Let's assume for now that you are correct, economy-first is best. Then, has the Federal government pursued the optimal course of action to make economy-first practical and successful? If not, then why not? And also, if not, then is it possible that given the lack of a solid comprehensive plan from the Feds, the r-flattening strategy has been left as unfortunately the most reasonable course of action?

On the other hand, if the Federal government has properly laid out the optimal pro economy-first course of action, or close enough to it, then how is it that we are not implementing it, at least in parts of the country? The US has 50 states, many which are dominated by conservatives who like the President, are not broadly in favor of lockdowns. Why haven't those states insisted upon going full steam ahead with economy first, and proving the efficacy of that choice? Why do even conservative, business-friendly, Trump-loyal states keep backtracking and implementing partial lockdowns if they are such a ruinously counterproductive idea?

My own opinion is that the Feds have failed at every level, leaving the states with no choice but to flounder through this pandemic with only bad options. Had we taken comprehensive nationwide steps to stop the spread of the virus, especially at the early stages, shutdowns may have been unnecessary or greatly lessened in severity. And had we taken more wholehearted steps to mitigate the economic effects of the shutdowns, we would be in a much healthier position overall to ride out temporary drops of economic activity without the irreversible effects we are currently facing. But I'm curious as to what you think the best economy- and lifesaving strategy would've been.
"Free speech means congress isn’t allowed to silence the media"

That's the narrow redefinition of free speech that's currently in vogue with people who want to crack down on free speech. The whole time I was growing up, until quite recently in fact, free speech meant the freedom to speak your mind. The idea that people would routinely get fired for voicing their opinions, which is the world the new ideologues want to create for us, would have seemed shockingly unfree.

The classic cliché of the limits of free speech is "yelling fire in a crowded theater". That's where society used to draw the limit. Those lines are being way, way, way moved, and the people moving them are pretending that they're just reiterating the old standard. It's a radical shift, and everyone who doesn't subscribe to this orthodoxy can feel it, even if they're too vulnerable to be able to stand up to the priests.

ClickHouse Saved Our Data (2020)
A steel doesn't roll back a folded over edge, it removes material and sets a micro-bevel. It's similar to stropping, but with a hard metal tool rather than a soft leather/denim fabric impregnated with paste. And it's easier to mess up and dull your knife instead, a knife in reasonable condition really shouldn't need more than a couple of light strokes on the steel on either side. Conversely it's almost impossible to over-strop a knife as long as you don't completely mess up the angle and use too much pressure.

In short, everything you do to work on a knife edge removes material. The difference is in how aggressively it does it, and to which angle.

If the edge on your knife keeps rolling over or creating a burr just from using it, you're sharpening it to an angle too acute for the steel to properly support.

In my experience, by far the most important tool is the strop. I can get dull knives shaving sharp with a 240-grit stone and a strop in a couple of minutes, though usually I take my knives to 3000, because it's easier on the strop.

Yeah sure, there's a few other minor stores but they are nowhere near the size of the Play Store.

Additionally we could compare to other markets, if you compare the number of companies which can host your website and the number of companies which can host your app, the numbers are going from hundreds of thousands to less than 10 for apps even by counting almost irrelevant stores.

Encrypted Messaging / File transmission / IOT control.

Current messaging solutions have different issues.

1. Not encrypted.

2. Transmission is encrypted but they are centralized, the message is open in the server.

3. End to end encryption but susceptible to block because some signaling/presence is towards a shard of central servers.

4. The infrastructure relays on well know properties of IP/TCP (proxies, ports...).

5. the packet has some well know properties (checksums, structure...) that allows to be identified and blocked.

5. Authentication and peer identity discovery.

There was a time (early 2000s) where Skype was a headache for system administrators, because it was able to pass any firewall and the conversations were able to pass. That is missed in the current world.

There are quite a few throwaway accounts in this thread claiming to be Facebook employees, arguing different sides of the issue. They can't all be PR. In my experience—and we can confirm this in some cases—people are mostly who they say they are.

Check sql migrations into version control, all changes get checked in.

Run them in a predefined order with a migration tool (something as simple as file name order is fine).

Save metadata in the db to ensure migrations are not run twice and keep a record (again migration tools can do this).

Test migrations multiple times prior to deploy using a sanitized copy of production.

Any of these steps would help, all of them would eliminate your problems.

The #1 group who needs the vaccine more than anyone else is a group of young, extremely healthy, low-risk individuals. Paramedics, nurses, doctors. The "front-line" to the COVID19.

Even before the "at risk" population gets the vaccine, nurses and doctors (who will be treating the at-risk population) need to first be immunized... otherwise the nurses/doctors risk spreading the virus to the at-risk population.

Fauci was very careful to say that this isn't any decision he will make on the matter. But it is extremely likely that nurses / doctors will get the first dose of vaccines.

Well a lot of the T cells will enter the bloodstream in order to spread through the body. My knowledge of this is fairly limited but chemokines serve as the navigation instruments in many cases: a site of inflammation or infection will have immune cells expressing these signaling molecules that will slowly diffuse and create a gradient. T cells (for example) will follow this gradient to get to the site of interest (the process is called chemotaxis).

No book recommendations off the top of my head, but I’ll post back if something comes up.
> Saying “vaccines are safe” is like saying “drugs are safe”. Without qualification it’s a lie. Drugs tested to be safe are safe. Vaccines tested to be safe are safe.

> The problem with the whole anti-anti-vaxxer thing is that any nuance gets lost. I’ve been called an antivaxxer (on the internet) for stating that I don’t want to take a poorly tested vaccine candidate.

