Partly NYC is relatively empty and relatively cautious since it was present and real, but partly it’s likely many times more folks have had it in NYC than has been widely reported, possibly one or two orders of magnitude more, leaving fewer candidates now.

If, back in the spring, you worked backwards from NYC deaths using mortality rates within the lowest ranges in US studies, then it seemed likely that before summer infections may have already approached most of the population.

Mortality rates of 0.5% would have a far higher number of infected, as noted in this April suggestion of much wider prevalence, which if the case ”the real number of infected people in LA County would be 28 to 55 times higher” — https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200424/more-data-bolsters-...

Aside from that math, a variety of sources suggest perhaps 25% of New Yorkers infected in April, such as:

A claim in June of ”roughly 25% by June” — https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/30/roughly-25percent-of-new-yor...

A July claim (opinion piece, not an epidemiologist) of an even earlier peak, Feb and March: ”With a city population estimated by the Census Bureau at 8,336,817, the 22.7% prevalence from the late-April state survey would mean that nearly 1.9 million New Yorkers had already contracted the disease as of early April.” — https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-07-23/new-yo...

That's not hot code reloading in the erlang sense. Hot code reloading is having a NamedModule be replaced by NamedModule on the fly and have all of the processes executing functions in that module's (global) namespace respect the new binary code in accordance to the well-defined hot code reloading API that erlang has established, followed by kicking out the old namespace when it's dependent processes have drained of it.

This is not trivial considering that different processes may be holding onto that code for different lifetimes, and all must be managed sanely.

It seems like the spirit of your comment is in accord with GP. GGP put forth that Zinn is "the truth."

GP may have phrased it a bit dismissively but I read that comment as making the same argument you do: no given history book contains the final truth.

As for GP's comment that Zinn has no place today -- you offer a more nuanced take. But we're in a moment replete with valorizing paeans to Zinn (like TFA) and calls for using People's History more widely as a _textbook_. Maybe, given that we are 40 years on from it's writing, that's not the best move.
Seems pretty clear by now that Mozilla is on a path to just slowly transform Firefox into Chrome or try to abandon it 'to the community' like they did with Thunderbird. Either way they've clearly signalled that they could not give a shit about Firefox any more.

Since Edge is basically Chrome with Microsoft's telemetry baked in that means that your browser choices will either be the one made directly by an ad company or Chrome repackaged by some other company that just wants to pipe the browser telemetry back into their already egregious OS telemetry pipeline.

It is definitely time for a fork or a fresh start with actual privacy, security and simplicity in mind.

>They're trying to conserve a state of the world where transpeople are respected and shunning Rowling for transgressing their norms.

That state of the world doesn't really exist to the degree that it can be preserved, and the premise of normalizing trans identity is very much rooted in "liberal" ideology - to such a progressive degree that not even all liberals accept it. JK Rowlings' views in this regard are very much on the conservative side.

This is a common misconception but not correct.

I don't think anyone is arguing that preventing DDoS attacks is desirable.

It's about cutting off access to a small segment of users just because it is easier that way.

I think that, similar to wheelchair access, we will continue to push for access to all devices and users as much as possible.

This attitude of "it's just 1%" or "it's just 0.1%" will become just as unacceptable as saying "well, there are only 3 people who need access ramps out of 30, so they need to suck it up and deal with it."

It's up to you which side you want to be on.
My question: are we not going to lose herd immunity on literally all other viruses (including ones where it may have been man decades since we did not have herd immunity) as a result of masks?

The 1776 Unites project presents solid rebuttals to the 1619 project:

https://1776unites.com/

Lucas Morels' rebuttal of Nikole Hannah-Jones central essay in the 1619 project is a must read and much better supported by evidence:

https://americanmind.org/essays/america-wasnt-founded-on-whi...
Counterargument: a workplace is, at best, a poor environment in which to advocate for one's political causes. Most people engaged in labor for a company do so because they are not financially independent--that is, they have to in order to simply live. The larger the organization the more likely the employee base will span incompatible political views. Also, very vocal proponents (regardless of what political view they're advocating) will tend to dominate and effectively marginalized the more soft-spoken: a poor outcome in other contexts; why not this one?

On a more personal side: I honestly cannot stand when most people discuss politics in the Slack at work. The vast majority of comments are snarky, are unsupported (by data) opinions, or are caustically dismissive of opposing views. It's bad enough when people holding political views I disagree with engage in that behavior, but it's much worse when people I do otherwise agree with do. And it happens in just about equal measure, as far as I've experienced.

Work is already stressful enough without adding to it with political fights.
Sure. But there are gazillions of people who didn't even take a single history class in undergrad who clearly haven't understood his message and hold up his text as the last word when scholarship, even leftist scholarship, has added so much more in the intervening decades. Zinn gets more recognition than other scholars among laypeople, not experts. It becomes frustrating watching truly excellent scholarship go unnoticed.
Congratulations on having invented a definition that nobody finds useful. If you don't mind, the rest of us will continue treating the game as having four dimensions.
> In particular, the lead essay originally stated that protecting slavery was “one primary reason the colonists fought the American Revolution.”

At the time of the American Revolution, the British public has started raising its voice against slavery. At the same time, slavery was the backbone of the future US economy and many of the US founding fathers were slaveholders. I think it's very valuable to know these facts, and the 1619 project does a good job of pointing them out. Whether the perpetuation of slavery was "a primary reason" for the American Revolution or not is IMHO of secondary importance in that context.

