The trial is big; tens of thousands of people would be normal. One problem with this sort of trial is that the sort of person who volunteers is also quite likely to be careful, so they're not getting COVID enough. Pfizer/BioNtec trial showed similar numbers.
>Better? Explain

Not GP, but it seems to me that given the large consumer spending portion of GDP (~70% in the US) in developed countries, anything that will limit folks going out and spending money, like:

1. Retail sales;

2. Air/rail/bus travel;

3. Going to bars/restaurants;

4. Hospitality (hotels/cruises);

5. Theater/concerts;

6. Public transportation.

Is likely to have significant negative effect on the economy as a whole until the majority of the population is convinced that they won't become sick and/or put their vulnerable loved ones at risk.

As such, it seems to me that we won't be able to resuscitate the economy fully until we have some semblance of herd immunity.

Whether that herd immunity comes from a vaccine or millions of deaths and tens of millions of long-term effects, or from a broadly deployed vaccine will also have significant economic impact.

tl;dr: if many/most won't go to the mall, the pub or Mallorca, the economy will continue to flounder. We won't get past that until people feel safe around others.
Intelligence is a complex interplay of nature and nurture. There is no way to test only the "nature" component, it's akin to unmixing a pot of purple paint to extract the red and blue.

A lot of IQ test questions get easier the more mathematics you have studied.
I wonder this about a large majority of corporate lawyers who somehow seem like members of a parasitic species which has found a host which they can exploit for resources by inducing changes in their behaviour, comparable to the way the Toxoplasma parasite makes mice less scared of cats [1].

It wasn't "advice". It's a true statement: Most fruit isn't as healthy as people think it is.

If you've got someone eating an unhealthy diet, but sticking some token fruit in, then that means that even their token nods towards good diet aren't as good as they think, and they should be made aware of that.
Oh, I didn't know that, thanks. I'm sure it's enough for statistical significance given the difference, I was just wondering why there were so few cases in 30k people, but it looks like that's just the normal case rate.

Right, I understand the pull towards individualism, and I default towards it. We are in a pandemic. We’ve been here for months. It’s not a time for individualism, and in fact, poorly expressing individualism will merely reinforce collectivism.

That’s the root problem. If I was blinded by the medical system, I’d shut the hell up in a global pandemic, because it’s not all about me.

That is definitely not the case. There are plenty of employers making things worse. One of my first jobs was for a telephone fundraising outfit. We'd cold-call people, manipulate and like to them, so they'd donate money for our charity of the week, and keep 85% of it.

I should make clear my opinion - I do trust western medicine, vaccines, science et al. I do not however trust them 100% - mistakes are made, and this is my life. I can question them, and I should. Their role is to instill trust and not disregard peoples concerns out of hand.
If you have trouble breathing there might be some asthma advice that is useful. Mine got better, but a long time ago a doctor told me to try restricting the outward airflow when you are exhaling. Surprisingly this helped me feel better. You do it by puckering your lips as you exhale instead of just opening your mouth. It's unintuitive, but his explanation was that you increase the pressure in your lungs by creating some pressure in your mouth. No idea about any evidence behind it. Also your breathing problem might not be similar to an asthma attack.

I hope you get better soon.
I don't think 20 apples is that much.

And we are talking about people who are obese, they are consumgint oo many calories per day, every day.

Now lets take a real example: obese people tend to drink juices and replacing soda with juice because they assumed juices are healthy.

I can easily drink 2 liters of water or 2 liters of juice/soda every day. 470 calories for 1 liter -> 900 calories additional.

Wait... how do you know it's COVID?

I mean, given how prevalent it is right now it certainly could be COVID, but to your own point, a rash isn't a particularly common symptom, in the ~15% range. Fever, chills, cough, night sweats, breathing problems. Could be any of a range of upper respiratory diseases. In any other year I'd say you have bronchitis - there's 3 million cases of that every year in the US too.

> It's about the 95% never being contagious.

I don't think the study has measured whether vaccinated people are less contagious (or get infected). It's primarily measuring protection from disease.
The ebola vaccine has to be held at -80C, though it hasn't been given to huge numbers of people.
If GitHub received a DMCA takedown notice, they would be obligated to takedown the copies of the fonts listed in the notice, including if old copies were listed. I'm unsure if they could say "all releases before X" or would need to link each one.

If the copyright owners tried to sue the project for copyright infringement, IANAL but I would assume that the removal from head would show an attempt to correct the mistake and limit liability.

If the copyright holder sued an individual I imagine it would matter if they were mirroring the repo or just intentionally downloaded the copyrighted files for personal use.
Agile is designed not to scale.

