amongst each other. Then by golly we should have the ability to make it illegal to walk around with a yellow shirt on. In fact it would be so insane to put on a yellow shirt we should have no fear in telling cops (the ones that survive the yellow shirt murderer) to arrest, incarcerate for life said person.

Now, I get that society is hard to change. In this so called Yellow Shirt Means Death world, the meaning and outcome of wearing a yellow shirt has existed forever. So it would be ingrained in everyone. Yellow shirts = fucking bad news.

So let's alter this and present a challenge: Yellow shirts didn't start causing this problem until March of 2020. And to make it even stranger, the death happens 30 days after being in the presence of a yellow shirt. But still 5% die. And now you have all sorts of wacko people that don't fucking care and put on yellow shirts anyway.

Some percentage of society has never seen one of these people die, so they don't believe the yellow shirt causes it. Some of them wearing yellow shirts may have killed people but the person that died 30 days later so it has no effect on them. They don't even know they killed someone.

Anyway, if you didn't read between the lines, I'm saying arrest and jail those that don't wear a mask - because at this point, everyone knows what happens.
Loss of smell was mainly how I suspected I had a Covid - later confirmed with an antibody test. Stay safe people.
This all seems irrelevant. Suppose, at a trial, a defendant made a motion to compel a plaintiff’s witness to remove their mask. This would not necessarily be a problem: the witness could appear by closed circuit video, behind glass, or merely a respectable distance from everyone else. There is no reason that seeing a witness’ face should involve any material risk of COVID-19 transmission.

On the flip side, you certainly have no right to see anyone’s face in public. If you go somewhere very cold, many people will wear scarves or other face coverings to stay warm. This does not result in any sort of breakdown of social order.
If you're blacklisting tokens at any point in your application, you then need to check this blacklist.
I can ask that we as a society enable people to purchase their own homes.

Given around 40% of Americans rent their homes, 3.5% profit is clearly enough to incentivize rent-seeking.
One thing I love about javascript is the ability to quickly and easily assign/remove whatever fields I'd like:

let a = {};
a.somename = "some val";
a.newname = "some val";
a["a computed name"] = "some other val";
delete a.somename;
if (a.neverseenthisbefore) {
log("just doesn't log!");
}

Python dictionaries requiring the ["fieldname"] syntax or .get to avoid KeyErrors on undefined keys has always pained me when whipping something short together. Similarly, here in Wren it seems like Maps require substantial and strict syntax, and Classes are not meant to allow definition of arbitrary Fields at runtime.

That one small thing is a key piece of flexibility I want when experimenting. I shouldn't need to write a getter and a setter down in a distant file on the correct place in a class hierarchy just because I chose to latch a bit of temporary state onto an object while I do a bit of work.

In serious code for serious business, that kind of freedom and nonchalance can be quite dangerous. But when I'm having fun and just trying something, which is the only context where I'm really trying new languages out for the moment, the guard rails chafe!

(still, this looks like a pretty neat little language)
I think this is one of the great side tragedies of the coronavirus. The US generally had a lot of trust in these federal agencies. They've always been susceptible to political interference, as demonstrated now. But it's never (?) gotten to the point it has now, where you simply can't trust the CDC to provide accurate information, or information that every other country has accepted months ago.

Will the next administration provide a V-shaped recovery in trust? Or is it just gone forever?

The Silence of the Quandts: The history of a wealthy German family (BMW)
An eye opener to all BMW owners ----

A remarkable film, The Silence of the Quandts, which won the Hans Joachim Friedrichs prize for television journalism, deals with the unscrupulous rise of one of Germany's richest and most influential families. The Quandts own 46.6 percent of the auto manufacturer BMW, have an estimated fortune of €20 billion and are implicated in the crimes of Hitler's Nazi regime. Today, against the background of a financial and economic crisis that evokes the events of the 1930s, the film is of particular relevance.

The Quandts owe their wealth directly to their support of the Nazi regime and the bloody exploitation in the concentration camps—something the family is unwillingly to discuss. No family member has ever been indicted for the crimes that occurred in their company-owned concentration camps, nor has the family paid any compensation to the victims who survived.
Look, I agree. I shouldn't be forced to do something for someone who makes me uncomfortable, even if it's something that they can't change, and which doesn't materially impact me in any way.

But at the same time, do you not see how this reinforces existing disparities in opportunity and social acceptance? If you have a better solution than mandating that businesses don't discriminate, I'm all ears. However, if you simply allow businesses to freely discriminate, then the world will only become more unfair over time.

>Not sure whats stopping us from creating a really nice Linux UI ecosystem. Perhaps the state of Linux laptop drivers, mainly the touchpad ones.

Only one laptop where I use a touchpad, but I've had no issues with it. Optimus was a bigger issue, but Pop worked with it oob.

I think the bigger issue with the Linux UI ecosystem is that everyone has a different idea on what it should be. I've found that with distro's that have opinionated defaults (Zorin, elementary, Pop!_OS to some extent) almost everything is a consistent UI.

I would even say my Pop laptop has a nicer/more consistent UI than win10 oob.
Statistical mechanical (Boltzmann) entropy and informational (Shannon) entropy are not the same thing, but they are closely related. Subtleties are important.

The Shannon entropy of the distribution of the positions and velocities is precisely the Boltzmann entropy of the same, but there is no statistical mechanical analog to the Shannon entropy of a (non-Boltzmann) distribution, to my knowledge.
