If you let prices go up, that will mostly prevent regular people from hoarding. You only have to enforce quotas against quasi-professionals looking to spend big, buy in massive bulk, and corner the market.
Hospitals need to be connected. They need to send and receive EMRs from other hospitals. They need to receive security updates for their own software (eg Windows has a Bluetooth vulnerability... someone could hack from inside). Medical providers need to look up information and consult doctors in other areas if a patient is being transferred.

The solution here does not need to be “operate hospitals in digital isolation.”
Strong patent laws stop innovation at the research stage. Derivative works, such as turning research into a startup or a public company, becomes rent seeking.

What about all the federally owned land in California suffering from the same “mismanagement?”

It’s also not clear to me that - regardless of the party in question - it is fair to call it mismanagement unless credentialed people had pointed out the risk of not allowing controlled burns and the government insisted on doing them anyway because of different priorities, aka mismanagement.
We have to look at the bigger statistics. Some young children die of many things that the vast majority of them easily survive, but that doesn't mean we need to lock down every flu season.
To be blunt, that perspective is misguided and unrealistic. I assume these contracts allowed for a partial termination, this isn't uncommon. There is no indication these were broken unlawfully.

In the case with Phillips, they already delivered 1/4th of the ventilators, there are reports all over the place stating that these were overpaid for. Of course the government overpaid for these. They were in a situation were they had to. Phillips even made indications in their earnings reports that these are contributing significant profit.

These manufacturers would not hesitate to enter one of these contracts again in the future.

I didn't intend to confront you and I didn't really "get worked up" over this. Sorry if I was a bit blunt. (and sorry for potential language confusion, I'm not a native speaker)

My issue with your comment was that you have this accusation (which you call "probable") that can be perfectly explained in another way ("New European Patent Law Court" is not going to be a top-selling front page headline)

> for instance, it's completely conceivable that a skilled legislation publishes information about a proposed law of they know it's likely to create a backlash in (some parts of) the media in a more subdued way, specifically in order to lower the odds for getting said negative press.

This is of course technically possible in some situations but considering the difficult negotiation and ratification process (just look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Patent_Court#Ratificat...) of the UPC it's simply very far off from the reality. Especially in Germany where there is an important pending decision by the Constitutional Court on this issue which did actually get a lot of media attention.

Edit: As pointed out by Zoobab the decision is no longer pending but has already been decided.
In the past, I have always only charged for the entire project all at once instead of by the hour.

Main trick to mitigating feature crap I have used is by first I add extra padding to cost.

Second i tell my clients that I provide free maintenance for 2 weeks after the project si delivered. Mostly this helps because clients want speed over reliability. So we push and the next two weeks is bug fixing - sometimes it's three.

However no matter what happens I would never build a new feature in the maintenance period
> This is another really great reason why the herd immunity threshold is lower than it has naively been claimed.

It sounds like you're starting from the happy assumption - herd immunity is much easier to achieve than we believe - and working backward to find data which justify your hope. To get good predictions, we have to be dispassionate and not assume the happy case.

A realistic assessment would probably assign some sort of a probability range to different thresholds - a model might suggest there's a 60% chance the threshold is 60%, a 5% chance it is 40%, a 20% chance it is 80%, a 10% chance it is 90%.

And any model has to take into account that any piece of data might be wrong, including this data about T-cell immunity.
I have to agree. I used the CLI for years until a coworker showed me Githubs desktop app. I was hesitant at first, but it makes managing multiple projects so much easier.

Ah yes, as opposed to the rational private market of large capital investments to create new industries, which is apolitical and has no cronyism /s (never mind no price incentive to massively invest in large-scale manufacturing for a temporary pandemic)
Interesting read. I've seen a component based rails architecture work wonders for cleaning up a codebase and allowing for the benefits of a SOA encapsulation while still keeping everything under a monolithic architecture (and avoiding the networking nasties). Not such a fan of sorbet though, but hopefully something better comes along.
Eh, right, this is why the North American west has a 100,000 year fire record?

Climate change makes the problem worse, but the fact is fires are a natural part of the regional ecology.

If we keep looking at fires as one problem with one cause, we will keep dying in fires and losing houses.
DynaBlogger Is Now Freemium
Hi all! I launched a new blogging platform a couple of weeks ago, and following some early advice I added a free plan so it would be easier for people to try it. I would appreciate if you could sign up (no credit card required with a free subscription), and let me know what you think, especially around usability.

Really any feedback at this early stage would be very helpful for me to shape the product as I build it. Thanks in advance!

