Landray says in the same twitter thread:

"...Remdesevir is given by intravenous infusion for 5-10 days. It is not cheap. And supplies are limited (not surprising given scale of epidemic)."

This means anyone showing early symptoms is likely to require a stay in hospital for early administration of the intravenous infusion. There are questions about how scalable this is. Landray again:

"COVID affects millions of people & their families around the world. It is not a rare disease and we need scalable, affordable, and equitable treatment solutions."
I'd love to see the Citizens United ruling overturned. It would be great for our society to not treat corporations as people. But as it stands, corporations are found to have free speech rights. Social media companies are both publishers and platforms. Many news sites now have comments sections, too -- they're both publishers and platforms. What is the large, philosophical difference that separates them?
I like the idea of the internal use licence (though I don't know if it's novel - just new to me).

> Use of the software for the internal business operations of you and your company is use for a permitted purpose.

But that's all it says about what it means. Is that really enough? IANAL, but surely that leaves plenty of room for someone who is to argue that their use was 'internal'.

I was expecting paragraphs drawing a line between (external) 'users' and internal business operations, can I use it to crunch user data? Only if not done in a client? Only if a 'one-off' analytical operation not built into my product?
There's a well known pattern that studies conducted by a drug company are more likely to report positive results than studies conducted by a neutral party.

> Why do we detain people before they're proven guilty?

There are a lot of reasons to do this. The real question is why the detention is designed to be punitive, and why can you pay to get out of it?
That is what the WHO used to do, certainly. It does seem to talk more directly to the press these days, and it's honestly probably not a great idea.

Since you posted the actual paper link I figured I would leave this here (https://osf.io/mfzg4/) The Open Science project page, they have some of their initial thoughts before the experiment as well as some data. Always interesting to poke around.
"I'm going to die if I don't get my <insert recreational drug here>" doesn't carry. Drugs of necessity, like insulin, are provided to avoid liability. Society, on the whole, is not OK with providing recreational drugs or their equivalent to anyone, much less those pending criminal charges, and correctional officers are average members of society, and thus share its general position on providing recreational drugs or their equivalents to users or addicts, including those they are paid to oversee whilst incarcerated. This is a rational way for society to be. Saving everyone from the consequences of their actions is not a viable nor tenable survival strategy for any population or species.
Not surprising to be honest. Medium is not an ethical company.

Remember the FreeCodeCamp fiasco?

> “But over the past year Medium had become more aggressive toward us,” Larson said. “They have pressured us to put our articles behind their paywalls. We refused. So they tried to buy us. (Which makes no sense. We’re a public charity.) We refused. Then they started threatening us with a lawyer.”

The individual that leads the WHO also has a number of corruption and cover-up allegations.

Let's also not forget that they refused to declare a pandemic until weeks after there was evidence of global spread.

The negligence (intentional or otherwise) is truly shocking.
A few years ago I learned that Rancho San Antonio has an extension that goes all the way up to a couple hundred feet of my house, accessible by an unmarked, easy to miss little trail at the west end of Stevens Creek: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3223461,-122.0789312,3a,75y,.... It leads the Hammond-Snyder Loop Trail (which hasn't been much of a loop for years–it's been closed for a watershed project that should've ended a while ago) which is a nice way to get to Anza Knoll, which is not all that tall but has a pretty good view of the valley (a more obvious way to access it is on the other side of Cristo Rey Drive). If you follow the train tracks it goes past a culvert for Stevens Creek under I-280 next to which seems to be the local hangout spot for teenagers–it's heavily graffitied (unlike any other part of Cupertino I have seen) and it looks like someone's constructed a sort of BMX park out of the dirt. And this is just from me walking in an ~2 mile radius in the suburbs! There's a whole lot of cool things you can find while walking that no online mapping service will cover.
It was an article that blatantly violated the posting medium's terms.

