Source: https://www.corriere.it/dataroom-milena-gabanelli/covid-risc... (in Italian). 45000 excess people are estimated to have died in about 60 days, for an average of 750 per day so I was even remembering fewer than the actual value.

Testing was awful in the spring, serological surveys were made in June and estimated that only 15% roughly of the cases were caught and other surveys estimated even lower percentages (as low as 6%). The territorial distribution is also much more even this time, so it is easier to cope for the healthcare system.

My point is that any a priori estimate of the IFR falls apart if the healthcare system fails and the purpose of lockdown is to avoid that. You don't lock down because it's the only way to keep the IFR down; you lock down when you realize that tracing is failing to capture and/or isolate many cases, and therefore lockdown is the only remaining way to keep the IFR down.

I too grew up without free speech in a dictatorship and believe fervently in free speech. However I believe too that dictating to a company what speech they can have or can't have on their platform is a violation of free speech in itself. It is their right to disagree with someone's opinion and to deny them access to their platform. If we disagree with that action we punish with our eyeballs, or our wallets or we build our own.

That these platforms are so huge is a problem for sure but doesn't automatically classify them as institutions owned by the public. There are other ways to deal with companies that get too big.
> That way every language only needs to provide a connection to an intermediate specification, and it can connect to any language supporting that same specification.

The intermediate specification would be another language, so it would have the same impedance mismatch as the other N languages do.

You have memory management issues, OOP inheritance issues, semantic differences. Just trying to do a interoperability layer for the different versions of character strings would be incredibly hard.

Microsoft did something similar to this with CLI, but most people will note that JScript.Net and VB.Net are really new languages that just are optimized for porting Javascript and Visual Basic code over. They also defined a proprietary extension to C++ that allowed it to deal with managed objects so that it could interoperate with CLI code - but this did not aim to expose unmodified C++ code. Rather, it allowed you to use proprietary extensions to manually build bridges between the two.
Dead in the water.
The point is that we're finally there. That the market has been manipulated through government incentives is not as important as the fact that developers will now see renewables as more favourable in future projects. This is about momentum more than anything else, and momentum is hugely important when your horizon crosses decades.

The money ecosystem in play now favours renewables more than non-renewables, and that's reason to celebrate.
Misclicking is a tiny forgivable mistake.

Camunda is pretty nice and I have proposed it for projects, but it was shot down almost every time because 'BPM visual modelling is old-world' (it kind of says that on the homepage as well; 'modernize your legacy BPM systems'). We did a prototype for a big insurer in the UK and that went well, but covid+brexit killed the project altogether. It is nice to work with and to just toss it aside because of BPM modelling (and the charts belonging to them that make people from the industry who encountered them early 2000s cringe) is shortsighted (considering you can do everything in code). It is just that when people read the homepage, I guess from comments partners/clients made, it looks like going back 15+ years when you had fat java applet clients doing BPM and it always turning into a mess in the end.
>The fixed upfront equipment costs and carbon footprint do need to the factored in as well but they are not going to amount to much.

In the source I gave they actually _do_ factor in the equipment costs, and turns out it does amount to more than you think.

You can't ignore the fixed operational costs, because we're not asking what's the cost of sending a single incremental gigabyte. We're asking what's the cost of transferring data, today. Total energy divided by total data volume.

The site claims end-to-end encryption, but the API doesn't reflect that.
Things like these happen, and we should be compassionate towards them.

Often small changes to the structure drastically reduce probability of stuff like this happening.

Eg. we use docker to setup test and dev databases and seed from (processed) dumps. When we need to clean our database, we simply put down the docker container. Ie. we do not need to implement destructive database cleanup eliminating structure that could potentially fail.

Having policies about not accessing production database directly (and allow the extra time for building tooling around that policy), good preview / staging environments, etc. All fail eliminating structure.
> Model S and X are essentially disappearing in countries like Norway

You conveniently left out the Model 3. It also took Audi almost a decade to finally put it to market. Moreover, the chart from Reddit that you posted is from @fly4dat from Twitter. A known EU Tesla short seller. If you've been following anything Tesla related.

Ever noticed why he never post YTD or EOY numbers? There's a reason for that.

> As for the range, we all know that EPA sucks and the EPA official ranges for Tesla are fake as fuck https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EUsFLHBXQAAmENE?format=jpg&name=...