Every framework that seeks to scale agile is ultimately a malignant attempt to retrofit it into an older method that is more conducive to reporting.
> They're talking about 100Gbps ethernet traffic. Where does one even see that line rate?

The higher the peak throughout, the more margin you have for user applications.

If the peak throughout is 100Gbps then it’s likely that it will only consume 1% of resources at a more pedestrian 1Gbps throughout.
K0s – yet another Kubernetes Distribution by Mirantis What are your thoughts?
k0s - Another Kubernetes distribution by

@MirantisIT

kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
2.novalocal Ready <none> 7m38s v1.19.3

~170mb Binary k0s is a successor to pharos project by Kortena (https://github.com/kontena/pharos-cluster)

k0s was previously called MKE(Mirantis kubernetes/Container Engine I suppose) its control plane is meant to be isolated (there is no way to schedule workloads on controller nodes ). No container engine running on the control plane multiple db support based on @Rancher_Labs Kine

Konnectivity for Node-control plane communication is similar to tunnel proxy of k3s

I like the
- isolated control plane
- custom worker profiles
- Future native cluster backup/restore and other features
Overall a good project to keep an eye on but a lot of effort is the same as of k3s

What are your thoughts/opinions?
Thousands (30) of people are in the trial, half were assigned randomly to the control group. So far 95 people in the trial have caught COVID and, when they unblinded the data, they discovered that 90 of those infections where in the control group. Since participants were randomly assigned into the test group vs the control group and so both groups should have the same amount of exposure, this is a strong signal that the vaccine was effective. Here's an article about Moderna's trial with a link to their 135 page (!) design doc https://www.livescience.com/moderna-vaccine-trial-protocol.h...
The vaccine isn't owned by the federal government. It's owned by these private companies. The Trump administration cannot prevent the vaccine from being disseminated to the public neither here in the US, or in the rest of the world.
To answer your first question - I’ve personally achieved the advertised 100Gbps line rate on the bigger AWS instances.
NASA has to sign it off so yes they do have input into engineering practices in that sense, but they do not have any say in the design itself or how SpaceX reach the engineering criteria. They set the goals, but not the methods of achieving them.

Yeah, same. Years ago I did work for a medical advertising company. They were lovely, smart, creative people. But the more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to aid for-profit manipulation of people. I've stayed away from ads since, and never regretted it.
This is anecdotal evidence and trying to derive patterns from it is dangerous. We know that COVID-19 is much more dangerous than the typical annual flu and we are at risk of overrunning the icus.
> Unless you are a programmer, do not use things like roam research. It is too complex and too rigid.

Care to expand? I've only used Roam a bit, but when I did, I pretty much just typed directly into the daily note and that was it. Roam is more for thinking and connecting ideas is my understanding. Programmers typically keep notes for future reference.
Also the MRNA seems easier to distribute as it doesn't need such a low temperature as Pfizer
They shouldn't have to be though; internationalized domain names have been a standard for a decade now. Browsers, DNS servers and web servers should be on top of that.

I mean sure, 10+ years ago they would have used plain ascii domain names, but nowadays they should be free to user their own language and script. At least two thirds of the world population and internet users does not use latin script.
> 2. Tart cherry juice is mentioned a lot as a cure. There are a quite a few studies[2]. Make sure and get the tart cherry (Montmorency) juice, you can get it in a concentrated syrup. My uncle says he has not had an attack since he started drinking a generic supermarket tart juice every day. I have never had an attack whilst taking cherry juice but i haven't been taking it consistently.

Tart Cherry Extract capsules are another option. Gout pain relief within hours. (Note, there is a drowsy/melatonin side effect with big doses)

Creams with high concentrations of menthol and methyl salicylate seem to help. Also applied to the ankle and knee (along with massage) to help stimulate circulation away from the big toe.

So after initially saying there's no way I'd take a vaccine that has been rushed to market I'm now thinking that, as a middle aged male with no kids, I sort of have a duty to take the risk. I suppose the vaccines will go to higher risk groups and front line medical staff first, but once they're available I'm signing up.
Its a bit deeper.

Custom strategies for reading and writing have a huge impact. (orders of magnitude for specific workloads rather than generic page cache scheduling)

EDIT (After 1 minute): Looks like its working again. Wonder how such a service can go down. Was Github's server failing or DNS?
What if there aren't straightforward explanations to what needs to be done? Should I not trust my Dr because they can't bring complex medical concepts down to my level? Do clients of software development companies require that the developer explain things in "clear terms" for them? I thought we called that marketing wank.

