You will need new programmers to replace old ones if they leave your company. Now instead of knowing only Python they will need to know Julia (which at the moment is not as popular as Python) so it makes much harder to find new programmers. I really want Julia to take Place of Python/R and others but I think it will not happen in near future.
Techniques to Influence User Behavior

But NZ, Vietnam, China and Australia (current flare up not withstanding) have pursued policies of lockdowns, contract tracing and heavy testing. Your proposal is more convoluted and relies on the imperfect information we have regarding susceptibilities (genetic susceptibilities) being correct, and being able to scale tests to a couple billion people almost immediately so we can tell who should stay inside.

There was this concept of objectives and counter objectives which was meant to combat Goodhart’s law. The idea was that you define what you want to measure and then define another metric which acts as regularization for the first. A good example is if you define a metric of WAU only, you might be motivated to bring in as many new users each week as possible. Setting a counter metric of retention makes you take into consideration that it’s important they stay.

As you know so far it has killed 133K people (out of 3000K infected) in the US alone, you consider this number not high enough to instate a "lockdown", so the question is what number would have been enough for one to be necessary according to you?
Sure and those countries have effectively closed their borders. How long can they keep that up for?

If the fab isn't that expensive, all the more reason to learn how to do it proficiently for free, no? Even if it doesn't get produced it seems like a good learning project.
Not interested in entertaining conspiracy theories.

If your response to "wear a mask to protect others" is "how dare you infringe my rights" rather than "how shall we work together to solve the problem", there's even less point in continuing this. Stay home.

Plenty of states have banned smoking in public places; it isn't about not harming yourself, it's about not harming others. I'm absolutely in favor of "you must wear a mask indoors / around people / in public", as well as the absolute right of others to kick you out of places for not wearing one, and to otherwise treat you like a walking biohazard.

Helmets aren't an operative analogy; those only protect yourself and have zero impact on others, so feel free to decide how much you value your skull.

I’m sorry, but Your claim is revisionist.

A young earth belief was the norm before modern evidence to the contrary:

“The chronology dating the creation to 4004 BC became the most accepted and popular, mainly because this specific date was printed in the King James Bible.[19] The youngest ever recorded date of creation within the historic Jewish or Christian traditions is 3616 BC, by Yom-Tov Lipmann Heller in the 17th century,[20] while the oldest proposed date was 6984 BC by Alfonso X of Castile.[21] However, some contemporary or more recent proponents of Young Earth Creationism have taken this figure back further by several thousands of years by proposing significant gaps in the genealogies in chapters 5 and 11 of the Book of Genesis. Harold Camping, for example, dated the creation to 11,013 BC, while Christian Charles Josias Bunsen in the 19th century dated the creation to 20,000 BC.[22]

Several early Jews also followed an allegorical interpretation of Genesis, including most notably Philo (On the Creation, III.13).[23]

The Protestant reformation hermeneutic inclined some of the Reformers, including John Calvin[24][25] and Martin Luther,[26] and later Protestants toward a literal reading of the Bible as translated, believing in an ordinary day, and maintaining this younger-Earth view.[27]

An Earth that was thousands of years old remained the dominant view during the Early Modern Period (1500–1800)”.

The apple podcast can put the newest episode first, so annoying. You look at recently updated of the podcasts you have it shows some episodes, but you have to click on available episodes to see by date order. Maybe I just haven't figured it out.

I also use Podcast Republic. I subscribe to podcasts but I can't arrange the order of which they show (the podcasts, not the episodes). I want to drag some to the top. I don't have it set to auto download because I want to check out the episode description before downloading.

There are many strains of corona virus as well, most of them cause a simple cold. We are not comparing COVID-19 to a common cold.
Who knows - I have nearly 4 percent neanderthal dna (according to 23andme) which means I have more neanderthal dna than 99 percent of people alive today, and it didn't hit me at all.

It will be very interesting to see what we learn in a year or more, but it does appear that there is the possibility of physical for healthy people - on her slack group (with over 7000 'long haulers') some people are showing heart scaring, some lung damage, some kidney issues. The only commonalities for most is that while they felt ill with covid, most were not dangerously ill. And many are resting negative to the antibody tests as it appears their T cells fought the virus. The research can come too soon for us.

From the documentation, it seems this utility uses LD_PRELOAD to change IP socket calls into Unix socket calls; which seems useful if you want to do namespaced and access controlled process to process communication with programs that don't already know how to use unix sockets.

there are additional deaths that can be attributed to the lockdown, as well as some reductions in deaths that can be attributed to the lockdown. but neither are anything close to on the same scale as people actually dying of covid.

there's obviously some margin of error, but it's pretty safe to treat the unattributed excess deaths as being caused by covid-19

Does the data account for reduced hours workers. Because many people receiving the federal unemployment subsidy of $600/month are only working less hours, but are still employed. The same goes for all the gig workers making less right now but still technically working.

