You seem overly dismissive. I mean he states "this is my experience in Sweden", so I'm not sure how death rates in Spain and Italy are relevant to his observations.

And the "T-cell immunity" is factually correct. Even the NYTimes wrote an article on how people who have never been exposed to Covid, do indeed, appear to have some level of immunity due to T-cell and likely prior infection by a related virus.[1]

I also saw US media describe a protest against the Iraq war by school children as "Hitler's Children: Pro-Saddam protesters in Munich" in the caption of a photo of a blonde kid. Yes, right-wing people are a large part of it, and too many people who are not right-wing aren't critical enough of that. But to simply paint it all with one broad brush and call it a day simply betrays an agenda rather than being an accurate description of reality.

I like the term "search database", since it's a database that has some APIs and logic purpose-built for general search engines built on top of it. Elasticsearch, for example, is frequently used as a document-oriented data store rather than a search engine, like in the case of Kibana or APM.
You have grasped all the points. Yes, there's a break at that point. Anecdote's over, time to go into the next part. No, she didn't do anything particularly daring or shitstorm-causing; in fact it was a fairly obvious thing to do, but things like that tend to be perceived by cowards as too risky, so she or someone like her always ends up being the one to do it.
Unfortunately, it turns out that the estimate of the years of life lost due to Covid per person is significantly larger than "two or three years". For example, "New study finds coronavirus can cut life span by 10 years or more" (see https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/longevity/49...), and there are other more recent studies that go into more detail in the US looking at populations (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/how-many-...).

I think we can and should safely ignore what people who protest against public health measures in a pandemic say, especially when it's rebelling against life-saving emergency measures.

Shame be upon such short-sighted folks who think that their "freedom" to not wear a mask is greater than others right to merely live.

I'll say it again: can you imagine what the survivors of World War 2 lived through? 10 years of being nervous everytime you try to go to the toilet...
and these modern crybabies and their anti-vaccine lies want you to take them seriously?

It's not right.
As yet another person outside of the USA I see the apps as being basically the same, all based on psychological research related to attention and how to get and keep it. I don't use any of them and block a number of them on my network at home so as to keep my daughters from becoming hooked.

I do see a difference between the way these companies interface with their respective governments, as far as I know there is no USA equivalent of the Chinese version of the Soviet Nomenklatura. Especially since Xi Jinping came to power the CCP has been taking strides to reinforce its control over business [1], backed by a number of laws which mandate companies to assist the state when it so demands.

So what do I do? I blocked TikTok a while ago, I blocked Facebook more or less forever. Instagram and Twitter are unblocked for now, the first because my 15yo daughter uses it, the second because nobody here uses it personally nor has any inclination of doing so while it is often used by others as a news distribution channel. We don't use Google directly but get search results through a local Searx instance which includes - among others - Google Search. We don't use Google Maps [2] , that task is relegated to ~OsmAnd (for navigation and mapping) and some local mapping sites. No Gmail, I run my own mail server. No Zoom, again using our own video conferencing (Jitsi Meet) and chat (Nextcloud talk) servers. No Google Docs, Libreoffice Online in Nextcloud works fine. In short we use no external services when we can avoid them, keeping nearly everything in-house and under our own control. A private VPN makes sure our data stays ours even when using public Wifi. While this may sound elaborate and in some ways probably is elaborate it makes it possible to reap the benefits of the 'net without ending up being milked dry by all those data herders out there, whether they're driven by profit maximisation or intended as tool in geopolitical power plays.

Your first paper isn't a counter argument at all. It's just a measure of excess deaths (which the doctor never claimed weren't happening).

She kind of talks about it in the last paragraph. I don't think she was talking about someone specifically (although she may have somebody in mind) but in general.

"Eventually you end up spending all your time trying to look busy, avoid responsibility and save face by scapegoating others. "

"The end result of this is that it often feels like everyone at the top is maliciously incompetent."

This, according to her, is how you end up with an idiot running an engineering org.

> 1 out of 200 dying? try around 8% in Spain and Italy...

You have conflated the CFR and IFR, and are thereby spreading gross misinformation. From the article:

> And remember, the risk of dying is at the very most 1 in 200 if you actually do get infected.

They're talking about the risk of dying "if you actually do get infected" (i.e., IFR), not the risk of dying if you get infected and test positive (i.e., CFR). Most people infected suffer mild enough symptoms that they don't seek a test, so the CFR is much higher than the IFR. This is especially true during severe outbreaks, where people with mild symptoms are explicitly encouraged to just stay home until they get better (or worse) to avoid further stressing the medical system.

A recent meta-analysis estimates the IFR around 0.7%[1], a little higher than the Swedish doctor's numbers but pretty close. The exact number will vary dramatically with the age structure of the population, since the IFR is >100x for old people vs. young.