The DPA has not been used because the White House made an early decision that it was not politically necessary to raise a maximum-effort response to SARS-CoV-2.

> this is the only relatively inexpensive option with history-based parametric modeling.

Not true, there is Houdini (sidefx.com). It's main target audience is obviously VFX professionals, but it's history features are much better than F360. Modelling toolset is also excellent. The issue is that it's missing any engineering stuff, you need to hunt down or make plugins for those. It's apprentice edition is free, and their limitations don't affect the modelling capabilities (free edition are mostly gimped at realistic rendering and can't be used by companies)
Really? That is absolutely not fine. The follow up is the trump quote "We've opened up factories". That has no direct connection to people unable finding masks. So the "ignores that reality" is completely unfounded. That formulation in itself is highly unprofessional, no matter what it is about. Contrasting his "ignoring" with "reality" is framing his actions as self-evidently wrong. And the word consistent implies that he is always wrong. That's at least three reasons why this sentence alone is nothing but propaganda.
This just further exemplifies the entire issue with podcast exclusivity deals. At this point, shows like JRE are signing away the independence that typically comes with podcasting.

So why has nuclear waste become a thing that's not mentioned anymore? It was a pretty big thing in the 90's, now it seems to get brushed under the rug for all this 'safe' nuclear power marketing. It's mot just meltdowns and containment breaches that are a problem with nuclear power. None of the renewable alternatives produce radioactive waste that needs to be stored and dealt with.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste

>Exposure to radioactive waste may cause health impacts due to ionizing radiation exposure. In humans, a dose of 1 sievert carries a 5.5% risk of developing cancer,[12] and regulatory agencies assume the risk is linearly proportional to dose even for low doses. Ionizing radiation can cause deletions in chromosomes.[13]

People aren't afraid of solar panels, and the tailwind probably refers to the fact that they're getting cheaper at an extremely rapid pace.
"Keeping up with your brain" is an underrated concept here. I used to type about 120 wpm, although that number has come down a lot over the years due to carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. But I still think it's important that I can type out code almost as fast as I can think it up. It's important that I not have to think much about getting the idea drafted, because this gives me a lot more time to clean it up and revise it. It's like I have a chance to write and test several revisions of my code in the time it would take a very slow typist just to key in the code once. I have worked with hunt-and-peck programmers and it is painful to watch them work.
Keep in mind how Cloudflare makes most of their money: They sell a web proxy service with security and performance features including a CDN.

This is determined by lifetime elision [1]. Specifically (quoting):

- Each elided lifetime in the parameters becomes a distinct lifetime parameter.

- If there is exactly one lifetime used in the parameters (elided or not), that lifetime is assigned to all elided output lifetimes.

So, Since the signature has one `&str` as a parameter, the lifetime is assigned to the output lifetime also per these rules.

I just don't understand what you are trying to do.

> Lets represent "health" as the identity function in Lambda calculus.

Health is a function now? Why an identity function?

> This is equivalent to the English sentence "health is health".

No, this is equivalent to the sentence "health transforms anything back into what it is" which is a weird predicate.

> Reduce it for me. Translate it into an expression roughly equivalent to "health is a function of...."

I am genuinely trying to understand what you are looking for. Considering just this sentence of yours, how is this not answered by my previous message? Especially this part:

> In some contexts, like a hospital, you would measure "health" with a compound of physiological measures, like temperature, heart-rate, blood pressure. An economist would probably define it more in terms of likelihood to survive the year/decade.

This is not a tautology, that's practically two algorithms to get numerical values that represents metrics of health.

And why are we talking about health? I thought we were talking about ethics?
The fact that feature exists shows that even YouTube know their algorithm needs help.
Sure - you can have that discussion. What the Democrats are doing is blaming climate change and Trump's climate change policy. Surely you agree that that is just dishonest.

I haven't noticed a single one.

For example, it's obvious that the judge actively did everything they can to limit the chance that the case gets proper coverage in the press.
Because the Trump administration is historically corrupt and incompetent? Politics aside, it's become clear that they have absolutely no idea how to run the government. Any previous administration from any party would have done orders of magnitude better. Hell, many despotic third world regimes are doing better. They will be remembered as some of the worst fuck ups in human history.
First, point out that Chernobyl, 3 Mile Island, and Fukushima amount to extremely small numbers of deaths relative to the power these plants generated. For three mile island and Fukushima this figure is zero among the public. Less than two dozen among the plant workers (all of which died due to the hydrogen explosion not radiation). The areas that were evacuated are now safe to return. Chernobyl was worse, but th Soviets didn't even bother with secondary containment. They didn't bother to put a concrete dome over the reactor. Even then, ~200 people died. This is a fairly small death toll for a worst-case failure. Contrast this with hydroelectricity, for example, which has resulted in the deaths of tena of thousands of people and the displacement of millions due to dam collapses [1].

