Using standard truth-seeking tools is in fact bad and harmful when it comes to people's identities. The ultimate goal of society should not be to seek out objective truth! It should be to minimize harm to human beings. Seeking truth is merely a means to that goal, and is powerful when it works. But it often doesn't!

If this pandemic were to ravage through the world unmitigated, we'd have, say, 3 bn people infected in short order, resulting in 15 million deaths (assuming a 0.5% IFR). Seems to be in the same league.
> Note: when the screwup was, say, due to people from our TX helpdesk, they would never say “Oh, those Texans screwed it up”

I can't speak for everyone everywhere, obviously - all teams are different and have their own attitudes - but I did some work in India with a tech support team and the phrase "the American's screwed it up" was used a reasonable amount in the cases we looked at.

For whatever it's worth - which, again, isn't much other than to say that any individual (you, me, etc.) experience isn't a set rule, at least one my U.S. team the women (including PoC) complained about the India team's work significantly more often than the men, though I think this was because some of the men happened to interact more with the India team and so got to know them a bit better (there were exceptions in all directions, but I'm just saying majorities here).

I think it has much less to do on both ends with any kind of actual bias and more with the ease to blame the team "over there" as opposed to people next to you - people blamed teams in other parts of their own building (U.S. and India alike) just as quickly/often as ones overseas.
On number 2: that makes a lot of sense; yet in places that have had peaks (e.g. new york, italy, UK, spain) the peak observed fatality moment is barely shifted vs. the peak positive testing moment - maybe more like a week or so, normally? In all the data it's a little hard to spot trends, especially with testing rates scaling up, but still the graph peaks are not even close to a month apart, even where testing rates don't appear to be too variable.

One comparison: https://datagraver.com/corona/#/?regions=italy:hex005FA2,spa...

Massachusetts has fairly well defined peaks too: https://covidtracking.com/data/state/massachusetts

What's causing this discrepancy? Clearly the disease progression isn't that fast, so... what then? Maybe the more vulnerable groups tend to get hit more quickly, and as cases ramp up either die earlier or lock down more rigorously or both, such that the less-vulnerable form an infection peak after the death peak has passed? Or is it simply that people get tested late in the disease progression?

Given how little the MA testing rate has varied, and that the positive rate peaks also are much closer than a month apart from the fatality peak, I don't think testing changes seem likely to be a primary cause of the (to me) unexpectedly short period between case peak and death peak.
Not really, this seems like a textbook example of a property developer dumping negative externalities on the surrounding neighborhood.

Sorry if I'm just missing it, but I'm not sure how this relates.

Something I've noticed in my own writing is that the more I write the less likely it is to be misunderstood or misinterpreted. By that I mean, it would be easier to have a dialogue if I knew what connection you were drawing between people choosing to update their projects and my acceptance of terms of service. I can imagine many connections, but to respond to the connection you're making I'd need to know which one it is.

> You mention having a trans person present at the table. However, if you're a psychologist and you're characterizing mental disorders like gender dysphoria, you don't invite a trans person to the table as an equal with whom you're going to come to some compromise pleasing to both (in practice, pleasing to the trans person)

So you presume they're an unequal? This is exactly the problem.

Sure, you can't predict which way any given company will go in a situation like this, but my initial statement is still true. Minimizing costs and maximizing profits is always what companies do absent any external factors.

Consider the following scenario: Walmart builds a new store with lots of parking, and across the road a Target opens and they gamble on having no parking since the Walmart lot is just across the street. Target saves a lot of money this way, so they're incentivised to not build parking.

Imagine that Walmart knows this might happen, and so they choose not to build the parking because they don't want to subsidize Target's parking. Now two huge stores go up with no or minimal parking. It's a prisoner's dilemma brought on by lack of regulation.
> We can't compromise with flat-earthers and agree that the earth maybe is sort of an oblong, oval shape halfway between a sphere and a disk.

This is kind of amusing, as "an oblong, oval shape" describes a more accurate model of the Earth: an ellipsoid. The Earth is ~1/300th of the way between a sphere and a disk.

I don't think you can call it mind-expanding or intellectually stimulating, but I'm currently following the MOOC about modern Web Development from the University of Helsinki https://fullstackopen.com/.

I think it's quite solid and valuable, has a good amount of exercises and I really like the frameworks/technologies they teach (React/Express/TypeScript/GraphQL).

Also trying to expand on my own the topics and concepts they introduce, so I think at the end it's gonna be a very good long-time investment.

For more specific stuff like Algorithms and Data Structures or Programming Languages knowledge, I usually prefer books over MOOCs.