>If I told you to list 3 things you're grateful for each day, and hounded and sanctioned you for not doing it, if I talked about all these Nazis I know who incidentally also are not doing it, and meaningfully nodded your way every time, and made fun of you in filter bubbles... wouldn't you just do this minor thing that may actually be beneficial and is unlikely to do harm?

The difference being that there is a strong scientific consensus that wearing a mask will save many peoples lives. I don't want to be patronizing and me pointing out that op was in a minority merely wanted to correct the "fellow germans" statement. But sometimes it's difficult not to be patronizing if you are following the strong scientific consensus on a topic. Because wearing masks shouldn't be a political issue if you can't develop a reasonable counterargument.
Yes! I used it a bunch and it was free. Had a friend that was prosecuted by the feds. It was a long/complex case and I pulled up all the documents for it, multiple times. I ended up not being charged a thing! Though the pricing was very opaque. I assumed I would be charged something so was surprised a bit when it was all free. (though they should have made this much more clear)

I feel like using PACER data to inform stock trading signals is a pretty niche use case... For "regular people" that have a connection with a few cases, I think it should be free, and it was in my experience.

> It's a thinkpiece that is not grounded in the scientific reality.

What does that mean? As a scientist myself, 'science' can basically never say anything definitive about reality. Not for something extremely well measured and controlled like GR, and especially not something where the evidence on the ground and influencing factors (policy, social opinion, culture) shift with a frequency on the same order of scale that our measurements can be tallied.

That's assuming the tail call is visible in human-level source code. You could also have a situation where A tail-calls B, B tail-calls C and C tail-calls A. If B and C get inlined, you now have the opportunity to convert A's self-tail-call into a loop. Refactoring A manually may not be desirable, e.g. if inlining B and C cause significant code duplication, or if they live in entirely different libraries.

Even if true, it's still less down than any other European nations, and the only one not in a recession, because you're not taking the previous quarter into account as well.
You seem like somebody who I could ask some (2) questions on the topic.

1. First of, I'm still not sure what to make of Gödel's theorems philosophically. In the "pop-culture", so to speak, there seems to be a notion that Gödel's theorems are, in essence, some grand, weighty statement about fundamental "inaccessibility of truth". That since Peano's arithmetic exemplifies very simple (compared to our general needs) mathematical system, no matter how we further develop math, one day there will be a useful, meaningful statement which cannot be proved or disproved.

What's perhaps even worse, some people, even some with names I feel uncomfortable to argue against (Penrose, for example, seems to be of this opinion) try to use it as a transition to the idea that "human mind is more than a computer", which I always implicitly assumed to be just a manifestation of anthropocentric hubris. The key to their reasoning is the observation, that some expressions unprovable within some formal system are "obviously true" (and they often kinda are, and they are provable within a higher-order formal system). So, the story goes, since the Turing machine couldn't see it (because of Gödel's), but we see it, we are more than a Turing machine.

And since that informal version of Gödel's findings was familiar to me long before I was acquainted with a formal version of it, I'm kinda used to the idea that "it must be right".

However, when I'm looking at the formal explanation of Gödel's theorems, or even perhaps more interesting "applied" findings, based on them (like Goodstein's theorem), they all seem to be surprisingly "boring" and non-consequential clever tricks based on self-referencing. I mean, it's sure a very interesting finding about formal systems as such, but if we take a step back into the realms of common sense: isn't it rather quite intuitive, that a system cannot be proven to be consistent by the means of the same system? So it must be of no surprise that any formal system powerful enough to be able to express statements about consistency of itself must be "incomplete".

So, my question is, am I missing something? Is there any truth to that pop-cultural image of Gödel's theorems? Because to me it seems like there actually isn't, just more of an "urban myth".

2. Continuum hypothesis. As I understand it, it is a matter of axiom, if 2^Aleph₀ ?= Aleph₁ and |R| could be as well Aleph₅ or whatever. Of course, we have most natural axiomatic system (with axiom of determinacy) where the former is true. But are there, like it was with Euclid's fifth postulate, any alternative, but still "interesting" constructs? Is there any use whatsoever in the assertion that continuum hypothesis is false?
Connecting people, she'll gravitate to being a natural leader. You could say she might already be a leader, and she even recognize people can act as a leader without having the position.

People are cut out for different things. You have "brave" teachers, and you have "brave" managers. We all recognize them, but don't appreciate them as people enough, even when these breeds are rare gems.

Even for someone shy, with experience and hard work, one might end up becoming a death-defying samurai.

What the text doesn't recognize is that many people just don't feel all that much or have that much empathy. So there's less of a spur to actually do the work to become a natural leader or go into enough depth.

You can still run the Finder in mostly spatial by hiding the toolbar and sidebar. I prefer it that way. Then ⌘↑ does exactly what you think.

