I've seen lots of clinics testing numbers, but I've never, literally never seen a PCR test with a FP rate that high. It kind of beggars belief.

This article doesn't even deal with SARS-CoV-2, so until it gets peer reviewed and, more importantly, replicated, it should be treated as an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence.

You could use a generator. You could also use a steam engine to power your car. But most of us prefer the cleaner, safer, more efficient solutions :)

Wouldn't you agree that replacing fossil fuel based generators with a cleaner and cheaper alternative is worthwhile?

The downside of electoral democracy, is if you are only going to be be in power for 5-10 years max, why care about the state of the country in 30 years time, except out of the goodness of your heart? And electoral politics often does a rather poor job of selecting leaders with goodness in their hearts.

Of course, non-democratic systems have their own, equally serious downsides. Consider China: a system which is arguably much better at making long-term investments in public infrastructure than most democratic countries are (witness China's high-speed rail system), but also a system which ruthlessly suppresses dissent and locks up over a million of its citizens in "re-education camps"
TBH, that's rather fast from a bureaucracy!
Even without the weight of the first stage, I'd imagine this would have to be a massive quantity of balloons. Lifting an adult human takes a house-sized amount of balloons. Fun to imagine dragging a stadium sized quantity of hydrogen balloons a mile up before detonating them with the engines, but likely impractical. Perhaps rockets could be launched from the top of a giant zeppelin once it reaches altitude? (~4 orders of magnitude larger than the Hindenberg)?

I've always been curious as to how effective a hydraulic lift could be at reducing necessary launch weight. A disproportionate amount of fuel is used at the beginning of the first stage when it is the heaviest, so seems like the benefit would be quadratic - Saturn V took 12 seconds to clear the tower. Would require major infrastructure, but if you could "throw" the rocket so it starts at a greater initial speed, seems like you could bend the rocket equation favorably. Perhaps even a giant underground potato-canon or railgun.
It seems like you're already trying to change your consumption, which is all I'm hoping (and arguing) for.

(Surely, there's always ways we could all do more like reduce the use of single-use plastic, or communicate the problem to more people in our communities, or financially support those who try to combat the issue. But like I said, it seems you (and me ;-) ) are already ahead of the curve here).
What I want to know about a microcontroller is, (a) can I use Make/Gcc/Gdb to develop for it without a lot of guesswork, and (b) what is its interrupt latency? The article only hinted at (b) for a couple of them, and said practically nothing about (a). IDEs are a trap.

And absolutely not limited to ARM.

AVR8, MSP430 have the usual as, gcc, etc. toolchain. I don't know PICs as much, but I believe they too do have extensive open toolchains available.
I'd love to have an alternate app store. I think all the current app stores are anti-competitive to the point they're stifling innovation, so competition would be good for everyone but the rent seekers.

I also think a big PR campaign is just part of the game. I mean look at how successful Apple's been at convincing people their only motive is security and privacy for their users. At least there's some awareness being raised for both developers and users.

The app stores are hugely successful demand aggregation platforms and the result of that is developers becoming a commodity. Apple and Google don't care which million developers are in their stores and beyond the top 100 apps the developers are nothing more than interchangeable cogs.

While I certainly agree that Epic needs a strong case in order to win, it's not clear that their actions with regards to Fortnite actually help their legal case so much as their public relations.

In any case it seems like the goalposts have been moved from "Epic needs to establish standing" to "Epic needs a strong case". My point was only to correct the former misconception which for some reason has been incorrectly repeated all over this thread.
At the end my dad asked the nurses to stop the oxygen he got via a mask. They called a doctor who made sure he knew what the likely consequences of his request would be, and he assured the doctor he did. So they turned it off and took of his mask. He passed away a few hours later.

Technically I guess this is assisted suicide. He had untreatable cancer in the lungs, he'd just gotten pneumonia and he and the doctor knew it wasn't going to get better. So he decided his time was up.

But from what I understand this is not the common case. Rather it is people who struggle with their emotions[1][2], which can pass or be treated. For those I think it's important to not give in to their temporary wishes, and to help them get past it.

And he didn't actually reply to the question on how much of his own time he has spent doing all of this.

It's impressive, but, at the same time, I'd imagine it's way too stressful to run by yourself in a small town like that. Without really that much payout, money-wise.
"suckling upon the genitals of midgets" ?

or maybe the genitals of giants, reflecting how sometimes there's a groundbreaking idea, but the following up on that idea looks an awful lot like jerking around in its shadow
Frequently it is used in contrast to "reductionism", where something is broken down into parts.

One "holistic" approach (in my mind) is a broad accounting of stocks and flows. For instance to evaluate the possibility of building a space sunshade with a solar sail factory on a carbonaceous chondrite asteroid it would be reductionistic to design the system and mission in as much detail as possible, It is another to say that you need to make 10^14 kg of mylar and 10^12 kig of aluminum and make some broad guesses about stocks and flows from there. That's more holistic.

I would say use of the holographic principle in quantum gravity is holistic, adding up thousands of Feynmann diagrams is reductionistic.
Factors, the world, the firm trading, etc all change daily. Also market makers provide liquidity through buying and selling quickly.