Your sources are hilarious. That image is from TeslaCharts. Another short seller. See Wikipedia link below. The EPA, though sometimes inefficient like other federal orgs is the governing body on range. I trust them more than anonymous short sellers on Twitter. Many people also did real world tests that proves that Tesla is still the efficiency king.

> all major car manufacturers are just as competitive when it comes to battery efficiency as Tesla

You clearly don't even understand the engineering aspect here. The efficiency is from the drivetrain, motors and software. Not "batteries". This is why Teslas can go further than their competitors. While still maintaining the performance specs. Even though they may sometimes have smaller batteries.
> Musk is an interesting example of someone who manages his time so well that he can work 100 hours a week and still manage to take time out for his hobbies, family, and even Twitter!

Could we not do this, please? It's basically shaming people for not being able to reach the super-human level of working 15-hour days AND get a good nights sleep AND have hobbies AND be a family man. This fetishization of "efficiency" is really getting to me as of late.

Also, didn't Elon suffer from mental health problems, needing medication to even be able to sleep?
No, it's just the result of someone being nearly 100% in control of their own schedule. If you work at a traditional 9-5 job your company effectively schedules the bulk of your day... you go to work at x, leave at x, take lunch around x, the company will direct you towards the work it requires.

If you're in control of your own day 100% then either you make a schedule or it's just a soup of everything mashed into one which I guarantee you will drive you slowly mad. I totally understand why people schedule their days like this, it removes the anxiety as your own boss of saying "what should I be doing right now".
I disagree.

Culturally speaking we like to pat people on their back when they do something stupid and comfort them. But most of the time this isn’t productive because it doesn’t instil the requisite fear required when working out what decision to make.

What happens is we have growing complacency and disassociation from consequences.

Do you press the button on something potentially destructive because your are confident it is ok through analysis, good design and testing or confidence it is ok through trite complacency?

The industry is mostly the latter and it has to stop. And the first thing is calling bad processes, bad software and stupidity out for what it is.

Honestly these guys did good but most will try and hide this sort of fuck up or explain it away with weasel words.
Doesn’t the issue of cloudy days remain though? I’m genuinely asking - the last I checked, solar efficiency took a backseat to battery storage as the step preventing us from moving forward.
Yeah, laser safe with optics is a real concern. Again IR might be useful here, for some frequencies only exotic materials are transparent like quartz, salt, transparent aluminum.

Using the lasers you could measure insect wing beat frequency to avoid killing non target insects. I believe I read that in an older paper about insect laser fences, maybe these authors ignored it because it's patented
I think you will always find something that the other product doesn't have (or doesn't have in the same way)

Postgres e.g. has the infrastructure for extendable data types and index types and the infrastructure for extensions - none of that can be found in MySQL and that infrastructure needs source code as well.

I don't think the nearly 3-fold difference can't be attributed to "features", but to other things. Maybe the projects are structured differently or include different additional tools in their code (e.g. the input files to generate the SQL parser, rather than the generated parser's C code).

The Exxon Valdez comes to mind - the company blamed the drunk captain, but this was just part of huge systemic failures and negligence.
Well put. There was a book from ages ago called The Ugly American which caused a big stir in US political circles because of the way it decried US foreign policy. It contrasted the US approach (dinner parties in the Embassy) withe the Russians - who learned the local languages, respected local cultural nuances and customs, and taught locals how to more effectively till their lands.

That contrast caused a huge stir in Washington but nothing changed. Americans (forgive my generalization) still prefer dropping bombs to building schools. Hammer, rather than quill.

That is how some people think, they are demonstrably wrong. There are things that are true and things that are false, not everything is an opinion.

The scientific method helps to see that your comment, that is a real feeling of many people, is not true.

That people is for sure sharing comments like yours in Facebook, and Facebook is promoting that comments for "engagement" shows how much Facebook needs to be regulated. Splitting Facebook and regulating it is not going to solve the problem overnight, but it is going to be a good step in the right direction.
I found it informative and enjoyable to read. I'm glad it had the details that it did and would have gotten less out of it if those details had been omitted.

Of course it's fine to value succinctness, but it sounds like your saying the author did something wrong or that he owes you something. Maybe "I found there were too many details and would have preferred it was much more succinct; for example..." would have been a better tone than "can we please try to be succinct"?

