Are all the conditions listed in that table acute symptoms that contributed to COVID death? No.

Is it a lie to say that every person in the US whose life ended due to COVID had on average 2.6 pre-existing conditions? Yes.

Stop lying.

but that doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of the seriously ill were not healthy before catching the virus.

2.6 pre-existing conditions as you claimed above or,
now, “vast majority of the seriously ill”?

Give statistics that you can back up with data, along with definitions for “vast majority” and “seriously ill”, or you’re spreading dezinformatsia.
Different kinds of toxicity-- mocking people for missing a mate or hanging a piece is tempting (and perhaps stings more than some random's judgment call about whether you played a round well in some non-perfect-knowledge, reflex-drive game). So more of that type of problem, but a bit less of other types like sexism.
You seem to be leaving out the group of Americans who worked hard, succeeded, and improved their situation.
Not me.. I’m exactly the opposite. Happy to WFH forever, and I’m in senior management at a financial services company.

Seems we each have to make our stands with every article on this. But I’m not sure any of them are saying anything different within the body of this reporting. Go back to the office if you want, but I hope businesses can adjust to a mix of office arrangements, and WFH arrangements.

I generally agree, but some things are over the line, and a fire hazard feels like a good case.

i think the problem is that in general, you can't assume that you'll be the only/last person to use that device, and you can't assume that the next person will understand the context in the way you do. I mean if you're doing it in your home, it's still kind of dodgy, but in a professional setting something like this definitely has no place, temporary or otherwise.
Do you live in the US?

This is, roughly, the modern version of the american dream...

Be born to a middle class family living in the suburbs of a major city. Go to k-8 and maybe learn a bit (it's mostly highly structured childcare with learning sprinkled on top). Go to high school, get good enough grades that you get into AP classes. Get enough AP credit that you enter the college of your choice with plenty of headroom for a 4-year degree. Then take 5 years to do a 4-year degree. Learn how to live alone and be responsible while at college. Graduate, get a nice entry-level job through connections you made at university making ~1.5x median household income for your city. Get married. Climb the corporate ladder and have kids. And so on.

Obviously this is extremely specific, assumes a lot of privilege, and so on. But this is the path that will have your snooty aunt having nothing bad to say about you at Thanksgiving.

The important think to note is that, basically after leaving high school, the above plan has you living outside your parents house (even if you're still not totally independent). Moving back home after college is a pretty big step down in freedom (don't have to sneak your dates out the back door before your parents wake up, among many many other things).

So, from two different sides: one, people used to dorm or college living won't want to downgrade back to being under their parents' thumb to any degree. And two, being back in your parents' house post-high-school indicates a lot of things to potential partners and maybe even employers (though obviously decent ones won't ask or care..... but lots of employers aren't decent).

It's totally just a cultural thing. I think it will probably shift fast here in the next 20 years though. There are a lot of people in the 23-29 age range who have found the american dream I described above to be a pretty shitty deal that isn't attainable for a large portion of the population.
Someone mentioned federation but the problem is that often there isn't a good group to federate. Google+ wasn't great, but I do miss circles. But the intersection of my circles and the circles of those in my circles were small.

I feel like the "correct" model is users hosting their data with apps operating on it in a decentralized (or multi-layer federation ) way. But the economics are just really, really hard without certain restrictions, like always on connections for a primary 'home' device.
You plug one end into a hot AC outlet. Now the other end has hot 110-120V AC on exposed pins. Touch them and you are in for a bad time.

A normal extension cord like we've all used has a plug at one end and a socket at the other, so you won't get killed by simply mishandling it.

I love this part of the product description:

"It Can Help Protect Your Family And Keep Them Safe"

Right...

Having said that, the longer Product Description With Every Word Capitalized explains the use case somewhat:

You've lost power and it will be likely be out for quite some time. But you had the foresight to have a generator and one of these cords. You plug one end into your generator and the other end into an ordinary wall outlet. Now every outlet on that circuit will be powered from your generator.

However, your normal fuse or circuit breaker will not protect you from an overload on that circuit, because you've just hotwired your generator into the "house" side of the circuit. So, as the description says, you may be able to power your refrigerator and some lights, but overload the circuit and you may burn your house down.