So unless that data is broken out, it seems plausible that the dol number includes employed and reduced hour workers where as the bls survey is just asking if you have "some" employment or not.
But this is about Mozilla, which is not all like the other big tech companies. They've definitely made some mistakes but I'd pause for a long time before accusing them of malice at that level.
Home prices will fall. Lots of tenants probably not paying already right now. Commercial properties - lower demand. Job security in the near future is huge problem especially if the next shutdown will be imposed in winter.
I pushed for using state machines and more formal methods in the rewrite of a system that I and a number of other devs were hired for. The idea was turned down in favor of lots of ad hoc state and string constants, even though the system has a limited and distinct set of states on the main domain objects. People don't do it because people don't do it, and they're afraid others aren't going to understand it.

The vast majority of companies essentially code and design to the lowest common denominator so that their devs are fungible cogs.
I think any technology cannot be created fair from roots. As the technology evolves more fairness will be incorporated , as it would have feedbacks from all sorts of people. I feel this is premature accusation.

I know what you mean, and didn't intend to make fun of you and understand your reasoning.

I just wrote that because of my experience in Germany, where I'm from, one tends to see the sourcing of gadgets from China like that.

I once ordered a NanoPi Neo2 with 1GB RAM, some 'Sata-Hat' for it, and a fitting metal case made of aluminum. Was about 50 US$ with the wall plug, directly from the vendor, waiting some weeks for delivery, and the possibility of hassle with customs, though unlikely for something of that price.

So i applied your reasoning and sourced it locally.
BANG! 99EUR!!! Didn't make that much sense anymore, economically, but i wanted it.
Then the delivery service fucked up, it got returned/canceled by the delivery service because I complained about their reason "could not find address", while having seen the driver speeding away at the end of his tour from my window, which was obvious from the online tracking with real time map which they offered.

Had to tell the vendor I did NOT cancel, please send again, this time with a more reliable delivery service, if possible.

Finally I got it! (That was the 'fun', the rest I could have done without)

Would it break now, i'd have no consumer protection at all because i bought it way more than half a year ago, which is how long ours last.

Since I'm no power shopper, this made me think about my/your reasoning, and the conclusion that if you want something from "there", either the 'no risk, no fun' thing is the way to go, or it doesn't exist, since sourcing it locally at least doubles the price, or it isn't available at all.

Ordered a few things since then, had no hassle, everything was good, and at least 3 times cheaper.

Even have Alipay connected to my bank/checking account and identity card, which was possible to set up via browser at the time.

The idea of supporting local businesses is appealing in theory, but seems to hail from bygone ages. Again, as seen from Germany, because nowadays many here are either clueless and/or scammy, which takes the 'fun' out of it.

So, coming back to the little expendable cash, the only remaining question for me is: Does it make sense to have some man in the middle delivering my cheap things for at least 50% more?
* On Byzantine music (this discusses a paper discussing the octaves)
https://spinstrangenesscharm.wordpress.com/2017/04/29/making...

* Your friend seems to be discussing the Pythagorean pure interval tuning system where, indeed, going up is different from going down --

* In my own empirical work, I've found that pure intervals are not preferred compared to slightly dissonant intervals (in 3 tone sawtooth chords). You can try it yourself -- perfect consonance sounds much worse! Understanding this conflict with mathematical intervals is part of trying to "solve" harmony

* I agree we should remain disinterested in our models, such that we are driven to improve them and not espouse them as reality.

* Yet, I think it is a mistake if we aren't inspired by simple models -- or at least take their hypotheses seriously enough to test empirically

* For instance, is cognitive dissonance involving actual dissonance of some kind? The brain is incredibly rhythmic and even has octaves in the coupling between brainwave bands. It would seem to be natural to test these theories that Plato laid out thousands of years ago -- for instance, that musical rhythm entrains neural rhythms through resonance effects. Maybe that sounds silly, but I'd argue that we are foolish to avoid gathering empirical evidence for these ideas!

* Similarly, harmony had a major effect on astronomy. It actually still does, at the level of the cosmic microwave background radiation, where the presence of perfect harmonic peaks in the signal were the conclusive proof that the universe is "flat"

* Using the concept of sympathetic resonance has been extremely generative in psychology (see Adam Smith's first book) as has harmony in economics. Expecting what is pervasive in physics to apply to these domains doesn't mean it should apply in exactly the same manner -- just that one should expect analogous effects -- at least to the extent that one is looking for explanatory theories to test! We are so far from understanding these domains that, if we don't at least consider these natural and ancient theories (because they seem silly), we are doing ourselves a disservice. Let us be inspired by the past and test, test, test!

