What's your point? That there was a wave of excess deaths? That happens in most countries in Europe, most years, just due to flu and other winter issues. Not every year: Sweden was running 10% lower excess deaths than the 5 year average until the first wave hit, so some of those excess deaths were over-due according to historical trends. That's why it's misleading to point to month-by-month graphs and say for example, look, April is never normally that high, there's a crisis. No, normally a wave much like that one happens a few months earlier. But so what? The exact timing of a normal-sized wave of excess death is no crisis.

the excess deaths that they're looking to have will probably be...

Will probably be normal. That's what this thread is about. There is no evidence of mass death of any kind of Sweden despite that this was supposedly guaranteed without lockdowns. September was one of the least deadly months on record in Sweden. They are on track to experience a basically normal year in terms of deaths.

As for motivated reasoning, it's relevant to this discussion because the thread is full of it. Many of the talking points are absurd. There are people arguing that the Swedes are naturally anti-social and don't meet each other (!), that they're incomparable to other countries due to population density (Stockholm has similar density to London), that they should have locked down because their economy only did a bit better vs other countries (compare against the UK or France and their GDP looks good), and all manner of other things that are either wrong or irrelevant to the reason their death stats are interesting: they didn't lock down and their total, all cause deaths are nothing remarkable. The implication is obvious: lockdowns were pointless, the damage they caused was avoidable, the academic advisors to governments were wrong (except in Sweden), and other countries should unlock ASAP.
Why do you think they does? I’m so tired of always hearing the deflection: “oh lock at China, they are much worse”. No, they aren’t. Their per capita emissions are still much lower than Europe and North America. I wish they did more, but the productive (and mature) thing to do is to focus on what we should do, not whine about what someone else should.
You speak as if the war will end on that. Both sides will still have enough conventional standing forces to keep fighting for months.

A prospect of USA trying to win a land war in China is mind boggling, and equally so for China launching a land operation in the USA.
The terms also emerge for certain languages with a specific type of community around them. For example, I don't know if C++ developers really care enough to give themselves these kinds of labels.
What? Sweden didn't mobilize the entire country, they did the exact opposite, which is what this whole discussion is about?! Are you thinking of somewhere else?
No, it's not Florida, so it won't be that bad, but in my short time here (about 8 years) it does seem like winter storms are more frequent, I'm sure the Western (and Southern?) coasts have seen a lot of rain and flooding. Some recent summers have had some pretty intense heatwaves (35+ C around the county). It's definitely not a catastrophe, but there are changes
That is why i made the switch to Goland, even if i switched to VSCode from the Jetbrains Products before.

Just switch, you will stop thinking about your setup and just work instead.
Military expenditure doesn't magically evaporate, it's used to pay people, predominantly in the US. It contributes to the economy just as other government spending does.

How does the P / E ratio work
Price-to-earnings ratio is a valuation measure that compares a company's earnings per share (EPS) to the current market price. This metric is widely known and used as an indicator of the company's future growth potential. The price-earnings ratio does not reveal a complete picture, and it is most useful when comparing firms in the same industry only or comparing firms to the general market.

Typically, a high P / E ratio means that the market is willing to pay a higher price compared to the earnings because there is an expectation of future growth in the company. Tech stocks, for example, usually carry high P / E ratios. A lower price-return ratio indicates that the market expects less growth in the company or perhaps less favorable macroeconomic conditions that may harm the company. As a result, despite its earnings, the stock will usually sell somewhat if it has a low P / E because investors do not believe that the current price justifies the earnings expectations.

Advantages of using the EV / EBITDA multiplier

free gold signals

One of the most effective ways to use the EV / EBITDA value is comparative evaluation where the scale is used to evaluate similar firms in the same industry.

Disadvantages of EV / EBITDA

However, the EV / EBITDA ratio does have its drawbacks, such as the fact that it does not include capital expenditures, which can be important for some industries. As a result, it may result in a more favorable multiplier by not including these expenses.

P / E Ratio vs EV / EBITDA

The price-earnings ratio has been established as a primary metric for evaluating the market, and the sheer volume of current and historical data gives metric weight with respect to inventory analysis.

