Age is not the only thing that could raise an individual's risk factor to 10%. There is no reason why individuals not in their 80s might, for some other reason, be in a category with higher mortality risk. Honestly, we don't know that much about this disease yet - but we do know that the outcomes for different people can be very diverse.

One problem with age-based stats like this is that it gives the impression that the way to think about risk is along the lines of russian roulette: when someone gets infected, the great actuary in the sky rolls a D100, consults the tables, and if their roll is good, they don't die.

But what if the die was already rolled for some individuals? What if, say, one in 100 people carry a genetic risk factor that means that if they get COVID, they have a much higher risk of dying - regardless of their age? That hypothesis is also compatible with the statistical data we are looking at.

You could also consider, what if some people have particular predisposition to become a superspreader and infect many more people?

If the population contains individuals for whom their individual outcome risk, or their potential impact on other people, is significantly above the average, then by reducing the spread of the disease we reduce the number of such people who ever get infected. You can prevent the D100 having to be rolled for as many people, including people who need to roll much higher to survive.
I think there is a miscommunication in "worth" between some of the posts here.

Definition 1. - your version
"a worker is only "worth" $50/hour if there is a supply of people willing to pay them $50/hour."

Definition 2.
"a worker is "worth" $50/hour if they add $50/hour value for the business." (who then goes on to pay the worker as little as possible, maybe only $5/hr)

Not sure which definition is "correct".
There is no "lockup". Quit spreading misinformation.

Can I offer an alternate viewpoint?

Epic didn't simply implement their own in-app purchase plan; they also remotely updated Fortnite to include it after it had passed app review (because Apple wouldn't have approved it, obviously). The whole point of app review is that Apple can assure its customers that apps are safe to run. Having apps that bypass the review by updating themselves subverts the whole process. You may not agree with the app review process, but it's clearly a feature that Apple regards as an important selling point.

Given that Epic has demonstrated a willingness to subvert the app review process, why should Apple allow such an untrustworthy developer to place its apps on any Apple platform?

(To be clear, Apple has said that they will gladly allow Epic back onto the App Store if they remove the private in-app purchase mechanism, so apparently Apple has not fully adopted this viewpoint -- at least, not yet...)
I like coding and I've always been terrible at drawing. Granted, I never worked very hard at, but I was pretty abysmal to start with.

What I do like is drafting as in with AutoCAD or similar software. It's one thing to try to hand draw a line that accurately represents the outline of a human face. It's quite another to just say "Ok, this should be 16 cm long in the horizontal direction then turn 45 degrees with curve that has a radius of 1cm..." and so on.

The latter makes a lot more sense to me a produces much better results.
This is true(ish)..

> Happened to my last company, the new company didn't want to budge and it must have cost £20k to rectify compared to the few hundred it would have cost if we'd registered it ourselves when we started trading 10 years earlier.

£20k might be cheap compared to the fees associated with keeping a TM registered in multiple categories in multiple countries for 10 years.

It's pretty easy to spend $5K registering a TM in two countries across the number of categories you'd expect most SAAS companies to register in, and generally I think that gives 5 years of protection.

Those applications generally haven't been focused on putting ridiculous horsepower in a tiny format and then running a highly variable load while dissipating heat.

For example Axial flux motors are still very much being developed with a steady flow of breakthroughs (Magnax, Emrax), and have mind bending power to weight ratios. A lot of the current issues seem to be around heat dissipation, which is where I am hoping some of the next big wins are.

I'm a bit sad that currently easily available motors are currently not in the same league as Tesla (I have a 50kw Me1616 and Sevcon 4 sitting on my bench) but it looks like that is slowly changing.
In what ways is it a good place to be?
Not sure about currently, but I'm the past there were quite a number of options for running Android on a set top box, but very few options for running Android TV on one. You need to make sure the device you're looking at is actually running Android TV, not the standard version of Android.
Yeah, no.

Filing for bankruptcy will never, ever be equivalent to someone dying from willful negligence because you wanted to keep you business open.

