Any suggestions to keep regexes simple? They often grow to huge lengths which are hard to read and/or debug. It would be nice to keep modular. Maybe using websites like this is the only way.
> for a power user, and I think the omnibar is much more appealing to non power users as it's visually simpler, big, and easier to click

This is interesting, I always figured it was the opposite. Many casual users don't know or care much about the difference between a search bar and a url bar and just want to type something in and get a result. Personally though I prefer having separate search and url fields because the actions are more precise.

On more than a couple occasions I've tried to make a web search in Chrome's url bar that the browser insisted was a nonsensical url. I know there's a flag to enforce one behavior or the other, but I can't ever remember it and honestly don't feel like having to memorize magic words to get basic functionality working.
> Unfortunately a lot of people were biased against it precisely because Trump supported it.

If someone says "you should take this", based on “[they] feel good about it. That’s all it is, just a feeling, you know, smart guy. [They] feel good about it.”, with no strong medical support, then rejecting the drug is the proper course of action.

The medical community can continue to perform tests, and if there later is support for the drug, then policies can change. But that doesn't alter the fact that rejecting the drug was the correct policy.

An organization that puts out a tweet (on immunity) that was, in the form it was written, totally void of any biological sense, doesn't rank much on my scale of worthiness.

On the seasonality: at a seminar on the epidemiology of this disease at my institution right today, the evidence on the impact of experimental factors was described as "inconsistent" but not enough to rule out one possibility or the other.

Ironically, a WHO staffer in Italy actually made a claim (or so the media said) about a "second wave" just two weeks ago.

I really don't understand why it is hard for many (not necessarily just the WHO) to say "we don't know".

> While clear information about the mysterious virus remains hazy, the WHO said on Tuesday that transmission between humans has not been ruled out.

“From the information that we have it is possible that there is limited human-to-human transmission, potentially among families"

The WHO report findings, and on Dec 14th there was limited evidence that it was spreading from human to human. All of that is true.

Im talking more about the megabar, not the unified search and address bar (which also has its own issues)

And the security patches for FF are bundles with the release, so if you want security fixes you also HAVE to take whatever UI or feature changes FF put into the browser. You shouldnt force users to relearn functionality for a piece of utility software in order to get fixes for CVEs. I understand its easier for them, but having to retrain people every couple of weeks because there is a new FF release isn't ideal.
(1) Not everyone has a financial advisor. Also, mass emails may not constitute financial advice. Living in various countries of Latin America, my uncles and aunts have always had in mind the USD as a unit of account and an alternative savings medium. Not all of these people were intellectually sophisticated or "good with money" necessarily. They'd either struggle with baskets of currency or bear an additional cognitive/stress load that would make them worse off.

2) At a more formal setting where cashflow projections are made and international investors placated (and so on), having forecasts be conditional on both USD and euro is already commonplace, particularly if there's lots of intercontinental logistics implicitly baked in costs and revenues. Adding another currency to these types of calculations (also backed by econometric models, commodity price forecasts etc) would not add 50% complexity, it would pretty much double it. I can't imagine being responsible for a cashflow in four or five currencies at a scale in which exchange rate volatility matters.

This isn't to say there wouldn't be benefits, but surely there'd be costs.
I like that logic. Something a lot of enthusiats, fire arms, cars, etc.., don't get. Servicability and maintainability of a large fleet of X is such a big deal that you chose X for these reasons over Y. even if Y would, on the single unit level, be a tad better.

Just to put a bit of a context here, life exists on Earth for 4 billion years (single celled), and 1.5 billion years (multicellular) [1]. There were few mass extinction events in the history of Earth, at least 5 happened in the last 540 million years with up to 50% of life disappearing [2]. There were before periods with much more diverse life, than what we have now, so probably life before occupied the whole planet [3], obviously not all of that species left themselves in fossils, so exact numbers are a matter of big debates.

How the Facebook phishing scam that targeted us worked
I think it is (although my comment about populism was not directly solely at the U.S.). As an outsider, I would attribute the poor pandemic response to lack of coherent leadership. The U.S. federal government is obviously incapable of pulling itself together across partisan lines for the greater good of the people it is supposed to serve. Even if you disagree about politics, the numbers do not lie. Just north of the border, Canada is doing literally ten times better (for the moment).
Yes, it's an overview of the factors that will likely drive R0 to increase during winter months. R0 is highly context dependant variable, it is not a constant. What evidence are you drawing upon to suggest that immunity will have accumulated by then enough to limit outbreaks to small containable clusters?
It’s the same thing as with ads and ad blocking, etc: your business model is not my problem.
Gold goes up when interest rates go down. The interest rate on gold is always negative - there is cost to storing it. But usually you can find someone who will pay interest on dollars. So there is a cost to holding gold over dollars, the lost interest plus the storage cost. Right now that number is close to zero. It may become negative, that is, cheaper to store gold than hold dollars. That's why gold is going up.

