Studies like this show that this is a false choice, there is no real option to 'choose the economy' for example. As we saw from studies of the Spanish Flu, cities with late and light lockdowns actually suffered more economically than cities that locked down earlier and tighter because the effects of an un checked (or less well managed) outbreak that lasted longer were so devastating. More people sick and dying is a huge drag on activity, including all the people that have to look after them, and people self-isolate anyway out of fear. Pandemics like this are a juggernaut, there's no real option to ignore and carry on.
Taxes are significantly lower than government spending and have been for decades. This is a good question.
in practice, things that are biblibcally prohibited, one cannot ask a non jew to do. only things that are rabbinically prohibited would one be permitted to do (i.e. same people who prohibited, also created a backdoor to permit. I'd also note that in practice its a bit more complicated than this simplification).

Of course one then might get into a debate whether a particular action is rabbinically or bibilically prohibited.
* Never really got to try it much, as I didn't really use Macs back then, although I'm curious if anyone from that time knows what the "oah" name stood for.*

I bought my first Mac just after the transition. I remember running Microsoft Office under Rosetta for a while. Office 2008 added Intel support, but it took a while for my university to offer licenses, so I probably used Office 2004 with Rosetta close to a year.
That is some seriously disingenuous math. Whoever came up with that calculation is deliberately trying to mislead (aka lying) or is utterly incapable of grasping the concept of time.

A month ago, Florida had 66,000 confirmed cases. Now it has over 200,000. With a virus take takes two to eight weeks (or more) to kill, we haven't even begun to see the real death rate.
That translates to around 0.4, which is in-line with normal influenza seasons.

Are more lives lost due to Covid confinement?
I agree, but realistically we need to use the blunt number of excess deaths, as each country is handling the tracking of covid deaths so differently. And it also helps show if the lockdown caused issues - by comparing against other causes of desth where countries have been tracking covid deaths in a meaningful and repeated way.

As I say, I believe lockdown, esp in the way that NZ/Australia/Vietnam/South Korea did - is the way forward - the more proof we have for that, the better.

I feel UK started too late, didn't put tracking in place, and gave very confused messaging. As an island nation, we should have had a head start in protecting our people but it feels like the economy was put first.
IMO this is ethically more simple than many like to believe.

There are existing power structures (planned ones and emerged ones) in this world and the technology we create can either be used to reinforce them or to question them. Sometimes it is both and things cancel each other out and move on a sideways trajectory – but in the case of CV, it is quite clear who will benefit: those in power, those who need to quantify, control and punish the human element, but don't have the manpower (=legitimacy?) or funds (=priority?) to do so manually.

I get that working in CV is interesting and cool stuff, but the collective suffering it might help creating and keeping is something one should seriously think about as well.
it even worse than that for people trying to take issue with you. if one has a problem with the statement "people or jews", one would generally assume this removes "jews" from the group of "people". and hence jews aren't people.
It appears they revised the estimate: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018.htm

> Can you explain why the estimates on this page are different from previously published and reported estimates for 2017-2018? (For example, total flu-related deaths during 2017-2018 was previously estimated to be 79,000, but the current estimate is 61,000)?

> The estimates on this page have been updated from an earlier report published in December 2018 based on more recently available information. There is a trade-off between timeliness and accuracy of the burden estimates. To provide timely burden estimates to the public, clinicians, and public health decision-makers, we use preliminary data that may lead to over- or under-estimates of the true burden. However, each season’s estimates will be finalized when data on testing practices and deaths for that season are available.
I think it is very cool.

Trying to think of some applications for this. For example one could create a mechanism that watched people entering and exiting a shop providing the shop owner more quantitative data that he could use to optimize his sales.

Or you could have it watch a soccer game. Generating all sorts of data on how the game went.

All on relative cheap piece of hardware.
I feel like this is missing some context. E.g. the word “mad” seems complex; how has this been introduced and how do we know that this is what the dog is trying to communicate?
It’s not cooperation at the human level, and that makes all the difference. “Altruism” is a convenient dismissal of a principle (survival through cooperation) that has actually allowed humanity to survive and thrive thus far.

The trick to making it all work is that knowledge and/or tooling (the means of production) ought not be proprietary, but product or service absolutely can be.

I believe that the USA and USSR/Russia have been at war with some other country directly or by proxy more or less always since the end of WW2. Yet we had no other major world war because of the mutual assured destruction. That kind of peace might not last forever but it was an unusually long period. A wonderful change for the best if you lived in Europe, no change at all if you lived in one of the countries that took the turn to be the target of one or both the powers. Add regional powers operating on their own will now.

>there are so many other options for relocation, many of which are now objectively better for a given individual,

Not so many options unless you are very rich, or your skills are in high demand globally. Which is not typical. In most cases migration works like buying houses: I'd like to have a verandah with ocean view, but there are permissions, and there's price I can afford. US is very on top of the list, but in many countries it's complicated/expensive to get there. It has nothing to do with image, or current political state of affairs in the US, or in general what is in the news.
So far the countries that got infections under control returned to baseline excess mortality.
also if you are used to asking for white meat in the US when talking about birds, please don't try to be smart and translate that into hebrew.