Full stop. There's no argument you could make, it's never going to be equivalent and there's nothing you can say that will balance that out.

I say again, fuck your business. Any size of business. Small family business, large corporation, hot dog stand. If you can't it open, safely, without getting people killed, then you're toast.

Any argument you make is just muddying the waters. This is very clear and unambiguous.
This isn’t really substantially different than regular influenza. Indeed a very high proportion of flu patients show the exact same CMRI heart changes.[1]

Yet we know that while heart attack risk is elevated for a few weeks after a bout of flu, it reverts to baseline for virtually all otherwise healthy patients.

The myth of long-term COVID heart damage is, as of the evidence yet, media scaremongering. We have no reason to believe that COVID behaves any different than any other common respiratory infection in this regard.

if labour owns the capital, then that "somebody providing the capital" still exists. Coops demonstrates that profit still need to exist, which is contradictory to the idea that labour should get all the profits.

The only way "labour gets all the profits" is under the umbrella of communism - and even then, the state still extracts profit anyway (just under a different name - that of central allocation).
> The argument is about whether or not it makes sense to shut down the entire economy when only the very sick, very old, or very obese are really at serious risk.

Tell that to my buddy who almost died. Healthy, early 40s, no pre-existing conditions.

Also... there are plenty of people who do not fall in out-group rhetoric of being “Very sick, very old, or very obese” who are extremely vulnerable. Or, is that you just define “very sick” as anyone who is not like you?

> It isn't being done by a political party for partisan goals, though there are certainly innumerable willing and willfully blind accomplishes in the party infrastructure.

Yes it is; dismantling the public post has been a Republican partisan goal for more than half a century, it's why we have the USPS instead of the US Post Office, it's why the USPS when it didn't fail quickly enough was saddled with unique pre-funding requirements for retiree health benefits, and it's why the members of the Republican Party that don't have direct buy in to the additional corrupt motivations of the present administration are standing by while it happens. The same is true of similar, more -immediately-corrupt-than-the-broader-partisan-motive efforts elsewhere in this administration that leverage long-standing Republican partisan interests.

> It is being done by a criminal leadership, as part of ordinary practice.

That's also true, but it's not either/or.

If your professor is working in on object detection they know what mAP is - all the major datasets use it as their standard evaluation criteria.
> what does labor get when there are temporarily low or negative profits?

good question - the current system ensures that labour gets paid, regardless of profits being negative or not (until the company collapses). This is enshrined into law - you cannot leave wages unpaid, and it sits above creditors in seniority.

I suggest reading more carefully. I wrote “with some notable exceptions” very deliberately. I had exactly the Jackson presidency and the 1850s-1860s in mind.

But I figured that HN is an educated audience, so no need to specify the few exceptions I had in mind.

BTW, 2008 and 2000 don’t even compare with 1828, or 2016. The election of 2016, and the (only partially merited) furor that has followed it will unquestionably stand out in US history, quite possibly as a prelude to our descent into another civil conflict.

And what’s rose-colored is making an oblique claim that our current political situation is nothing more than business as usual.

I don't think anyone ever said that.

What people are really saying, AVX-512; in its current form, limited by Clockspeed, Thermals, and most importantly market segmentation.

And given all these three things are only slightly improved in the current 3 years roadmap render the instruction useless. ( But latest HotChip information seems to suggest they are well aware of it. So Roadmap can change )

And even more importantly that is in reference to current stack of Intel issues.

Different people are saying different things but your question is most important.

Is this a limitation of the spec or of the implementations? For example, Figure 1 in the paper mentions ASLR as missing in wasm but can't a wasm JIT choose to deploy ASLR if it wants to? Edit: I read the section 3.3 now and it seems that the stack and the heap live in the same linear memory, which is obviously bad. But function addresses can still be randomly offset, no?

Also the paper admits that security has been an important component of the design of wasm: "The design of WebAssembly includes various features to ensure binary security. For example, the memory maintained by a WebAssembly program is separated from its code, the execution stack, and the data structures of the underlying VM. To prevent type-related crashes and attacks, binaries are designed to be easily type-checked,which they are statically before execution. Moreoever, WebAssembly programs can only jump to designated code locations,a form of fault isolation that prevents many classic control flow attacks."
Wow!