Smart devices exploited for domestic abuse
Okay, and that must include the expensive price and environmental concerns of maintaining ESS to ensure energy continuity, the price to run fossil fuel plants to prepare for cloudy days, expanding the power grid to remote solar locations, disposing used solar panels and inverters, chemicals and water to clean the panels, and many other hidden fees to make solar viable, right?
I would guess that capacity is designed wrt average insolation and not peak; spot market generation takes care of the peaks.
I am in the happy position of having just stumbled upon your site for the first time. Your interests lie very close to my own. Extremely happy to know you exist. Keep blazing your trail!
Going to space is still so expensive that it makes more sense to build a global HVDC power grid even though antopodal 800 kV connections of current designs would have 60% losses over that distance.

(And that’s assuming you get less than 60% losses going from electricity to light, through the atmosphere, back to electricity; and the ground station is free or negligible cost; and nobody worries about orbital death rays either malicious or accidental).

It sounds like you're agreeing with me: right wing news pages have far greater reach and popularity, in part because they game the system (as the Daily Wire does, for example, by amplifying its page traffic by reshares.)

It should still concern you that no Facebook page rivals these right wing pages. Just because a given URL might break into the top 10 URLs for a day doesn't affect that these pages dominate news feed volume.

If you go to Dan Bongino's Facebook page, you'll see why his page doesn't show up in the by-URL analysis: most of his content is not links to external content, but in-Facebook content. So I'm not sure why it's "misinformation" to point that his page has enormous amounts of traffic, and I think it's misleading to say that it doesn't because grouping by a metric that excludes that traffic.

It seems pretty unfair to argue, "If you just aggregate the data by a dimension that's null for these right wing pages, you'll find they tend to disappear!"
That’s messed up. IANAL but don’t think that the outcome in the US would have been the same.
There's plenty of R&D into cloudy-day solar collection, and there's also wind, tidal, hydro, as well as many clean battery technologies ranging from chemical to heat to gravitational. Not to mention traditional backup systems and smart grids.

We're not so fragile that cloudy days will shut down our energy grid.

So it's closer to 60% of citizen being attached to another country.

Why? This is worse on every possible level; cost, energy efficiency, safety. Just put panels on your roof.
> Most stupid things are done whilst sober.

That is because most companies these days have processes around drinking in workplace, coming in drunk and working drunk.

Most mistakes are done sober only in environments where drinking couple of vine cups and then doing production change is considered unacceptable. In environment where drunk people work, mistakes are made when drunk.
That's quite possible! Though after staring at thousands of these across many application domains, I do think the space-filling curves perform legitimately better.

Another factor is that the large discontinuities in the zig-zag curve means that a contiguous area in the data is not always contiguous in the visualisation, which makes things like the region selection I do for https://binvis.io impossible.

People don't want to hear it but saying 'solar is cheap when the sun shines' is like saying 'coal is cheap at the mine'. You need to send it to where it is needed and when it is needed.

Storage methods need tens of trillions of investment to reach that capacity and power prices would have to increase 10 to 100 fold to cover those investments.

Solar is not a solution for an industrial civilization.
Right but the spot market generation wasn’t enough to subsidize upkeep and development of the local grid I thought. Grids needed to be nationalized (or city...alized) to allow citizens to pay taxes to upkeep the grids, which cut into the price-efficiency of solar.

Again, I’m asking out of curiosity. My expertise is a few Reddit threads and some cursory Wikipedia research.

Hard in what way?
Prices (of goods, services and work) are in huge part influenced by affluence of the buyer.

I'm not sure if this effect is captured by some economic theory (can someone point me to it?) but it's very real.

On the local level where same goods can have very different prices if the local customers can afford higher prices.

Also on national level when real estate prices shot up when credit becomes more available due to change of rules.
Sure, that's true.

In that scenario it would also be appropriate to wait for a driver to sober up before driving you to the hospital if neither ambulance nor taxi were available (or delayed). One glass of wine would be out of most people's systems after two hours.

Thus poking hole in the "drunk drive someone to the hospital" argument, which is what this was all about in the first place.
That’s a problem with the ambulance service. Not with people being able to drive while drunk.

That's interesting, since most founding fathers were progressive in their own right. And most ideas related to the founding of the USA revolved around the ideas of the enlightenment, which were all progressive and liberal in nature, in fact they pretty much coined both terms.
This sounds quite interesting. Any books you could recommend on the "pilot error" topic.
By that logic you should factor in the environmental costs of fossil fuels when calculating the costs of that.

But oops nope we don’t pay that now, we’ll just let future generations handle it.