This is a reasonably good example (except it's binary to hex, not just BCD to hex), but it's from the start of the year and based on the already out of date version 0.8 draft spec.

A couple of things need to be changed to bring it up to date:

-vlbu.v v16, (a1)
+vle8.v v16, (a1)
+vzext.vf2 v16, v16

-vsb.v v24, (a0)
+vse8.v v24, (a0)

I'd also probably make (or at least compare the speed of) one more change:

-vrgather.vv v24, v8, v16
+vmsgtu.vi v0, v16, 9 # set mask-bit if >9
+vadd.vi v16, v16, '0' # add '0' to each element
+vadd.vi v16, v16, 'a'-0xA-'0', v0.t # masked add to correct A..F

That's basically the same code as he used to create the lookup table in v8 for the vrgather. I think it might run faster on many machines, and also the vrgather would fail on the smallest machines (with only 32 bits in each vector register) if anyone modified the code to not use m8 (LMUL=8).

Actually, there is debate about the conservation of energy over cosmological length scales.

e.g. if new voxels of spacetime are created during, and they contain zero-point energy... may account for photons losing energy as they red shift over large distances.
I actually know someone who is a one-woman PR agency in Hawaii with mostly (all?) West Coast clients. Yes, she gets up at like 5AM.

I have a lot of calls that are mostly people in eastern time and central European time. It mostly works pretty well. We schedule calls typically between about 8:30 and 11 ET. Sometimes those of us in ET have a bit earlier calls than we prefer and the Europeans have calls a bit later than they'd prefer but it works pretty well. And we just don't expect Europeans to get back to us on the same day if we send them an email in the afternoon and they don't expect us to respond to emails in their morning.

Of course, if you're contracting the client may well want a more synchronized schedule.
That's simply incorrect. Even just looking at the government website it literally states that people should distance themselves. https://www.krisinformation.se/en/hazards-and-risks/disaster...
NYC is a good case study since it's one of the first place hit and is now more or less "done" with covid in the same sense used in this article (it had a peak and is now on the right tail).

NYC is at 2716 cases per 100k and 281 deaths per 100k: https://www.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases

States with aggressive reopening policies like Florida/Louisana/Arizona etc had spikes recently but are also coming back down. They are sitting at around 2-3k cases per 100k (deaths will lag).

Even if the reason why those states "peaked" is because of herd immunity, it seems like it still requires at least 3k cases per 100k. That would translate to 300k cases for a population of 10 million but Sweden is only at 80k right now.

I highly doubt they have herd immunity.
>instead lead to a Congressional investigation and later the Senate Intelligence Committee to provide oversight

Though, it lead to no actual punishment for anyone involved in the program. Further, the only reason such a show trial was possible was that the CIA accidentally missed a box of records when they destroyed all of the evidence. What use is oversight when the agency can destroy all the evidence?
Exactly.

I was talking to people at the IETF about this last year. One person said the ideal use of the IETF (and RFC process) is to take situations when multiple companies have solved the same problem. The IETF puts everyone in a room (/mailing list) together and lets us collectively figure out a single interoperable protocol that all the members can implement in order to make their systems compatible.

The golden path isn't "Joe blogs needs a protocol for something so he writes an RFC". Its "Joe need a protocol. He writes his own and iterates on it. Later he meets Sarah and Dave who've all written similar protocols to solve the same problem at their own organizations. Together they approach the IETF and form a working group to discuss a standard."

Reality is usually much more messy than this; but generally the IETF should never be a bottleneck for people who want to write code and try things out. Racing ahead of whats written in RFCs doesn't stand in opposition to the RFC process. The opposite - racing ahead is a necessary part of the process, because we need collective experience in how to solve a problem in order to write good standards.

Why should this come as a surprise? The US is losing a third of its GDP this year.

So many junior software jobs were recently incentivized to be little more than button pressers reliant upon tools and frameworks to do the job. There is very little value in that and such value is mostly superficial. Once employers realize they can get by with fewer developers when those developers aren’t afraid to write original code those over paid lost developer jobs aren’t coming back.
This is so callous.

You're casually talking about the deaths of hundreds of thousands, maybe a million people.

_Of course_ your government cares. They _also_ care about needless death. They're trying to walk the tightrope.

ISPs and wireless carriers are the most profitable companies in the USA all with 60% gross profit margin if you look and any of the financials.

When my friend was younger he worked for a cable company, where he did installs. He said the capital costs were usually covered in the first month of service, and everything was gravy after that.

So. What if in another country instead of extracting the profit, they put 5% of it back into the infrastructure. I suspect you would have what a lot of europeans have - fast internet. And what if you didn't take as much profit? You would have the other thing europeans have, cheap internet.

I mean, I like capitalism. It works! But I think there are some things that are out of whack.