If you had to hold a stock for a long amount of time before selling it, you would find it very hard to buy or sell stock.
> This can be a lazy and dangerous design process that shows the company's unprofessionalism or it can be a smart hack to get the job done while minimizing costs and supply chain restraints.

It can be a dessert topping and a floor wax; its a hack, potentially smart depending on the constraints posed to those doing the hack, to get the job done whole minimizing costs and supply chain constraints.

It's also, quite arguably, something evidencing a lazy and dangerous design process at a higher level than the level at which it is a potentially smart hack.
The problem isn't ending one's own life, but doing so with dignity, in an orderly fashion. How not to leave a mess behind? That takes solid preparation, which is difficult given the massive social stigma. Wouldn't it be nice if one didn't need an "excuse", like a terrible disease, to be allowed an uneventful exit? I'd find it a liberating idea if such a thing were normalized. Parties are more enjoyable when you can leave any time you like. Let me stay just because I want to, without worries what will happen should I change my mind.
Vulkan drivers in Mesa aren't using Gallium3D, they are using NIR as intermediate representation though.

Included by the White House, according to the article you posted. Which also mismanaged the initial response, so hardly surprising.

According to the article, it was a temporary elimination on the SALT cap, not wholesale reform. Temporary tax relief during a recession should hardly be considered a poison pill.

So this is not a case of somebody who had more enthusiasm than experience attempting to do a rural broadband project. This sort of thing does crop up commonly in attempts at rural WISP projects, where somebody who's never had 'enable' on the routers of any ASN decides to build their own ISP.

In this case it's somebody with the great depth and breadth of knowledge to do it, dissatisfied with their local status quo for residential last mile service, deciding to implement it themselves.
I am on the fence on this.

Culturally, it's my feeling that funerals are not for the dead, they are for the living, and this is a way for the dead to cut into the lives of people who now get to move on.

The "zing" element of it is just a way for someone to be hurtful to people who can never have closure on that...

On the flip side - not everyone is cynical, they may say some of the things they had a hard time saying when they were alive, affirmations that maybe made them uncomfortable, or admitting wrongs that may have been too difficult to do when alive.

I'd hope that a service like this would be thoughtful, and pensive, and think of those who are left behind as a primary focus.

How does preventing shorting express a long-term view?
What we know:

* JEDI contract was awarded to Microsoft

* Amazon brought the case that this contract was not awarded fairly, specifically because AWS was proven to be cheaper for the same capability, indicating favoritism.

* Amazon adds national security director to its board (which is different then giving him a director position in charge of a program btw)

* Amazon provided/provides cloud service to CIA

What is extrapolated without any sort of proof

* Amazon wants to spy on citizens

Be aware of news sources that focus on the latter rather than the former. Because you can also extrapolate that Amazon just REALLY wants the JEDI contract for no other reason than money just as well as you can any conspiracy theory.

With datacaps that could run through 5G in seconds, it makes little sense in opting for 5G instead of 4G. Which costs more and with less battery life.
The quality of written prose. Compare a speech by Roosevelt to one by even someone like Obama.
Hi, not sure how you came to the conclusion that "still require local storage or generation resources at the receiving end". the whole point is replacing those with a steady connection to the national grid. the only difference being it would be wireless rather than copper based.

A transient object like a bird would not have a significant affect on continuity of supply. it is very small compared to the Tx/Rx surface and doesn't linger in the beam path.

Wouldn't you agree that replacing expensive imported polluting fossil fuel generation with a cleaner and cheaper locally sustainably generated energy is worthwhile?
You’re comfortable asserting that transgender women are “men who can’t compete with other men” and that there are individuals for whom the whole point of undergoing sexual reassignment surgery is to “take home trophies”? That’s quite a dedication to sports you’re proposing in which a person would be willing to have their genitals altered permanently to win an athletic contest. Do you honestly believe that’s the motivation?

Edit: referring to actual transwomen who’ve had surgery, etc. Just being able to declare that you “identify” as a woman and that’s that is the height of insanity.

Techempower benchmark: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r19&hw=... makes the difference between async python frameworks and sync frameworks pretty clear.

Async results in better utilization of system resources... since there aren't entire threads with app state blocked on IO requests (which would consume a chunk of system memory.)

Considering that a web app is most commonly waiting for a database operation, a single server can serve many more active requests simultaneously (since each active request is not allocating an app instance.)
Since Gmail is monopoly-scale though, they have plenty of users to serve. Gmail has a lot of proprietary features that don't work through IMAP. Most of them could work with JMAP (like labels) but Gmail doesn't support that (yet, at least).
There are a ton. There's been a lot of work on cloud-native applications, but little on applying those same principles to infrastructure. Everything about networking is unnecessarily crufty. We've probably only scratched the surface of what can be done with smart NICs.

The dude is also the ceo of a cyber security company. Do you want a government to be run by people who know what they are doing? Then you need people with experience. People with experience also make great private sector employees/ceos/board members.

