"Memes" on Instagram and other social media platforms disguised as misleading and inaccurate health advice is the actual problem.

Looks like the word "Meme" in 2020 is now totally different to when it was used in 2006.
Go for it! The main construction trick here is remembering that to put a welt pocket on the outseam means you need open access -- so you close the inseam last, opposite the usual order of things.
In my opinion, the government shutting down the economy and forcing businesses to stay closed was a horrible idea. The government should have intervened as little as possible. I think the news disseminating the news about coronavirus and then each individual should make the choice of what they want to do. If they wanted to stay at home then stay at home, if they want to keep their hair salon open, then they should have been allowed to make that choice. Don't forget this virus is from China and if China informed the world and the world health organizzation actually did their job then maybe they could have isolated this to China.

With regulation - for example, there could be a law that prevents doctors working more than 12 hours in a 24 hour period.

Come to think of it, surely something like this exists already?
I used to dread the weekly scrum-of-scrums when I was a squad lead at IBM. Everyone used to recite their lines and yet none of the presented information ever seemed to register in people's minds. I would often get calls right after the scrum-of-scrums asking about exactly the things I had just presented

You can have a "pocket-in-pocket" to avoid that problem. My Lululemon trousers [1] have that where I can fit an iPhone 8 so it stays put (I don't store my iPhone as the "double-pocket" in the pictures, it is rather a hidden pocket inside the pocket on the right hand side)

The redbooks are hidden gems - what documentation should be. When I used to work with these (very nice) bits of kit, the redbooks were my bible.

They'd tell you the gory details, you could learn from the experiences of the authors. The "official" documentation was good, but wouldn't ever say "you don't want to do it this way, it'll end in tears".

PS: Note that the book is 2 years old now. And my experience with them closer to 10 ;-)
This is a classic example of whataboutism.

BLM protests where, on the whole, at least masked. This is a huge contrast from the literal “we will not wear masks” protests that erupted from the radical right.

There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to capturing videos of such people refusing to wear masks or socially distance. Based on the non-negligible amount of (sometimes racist) right-wing talking points they often devolve into, I’d say many would be considered on the right.

In any case, weird attempt to distract against the current sitting president and radical-right legislative bodies of several states acting in direct conflict with scientific advice on how to reduce the rate of infection.
If you read the book "Thinking fast and slow" or perhaps "Predictably irrational", you will realize how irrational all of us are.
This research seems relevant;

>Our key result is that hosts most closely related to humans harbour zoonoses of lower impact in terms of morbidity and mortality, while the most distantly related hosts—in particular, order Chiroptera (bats)—harbour highly virulent zoonoses with a lower capacity for endemic establishment in human hosts.

I hate these cynic comments. There are always people involved that knew about his situation lied to him, took his money for fake cures and fake diagnosis. Every one of them should face charges and be forbidden to see patients. This quack bullshit is insanely huge here in Germany and while it's true that in the end it's up to the patient to make the call, most of these quacks build up a relationship and gain trust and then sell their bogus cure with a huge margin. I had a roommate in her 20ies spending 5000+ euros because one of them told her she had heavy metal poisoning - I told her to see a regular doctor and she likely couldn't talk to me if that would be the case (she was fine, just gullible).

Fuck everyone that does this. These are plain criminals in my view. There are tons of problem with the medical system and pharma biz, I'm not cheering for them but the alternative is often way worse and outright dangerous for a lot of people.
But those increase were before mask wearing requirements were in effect.

The opposite can be just as dangerous * . "Medlife Crisis" has an [informative video][1] that explains some of what can happen.

* Edit: I shouldn't have equated the dangers here. This was a bad take. I still believe there are good bits of info provided in the video, but the relevance to this thread is less than I considered and I should have thought more about what I was sharing.

Edit 2: I didn't mean to link to a specific timestamp of the video in the original link. That has been removed.

No, one cannot. Modern medicine is part of our environment. Failure to make use of it is a failure to adapt to the current environment which lessens the disadvantage of individuals with higher risk of cancer, who may have other advantages letting them thrive in this environment.
Yes, coincidence of reinventing the wheel. They reinvented cargo pants with pockets going inside instead outside. The purpose of the two is exactly the same: storing things. I don't care who invented cargo pants and who started wearing them first. I'm neither a pilot nor a soldier, nor am I pretending to be one, but I find them super convenient.
The term 'meme' was coined in the 70s and means an idea that spreads from one person to another. It comes from Richard Dawkin's The Selfish Gene; the idea is that memes are subject to selection just like genes.
And the fact that they are expected to "speak with one voice".
Thanks for this comment, it was really encouraging!

I'd say its not conspiratorial though as you describe, as the paper walks you right through the evidence excluding natural causes of covid virus modification.
I really appreciate posts like this and wish there were more of them. Tutorials by experts are valuable, but I also find it comforting to read that other people are sometimes as clueless as I am, and I think posts like this can end up explaining some of the pitfalls that some more expert users aren't really aware of. We need more humility in software.