Doesn't matter if the government itself posted that article. Doxxing info is immoral and should be blocked.
Keptn: An event-based control plane for continuous delivery and automated operat
A system to introduce new words in English exists and it is not anarchic. It's a democratic or popularity contest where if a word is used enough it becomes part of the language and accepted. Dictionaries have standards where a word must appear in print a number of times to be accepted.

Other languages are less dynamic so they are less responsive to introducing new words. Some of those and others controlled by official bodies which may or may not represent the population are less popularity driven. In those cases a guardian relationship exists where words are vetting by others. English is vetted by all.

Or if they are employees.

I’m at my 4th employee, and there are 2 things I’m downright intolerant with:

- People mixing their work cookies with their facebook cookies. There is a specific step in the onboarding where they have to create a chrome profile for their personal stuff, or it becomes waterboarding.

- A dozen browser extensions.

But some extensions are normally necessary (pretty-print the json for example) - I wonder what would be the right process.
In practice this means that it would be extremely irrational to run a not-for-profit or nearly not-for-profit venue that accepted posts from anything but close friends.

Is that the world you want?

I guess I'd just call it 'learning'. Now they know about the choice they made; of course they value it over an unknown (the choice(s) not made).

The human animal is characterized by this: learning from a single example. For better and worse. Its the reason we created civilization; its the reason we believe in witchcraft and the lottery.

E.g. walk into a chimp's domain with a screwdriver, fool with the screw on an outlet cover, set the screwdriver on the floor and leave. The chimp may wander over, may pick up the screwdriver, might chew on it.

A 3-year-old human will go straight to the screwdriver and jam it into the socket.

I'm not sure anything new was shown by this experiment.

Nope. You have not convinced me a top down authority for the English language is necessary of even desirable. I call this approach the engineer's fallacy of seeing something messy and wanting to engineer it right away.

Retracting a dubious decision is a good thing. What disappoints me though is that Twitter once again uses a lame explanation:

"A Twitter spokesman confirmed that the company would allow the link to be shared because the information had spread so widely across the internet that it could no longer be considered private."
Most of the tool I've seen requires jailbroken/rooted devices. So only a handful of devices are even capable of these techniques. The latest iOS 14 has not yet been broken. Increasingly few Android devices can be unlocked or rooted, have been properly exploited into this mode.

I've said numerous times I thought your example was rosy. Removing embedded certs from Windows, OSX, iOS, Android programs seems like, in many cases, it could be difficult, as I don't feel like just removing the content is going to change app code that may be asking explicitly for pinning. Hooking verification functions as some of the xposed frameworks do seems viable, but again, this all is contingent on users having a level of access that most devices actively work to prevent, that requires the device to be exploited to achieve.

The security climate is in fact quite chilling. Everything you say is possible, but it requires increasingly rare access to the device, and increasing advanced levels of reverse engineering. The days when one could add their own CA to the store & intercept- those made sense- and they are long gone. The app makers, the OS makers, are securing devices against this kind of user-level control.

Gilead was said to be working on an inhaled version (it can't be administered orally, because it is completely destroyed in the liver).
It's pedantically accurate but grossly irresponsible for an agency that has such influence. Such a statement should only be uttered in scientific circles where the precise meaning of that statement is understood.

"No evidence" is falsely interpreted by the layperson as evidence of absence, or at least that there isn't a good reason to expect it to be true. But given the asymmetric costs involved, it is exactly the wrong assumption that people need to make.

Assume there is airborne transmission -> low cost but hedge extreme downside risk.

Assume there is no airborne transmission -> slightly lower cost, but huge downside risk if incorrect.

Policymakers were misled by the WHO.

Prop 25 is definitely an improvement. It forces jails to release people who were accused of most misdemeanors within 12 hours.

I think more still needs to be done. Both police officers in the streets and officers guarding jails should be held accountable for their actions. Police brutality anywhere should be prosecuted.

