I'm so glad every time I hear about someone discovering and enjoying tango!

Nice to hear that tango helped your back, although I'm a bit surprised as I've found that I need a some back exercise to relieve the stiffness that I get from dancing (although this happens only when dancing for multiple hours a day for several days, as you do on festivals).
> I liked how you demonstrated rerendering issues (illustrated with the profiler tool) and applied those techniques (selectors, normalization) to fix them.

It's actually not surprising at all :)

Redux Toolkit was specifically designed to solve the most common problems that people were experiencing while using Redux, and we've taken inspiration from many of the third-party libraries that the community had already created (because those libs were created to solve the same kinds of problems, and gave us ideas for what kinds of APIs people were writing).

For more background, see my post "Redux Toolkit 1.0", which talks about the discussions, issues, and ideas that inspired Redux Toolkit, how we evolved and designed its APIs, and the vision and goals behind its design:

Pretty much this.

Firewalls do absolutely nothing once someone got your weakest link to click something and go to town.

From my last penn test it goes, phish, get a click and execute or credentials, use a hack like getting legacy NetBIOS exploit to give up hashes for all your users, crack the hashes and hope someone used a short 12 char password or something dictionary-easy like “Wr3st1ing1!”, then leverage that access again and again until you have a printer that someone gave domain admin access to because it was easier than setting correct policies, an admin actual, a service not account that has good AD privileges, etc. Then start pushing software as admin.

Most of the time it’s not even this complicated.

The only thing that “saves” you from paying the ransom is good backups. But if a group is fairly competent, they’ll encrypt your backups too. So it needs to be offline.

I don’t have much love for Barracuda Backup, but for very little money you get nightly offsite backups that might just save your cyber insurance or company itself from having to pay.
This is interesting; for the past 4 years as part of my workout I hop in VR for around 60 minutes. I typically play a mix of music while I play games like Space Pirate Trainer (highly movement oriented, my heat-rate stays at workout levels while playing). So I'm basically dancing around to music, dodging incoming fire, returning fire, etc... quite stimulating + athletic with eye/hand tracking etc. Perhaps this is doing more than a fun extra bit that's essentially my cool-down.
I'd also like to remove the artificial limits on the number of doctors, but I don't see how it would help in this case. This delay is in the labs, not the doctors' offices.

Offline backups are not a complete solution. What if your backups are infected with the virus? Even if the backups are uninfected, your IT department has to manually scrap and rebuild all your computers from data centers to the warehouse to the receptionist. And in the meantime, like the article described, you have to pay your employees and suppliers and continue to ship products to customers.

Could you elaborate, because I am having trouble finding support for your position.

If, by "British Bill of rights" you mean https://avalon.law.yale.edu/17th_century/england.asp then it seems to be clearly concerned that a standing army in peace time is a concern, and places a limit on it (specifically, that it require consent of Parliament). It doesn't strike me as remotely contradictory to think that those drafting the 2nd Amendment might have thought that did not go quite far enough, and have chosen a slightly different tack in addressing the same concern.

This certainly leaves room for other evidence to decide the question in either direction, but (assuming I correctly interpreted your reference) the thing that you presented as evidence for your position doesn't seem to be.

There isn't going to be documentation out there, in some pithy Bloomberg article, "Banks have prized relationships with arbitrageurs that help them monetize opportunities that plainly violate fiduciary duty."

Information about how hedge funds work - like information about say how ad tech firms work - is incommensurable with HN's Reddit/Wiki-style way of disseminating knowledge. I hope that information without citations could be tolerated more, I have no dog in this race, I just like sharing knowledge.

Shaw and many hedge funds that have been around for decades acquire smaller arbitrage firms that can be thought of as having "licenses" to perform arbitrage. This portfolio of arb is how they scale to their AUM.

There is nothing actually secret or protectable about what an individual arb firm does to execute the trade. For example a particular HFT trading algorithm. Such firms that rely on actual secrets do not last long and so in a Darwinian way do not wind up in the portfolios of huge funds like DE Shaw.

The arb shops that last a while have permission, from a bank, that depends on a relationship with a real human being, that is exclusive to the firm granted, to launder a particular form of arb the bank would like to do but could not.

For example you're allowed to take a spread as a bond trading desk, but wouldn't you like to sell the bank's bonds instead of its competitors bonds? That's plainly against fiduciary so it "doesn't happen." Instead you go to an anonymous arb firm, for $1m in bonds, and you say, "okay we're going to sell you the bond that is actually ours, you will sell it back to us, here is your fee, now we can sell this bond back to the client and wash the fact that it is ours." Nobody says that! But that is the economics of the trade, why the arb firm can make money for so long, why banks work with them despite seeming to be "parasites," etc. The computers are just part of the hocus pocus of laundering that arb.

Shaw doesn't actually come up with this arb or necessarily source the relationship. Instead it finds the little anonymous arb firm and buys it, and carefully scales the relationship for $1m of bonds with 1 bank to $1b in bonds with 10 banks. The risks in Shaw's business are that you lose the license to arb. The upside is from investors persistently underpricing the ability for Shaw to scale this arb from $1m to $1b. No, they basically pull a rabbit out of a hat every year and continue to scale a particular arb further than people thought was possible.

Also, nobody is going to want to just give Shaw, a bunch of rich people, a bunch of free money. But you can't fight their ability to acquire little arb firms. This is the way.

