Amazing for someone to write off 140k deaths. Only 58,000 died in Vietnam. Thats literally in and out of "theaters of war". 1900 died in the Gulf war and those are ppl who "signed up for it".

So, only 140k died. Callous AF.

1) Chile, Kuwait, and Singapore have similar rates of testing to the US [1]

2) Current studies show roughly somewhere between 10-20% of hospitalized patients ending up with heart damage, increasing their future risks of heart attacks and strokes.[2][3] Up to 36% of hospitalized patients are displaying neurological symptoms, with possible damage.[4] Up to 60% are ending up with ARDS which may be permanent.[5]

Extracting that with current numbers, assuming we had a 50% infection rate, 15% hospitalization rate [6][7], and a 1% death rate, we'd have ~1.5 million dead, ~22.5 million hospitalized, ~3.375 million with heart damage, ~8 million with neurological issues, ~13.5 million with ARDS.

Obviously many of these would overlap, but it sounds pretty devastating to me.

> The more experience I get, the more I think that most languages are just fine.

Quite. Just give me a boring language with a stable ecosystem, mature and extensive tooling and fully understood quirks. That means all the time and effort can be spent building the actual product instead of burning time monkeying around with the shiny-new language.

This means that things like Java and PHP (and C in some domains) are nearly universally the correct answer if your goal is to build a product instead of building a resume.
the DNS itself is not as easy to duplicate across multiple provider, with CF DNS down having a backup CDN wouldn't have helped
Such a good point. Ppl really do not seem to understand this.
Not that it diminishes your general point, but are you aware of the datalist element?

I re-read your original post. You said:

Some people are able to honestly assess their past positions and statements, understand why things could be construed as problematic, and make efforts to better themselves. That, and a sense of what conversations are appropriate for public forums versus informal conversation over drinks, act as pretty great cancellation buffers.

And yet one of the top examples is someone who had that "great cancellation buffer" and it didn't help him one bit.

In another famous example, Emmanuel Cafferty, all the guy did was drive with his hand out the window with absolutely no idea that it resembled a signal used by white power groups. That "great cancellation buffer" didn't help him, either.

People feel safe because they don't think it will happen to them. I firmly believe that this shows ignorance of how political purges (which this is) work. Eventually the purge takes on a life of its own and people who started it are often shocked to later find themselves among the victims.

That's why I find `repl.it` so handy. (No affiliation, and not an ad; it's just one service that I've found useful.) If I want to know something like this from any computer, I can just pop it over to their online REPL. I wasn't sure if it supported GHC pragmas, but it seems by this example that it does.

> So, in short it's just coinductive natural number type. I'd say it's very far from useless, I use Conat in Agda pretty often especially if you use other coinductive types.

Maybe I misunderstand the terminology. If it's true that one can't solve `something = just something`, then doesn't that mean that the type is inductive, not coinductive?
When I was a teenager, my mom (a psychiatrist) gave me her copy of Frankl's treatise on Logotherapy titlled The Will to Meaning. That book was so over my head, but something that's always stuck with from it is: life is unconditionally meaningful, and we can discover that meaning through creative actions and experiences, as well as how we come to accept unnavoidable sufferring.

> So is it a coincidence that 99.9% of hunter-gatherer societies have chosen to industrialize?

I don't think there is much evidence of this. Would you say that hunter-gatherers in Australia, Africa, or the Americas chose to industrialize? It seems more that agrarian society was forced upon them. Likewise, industrialization isn't much of a choice once you are already in an agrarian society as failing to adapt to it will see you outcompeted and displaced or extirpated.

Your question is like asking "why do 99.9% of people choose to have sex with me if I hold a knife to their throat?" It takes some serious mental gymnastics to construe that as them wanting to have sex with you.

Rather than “buckets”, I bet they just have a flag on each tweet in the database for whether it’s deleted. So if you delete the most recent 3600, next time they do a query to see recent tweets, it retrieves 3600, but they’re all deleted, so it filters them all out. Buckets are a little less likely implementation wise because you’d either sometimes see that the most recent bucket had very few tweets in it, or they’d have to be constantly shuffling tweets between buckets.
As someone with Celiac disease I know where you’re coming from but you’re conflating two different conditions.

Celiac disease occurs when your immune system damages your stomach lining in response to eating gluten. It’s why a strict gluten free diet is required. Many gluten contain foods also contain FODMAPs but that’s not what’s causing the immune response.

IBS on the other hand is a functional condition which means it’s problem with how the gut works but doesn’t lead to any damage of the gut/stomach lining. Instead, it’s thought that visceral hypersensitivity could be at play, where the nerves in the gut are overreacting to the gas and expansion caused by the fermentation of FODMAPs. By avoiding FODMAPs you limit this process and reduce symptoms - it’s thought that GDH helps with this process from the top-down and that’s potentially why the Monash study (creators of the Low FODMAP diet) found the response rate was so similar between the two treatment groups.
GPT-3 is some new neural net or something like that from OpenAI that you can "train" a little.

School districts really aren't doing any more training or working on remote learning. Teachers are not required to work in the Summer and therefore most will won't do anything to prepare. My wife works with multiple school districts here in SoCal. We even had one district who had negotiated with the teachers union and they did not legally have to do any online instruction at all. (Huntington Beach). So, many teachers simply did nothing, or very little. The school board there has been taking heat over it for the last couple of months.
No such thing. You would be better off renting an inexpensive VPS and running your own VPN on it.

Public VPN services have to be the one of the greatest lemon markets to have ever existed:

You want people's private data? People will pay you to give it to them. Go ahead and sell the service for less than it costs due to the boatloads of data that you get.

People realize this, so you end up getting a disproportionate number of customers that don't worry about you getting their data because they're only using the service to behave abusively... which drives up costs.