Also be sure to turn off that breaker or remove the fuse on that circuit. Otherwise you will be having some fun when power is restored!

Oh gosh, it gets even better. Check out the reviews on the Amazon listing!

Finally, I would like to thank the parent commenter for asking an honest question. Perhaps it sounded naive to some, but I appreciate a question like that, as it gave several of us a chance to explain the issues around this kind of electrical cord.
It's an networking mechanism to send state changes to the other agent and broadcast them to nearby subscribers. It has the side effect of semi-durably persisting the state, too.

You are granting CCP omniscience, power and integrity they don't have.

Apple probably came to China to expand their market, had enough lawyers to navigate the muddy bureaucracy, CCP could block them regardless but decided to let them open shops and profit from taxes for now. Many Chinese would buy Apple products overseas in HK or Taiwan anyway; CCP is powerless to stop it and would not mind a share of the sales.

CCP may be blind to Western values brought in by Apple, or discount their influence, or tolerate them for now because it is economically lucrative.

Ask HN: Who uses SAFe? Do you find it useful?
In a recent thread, I noticed a sub-thread about SAFe (https://www.scaledagileframework.com). I work at a large organization and my division recently adopted SAFe. I find that it offers nothing original, costs our teams a lot of time on process overhead, neglects improving our engineering practices, and feels like Agile-on-steroids, which seems to me to be the antithesis of the Agile Manifesto.

Should I give SAFe a chance? Do any successful technology or other companies benefit from SAFe?

Interesting, I haven't read that.

However, I really think it's a stretch to assume that judge's are immune to presentation style.
The problem with allowing children at home forever is a lack of forced maturity. Why bother figuring out life as an adult when instead you can continue to live carefree as a child? That is problematic in that it continues to reinforce entitlements and expectations that are associated with dependence and risk aversion without consideration for the costs and consequences therein.

As somebody with a high school senior I am ready for my kid to enter the world. It’s not that I want to get rid of her but instead as a responsible parent I want to push in the controlled direction of accepting greater independence and responsibility. In putting that stress upon my child, which was a normal expectation 20 years ago, I am helping my child develop continued maturity well beyond her peers.
This sounds interesting is any of this public or publicly blogged about?
At 15 amp circuit breaker will trip in 3-10 seconds if confronted with a 45 amp load.

The number of sockets on an extension cord is immaterial to the available current just as is the number of receptacles on a circuit.

Putting 12 two-socket receptacles on a 15 amp circuit does not mean you can get 360 amps, after all.

The risk with 13 amp extension cords is the gap between the extension cord's safe capacity and the trip point of the circuit breaker. If you plug a 13 amp cord into a 20 amp T-slot receptacle, the breaker will happily supply 20 amps indefinitely even as the cord melts and ignites.

> Finally backup comments are the ones where the developer comments older versions of some code block or even a whole function, because she or he is insecure about the change that was operated in the new one. What is puzzling is that this still happens now that we have Git.

It's not puzzling _at all_. The implications of choices (which aren't limited to small blocks of idempotent code) are not a matter of reading through the history and figuring out "hey right HERE it could have been done differently".

There are many points where the strategy or specific implementation (due to the flux of integrations with ever-changing dependencies) have had relevant implementations and dead-ends, which serve as a teaching tool. The surrounding code often looks strange and wasteful, until you see the comment showing what USED to be there 20 commits ago.

There's also the planned commit, which is one where a functional bit of code is done and a dependency isn't ready before handoff to another team or developer. Ever had to wait for months for an integration? It happens all the time. Putting a specific integration in another branch you have access to, that may not be accessible for internal procedure reasons to someone else, leaves a developer with an obvious path forward to salvage the work - put it in the code commented out with a little teaching.

How many times do you make a change and it goes to prod without tests? Happens all the time. Those kinds of places don't always have typical branch hygiene.

You can label these different kinds of comments different things, but they are usually to these esoteric ends rather than "just for nostalgic 'membering".
You might find my comment in this thread listing some book recommendations, useful.

Machines can also throw javelins and shots farther than any human can ever hope to. Hydraulics can trivially lift more than any strong man. A large enough spring can outperform any long jumper. More directly relatable, chess engines have been outperforming the grand masters for a decade now.