For reference, post-conviction, those sentenced to a year or less remain in jails, while those sentenced to a year and a day or more go to prisons. Prison is actually preferable over jail for most incarcerated individuals, as jails tend to be more tightly controlled than prisons, which function like their own societies with built-in, tractable hierarchies. People in prisons behave, in a sense, because they have to live together.
The problem is that everyone has and knows how to use excel. And enough people in finance and consulting see excel skills as a mark of status that there's going to be some resistance to change there. A new tool has to be equally universal, easy to use for basic purposes while having advanced capabilities, etc. There are courses that teach supply chain management with solver and the like - having people shift over from the only software they were trained to use is not trivial. It was easier for geneticists to change gene names than change excel behavior in the end for a reason - excel is powerful and everywhere

…like a bitmap? Turning documents into bitmaps is easy to do in the computer now. We’re a long way from the time when (due to limits on memory, processing, and bandwidth) you had to encode your document into a complicated command language which you could send to a printer.

Like a bitmap?

I really don’t see how you’re disagreeing with me, here.
1. Cancer is characterized as local tumor, locoregional or distant (metastasis).
2. Our approach can certainly help patients with local or locoregional disease.
3. As we have presented in multiple cancer conferences, our approach seems to also help with distant disease, because by focusing more powerful therapy to the tumor, sparing the rest of your body, we give the body the opportunity to recognize the tumor as foreign and fight it.

Alteryx appears to be considerably more expensive, though. Shouldn’t it take a tool of comparable cost to replace Excel? Especially in self-serve use.

I’m not disputing the quality of the tool, to be clear. It seems like a good change and a totally reasonable line item. Just questioning what it will take to actually replace Excel in a widespread way.

> it's my information. You have no right to any

If it was yours, you would be able to sell it in exchange for something else. The EU's rules forbid this, basically giving ownership to the state

Also, let's be clear, it's not only YOUR information since you didn't collect it yourself, there could be an explicit formula about how much of it is yours. Just because GDPR says so doesn't mean it s correct.

Remember that it's not 14 prefixes, or at least not 14 new ones. We're just talking about a couple new ones. There's only a new prefix for every three orders of magnitude, and everyone is already very familiar with the small ones. And there are mnemonics.

And we're not asking the layman to know all these, either. Zepto- will never be in common use; that's for particle physicists and basically nobody else, so far at least.

Anyway my point was that there have been calls to repeal 230 from across the ideological spectrum.

expected students' courseloads should be selected by track allowing for part or full-time jobs, tracks can transition periodically (preferably with job placement help) . this should also normalize a 6-year degree.

University should include a course on participating in remote environments, with the option of being department specific. this should standardize the tooling across all departments to the best of its abilities. courses should exist for teachers to keep up to date with remote technologies

departments should have core courses, a couple of electives, and then prioritize interdisciplinary cross-listed courses combining any two departments. cross listing courses would replace general education requirements and would happen at the end of your time in school rather than the beginning. English with a graphic design focus, environmental science with a physics focus, history with a maths focus, public planning with a library sciences focus. for students who choose to be single disciplinary education, they should be designing their own independent and group study courses to close out their degrees.

every department should offer an introductory survey course targeted to students who are unsure of their discipline, that counts towards the graduation requirements

after your first year group work should be heavily prioritized

tutoring centers for every department. all books used by a department's core courses available in the tutoring centers.

create environmental career division students are working with lower division students

on transcripts for every class placed the student's grade and the average grade for the class, or alternatively don't provide letter number grades.

Courses of over 40 participants should be completely remote. There's no difference in taking a 300-person course online and taking a 300-person course in a room.

People should be able to rotate which season their summer is in. Capacity limits may apply to courses. Or students should be able to have vacation time, like as in a job

Amazon stealing OSS products and repackaging them for profit is a behavior they are replicating over and over. Big and small projects alike are neither protected nor immune (see Mongo, Elastic, Redis,...)

To see so much of the developer community respond by placing blame on the developers is heartbreaking and at the root of the tragedy of open source. It's either: your fault for using a permissive license OR shame on you for not using a permissive license. Where is the outrage at the predatory companies cannibalizing open source?

We need to remember who the real enemy of open source is. The only company that benefits from open source shaming is Amazon.