When I was trying to google data I don’t think I ever came across the ABS site in the results. 2016 was also 400ish deaths.
I’d been expecting articles like this to pop up soon. USPS has long been known for its efficiency in moving poultry around the country. All our birds arrived by mail as day-old chicks and like the article indicated, it isn’t uncommon to move hundreds at a time with very limited loss. That said - it’s only possible to make this work because the USPS has had a functioning, effective system for decades, where birds are born Monday and typically to their destination somewhere in the country no later than wednesday. The boxes have a chemical warmer and the birds have just enough food in their tummies to make it across the country. When I started hearing about these delays, I knew this would be a problem as their little lives are on a time-sensitive system that works because everyone from the hatchery to the receiving farmer understands the criticality.
The average user would be terribly confused by all this and would hardly bother to even analyze requirements that are asked by any app. They will simply allow everything.

More importantly, if they see something like a permissions screen, they will have a false sense of security.

And severe restrictions on the app, would hamper user experience. Code signing and developer ID are the most practical means to ensure quality software.
Yes, and for 51% of the time it's all a priceless, privileged joy. And the other 49% is you feeling guilty because you are short of time trying to parent, work, keep and maintain a house; you want to encourage a broader palate or cook once for everyone but they gripe about what you've cooked, antagonise each other, mess up the house in creative new ways, etc.

That's assuming you are an engaged parent and intended to have them.

I imagine school is an effective piece of the puzzle because it offers peers plus dedicated, trained professionals keeping everyone on track without having to also clean the house, take client calls, cook, etc.

Back up the comment chain though, I think in a year like this and at younger ages, you can relax any homeschool attempts. Months ago when quarantine peaked in South Australia, we took our kids out of school and had a very free-form program. Get up late, make bread together, do a bit of gardening, play Lego, building challenges, drawing, screen time, etc. Combo of bumming around at home with practical, learning activities. Fine by the kids and less stress for parents.

> What if I said, I thought we could achieve the same results at 10% of the cost?

I'd say it's irrelevant what you or I think. What's relevant is what a politically viable legislation can achieve. That does not include UBI in the US today (unless you are an Alaska resident receiving money from their oil fund), but there is plenty that is achievable short of a UBI today that will put a floor under people, like a federal jobs guarantee, and universal healthcare and pre-K education.

We do, however, have plenty of actual evidence that shows the historical correlation between higher top marginal income tax rates, the building of infrastructure, and the growth of middle class prosperity in the US - at least for a particular subset of the population.

> What if I think many of the policies actually do great harm? > What if I'm in jail for a nonviolent drug offense?

I would agree that non violent drug offenders shouldn't be in jail - and that drugs should be treated as an economic and health problem, not a criminal issue. We can lower incarceration costs in the process. But we must also put a floor under people so they are less likely to turn to drug dealing or illicit behavior so readily.
The schools need to be open. Child abuse ER visits are up 35%[0]. Let that sink in. If a child goes to the ER for abuse, it's not because they have a black eye. They likely have broken bones, or are unresponsive. Thirty-five percent!

Schools provide surveillance into things like child abuse, the need for hearing aids, the need for speech therapy classes .. and school lunches provide nutrition standards for many underprivileged children. All of that in gone.

I know plenty of friends who taught on-line University classes prior to 2020 who told me the students cheat and the courts are pretty much bullshit. You get out of any program what you put into it, and college students have the ability to put things into their programs. Children needs socialization with other human beings.

The threat to children is minuscule. The threat to teachers under 40 years of age is also not great. We can pay the wages of older teachers and help them find new roles, quickly remove teachers who become CoV2 positive and find means to keep the schools open. Closing down schools is the worst idea possible.

Certum seems to be reasonable for open source code.
You can probably set your pi up as a gateway itself, and proxy everything though it. I've never seen any device that doesn't trust the default gateway given by the router, nor have I seen any that try other addresses if the default gateway doesn't exist.