The whole concept of memetics is anti-intellectual pseudoscience. The analogy between idea and gene is an extreme stretch, and the pop understanding of this speculation loses whatever more subtle context might be there.

The pop understanding robs ideas of their context in systems of ideas, rendering them isolated sound bites with no integration or higher level thought. It promotes a kind of Orwellian "duckspeak" and the utmost short attention span culture.

I don't think it's a coincidence that meme culture dominated forums originate all the worst ideas and culture on the Internet. I am looking at Twitter with its ideological lynch mobs, 4chan, and the popular Reddit forums.

Richard Dawkins originated the concept, and for him it was only a speculation anyway. In any case Dawkins has never impressed me. He's not the greatest thinker in evolutionary theory by any measure, and he's among a collection of people who lost their minds after 9/11. I have no idea why he is so high profile.

This is an artificially created shortage. The number of doctors entering the system every year is limited by the number of residency spots.

Because resident salaries are paid for by the CMS Medicaid fund, the number of residency spots are therefore limited by how many spots the American Medical Association is able to negotiate with Congress.

Congress needs to increase funding to residencies so they can do a better job of keeping up with demand for doctors.

Thankfully, this is being worked on:

"The number of residency positions has increased only 1% a year, far lower than the 52% growth in medical school spots since 2002, the AAMC said. Federally supported residency training slots have been capped by Congress for more than 20 years, limiting the spots for medical school graduates to undergo additional training in a residency program before they can practice medicine.

To increase the supply of doctors in the U.S., the AAMC supports a multipronged approach, including passage of legislation by Congress that would provide a modest but critical increase in the number of federally supported graduate medical education positions.

A bill, the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2019, is awaiting action in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. It would gradually provide 15,000 Medicare-supported residency positions over a five-year period starting in 2021."
Why is this article so bend on blaming the meme, as they obviously got the majority of the false information on forums?
I don't believe anyone does this based on memes.
There tots is. :P e.g. Serosurveys of kids show significantly lower positivity rates than adults (fewer kids have had it); PCR testing of kids shows higher positivity rates than adults (a greater proportion of kids tested have it); other studies show seroconversion rates of kids are nearly as high as adults after infection.

The only way to get this outcome is if negative kids are less likely to be PCR tested than negative adults, or if positive kids are more likely to be PCR tested than positive adults, or both.
"If transit itself were a global super-spreader, then a large outbreak would have been expected in dense Hong Kong, a city of 7.5 million people dependent on a public transportation system that, before the pandemic, was carrying 12.9 million people a day. Ridership there, according to the Post, fell considerably less than in other transit systems around the world. Yet Hong Kong has recorded only about 1,100 COVID-19 cases, one-tenth the number in Kansas, which has fewer than half as many people. Replicating Hong Kong’s success may involve safety measures, such as mask wearing, that are not yet ingrained in the U.S., but the evidence only underscores that the coronavirus can spread outside of transit and dense urban environments—which are not inherently harmful."

It was a red queen's race that they lost by attracting too much attention. The original cadre of special warfare operators has been eliminated, and their escalation in violence and sophistication of direct action was emulated by others.

The referendums arent the only thing, I didn't read the article but searched for konkordanz/concordance(?) and didn't find any mention of it but it is the aspect that the executive branch is formed from representatives of all parties, a bit like a parliamentary committee is formed in other democracies. That means that there isn't a real opposition/government split in their parliament and government. This promotes centrist governance. Then the referendums provide a way of correcting/opposition to the elected government.

I do think this style should be adopted wider into other democracies.

There’s a relationship between r/K type[1] and body size, resting heart rate, length of gestation cycle, length of time from birth to reproduction, parental rearing duration or presence, and more. Very interesting to me, though it doesn’t say much about humans relating to other humans. I also believe this theory has been criticized, and I don’t mean to advocate for it, but to raise awareness about how statistics give power to test our science as well as our intuitions, when it is used properly.

I know people that have gone through chemotherapy. Since this was his 2nd cancer diagnosis, I can understand why he wouldn't want to go through it again. I can understand why he would so desperately want an alternative.

If I were to be diagnosed with cancer tomorrow, I don't know what I'd decide for myself. Of it depends on the diagnosis, if it was just a small skin cancer they could just cut out, sure, let's do that.

But if it was something more pernicious, like the Hodgkin lymphoma, I might refuse chemo. I may prefer to just get my affairs in order while not going through chemo, and just trying to appreciate what days I have left. And being able to appreciate the days I have left, because chemo can really knock you out. What's the point of getting more months of life, if you can't do anything?