That a machine can outperform a human doesn't make a human doing it unimpressive. The excitement and fun of the competition remains.
Thank you for your questions!

* Can you not have to press microphone for every command

We are working on it!

* Can you type commands

Yes!

* How strict are the presets. CN you make something more free form

By default, you get a progressive web app and a flutter project that could be modified in any way possible. We're working on more exporting options like exporting to native Swift iOS, Kotlin Android, and gaming Unity projects. Currently, you can create a quiz or survey app, including the "taking" surveys with voice support. E-commerce and a simple CRM app are being integrated and will be available very soon.

We're open to feedback and can add pretty much any app preset in the future.
So what you’re saying in a scornful way is: What a world we live in where honest debate is met with scorn?

The woe of a startup founder being tasked to debate his quest of influencing agency of others?

Some of us had ethics in engineering where it was made clear the things we make can influence peoples agency.

I’m sorry your privilege for mass influence of public agency might be impacted by open debate. That informed might somehow undermine you or similarly minded free enterprise folks, is of course to be avoided.

We shouldn’t have the agency of others considered at all!

There's nothing wrong with it, but there's a lot of reasons the child wouldn't want that, and I think that's the reason it's used as a metric of an unhealthy economy is because it indicates they have no other choice. EG: Want to have friends over but not have your parents involved? Can't do that if you don't have your own place.
This makes a lot of sense. The post definitely lacked context about whether the cable was in use or if it was just something found in the server room. It's a shame the author simply assumed other people are stupid rather than bothering to investigate and understand what's going on.
A ton of college age students literally can not go to college right now. Are they included in these stats, or are college age students listed as living at home by default? I cannot make it out from the link.

If so, this seems really obvious and that is was useless research.

I would go so far as to say that what you're doing with it is a relatively legitimate use of it, and plugging a machine that demands a higher amperage is unlikely to cause a problem because anything with a standard plug ending is likely to be circuit broken to the correct amperage. The scary device is the inverse of this device.
Effectively you've already doxxed yourself. The ability to associate a real name with an address without excessive effort predates the internet and these days it is even easier, so with the internet the only winning move is not to play. Stop using your real name, period. Creating fame and an online persona that can pay your bills is directly at odds with maintaining privacy.

> Xenophobia is very low in SG. People expect to know foreigners and want foreigners to bring business or capital or skills.

An incredibly consistent social problem Singapore has had is dealing with the fact that Singapore is essentially run by Han Chinese, for the benefit of Han Chinese. Despite the governments best rhetoric, ethnic minorities and foreigners are still widely discriminated against.

The HDB scheme does in fact provide a lot of housing. But more specifically, what it does is provide affordable housing for the middle class professionals to buy. If you’re too poor to afford rent, you’re not going to be getting any benefit from the HDB.

I lived at home until I got married at 27. Best decision I ever made.

Completely honest, naive question. How do you have any type of real sex life living at home and single? I moved out as soon as I graduated college because I had a job four hours away.
When I got married (me 26, spouse 23) my in laws assumed we would move in with them and had been putting together plans to remodel the house to adapt it. Her brother lived there until he married at 30, his wife with her parents until same. This was Western Europe.

Many of my own relatives in India considered it sad that I had moved out before marriage and that We didn’t get a home in the same neighbourhood as my parents after marrying.

These kinds of arrangements would have driven me bananas (and would if me own kid had to do it) but it’s pretty common.
If we knew the results it wouldn’t be research. Medical research is dealing with potential future solutions to known problems. The risk is from a drug that’s either useless or actively harmful. Saying we don’t know if self driving cars are eventually going to be better is therefore no different than considering a new vaccine.

Anyway, move fast and break things is ingrained into the core of the medical profession when there is an unmet medical need.

The FDA for example has: Accelerated Approval, Fast track designation, Breakthrough therapy designation, and Priority Review all designed to speed things up when the benefits are significant.

They don’t apply for new pain medication because the risk vs reward is very different. 2014: https://www.fda.gov/media/94063/download

PS: I think we can agree that in terms of car safety there is clearly a large unmet need. That’s not to say self driving is the solution, just that it’s a serious contender.