So no i dont think it is at all weird and the tinfoil hat looks ridiculous on you.
eBay, OfferUp, Craigslist, and local stores have all offered great experiences since I stopped giving Amazon money. I haven’t had the feeling of “going without” - to the contrary, I’ve picked up a bunch of materials for our family recently and we are staying relatively sane even with a 2nd-grader in the house. I find myself waiting slightly longer for some items, but in many cases also able to get significant discounts by shopping used. Convenience is the same; I even still pick up ecommerce purchases from our apartment complex’s Amazon Hub locker (haha).

Amazon is far from essential; they can be beaten handily on price, quality, and sustainability by hand-picked suppliers, and frankly in many cases I prefer the experience of buying things from humans. I went to a local hardware store the other day (I live in Los Angeles) and when shopping I asked about some pallets outside and was invited to take them, saving me easily $40 in lumber and making me feel more valued as a customer than Amazon “guaranteed [except not really and with no consequences for failure] 2-day shipping” has ever made me feel.

For people who value the feeling of connection to their community and their supply chains, Amazon doesn’t make sense. For those who would prefer to disconnect from the environment and humans that supply them with what they need and want, Amazon is competitive but not unbeatable.
I'd say the situation is even more twisted. This policy effectively motivates the state politicians to keep things unsustainable in order for them to make money (indirectly) off scarce resources in the city.
What did my heirs do to deserve my money?
perhaps they look less chaotic because the rays at each point of the the ring when reconstituted was not emitted at the same time, so the picture we computed is a reconstitution of a large spread of time during which movement of the stars in the galaxy blurred substantially giving the impression of a more homogenous and orderly galaxy (a chaotic galaxy at astronomical shutter times might look orderly)
http://swartz-report.mit.edu/docs/report-to-the-president.pd...

"Very early in this post-arrest period, MIT decided to “remain neutral,” as between the government and Aaron Swartz, in the investigation and eventual prosecution. Initially this meant simply that MIT would not take a public position on the prosecution.Throughout the following (almost) two years, MIT’s decisions were mostly guided by this posture of neutrality."

"With regard to substance, MIT would make no statements, whether in support or in opposition, about the government’s decision to prosecute Aaron Swartz, the government’s decisions about charges in an indictment, or any possible plea bargain stances of the prosecution or the defense. [15]"

"[15]: This position of neutrality would not have necessarily extended to the sentencing phase of the prosecution, where MIT might have been prepared to advocate on behalf of Aaron Swartz had he been convicted."
Better still - don't get married. It's just a piece of paper that says somebody else can take half your stuff.
But you end up back in the same position. You have a 5 person team requirement, 3 men and 2 women. Where do you put trans?
I recommend STM32CubeMX: this is a GUI tool that creates a gcc/ makefile project for any of their micros- so you only have to use it once to set up an example "hello world" project. No IDE is needed (older versions only generated code for IDEs, but no longer).

If you follow the comments in the generated source code you can keep your code separated from their code. The advantage is that you can reconfigure your project later- for example to change microcontrollers, or enable new peripherals.
That’s between employees and employers. My ire is directed towards those who claim that childless are free loaders being subsidized by the future generations and that having children is a sacrifice borne by them for society.

Employment contracts should be examined due to the extraordinary circumstances we are in and that would depend on the companies. I was only replying to specific comments that may or may not have anything to do with OP.
End to end efficiency is absolutely critical for making any wireless power endeavour viable.

Beyond delivery loss, don't forget that there are other CAPEX/OPEX considerations.

For example, an underwater cable from an offshore wind-farm might be a more efficient means of energy delivery but it's installation and maintenance cost would be much much higher and require more time to deploy than a wireless solution.

That is inevitably a significant part of any economic benchmarking.
This article is basically bullshit derived from a NY Times article, and I'm really sad that it got published. You know how every once in a while the media publishes an article about something you know and it's riddled with errors that drive a particular narrative? That article is my experience.

Research scientists and clinical scientists are worlds apart, and have very different goals in life.

I wouldn't trust a cT coming out of any research lab either, but clinical labs are far far more controlled and have far better processes, and have intense validation that shows that their threshold is repeatable, accurate, and a true representation of their limit of detection.

No research lab does any of this, and they almost never have extremely basic contamination protections like separate rooms for pre- and post-amplification rooms.

I've watched research scientists try to stand up clinical labs during this pandemic, and it has been an education for them to bring their standards up to what is the baseline for clinical testing. Its not unlike giving a butcher a scalpel and expecting brain surgery: there are a lot of the same skills involved but also very different and extremely narrow it's of knowledge.

I think the best way to set it up is, after you've failed to respond several times (maybe because your spam filter changed our something) it then seems a preliminary email to all those on your list. "Is this person really dead? If not, get him to log in... etc"

Some might deliberately choose to click that you're dead, in the hopes of seeing the message, but likely your spouse or whoever would be, like, "Honey, this thing says you're dead..."

And if none of them answer, because it went to their junk or they're all dead by now, then it's moot because they're exactly the people who would have seen anything.