He was mentioning the same flu season I did [1].

You're right though, I think something different was counted. In one case it was covid-19 deaths vs excess mortality. A sister comment rectified it, fortunately. It took this source [2] that references the excess mortality of the Dutch worst flu season and covid-19.

Then you get:

> De oversterfte in week 10 tot en met 19 van de COVID-19 epidemie was 9.768

> De oversterfte tijdens de 18 weken griepepidemie werd geschat op 9.444

(I think you can gather which is which but you could use Google Translate to be 100% sure)

So COVID-19 is actually higher and in 10 weeks rather than 18 weeks. And also, now that we're comparing a bit more apples to apples (The Netherlands), then we have to take into account that an "intelligent lockdown" (whatever that means) has taken place.

We had less death per 1 million than the Swedish as we were on 6132 at the time of this comment with covid related deaths.

So in conclusion, I made a few subtle errors that ultimately really add up. I wish I could still edit my top comment, I am happy I could already admit one error I made (that Sweden wasn't 100% roaming free), but using different units of measurement (covid related deaths vs excess mortality was another one).

I don't think you're making much of an effort to describe the variety of AI that are appearing. The thing about AI is it thrives on data and lots of large institutions have data that they use to make decision about people. Fairness questions come in.

Google randomly, I see:

AI Applications: Top 10 Real World Artificial Intelligence Applications

Marketing, Banking, Finance, Agriculture, Health Care, Gaming, Space Exploration, In Autonomous Vehicles.

About half of those seem like situation where fairness questions enter - banking and finance - plausibly (who gets a loan), marketing - plausibly (who gets sold what), health care - plausible (who gets treated, what groups' data is and isn't used for what, etc). The other not so much.
> Why is the ecosystem important when you can just use pyjulia

Now you need to package a Julia application and Python application dependencies, instead of just a Python application.

Also, pyjulia is a Julia binding for Python, used for calling Julia code from Python.

The Python bindings for Julia seem to be library specific[1], and brittle. They require an additional special snowflake layer for Python dependencies[2], bypassing PyPI entirely in favor of Conda.

This means that a lot of packages will not work, and even if they do, some will be prone to crashing and some will be out of date.

> And regardless, I wasn't aware that getting paid to program in a language made the actual language itself better.

I like Haskell, I think it is in many ways a great language. However, I'm not going to start new projects in it, nor will I recommend it to clients. It's difficult to hire for, and hard for professionals to justify adopting for reasons other than personal preferences. A big reason for that is that its ecosystem isn't as mature or diverse compared to other languages.

> I'm addressing the practice of socially coercing people to say "black lives matter." What ideas are you actually asking people to endorse? I think many, many people are happy to endorse that idea insofar as it means "the police shouldn't murder black people because of the color of their skin," or "black people shouldn't get the short end of the economic stick."

I think you're quite severely overestimating both the number of people who are asking others to endorse Marxism when pressuring them to support their side in the current moment, and more to the point, the number of people who perceive themselves as being pressured to endorse Marxism in the current moment. There is some tangible benefit to both the far left and to the right for there to be a perception that that is what is going on, but I'm just not seeing it much IRL.

My extended social circle might not be representative of anything, but people are talking about cops murdering people, the behavior and misbehavior of protesters, whether vandalism during a protest is bad or somehow actually good for some reason (sigh), whether protesters deserve to suffer brutality at the hands of police (double sigh), whether racism is even a thing and whether whites are the REAL victims of racism (facepalm), whether events that are happening and are clearly documented on widely distributed video are really happening or whether that's just what "they" want us to think, and some other crazy stuff that I bet would sound familiar to you as well.

I think I'd actually feel a lot better about things if I were witnessing an argument about fringe political beliefs coming to the fore, rather than finding out how many people I know are overtly or covertly racist. That sounds a little negative but some demonstrably good things are happening as well, so... you take the bad with the good, I guess.
A vaccine in the next couple years is not unthinkable I'd say.

If you have a look at the current infection rate in a lot of European (and others) countries, even reaching 50% of the population infected would take decades.

So yes, I believe that delaying is not the only possibility.
It also makes sense for humans to have some amount of hysteresis. Evidence or 'facts' can be misleading, data can be cherry-picked. It takes some time to sort it out.

I do think too many people get blinded by that hysteresis and the want to be 'right'.

I agree measuring excess deaths is wise, as it also measures those 'killed by the lock down' who couldn't get chemo etc. I am very pro lockdown, but that means we need the clear numbers all the more.

Sweden is currently seeing 20 to 25% more deaths in year that they would in a standard year. Though their covid deaths have slowed so that will likely be around 10 percent by the end of the year if they don't see further waves.
No, the reason is that the people who teach are naturally of greater experience and age. When you reach their age/experience they are starting to make sense.