Drs, nurses, and all other medical professionals are required to do training/recertification in my country. I "inherently trust" them because the system allows me to.

As for private vs. socialized, that will always be a point of contention. Some people want to be able to choose, but even being able to choose shows some amount of (and I hate this word) privileges. The vast majority of people simply do not have the financial means to "choose" a Dr in a privatized system; if they can even get access to one.

Why do we trust professionals so little?
An assassin is a work for a hire arrangement.
The trick is to know the bounded context of the "iffy-ness". Iffy code that might occasionally lead to latency or a timeout for some users using your service, is different from iffy code that charges the user the wrong dollar amount at checkout, or iffy code that could brick a user's device. Great engineers know which things are safe (enough) to take what types of shortcuts on.
Making it contingent on approval will make them more cautious, however.

OTOH the first log table was computed by taking successive square roots of 10. Then you use the binary expansion of each number on your scale, right? So compass-and-straightedge doesn't seem crazy, since square roots are easier that way than numerically by hand.

>Simply untrue. It could be true for some distros, some driver versions and some hardware... but if you consider everything, Windows runs better than Linux. Mostly because most hardware is designed to run well on Windows. The Linux versions are either an afterthought or built and maintained by third-party.

You mean drivers instead of hardware right? Typically performance is roughly the same. Sometimes better sometimes worse.
The issue is where they don't exist or are an afterthought indeed and then it's quite frustrating.

>Windows updates aren't stealthy and they can be disabled. If you really don't want an update, it is MUCH MORE straightforward to avoid installing the optional update in Windows than it is for Linux distros.

What? What are you on about?
I have yet to install an update for Linux that I didn't specifically give my permission for.
Automatic updates are turned of by default on any distro I've tried and they don't come as bundled as they do for windows where a recent random update I just checked includes some changes for input devices, office products, basic operations security and the DST start date for the Fiji Islands.

It looks neat but....
For some reason it uses a different language (that I've never selected to be used) in most of it's UI. Is a common problem in Belgium apparently and I guess same in other multilingual countries which is weird because that's not an issue anywhere else in the OS.

Can I do stuff like build something differently on install if I want to?

>Some distros do. Ubuntu has it, for example.

An outlier more than anything and one that asks you if you want it on install and later disabling it is a checbox away.

>This is true. However, this has been a problem, which is why something like Ubuntu which has good defaults which they stick to has been so much successful than anything else.

Fully agree it has been a problem and still is for it's adoption. I don't think it's what notably contributed to Ubuntu's success in the past tho.

These both use mRNA technology which is new but has heavily been invested in for years.

Sure! One example is vim-dispatch, which provides a convenient interface for executing arbitrary shell commands asynchronously.

It works wonderfully with make, so you can run “make $file” in a couple strokes. I use this when writing markdown (to generate html with pandoc), editing test files, etc.

Another example is when I’m “cleaning” a large csv file. Most times, I can record my movements cleaning a single line, and then replay those actions N times. You could do the same thing with a regex sometimes, but for really complicated files this is easier.

A final, simpler one: I have <Leader>f mapped to fd piped into fzf piped into open. Other editors probably have fuzzy file finders. Some of them maybe even use fzf internally.

But I think this example demonstrates how vim embodies UNIX ideas, as a modal text editor that depends on other binaries for complex behavior. People levy this as a complaint, that it doesn’t come feature complete, but it’s in reality a strength. Because while other editors wax and wane in terms of features and performance, vim only ever gets faster, as the binaries you depend on are swall out for better replacements every couple years.
Call a doctor first and see if it's worth going in. Definitely beats consuming valuable health resources before you know you need them.
Indeed, I know two people that went to the hospital because they thought it was covid, but in both cases it was pulmonary embolism, which has very similar symptoms. I'm not even close to a medical expert, but I wouldn't be surprised that because of less physical movement due to being home more, embolisms are more common.

Right, but the RIAA aren’t just making new abusable things, they’re actively abusing existent ones.
From the side of a free software user, it's exhausting to see Apple claim over and over in its marketing that it values privacy and then to see its users on a site for tech-literate people parrot that marketing when it is clearly not true. Any time I see somebody fall for that, I will call them out. Any time after I call them out on that, if they say that reduction in privacy is to prevent the spread of malware, I will also call them out because Apple's malware track record in the mobile space is worse than its peers. I'm absolutely fine with people saying that their mobile processors are great because as far as I can tell, that's a true statement. It is the parroting of known false marketing claims that I will correct every single time.