As an aside, I think the reason why the 1619 project is being attacked so hard is not because of its supposed sloppiness but because it puts a spotlight on the role of slavery in US history, and apparently that's something that many people cannot accept.

> The 1619 articles on the economic importance of slavery, moreover, are not written by an economist and do not represent the consensus views of economists.

Why does it matter which discipline the expert belongs to? The economic bits were based on analysis by Matthew Desmond, a Princeton University sociologist.

> So the essays are forced to make the far more tenuous claim that America traces its exceptional wealth to slavery.

I think you're setting up a straw man here. The economics part establishes the role of slavery in the early US economy, and it does a good job of doing that. One fascinating bit that I found there is that British financial markets traded bonds backed by slaves as collateral. As a consequence, the dollar value of slavery can be easily established. Here's the precise quote:

State-chartered banks would take this slave-backed mortgage from this plantation owner, and this one, and this one. And they would bundle that debt and make something called a bond. And they would sell those bonds to investors all over the Western world. And so when owners made payments on their mortgages, the investors got a little return. Today, we call this securitizing debt, and it’s really a way to kind of sink global capital into the American slave economy at the time. [...] So at the height of slavery, the combined value of enslaved workers exceeded that of all the railroads and all the factories in the nation.

Yep, back when I still used Facebook, I used that extension. I think that installing a third-party extension is probably a lot more than the average person knows to do, though. I was mostly making a point that if Facebook finds discussion over politics and the like too divisive for their internal company chat, maybe they should consider what they can do for the rest of us to keep things similarly sane.

If you can afford $12k for a domain hopefully you’re not worried about the registrar signaling to an investor.
It isn't necessarily about balance. One can carry a leftist view of history and still find that there is way more to modern scholarship than Zinn provided.
renewables were 10-100x times more expensive back then
Right, but this attitude allows neglecting any behavior that results in bad resource distribution as inevitable and immutable. That's not how economies work by all observation. Empirically supply/demand is insufficient to explain all the market behavior that's trivially observable, especially when you can easily manipulate both sides of that narrative with enough capital.

The labor theory of value certainly has issues but at the very least I would expect a critique to provide an alternative narrative of observable pricing pressures, such as scarcity and market controls. This type of reductive thinking doesn't have a clear end to my eyes.
Also, often times science instruments do sit on those satellites, they just aren't as cool as Hubble.

> On eBay, you can already find hundreds of listings for the $699 RTX 3080 card for $1,200 to $2,000 and more.

One thing I'd really like to know, and none of the news coverage seems to address this question, is why are people willing to pay such a premium over the MSRP to get it now, as opposed to just buying it a bit later.

Are these eBay buyers consumers, or is it for some commercial applications? (I assume there must be buyers, since the article says there are hundreds of listings at this price.)
If jgrahamc is reading this, I'd really like to know if Cloudflare wants to work with telcos.

Imagine a small server in every cell tower, with locally-cached maps/Wikipedia/latest movies.

Some communication couldn't be cached (e.g. real-time video calls), but a lot of broadcast media could be. Of course there are copyright implications, and it might require partnering with Netflix or others.

The quick load times would be great for users, and the reduced load on the backbone would be good for the telecom companies.

If you'd like me to chat to some friends in telcos in New Zealand about this, drop me an email. It's not my job now (I'm in IoT) but I know who to talk to if you'd like to get this kind of thing moving.

You can't shut it off on a whim, but lots of reactors can drop to half output or one third output without much trouble. It probably doesn't make a big difference on the current grid, but if you have a significant fraction of nuclear power then the ability becomes useful. (I don't know if those mechanisms are applicable to this design.)
I tend to only use concerns in extremely cut-and-dry cases. And even then, I sometimes get annoyed with them when hunting for that one method which is tucked away in a concern somewhere. But sometimes they are the best solution for making sure a bit of shared behavior doesn't get out of sync between models.
I think one of the key points in that Twitter thread is that the distributed responsibility disincentives anyone from pushing to tackle difficult problems (because no professional or personal liability is involved) and the centralization of profits ensures that the dysfunctional administrative structure stays in place.

> but similarly it seems quite a stretch to assume that they were as dark as African peoples.

“African peoples” have a pretty broad range of pigmentation, and “black” isn’t used exclusively for African people, anyhow; e.g., indigenous Australians.

It's funny how White people use “black” with almost unlimited breadth right up until that challenges the original whiteness of territory they view as an ancestral homeland, and then immediately start demanding that the blackness be viewed maximally narrowly.

Couldn't find a better illustration of how race is a fluid social construct.

> factual errors

This is not the limit of criticism of history scholarship. Braudel's Civilization and Capitalism isn't considered dated because of factual errors but instead because it over-represents a particular narrative and analysis style that fails to paint a detailed picture of things.

History scholarship is absolutely not a list of facts. It is the construction of a narrative from source material. A text that is 100% truthful to fact can still be entirely bogus scholarship (I'm not saying that Zinn's is).
Because reliable and proof are not the same concepts and one is not needed for the other. Proof is logical certainty for all time ( in the past, present and future ). Reliability is not.

Reliability doesn't require mathematical proof - this goes for airplanes to your kitchen faucet to software. Software became more and more reliable through testing, errors, fixes/patches, etc. Also, many times good enough is good enough. We don't need the perfect for most situations.

Also, it's a subjective call too. For some software is an unreliable mess and we need to throw everything out and rebuild it from scratch. Search for haskell, rust, etc threads. The neverending arguments against side-effects, mutation, pointers, etc. For most, they are good enough and get the job done.