> There are a number of factors driving these numbers. Simple population counts are one of them: There are more white people than black people in the United States, so it makes sense that the average American is going to have more white friends than black friends.

That's the major factor but I guess if one tries hard enough they can see the angels dancing on the head of a needle. Why would they dismiss it in the 2nd paragraph to come up with some holier-than-thou babble.

Of course, and then one could do some math and figure out that in a graph where 75% of nodes are X and 25% are Y and random relationships occur, the average Y will have a higher proportion of X friends than the average X will have of Y friends. ? Where does one jump from this to some kind of moral argument?

It's like saying the avg kitesurfers has more non-kitesurfer friends than the avg non-kitesurfer has kitesurfer friends.

F*, this grouping and deindividuation of people that the American left has degenerated to, has truly has become a post-modern religion with it's requisite self-flagelation and utopic symbolism.
Every death is tragic, but that doesn't mean we should shut down everything to prevent it.
What I was envisioning, though I'm sure the motivated reader could find other situations that are similar, was a refactor I was doing a week or so on an internal library.

The "external" interface, as in, the API presented by the library, mostly did not change. But internally blocks were broken apart, new ones formed, and logic ripped from one function and placed in another.

To someone seeing the whole, or "the library," changes were 99% internal (some changes in how options were interpreted).

But from the perspective of any one function, boundaries were crossed quite promiscuously, and if we'd had unit tests for them, we'd have needed to (re-)write some.

It's my experience that we are not very good at saying, "THESE are the chunks into which the program should be divided and thought of," and then never altering from that. There's always some cross-cutting concern that comes up. For this reason, I am suspicious of unit-testing-by-default, as "what is a unit" is often in flux.

Demographics of the population, when countermeasures were rolled out, how severe those were, reporting errors, reporting standards (and changes to those standards as the pandemic progressed), how wealthy / healthy the country is, how much IC capacity they had relative to the size of the population, whether they had a pandemic plan already in place, previous experience with pandemics, initial number of infections prior to planned approach, temperature, humidity, culture of handshakes, prior mask wearing, genetics and so on. This is going to be a very complex problem to get a grip on in such a way that the model does not end up to fit the available data (in other words: that it would not have much in terms of predictive ability).

> All preventable deaths should be prevented - this is the gold standard.

It absolutely isn't; it is complete nonsense.

Firstly, it directly conflicts with right to die; it asserts that if we can intervene in any suicide, then we should. How can stepping on the right to die be elevated to a gold standard?

Some people take risks, and those risks are fatal. Deaths in dangerous sports and other activities are easily preventable: just forcibly take away the right to engage in them. Closing off Mt. Everest to climbers will certainly prevent deaths. By your gold standard, that must be what should be done.

Preventing some deaths may even require lives to to be imperiled; someone has to be asked to risk their own life to save others.

No, no, no; live and let die is the gold standard.

People should be sometimes left to the consequences of their actions and circumstances and that includes dying. Obviously not always, and not as a rule, but sometimes. Often enough that "all preventable deaths should be prevented" is utterly preposterous.
Keep telling yourself that. You'll know the difference if or when you live under another system :)

i'm not worried about suffocating, that doesn't mean it doesn't suck-- which is all i was pointing out. mow your lawn in a mask, it sucks. when something sucks you don't want to do it, you resent having to do it.

but i'm not against wearing masks in principal. i do my civic duty. but my civil society isn't doing shit. in washington you now have to wear a mask in public, (well, not really, cops don't want to enforce that, but nonetheless...) this was done by the governor, which is possible because he has special powers because of the state of emergency. what prompted the mask requirement is a hospital in eastern washington was running low on beds. so why not use those special powers to make more beds in yakima? why am i not being pestered to get tested on an ongoing basis? why aren't people being put to work helping those who can't leave the house because they're infected or at higher risk of complications? why aren't masks being mailed out to people and handed out to homeless people?

because that sort of thing requires a government that can do something useful for people, and that's not what we have. it can impose upon people, but it can't do anything good. so we'll all wear masks and it will help with the plague as much as banning plastic straws will help the ocean.

(yes, i know your comment is about n95 masks and osha requirements and maybe i should put this somewhere else, but here we are.)

There are hundreds of websites, thousands of positions but it is really hard to apply a specific filter. Systems are ridiculously inadequate. I really cannot understand how a website for remote jobs doesn't have a "globally remote" filter. Also, filters are very generic while companies are looking for very specific experiences like domain, framework etc.
Again?