So an honest provider has to deal with dishonest competition selling below cost and a customer base that is saturated with problem customers because good customers are savy enough to avoid VPNs.
Are you claiming the work hours of doctors are the expensive thing in all that?
You could also use 9.9.9.9 as your backup, if you're avoiding Google (https://www.quad9.net)
No, because stealing is:

"take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it"
That's actually not an entirely crazy idea if you're trying to hide from Western governments. Are you more worried about the Chinese government coming after you? Likewise, if someone in China is trying to hide from the Chinese government, it might not be a bad idea to use an USA based VPN. Maybe string up a bunch of VPNs in regions that are at least somewhat hostile to each other and it might be too hard to track an IP back to its source. I guess trust no government and use their hostility towards each other to your advantage? Just an idea prompted by your comment.
> So you're assuming a Mars colony would have a nuclear reactor(s).

Yes. Or, at least, multiple power sources besides solar.

The same reactor designs that work for the Moon would work on Mars. Due to sandstorms, nuclear power is a necessity on Mars. Depending on the location of the colony, carbon dioxide ice deposits can function as heat sinks.

Martial dust gets everywhere, and that's why the colony will not place critical infrastructure on the surface.

Building redundant life-support infrastructure, however impractical, is a hard requirement for any off-planet colony. That's why any realistic approach will start by launching a massive amount of supplies and equipment before the first human is settled. That means there will always be enough water and food to supply the colony until another supply landing can arrive. Living on a planet where you can't open a window to the atmosphere is hard and dangerous, but also required if we want to survive in the long run.
That's what we get for externalizing costs. It's not hard to track down sources, but network operators usually let it be, hence the incentives are probably counter-productive.
I've been running on Cloudflare at one of my locations for about 1.5 years. There has been some down-time, but it's usually been on a local cache and not a national outage like this one. They were pretty responsive -- the total downtime was somewhere around 32 minutes.

It took me three minutes to isolate my problem to them. I just added some non-Cloudflare DNS servers to my resolver. It's easy to look at the incredible redundancy that's built-in to their system and be confident, but adding a higher layer of redundancy to an already redundant system is never a bad idea.
Yeah, I didn't expect that to go over well on a distinctly techno-optimist site.
This is a great comment. I expect it only applies to some folks depending on how they learn, but it resonates a lot with me.

I find it very difficult to learn the whats and hows of a new thing without the whys. I tend to construct mental frameworks of things, revising the inaccurate bits as I go, until theory starts meeting practice. (I always did poorly with math "teachers" whose method was, "doesn't matter, just do it." But it did take a while to realize that they were failing, not me.)

So when I encounter complicated, new things with a history, I usually try to start with at least a bit of the history.
It's fascinating. A lot of fields have a short list of theoretical foundations that everything builds on. Immunology is the reverse. An applied science with lot of important ad hoc observational things that are important yet poorly understood.

What's with the black&white? How about nurtured guidance, positive reinforcement learning or inspirational leadership? The stick isn't the only compelling force, and when it comes to education, it's probably one of the worst.

Kids are naturally curious, they're hard-wired to learn from the world around them. But you need a school system that fosters that, not hampers it.
Yeah I think it’s a great idea - we’re really interested in expanding the level of personalisation our programs provide and this could be a feature. Definitely, it’s harder to fear losing control when it’s your own voice.

Those of you who are lactose intolerant and know about the extreme constipation that can result, will be happy to know that oat milk can have the opposite effect. Extremely opposite. You don’t want to know how I found out.
I get your point, but there must be some sort of connection. Erlang and WebRTC are two of the strangest things I've ever seen. It would seem implausible for one company to repeatedly produce such oddities by chance.
>Again, the excess death is the deaths caused by lockdown, not the deaths caused by a highly infectious respiratory virus.

At the point that you're making blatantly counterfactual statements like this, it's hard to take anything else you say seriously. Some estimates put excess deaths from things besides COVID during lockdowns at about 35% to the total, but they in no way exceed the excess COVID deaths themselves, especially given the likelihood of COVID death undercounts.

You also obviously don't understand how the thresholds for herd immunity work are dependent on duration of immunity and social dynamics of populations. All of humanity doesn't just get together and say "let's get together, right now, and see which of us dies," as much as you would seemingly like to argue that they should. We don't have herd immunity to any number of diseases (e.g. cholera) because we quash their spread through other means, like sanitation, quarantines, using masks. I don’t know why you cite SARS over and over again without acknowledging that we don’t have herd immunity or a vaccine for it.

Does it really matter? If you're small, who cares if you go down for half an hour? What, you'll make $0.02 this hour instead of $0.05? If you're big, you can afford your own infrastructure. Stick a few servers in a few colos around the world and you'll have better uptime than CF and friends anyway.
While they use a JS framework it doesn't mean the framework is used also in run time, in pre compiled frameworks like svelte the generated components are just vanilla JS and can be used later in any webpage.

For a VPN provider to actually be trustworthy, you'd have to be able to verify their policies. But that's impossible, so VPN providers just fall into "might be doing bad things" and "confirmed to be doing bad things".
Luckily, this was the NYTimes, which is based in the US, and considered one of the most prestigious news outlets in the world—turning on a source would be major malpractice. Possible? Sure, but just like with heart surgery, I'm more inclined to trust a professional with an earned reputation to uphold, than just some random shmo—which is to say, there's not much more of aa reliable bet than the NYT for staying safe as a source.

No, the intent of the question was: do we still have trust into scientific information coming from China? We know that China government closely controls many aspects of life in their interests, so should we consider this an exception?

Or, instead, should we wait for publication in a trustworthy source about "we were able to successfully repeat experiments, earlier reported from China, which demonstrate..."?

I guess the matter of trust is for everybody to decide by themselves.