> Personally I am not afraid of SARS-CoV-2, for someone in my risk category the risk of bad outcomes is vanishingly low. Whereas a rushed out novel vaccine - which by definition cannot be tested for long term effects - is much more risky, personally.

> BTW, because both the mortality and unproven (and imo nonexistent) “long term impacts” of COVID-19 are so dramatically overblown, the threshold for “this vaccine is safe” will be very loose IMO. Especially simce you can argue that the societal benefit of the vaccine means it’s worth more risk than the risk of COVID infection.

It's statements like this and the one above why you get called an antivaxxer i suspect. Both the mortality rate and the long term impacts of COVID19 are both real and have not been overblown, there is a lot of evidence out there, but you just need to talk to any medical professional who has worked in the hospitals that treated patients to hear how bad this virus is. But it sounds like you have made up your mind already even though you say they are unproven (which they are not) , so you I guess you're making this assessments based on idiology not evidence.
> consistent practice with a fluent speaker where ones effort is being tested in some way like children

I agree with the total time and deliberate practice aspect but in my opinion you are underestimating one extra factor for adult learning.

As an adult if you practice a new language with natives (outside the context of a formal lessons) the majority of people will be a lot more accomodating of mistakes and mispronunciation simply because of the social pressure of wanting to 'save face' and not trying to demotivate the person who is learning.

There are maybe a handful of close friends who will be brutally honest enough to correct you, in the same way they would correct an infant. For the most part as an adult it is more common that you end up practicing with an 'excessively tolerant' feedback loop from other language natives.

As for flat spreadsheets, they serve their purpose just like any other tool. I don’t think I heard people complain about spreadsheets for dealing with flat data, the same way no one complains about hammers to deal with nails. If we’re trying to deal with interconnected and enterprise resources we don’t maintain those resources in Excel. We store them in Enterprise Resource Planning software or build relational databases (which are as old as gravity).
Nothing is wrong with spreadsheets, they’re the sweetest way to deal with quick data until we use them for things they can’t do.

>Can you formulate a "no endorsing violence" policy that keeps the current protests/riots while banning Trump's latest idiocy

Yes, it’s quite simple and I’m wondering if you are intentionally or accidentally being obtuse by trying to frame the current protests as riots. There were plenty of peaceful protests all over the country - no endorsing violence simply means not highlighting peaceful protests over violent ones. It’s not rocket science except to those grasp at straws in order to equate civilians walking in the streets to Trump implying police shoot civilians.
I guess you are referring to the "mortgage stress" number from the article (37.5%). That sounds high, but it was 32.7% already in December 2019[1].

And you are throwing statistics out there without bothering to make an argument. Being in mortgage stress certainly isn't the same as being homeless now or in the future.

Is there evidence that more than one person caught it from an animal? I haven't heard of any. I expect that is the kind of thing one can learn from genetic sequencing of the virus - ie when a new strain is seen that has multiple genetic differences from any previous sample from humans, that would be evidence for re-infection from an animal species were the virus had been circulating for a while.
The majority of those companies you listed were not VC funded, or at least they were not the same sort of hyper-growth-chasing unprofitable unicorns that are the modern startup poster children.

> The aerospike engine isn't actually a new thing. Rocketdyne had been experimenting with them since the 1960s, and they're much more efficient than conventional rocket engines.

... kind of. Like they say, conventional bell-nozzle engines are optimized for a particular altitude, while aerospikes are not, and it's true that if you're going to use the same engine across a wide range of altitudes, aerospikes will be more efficient on average across that wide range than conventional engines will. At any particular altitude, though, a conventional engine optimized for that altitude will be more efficient than an aerospike -- they're "jack of all trades, master of none" engines. And it turns out, with contemporary multi-stage rockets, we can and do use different engine bells at different altitudes, which negates a lot of aerospikes' prospective benefits. Were single-stage-to-orbit vehicles ever to be a thing, aerospikes might have their moment, but it turns out SSTO configurations just aren't very good at lifting much mass to orbit, so that seems unlikely.

It isn't bad behaviour. It's just a failure. No harm in trying things that don't work. It doesn't look anyone misrepresented themselves. They came in, sucked, and got taken out by the market. The fact that they didn't listen hardly matters. It's not bad behaviour to not listen to advice from your landlord.

I'm not playing Devil's Advocate. I genuinely think it is good that people are trying different things. They're exploring the state space and I enjoy that.

If they were actually misrepresenting themselves or their ability to pay, or reneged on their debts without going out of business (which is a well-understood way to renege), or something like that, sure. But it looks like everything is on the level and the article is just saying that all of these guys who tried it weren't good at it. That's not a crime or even morally problematic.
I am very happy with my feather blades:

They are coated in platinum, each blade lasts about a week, and when I bought my 100 pack, it was 25 cents per blade, although now it's up 38 cents on Amazon.

For the razor, I also use a feather razor, about $160, which is expensive, but one will last a lifetime.

YMMV, but the feather razor is extremely safe and easy to use, although you don't have the same level of control as with other razors. It's a good beginner's razor but I've stuck with it. Shaving is dead simple, I never get cuts, and I don't even use any shaving cream, I shave after getting out of the shower and the hairs are already soft.

I agree with everything you are saying about sorting and I frequently use YYYY-MM-DD, however I do want to make one point: DD.MM.YYYY does make some human sense as a date format since the year is very rarely important (and if the year is actually important often the day is so unimportant that it can be left out), the month is sometimes important and the day is often the most relevant piece of information.

So for any kind of practical planning that day first order makes some sense, but I wouldn’t die on a hill for it.