> Some of them have really warped views of human civilization that led them to live further out (rapists and murderers around every corner) and seem to relish the idea of "defending themselves" with a gun

It's unfortunate how true that statement is. Every time I've attended a class for a concealed carry permit it seems to be filled with wanna-be vigilantes. Which is ironic because almost every CCP class is a gun advocate instructor saying "do not shoot people! even if you're in the right you'll go bankrupt defending yourself in civil court". And everytime they get asked "But what if...?" "You'll still get sued..." "but what.." repeat ad nausea

Wikipedia has 3 clear link from Jan 14th - the Telegraph (UK), Straits Times (Singapore) and Reuters, all conveying the quote that there was indeed human to human spreading, but at the time it seemed limited. Which is right.

The WHO further said

"It is still early days, we don’t have a clear clinical picture."

"When I run the search on mobile I see six screens of information scraped from Wikipedia and NIH before it starts showing organic links."

That is a fair criticism for mobile where the sidebar collapses to the top. On desktop, organic results take up the majority of the screen and the curated results are shown only in the sidebar.

With limited screen space on mobile it is difficult to see multiple sections of results at the same time. The only change I could think of would be to adjust the CSS so that the sidebar collapses bellow the organic results.

There can be multiple waves without the virus itself being seasonal, just due to human behaviour.

In particular, if we close everything down, get infections down to a nice low level, then declare victory and throw away all our masks and precautions, you better bet there'll be a "second wave" that has nothing to do with the weather.

I would say probably destruction of civilian property.

Most of the protests could be considered as violent, due to the police shooting tear gas etc. into crowds of peaceful protest.

Protests where the protesters get violent would in my mind involve

A) Actual retaliation vs police, not just water bottles.

or

B) Destruction of government property.

or

C) Both.

Protests where it devolves into looting private property are not protests, they are riots -- that have at least partially been caused by people who _definitely_ do not agree with the protesters.

A lot of resources are free, but I still find plenty of value in the printed word.

For example, I bought Practical Common Lisp despite it also being available electronically for free, because I tend to write a lot of margin notes and highlight things that I know I'll want to see again. It is so much quicker for me to pick that book up and get to the info I want than it is for me to scroll through a PDF for the same info (besides lacking my personal notes). I have multiple random electronic copies I don't bother looking at, and one printed one that I refer back to quite often.

If you want to take some courses in complexity, check out complexityexplorer.org. They are run by the Santa Fe institute, so you know they're top of the line. You can generally take the courses for free since they are offered through grants, but of course you can donate and/or buy some schwag to support more of their (incredible) course and tutorial offerings. I just finished a course with them today, actually, and am working on completing a third from them.

First of all, you're only talking about income taxes, which as you rightly pointed out are concentrated in the Federal government. Once you factor in property and sales taxes, the distribution is roughly 50-50.

Second of all, even if you only take into account income taxes, Federal income taxes aren't re-distributed to other parts of the country in the way that you think.

The biggest line items in the Federal budget is (in decreasing order) are:

- Social Security

- Medicare + Medicaid

- Defense

Social Security isn't really "distributed" to other parts of the country, it's mostly concentrated in regions where retirees happen to live. Ditto Medicare.

You could argue that Medicaid is "distributed", however it is funded by both States and the Federal government[1].

The comment to which you are replying is correct: most public sector services like education, electricity, water, sewage, libraries, law enforcement, fire departments, etc are all funded predominately at the state and local level.

Respectfully, I think there is a lot of mistrust in WHO is because the PRC deliberately withheld information in the 2002-2004 SARS Outbreak:

https://yaleglobal.yale.edu/content/sars-gives-china-lesson-...

This is where the saying "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice same on me" comes into play. The below source shows the PRC covering up the COVID-19 outbreak:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51364382

I peronsally feel like the WHO should have been a lot more suspicious of the PRC and how they were reporting. However, it appeared like they took information from the PRC at face value in January, where containment could have spared much of this pandemic. Was it political? Much like someone else pointed out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlCYFh8U2xM

A senior WHO offical praises the PRC, even after it is come out the the PRC covered up the initial outbreak. It is very hard to not view that is political.

To me, a lot of the mistrust of the WHO based on these sources are well founded.

I used to have a friend who did a bit of contractor work, and he swore up and down by Sears “Craftsman” tools; not because they were the best (they were far from it), but because they had the best warranties. Every tool, he claimed, would wear out sooner or later, and Sears would always replace with a brand new one, no questions asked.

Thank you! We chose Rust for a few main reasons:

- It's an ideal language for writing security-focused software given that it eliminates memory safety bugs (a leading cause of security vulnerabilities in the wild).

- Authorization is generally on the critical path, so providing a decision quickly is very important. Rust is extremely fast, but more crucially it doesn't have runtime garbage collection so there's no possibility of an ill-timed GC run disrupting your application.

- Rust has a great language interoperability story. We designed oso as a library that you embed in your application. The upshot of that is that we've already built Java, Python, and Ruby libraries, with additional languages to follow. Using Rust allowed us to write the core logic and runtime once in a correct, extremely performant language and then write the language libraries as thin shells around the Rust core. That lowered the bar for expanding oso to new languages pretty dramatically.