I don't have any more information on that, though. I would like to set up a caching proxy as a gateway, but iirc squid doesn't like https in any form. I've had too many times where some app needs to download the same large file on every run, or I want to use some massive webapp in private browsing mode.

> But it brings up questions for the future - what happens when AI is wrong but used as proof of something?

I worry that the pace at which things like this will get packaged as “absolutely reliable, scientifically proven” technologies to all sorts of consumers will be far greater than the pace at which our language catches up with abstract ideas with which nuances can be widely communicated.
Yes, I also agree. I want to put in my own software, and it can just as well be something external. There are neverthess some considerations, such as picture setting (including backlight controls), volume controls (if you are not using external speakers), input select (if there is more than one), OSD suppress, etc. Connect devices together with IMIDI cables when wanted to program one device to command another (e.g. for date/time synchronization, VCR recording, to transmit captions independently from the picture, to affect volume/input using a unified interface, etc). You could add a separate computer with your own software and then use the existing display, to display its output, and deal with remote control even turn it on/off automatically, or if the display has its own IR receiver, using that to control the computer, using IMIDI to do it either way (IMIDI-over-IR from the remote control, then send to the IMIDI cable connected to the computer, and the computer may send back a command to switch the input or whatever, or forward the command to another device such as a VCR, etc).

If you can use your own computer instead with your own software, then you can program it for the feature you like, such as what I might like to include would be numbered menus, caption scrollback, OSD suppress, etc. This can then be implemented, including the exact way of how you want the captions rendered (font, opacity, etc), the OSD timeout and position, the type of command input (e.g. if you want it like Vim), if you want it to include Viewdata, and everything else you will want.

Since, if it is a dumb display then it will not render captions by itself, nor most of the menus you might use, so you can instead do it by yourself, and it may well be designed better than what everyone else does.

But, well, I would also like a 4:3 display, and without HDCP, and with the possibility to add a full side panel with the channel/mode display separate from the TV screen (like some old TV sets do).
I was in primary school in the 80s and it was like .. 8am to 2:30 I think? ... pretty much stayed that way until high school, which I think let out at 3:30 or 4 ... mostly because we all rode the same buses and they had to go to each school to load up.

The Rust definition of 'unsafe' is very far from the everyday meaning.

Yeah you can mentally substitute 'rustc_cannot_vouch_for' but why can't Rust use a word closer in meaning to that in the first place?

We tend to misuse everyday meanings I think. I reminded of

1. the msdos warning that 'this program has used an illegal instruction and will be shut down'

2. That DNS names with underscore are 'illegal'. This one caused an amusing kerfuffle at one company I worked at.

3. That certain crypto algos are 'broken'
I would request that we please not rehash this debate here. It's been debated at length already elsewhere on HN. This is why I didn't mention Epic in my blog post, even though it's clearly the subtext.

The point of my blog post wasn't to defend Epic, but rather to explain how difficult it would be for a developer to continue distributing software on the Mac without a code signature approved by macOS. The frequent suggestion is that users could "just right click", but it's not that simple.
Not the original commenter, but no, I'd hope not, in its current state. It's a shallow analysis, and it does a poor job of analyzing the data to try to understand causality in explaining case trends.

For example:

> Why would Floridas numbers start to decrease if not for herd immunity? We know they aren’t being more careful. Disney land reopened and there is a police sheriff who literally made a rule that police officers and people going into the station were not allowed to wear masks.

As I mentioned in another comment:

> For example, bars opened in early June in Florida. They closed on June 26th after cases started spiking.

To miss a policy change this significant in such a piece is pretty egregious if you are claiming that this is publishable quality.

I'll assume this was a good faith effort, but the piece has many flaws and draws conclusions that aren't well supported.
This is an argument for the corporate research lab, where you have people on staff who know how to do things. Xerox PARC was able to build the first laser printer because they were in the same building as the people who worked on copier technology. So they had people who knew about photoconductors and paper feeding and getting the toner to stick to the right part of the paper.