Competition in the form of wind and solar are intermittent, requiring storage on a massive scale to offer a path to decarbonization. With 12 hours of energy storage, the US could reach 80% renewable generation. To get to 100% we need 3 weeks of storage according to estimates [2]. Currently, we have 8 seconds of battery storage compared to our 11.5 TWh daily electricity consumption. We have 4 minutes of hydroelectric storage, but hydroelectric storage is geographically limited. Increasing this by a factor of 180 is not feasible.

In short, if the goal is decarbonization wind and solar don't actually present real competition.

Any sufficiently large and centralized infrastructure (like Cloudflare is becoming) has an incentive to engage in user-hostile behaviors.

In this context, the UK never had free speech. So they aren't losing anything.

However, the problem with freedom of speech is that it's not absolute. There are many exceptions that to the reasonable person will agree that need exist.

The problem is that opponents of free speech are using the exception system in order to silence dissent.
Scp works fine, I use it all the time. It's less complicated than sftp, and works basically just like the regular 'cp' command. It also doesn't require an sftp server to be present on the remote machine.

I'm not 100% sure I buy those "it's less secure" arguments in that Stack-exchange post, but even if true - lots of people use SSH to move stuff around inside an intranet, where both ends of the connection are trusted. In that kind of context, scp works great.
I think, being offended at words is mostly a sign of one's own personal insecurity. Can you imagine a successful doctor or a business owner being seriously offended because someone on the Internet called them a bad word? I bet they would respond same way I do when my son calls me a "bad papa" for insisting he finishes lunch before getting a desert.

The bigger, much bigger problem is the growing amount of people that feel financially insecure about their lives, have no marketable skills, and plenty of free time. And the media is currently doing its best to direct their rage to unresolvable tribal infighting, rather than self-improvement, and possibly concluding that their misery might have something to do with the rise of monopolies, poorly chosen loan-funded degrees, and a few other very specific things rather than abstract inequality and injustice.

I don't like where this is headed. Tribal society structure, with elites living in fenced mansions, and hungry plebs literally killing each other over petty tribal disputes is very real. Half of Africa lives like this, Mexican drug cartels do, most Europe did before Enlightenment. And it is mind-boggling to see that this type of society might be coming to the former First World in fewer than a single generation.
Ahh. So if I added a second parameter it would require the explicit lifetime? That may be what I was doing before that made me think I needed to be explicit all the time.
@chki "Especially in Germany where there is an important pending decision by the Constitutional Court on this issue which did actually get a lot of media attention."

The decision is from 20th of March, where the Court only cancelled the ratification for lack of 2/3 majority for transferring judicial powers to international courts. Same problem seems to happen for ISDS courts in CETA in the Netherlands.

As many points raised in the first complaint were not addressed by the Court, we will crowdfund soon a second constitutional complaint if the UPCA is given a greenlight tomorrow.
Thousands and millions of variables approaches deep learning w/ softmax. It is difficult to see how it would work any other way. I mean would you want to have a causal model of particles?
So, every reference has a lifetime. But writing them out all the time isn't great for humans. So we looked at existing code, and found that the vast majority of lifetimes followed a few simple patterns. So we implemented these patterns as "elision rules," that is, patterns where you can not write, that is, elide, the lifetime.

Here are the rules:

1. Every reference as a parameter gets its own lifetime parameter. There is only one in this case.

2. If there is exactly one, then every possible lifetime in the return type is assigned to it.

3. If there are multiple parameters, but it's a method, not a free function, then the lifetime assigned to self is assigned to all outputs.

This is written in a bit of an abstract way, but, #2 there describes this function: we have one input, so we assign the same lifetime to all outputs, and there's only one. This means that it's not 'static, and in fact, it would fail to compile if it assumed that.

The original RFC, if you're curious https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/0141-lifetime-elision.html

(And, I actually think there's been some tweaks over time; if you have no inputs, the outputs can turn into 'static... the core of it is these three things though. Oh yeah, that is in the reference, which is the up to date spec, https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/lifetime-elision.html; I linked the RFC for historical reference because it's interesting, and has some neat stats.)