Disregard that, but we could really do with "fewest-code-possible" workflow engines with basic actions like modifying a database value or sending a mail on certain triggers. Flow of MS was hinting in that direction but the product got integrated into their BI solution and renamed power automate or something like that. And you have to pay for an action that does a HTTP-request. So I guess this was failure. Many companies might not know it, but are looking for that I think.
one can start a fire before the sabbath and benefit from its heat. One can't stoke the fire (to make it hotter) or extinguish it. On the flips side (as an example only) if I was sitting around a camp fire that I lit before the sabbath with a non jew, and he wanted to extinguish it or stoke it for his own benefit (I might benefit as well, but he's supposed to be doing it for his own benefit) that would be permitted.

apply to a computer: one can let it keep on doing what it is doing, but he owner wouldn't manipulate it.
> I feel like criticism of the American nuclear family has been pretty much fair game for decades; it's not like BLM invented that concern.

Question: can you see how mixing this into BLM is a problem? I can take an unpaid day off to protest police brutality but this very quickly escalated into something completely different.

FTR, my stance on this:

- I'm not happy to support anything that wants to remove police. More training: yes. Tougher penalties for people abusing police power: yes. But removing one of most effective stabilizers in the society: no. For all its warts, the police is important.

- While I grew up in the same house as my grandparents until I was 6 or so and while my mothers parents and other relatives walked freely in and out of the house as long as they could walk I do not want to support a movement that had any opinion on how I or anyone organize our family life

- I'm kind of a socialist at heart but sadly could never vote that way as a
every socialist party around here pulls in ugly dependencies, so for now and for the foreseeable future, the second best option: support anyone who wants to leave people alone.

- As this movement had started to try to tear down Churchill - not the bravest ot noblest man - but arguably one of those whose actions mattered most to reduce police brutality (Gestapo) and racism in Europe and no one is stopping them I've concluded that this movement is beyond repair. (Anyone should feel free to prove me wrong here by turning that movement around.)

Edit:

- some clarification

- also, based on the feedback so far: am I misunderstanding something (I had a misunderstanding a few days ago where someone meant nazi but used an euphemisms that I didn't catch in that context.)

Wrong question. Do white police officers make a habit of terrorizing law abiding white people the same way they habitually terrorize law abiding black people?

Ans: Not generally.
Since Covid19 I've been using Jitsi a lot. I gave the same "chatroom" to my parents and parents in law, as a way to speak to the kids. Then at some point I'm getting a message from my father saying they can hear my parents in law speak from their living room in our Jitsi room. It turns out the app does not hang up when moving to another app. So they probably spend a couple of days streaming... No idea if others visited the room, it has a rather unique but not very long name and no password... I know one should hang up, but, keeping a video+audio stream alive in the background should also lead to some warning imho. Btw, this was the iPad Jitsi app keeping the connection alive, not the website.

> O2 sats aren't in respiratory distress

It's important to note that low O2 doesn't cause a feeling of respiratory distress -- which is why carbon monoxide is so dangerous and why we have carbon monoxide detectors.

What does cause the feeling of respiratory distress, is CO2 buildup. We are used to having low O2 and high CO2 happen together (This correlation is likely why we evolved to detect low O2 through high CO2). Usually respiratory diseases impair both O2 intake and CO2 removal.

What's unusual about SARS-Cov-2 in this regard, is that it impairs O2 intake without harming CO2 removal - and it is unusual when compared to the vast majority of respiratory diseases, but also occurs in e.g. altitude sickness. To the best of my understanding, it has nothing to do with CNS depression in either SARSCov2 or altitude sickness.

i.e. there's a concept that if one is going to get on a boat that is going to be sailing over the sabbath, one should get on sunday-tuesday. not wed-friday (saturday would obviously be an issue).

if i had to guess, that is the logic here.

> Why is it that Cambodia and other nations in southeast Asia have negligible deaths despite doing very little to combat the virus, while countries in the EU which locked down have way more deaths per capita?

One possible explanation for this is the kind of strain carried by the index case(s).

There are dormant strains and there are virulent strains of the virus, so the kind each country gets determines the kind of symptoms and this in turn shapes the initial reaction of their health care system.
Hi, I’m Vince — I’m looking to join a team as a Backend Software Engineer.
I used to work at a mobile-gaming startup in the Bay Area where I built services in Go. In more detail, I:

- Built microservices powered by real-time sports data (NBA and League of Legends)

- Developed libraries used across all services: client SDKs, an internal web framework, data store clients, validation tools

- Rolled out testing infrastructure for writing automated tests resulting in faster development cycles and ongoing test coverage

- Improved engineering standards by actively contributing to docs and reviews related to writing idiomatic Go code, web APIs, app architecture, testing, and error handling

Sadly, the startup wasn't able to secure a Series A round due to the recent pandemic and I was a part of the layoffs.
Before working as a software engineer, I worked in finance and have a degree in Economics and a minor in Computer Science from UCSD.

Location: Los Angeles, CA
Willing to relocate: Yes (San Francisco Bay Area)
Remote: Yes (but would enjoy working in an office after the pandemic ends)
Technologies: Go (Golang), Rust, Java, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, REST, gRPC