I wouldn't put any of my hopes in an alternative medicine cure, but I've been studying science in various forms for a long time. I have a reasonable knowledge of what might work and what wouldn't.
The purpose of the project is to show how a high quality game can be created. It is educational project, finishing the game is not the main goal. The series are on ~600 episode. Which is around 800 hours. I don't think that is much considering that
- until episode ~200 soft renderer was used to show how exactly rendering works, then he switched to openGL.
- he is diving into complicated topics, like right now advanced light system.
- ~50% or more of time is spent on detailed explanations.
Second this. I love context-based organizations like newer versions of Phoenix default to. I've been using that in apps for years.

Basically all of the application UI is in framework-independent code. When plugging in the UI portion, you never do logic on stuff, you just call functions/methods to get it done.

It's not perfect, but it makes it much easier to port to a different framework/toolkit in the future.
Or that you simply have different aesthetic criteria. When did fashion start being axiomatic?
About the gun part: I grew up in a gun owning family. On the other hand my dad wouldn't even let is have toy guns or water guns as he was afraid of us picking up the habit of pointing guns at fellow humans.

Much of my childhood I also shared house with an actual (full auto, large caliber) assault rifle, but my dad was always very careful to point out that war was not cool.

In fact, from my childhood, the gun owning part of the family were simultaneously the mild mannered, book reading part of the family.

My Swiss friend in town told me as far as he knew Switzerland still people keep fully functional assault rifles at home but those who have them need to show up for three weeks of training each year and show up at a shooting range twice a year. (He left a few years ago so anyone actually living there now should feel free to correct this.)

My conclusion has always been that the gun violence problems in US is largely a culture problem.
The possibilities of bringing back this way of thinking are tantalizing to me. The intersection of end user programming a discoverable system with the pervasiveness of the cloud could be really awesome. Something like a mashup of Automator, Hypercard, Heroku, and Smalltalk.

The only reason this doesn't exist is simply that nobody has decided to build it yet.

I find your comment about `display: inline | block;` interesting, because when implementing the visual formatting model layout algorithm, these are the first two you'd want to implement, and they're the easiest.

In my game engine, we only support these two display types from the specification.
I signed up for it too last weekend after coming across it after doing some research (I had been making a bunch of video recordings a few days prior, and once the videos were added into Camtasia and the audio played back I noticed a lot of background hum coming from my HVAC return outside of the room I'm in).

Was impressed with the Krisp.ai tech as well and probably works similarly to this tool and the other Nvidia solution that I can't try out since I don't have an RTX card (main difference might be the overall training set that Krisp has already run their algorithm through?).

I haven't had any Zoom meetings since purchasing Krisp, but I had been using the built-in mic from my LG Tone headset for those meetings.

Since making those video recordings I've been using my blue Yeti mic (and a pair of headphones connected to the mic for listening) as my primary and I've continued running a bunch of small tests to try and see if I can be happy with using Krisp enabled all the time.

Currently, I don't feel comfortable with leaving it on all of the time though for recordings, particularly with something like the blue Yeti mic which is able to capture pretty rich audio. In my testing, Krisp did a great job of eliminating the background HVAC humming noise, but replaced that issue with two others: some minor (but distracting) hiss/noise between words as I'm playing back the recorded audio, and also currently is limited to 16000mhz frequency (not sure if mhz is correct or not in this case...this is what support shared with me when I asked about audio quality degradation). The support person did respond though and say that the team is working on the increasing the frequencies they are able to work with though so I guess there might be some improvements in the near future on it?

After seeing the latency figures on the NoiseTorch page it makes me wonder if the Krisp latency is similar or not (so far I haven't noticed any latency issues with Krisp).

As far as remaining thoughts...I kind of wish there was a bit more configuration options available for Krisp, but the simplicity of it is also a benefit (for others that might not be as technical and just want a simple solution that does appear to work overall). I haven't gotten it to work for playback needs (it has the toggle for it, but nothing seems to happen when I try and toggle that on). Also, still not sure what the overall differences/improvements with Krisp Rooms enabled (I am recording in a room, but after reading their description/blog announcement page it kind of seems like it's more for conference rooms where multiple people are speaking and extra echo cancellation might be useful? ref: https://krisp.ai/blog/krisp-rooms-launch/)

Since I'm already out with a year subscription with them I'll continue to try and figure out how to use it effectively, but not as excited about it at the moment compared to how I was last weekend initially (impressive overall though...hopefully it continues to improve :-).
It isn't necessarily any worse for public/cafe computers. Just like any login system, the UI should have the ability to remember you or not.

With the browser acting as your user agent, it can manage multiple contexts (work, personal) and let you choose which is sent to each site, without the need for separate browsers for each.

As an added tangent, consider that browsers are one of the few places where we can do things like "temporarily log me out of everything" (Incognito Mode / Private Browsing). They have some level of sophistication in session management already.