>Simply instead of "resistance" they call them "pro-democratic rebels"

Which is mostly accurate (the rebels part, we have no idea what regime they would have set up). Iran officially supported Hamas and Hizbollah, the former even after it's been declared a terrorist org. When one does those things so openly, it's no wonder the designations follow.

>(e.g. search for a humble "freedom-fighter" Osama).

Al-Qaeda (or the Taliban) didn't even exist at the time.

>So do please clarify what exactly I am "mixing"?

Your original comment mixed JCPOA (a text at most binding members who signed it but does not override UN resolutions), nuclear sanctions (removed under UN 2231, not the JCPOA), economic sanctions (not all removed, since quite a bit is not nuclear), terror sanctions (e.g. Solemani), etc.

>LOL what? When ISIS has started making territorial claims...

ISIS existed before they made 'claims'. The organization is what Al-Qaeda in Iraq evolved into once they got radical beyond even what Bin Laden wanted (Bin Laden opposed targeting Shiites). Al-Qaeda in Iraq was supported by Assad and Iran. Just recently someone assassinated an Al-Qaeda head in Tehran.

>If anything, it's American support of Sunni rebels in the hope that they will overthrow the Assad government resulted in the creation of ISIS as a quasi-state.

Ah, yes, the US created ISIS conspiracy theory. Lets remember the US left Iraq and was happy to be out until ISIS called it back. ISIS then took over Mosul first, and only then became a quasi-state. The holding in Syria came later, and it was the US (with SDF) which threw them out.

I can imagine many existing tools still rely on the commands being directly accessible on PATH, and Apple may be reluctant to break them outright even that’s the goal. They are declared deprecated so people would refrain from using them for new things, and move old things away from them. That’s basically what deprecation means in software, as I understand it. Those commands wouldn’t be called deprecated if Apple breaks them outright.
The rest of the world was NOT a bloodbath with overflowing hospitals. Look at the UK. Excess death once of the worst in Europe but not actually bad at all, lower than 1999/2000 in fact. Hospitals were ghost towns during these periods, cleared out with operations cancelled and people told to avoid attending to make way for a wave of COVID patients that never came. Same story is repeated all over the world, hence viral videos of dancing medics on TikTok. The hospitals were quiet, there was no bloodbath. See past the groupthink and mass hysteria: the stats don't show anything except a normal year made worse by lockdowns.

It has better back-of-the-envelope maths than you could do, it use peer reviewed lifecycle data, take into account real world tank-to-weel CO2 emission from cars where NEDC and WLTP underestimate them massively, well-to-tank emission to make and transport petrol, lifecycle batteries, glider, engine and also the future decarbonation of the electric grid. It shows way better estimates than you claim.
And that's the part where I think it collapses. In many fields (not just computer science), the best people get interested and tinker with the subject early on. Overall, if the only way to learn how to develop and maintain "the system" is in their 20s at a university (or apprenticeship or whatever), I think the quality will deteriorate over time and the system will become unmaintainable.

If the employer offers terms you don’t like then don’t work for them.

But there’s really no reason to do the employer the service of telling them.

Sweden had an unusually low number of excess deaths between Jan 2019 and March 2020, much lower than its neighbours. That's very likely the reason it did "worse" than e.g. Denmark - simply because it did "better" the previous years. Words in quotes because it's unclear they're actually doing anything different and waves of elderly deaths due to respiratory viruses seem rather random.

Virtual addresses are a thing already.

It's used by business to pretend to have an office in city X (expensive) while actually working in city Y (or in a completely different country). It can also be used to provide an address coming from a fashionable/trendy part of the city.

There are similar services that offer re-mailing services. Basically you pay a fee and have a fund for postages/stamps. Whenever mail arrives it gets re-packaged and re-mailed to your real address.

It's basically proxying for real mail.

I used reship.com multiple times to appear to be located in Oregon and overcome "we don't ship to your location" problems.
I don’t disagree, but I wouldn’t describe it as a “huge gamble.”

People would just need to continue owning electric/second-hand ICE vehicles and, in the case of electric vehicles, find ways of charging them away from their homes.