I read about the app early this year in the Swiss news and I decided to try it first because of privacy concerns and because I was curious about the hexagonal keyboard. Although it took me about a couple of days to learn the tricks, I’m now much faster typing (also because of prediction) and correcting, and navigating myself to delete mistakes between words is so much easier. Great app! FYI for bilingual people I would recommend to try the PRO version you can add up as many languages to the keyboard as you want.

Don't do it loosely otherwise you may end up spending a lot of time on it. If you are not a designer, tell the client that you can get a designer who can work with them first. Some clients are too anal about pixel perfect design and this client is one of those, you will spend 10s of hours just dealing with "can you tweak this button a bit to the right" type of requests.

So tell the client that you are happy to code the WordPress site but how specific of a design are they looking for ? If pixel perfect, you need a dedicated designer. Otherwise, you may be able to get the client to work with existing templates in WordPress BUT those are also dangerous since it leaves too much room for interpretation.

I would start by asking the client "Are you looking for a specific design that is done exactly to your specs or are you ok with using existing templates" ? Their answer may give you a clue. Also, remember that design itself could be lot more work than coding the actual WP site.
I'm not sure how the military work when it comes to currency requirements. For private and commercial pilots it's certainly the case that they sometimes have to conduct flights (or at least, conduct specific procedures) purely for the sake of maintaining currency. I would be surprised if the same concept didn't apply broadly.

It's not quite as strong as because you flew that mission we are cancelling that training session, more because you flew that mission you don't need be booked out on a training session.

I was going to rant, but this:

> The energy-driven reduction of entropy is easy to demonstrate in simple laboratory experiments, but more to the point, stars, biological populations, organisms, and societies are all systems in which energy is routinely harnessed to generate orderly structures that have lower entropy than the constituents from which they were built. There is nothing physically inevitable about increasing entropy in any of these systems.

is so straightforwardly incorrect that it frankly just should not have been published.
That is rather wonderful but, of course, one typically can't use telnet at work "because security". I got left with it in a mode printing escapes afterwards, and needed reset(1), but I guess that's telnet's fault, unless TERM is wrong.

If you look at the graphs side-by side for areas with clearly defined peaks (I looked at MA, NY, Italy, Spain, UK, Netherlands) the peak fatality rate is no more than a week behind peak case numbers, and perhaps less. Testing rates in at least some of those areas were fairly constant around the peaks, so that doesn't seem a likely confounding factor.

I'm not sure what to make of the meaning of such a short gap, and of course people may now be testing earlier than they did in the early hot spots, so I'm not sure if this has any predictive value.
Just curious, why this particular website is still being keep alive?

The jump to diversity is a bit iffy. Even taking for granted that this provides a similar gradient then all you can really guarantee is that it will cause something. This could be both good and bad. Also if it works in the same way then it will only work at the cost of diversity, the second law of thermodynamics makes sure of that.

So yeah, I'm not sure if your analogy works, and if it did I'm not sure if it would be useful.
FTA: "The progressive left has discovered that single-family zoning has racist underpinnings. That’s great, because we should now have no problem finding common cause for repealing this most distorting of regulations, one that the federal government never should have forced cities to adopt to begin with."
Privacy is still neglected today. I personally believe that companies will no longer have a «sink or swim» strategies in the future, as there will be a lot more regulation.

Furthermore, the keyboard takes some getting used to at first, but after a short practice period my speed has even increased. I look forward to more features!

His blunt voice is precisely why many find the book valuable. It cuts to the chase. The title itself makes it clear that this is what you'll get, so opening the book expecting otherwise would be nonsensical.

His good fortune has no bearing on the value of his ideas. Again an ad hominem.
To return to my original point: there seems to be
an underlying worry that the people we should be
listening to about race are incapable of nuanced
conversation, either nuance of tone or nuance of
content, which strikes me as nakedly racist.

Nobody is suggesting that any group of people is intrinsically incapable of nuanced conversation. If they did, they would be profoundly (factually and morally) wrong.

What is being suggested that, yes, some individuals and groups are experiencing circumstances that -- while not as exigent as being trapped in a burning building -- are something like that.

Certainly, if I or my loved ones personally experienced police brutality, or if it was a common enough experience for people in my area who looked like me, and it was a real possibility that I faced every day... it would of course be challenging for me to discuss it in a nuanced way. I do not feel this would represent some sort of weakness intrinsic to my race.

Entropy is only kinda about probability.

>How can we talk about the uncertainty of a system that is in a single, well known, predictable state.

The system we are usually talking about is orders of magnitude larger than the uncertainty. Think a liter of gasoline in an engine vs the position of a single atom. While we might not know the trajectory of the atom, we have a pretty good idea how the collective atoms that make up the gasoline will function.