Well, fw would be effective if organizations used network segmentation effectively, but of course close to no one does that in practice (e.g. usually IT/support have access to everything).
Spending is not synonymous with investment. Around half of your money is going to middlemen - think about how many people have full time jobs deciding what to charge, coding it, shipping invoices around, etc. not to mention trying to figure out how to profit as much as possible? How much goes to emergency care because preventative care is not covered and healthy lifestyles are actively discouraged by public policy?

None of that is going to medical professionals, infrastructure, or research. We pay considerably more than anyone else per-capita but that’s waste: as far as outcomes go we rank much lower than our peers.

This is also interesting when you compare tax rates: Americans pay taxes + insurance at a combined rate around “expensive” countries like Denmark but we don’t get anywhere near as much for our money.
LSD and opioids are very very different things, and a major driver of the opioid epidemic is certain companies in the pharmaceutical industry legally pushing it.

IMHO if alcohol and nicotine are legal, then anything "soft" that is not particularly addictive should be legal. It's fundamentally unjust to lock people up for using or having substances that are for the most part less dangerous than entirely legal and socially acceptable substances.

Alcohol is actually kind of nasty stuff if you look at the real statistics, especially if used in excess.

I'm not claiming LSD is absolutely harmless, just that it's not physically addictive at all and not nearly harmful enough to merit the harsh criminalization and heavy sentences it receives. LSD can be safe and rather interesting if used occasionally but heavy use or use by people with pre-existing psychotic tendencies can be psychologically dangerous.

My personal opinion is that drugs like LSD should be subject to some kind of licensing regime similar to other hazardous activities like driving a car, flying a plane, or owning and using firearms (in some states). I would also be in favor of blanket bans or at least heavy restrictions on any advertising for drugs, including alcohol, nicotine, and pharmaceuticals.

I don't think there's any need for a deliberate conspiracy here; hard capping the number of tests at exactly the daily capacity would require quite complicated real-time feedback between the multiple sites taking samples and the labs processing them, and would be worse in that it couldn't prioritize cases which need test results most urgently. This problem isn't unique to the US either; back when the press in other countries was pointing to Germany's testing program as proof their country was falling behind, I even had a conversation with a German on here who was convinced their testing was the failure because of similar delays.

Sometime there are no clear evidences, just suppositions - or the individual cost is not insignificant.

In that case you should not be surprised to be forced to stay at home, similarly to not being allowed in a school when not vaccinated.

You decide to pose a risk to society - you must face the consequences.

My wife is immuno-depressed so people, for their comfort and freedom decide to be a danger are my personal enemies. I want to make sure they are forced to stay at home with their liberty with them.

Only when you cooperate with society "for the greater good" then you are free to express your freedom publicly.

This is not something philosophical - it is life at stake for some people.

I'm confused by this part. How does the "latter finding" indicate that benefits may develop later? The "latter finding" is that there hasn't been any benefits yet. Does that suggest anything whatsoever about what will happen later?
My post with the summary, 7 days ago:

"Apparently even the "less sensitive" tests are in fact sensitive enough to catch these who produce a lot of virus. Those who produce a lot of virus have many orders of magnitude more virus RNA present in their samples than those who are in the phase of infection where they aren't so dangerously infective."

Thinking more about it, the most important point I'd add now is:

We should learn not to think about "the test" but about (at least) two different kinds of tests for different purposes:

1) fast tests to reduce the chance of virus spreading. Anybody isolated before managing to spread the virus is better than not testing, so it doesn't have to be too precise. We just have to understand its limits.

2) more reliable tests for clinical purposes, whenever they are needed. Interestingly, even in such scenarios antibody tests could find their use and allow cheaper or faster results, something like this:

https://www.clinisciences.com/en/read/newsletter-26/sars-cov...

E.g. if somebody has symptoms and IgM (or IgM and IgG), that could be good enough of information to decide how somebody is to be treated. One more example where I'd guess nobody needs to wait for a PCR result.
Nothing like a two step plan where the first step alone would cause a wide divide in educational opportunity between the wealthy and the poor and the second step is a half baked attempt to fix the obvious problems with the first despite it being insanely difficult and costly to implement.

For the cases given as examples in the article, from Georgia and Texas, even if they got prompt test results both those states are doing badly at contact tracing which further exacerbates the situation.

Georgia is currently tracing just 7% of contacts. They were in the 7-9% range from mid May to early June, then fell slowly to about 4%, then briefly in late June got up to 19%, and then immediately went into decline back down to 7%.

Texas is doing 6%. They were at 19% in mid May, rising to 42% near the end of May, fell to 25% in early to mid June, jumped to 33% by June 11, and then have been on a decline down to the current 6%.

Experts say this needs to be 90% withing 48 hours of infection.

California peaked at 39% in mid May and has followed roughly a declining sawtooth since then, currently at 22%.

Florida is just 3%. They peaked at 40% at the start of June and went steadily down hill since then. They curve looks like a capacitor discharge curve.

The only states that currently either have enough contact tracers or have planned expansions that will get them enough are: Alaska, Hawaii, South Dakota, and everything north or east of Pennsylvania except for Rhode Island, .

Of those, all but New Jersey, Massachusetts, Alaska, and Hawaii currently have sufficient contact tracers on hand.

The remaining ~40 states do not have enough and do not plan to get enough.

A state needs 5-15 tracers per daily positive test. Georgia has 0.33, Texas 0.31, California 1.07, and Florida 0.15. Compare to New York at 13.75. (Missouri and Alabama are tied for the worst here, at a paltry 0.08).

Reading between the lines, I think that several states hired enough to handle the load near the end of lockdown, with perhaps some room to spare for a minor raise as they reopened. When the rise was faster than they anticipated, they failed to slow down reopening or to boost their budget for contract tracing.