When autonomous vehicles become widely available (2030, 2040, or whenever), I think many would decide owning an expensive, depreciating asset they only use sparingly is more hassle than it’s worth.
AS has support for virtualisation so VirtualBox will probably make it, but most likely only for running operating systems that run on ARM. There's very little preventing VB for being used as a tool to run the ARM versions of Linux or your favourite flavour of BSD, but Windows probably won't work (not until MS releases a download for Windows on ARM, at least). So, VirtualBox itself will work, but using it to run Windows applications won't.

The same is true for Docker, when someone gets a Linux VM to boot, Docker becomes a possibility just like on a normal version of macOS.

In the end I think it's only a matter of time before someone manages to combine Rosetta and virtualisation instructions (even though Apple says they don't support it) and fast-ish x64 emulation becomes a possibility. It will likely require some huge hacks that won't be allowed into the app store, but if Apple doesn't lock down the platform more with upcoming OS releases, developers and other technical-minded people will run that stuff just fine.
This doesn't make sense. Seoul is at risk because it is very close to the border where-as Pyongyang is much further from their mutual border.

There are, of course, other considerations, but Seoul would be very difficult to defend from 'simple' weapons like artillery. The US is very proud of it's ability to fire artillery 40 miles (64km), but Pyongyang is much further than that.

RE: Chinese GDP
Chinese GDP is probably not a great measure as a large % of the population are still very poor and have therefore very low consumption. In order for a larger amount of people to transition into the middle class would start matching and likely exceeding other country's GDP CO2 emissions.

RE: economic impact
People have in fact quantified it but it's a big topic as you can imagine. I don't think it's hugely controversial to suggest that poverty results in poor health and the data is clear that poor countries tend to have significantly lower life expectancy and higher poor health outcomes.

I played with these kinds of reductions in a subset of scheme, and the flow analysis you need to do to be able to do it safely is nontrivial at best depending on how you limit the semantics of your language.

It was a lot easier to do with something like srfi-171 [0] due to their semantics. Fusing those steps is as simple as inlining.

Of course. I mean importing shard2 within shard1. You can always `use super::*` but, ugh.

And with most imports in Rust being unqualified (that seems to be the idiomatic approach), I then find it difficult to differentiate types that are from a sibling, internal module from types that are important from external crates. Especially at site of use of the type.

Go's “local package names unqualified, everything else qualified” makes it much easier for me to read code without first having to parse all the import statements.
Interesting I only noticed the mention of regulatory genes once in the article. It does not say whether the fast evolving new genes are coding genes or regulatory /master switch genes. The former would indeed be a challenge to dogma such as I recently read in Some Assembly Required by Niel Shubin. The latter is exactly what makes sense.

A programming analogy made most sense to me reading Niel's book. The coding genes are like the lower level functions like for loops if then else statements etc. The regulatory genes are the blocks of code or procedures that use these common functions to make lots of unique things.

Evolution by natural selection works by rapid changes to the regulatory genes or master switches while holding the coding genes basically constant at pain of death before reproduction.

Shading excess deaths isn't weird, that's fine. However it's misleading because they don't compute the reverse integral. This article does:

https://www.aier.org/article/swedens-dry-tinder-accounts-for...

If you take into account the amount by which Sweden's excess deaths were lower in the runup to COVID than expected, and in particular, lower than its neighbours, then Sweden starts to look more like its immediate bordering countries and in particular, 2020 looks like a normal year that simply caught up with an otherwise very non-deadly 2018-2019.

The weird assumption they're making is that excess deaths == COVID deaths. It's stated half way down.

US imposes sanctions on al-Shabab over military base attack
Right now, we are at an unusual point in time where workforces are going from geographically consolidated to dispersed. Thus, we think of the "standard" salary as what they pay in San Francisco, and ask for everyone to be paid that.

But the advantage of a remote workforce, from the employer's point of view, is 1) getting the brilliant people who can't leave their hometown to work for you, and 2) not having to pay San Francisco salaries. If you're an incredibly gifted talent, you'll fall into category 1 and they will pay you the San Francisco pay regardless of your location (or you can find an employer who will). But if your contribution is shipping high quality, but fundamentally non-novel, Node apps or similar, you'll find that the "standard" salary is that which is paid in Timbuktu, and if you're sitting in San Francisco and want more, you'll have to provide your employer with a compelling reason, or they'll just opt to hire a second person in Timbuktu instead.
