Looking at the map:

It includes the Route of the Hiawatha:

https://www.ridethehiawatha.com/the-trail

Which is on the Montana-Idaho border way up in the mountains in a very sparsely-populated area. It's operated by the Lookout Pass Ski Area and one end of the trail is the ski lodge. Going on that trail is truly memorable:

> The Route of the Hiawatha mountain bike or hike trail is 15 miles long with 10 train tunnels and 7 sky-high trestles. The ride starts with a trip through the 1.661 mile long St. Paul Pass Tunnel, also known as the Taft Tunnel. It is a highlight of the trail that follows the crest of the Bitterroot Mountains near Lookout Pass Ski Area. The best part is.... it's mostly downhill with shuttle buses available to transport you and your bike back to the top.

I think this may be the interview where people in the "he lied" camp may be referencing:

“…when people were saying you don’t really need to wear a mask well the reason for that is that we were concerned the public health community and many people were saying this were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment including the N95 masks and the surgical masks were in very short supply and we wanted to make sure that the people namely the health care workers who were brave enough to put themselves in a harm ways to take care of people who you know are infected with the corona virus and the danger of them getting infected we did not want them to be without the equipment that they needed so there was not enthusiasm about going out and everybody buying a mask or getting a mask we were afraid that that would deter away and the people who really needed it”
Remember that when it comes to personal credit scores (or even pricing of corporate debt) the IMF is no more important than, say, the Harvard econ department. They have no authority over such matters. It's just research.

Pricing of sovereign debt, particularly of more "problematic" countries, yeah - that's their purpose/business.

Sweden’s population is double Norway’s.

It has denser and bigger cities.

Norway has had severe flu seasons, with high fatality rates that may have reduced the number of vulnerable people in the pop.

Cultural similarities are debatable; many in Sweden have complained about that outdated comparison.

Finally: minimising lives lost is not the only goal in a pandemic, or even in the day to day management of a country.
His reason for recommending not wearing masks was "to save PPE capacity for frontline medical workers". Not any of reasons he gave at the time.

This is a definition of ulterior motive.

I'm not making a judgement whether he was right/wrong by giving that advice (which the WHO did as well for the same reasons). Just pointing out that he did lie.

I personally don't like being lied to by people that represent a lot of power (doesn't matter what they're motives are. Lying is used to deceive for ulterior motives). That is just an indicator that I can't trust public facing scientists because the truth is not a priority, rather only the outcome that they desire (whether personally or as a group.) But that's not new.
But is it Obsidian type?
This is my observation too. Compliance varies across different parts of London. I was quite surprised to be the only person wearing a mask in a busy Tesco Local in East London several weeks after they were first mandated. In comparison, in far South East London it's unusual to see someone without a mask shopping.

I’m on PS4 pro and have the same take as you. Game is fine to play, collision bugs & other graphic related bugs are issues that should be resolved. The game is not unplayable, the universe is well designed, story enjoyable BUT bug are common and I cant imagine playing on a base PS4. My experience with the pro is probably my lowest acceptable limit to play a game.
Okay.

Did we listen to the same podcast? It still had a lot of information and value even if you entirely remove Chaudhry's story. And even for his story, it was very clearly presented as not fully certain. I wouldn't call it "nearly-fiction", it's closer to your average True Crime podcast where you are presented with the known information and it's up to you to decide if you believe it or not.
Their definition of "minimal disruption" seems really off to me. In distributed storage systems, it's not necessary for keys to be either left alone or reassigned only to the new bucket when a bucket is added. Other reassignments are perfectly valid, even if they're usually undesirable (part of a balancing act that I'll get to in a moment). Similarly, their definition of balance as equal probability seems unduly restrictive. Yes, it's desirable, but has to be weighed against the cost of reassignment. What they've done is set up an overly restrictive set of inclusion criteria, while ignoring the metrics that actual practitioners would use to compare hashing methods.

(1) Total number of reassignments when a bucket is added. Note that this can be minimized independently of whether those reassignments are only to the new bucket or include others as well. They're orthogonal properties.

(2) Number of reassignment destinations when a bucket is removed. Sometimes you want this to be low and sometimes you want it to be high, but it's rarely something you can ignore.

(3) Load associated with reassignments. Perfect balance (in the authors' sense) has to be weighed against the cost of reassignment, which can be high for storage applications. Depending on this cost and the rate of change, sometimes it's better to reach approximate balance and then leave things alone. I've worked on systems that over-optimized for perfect balance, and the results weren't good.

Perhaps this work is more applicable to something like load-balancing requests. For storage, it basically seems to be missing the point. IMO they should have left storage out of their introduction.
> Why? They see tech as a direct competitor and want as much smearing as they can.

That's absolute nonsense. How in the world does the NY Times compete directly with Facebook, Google, Spotify etc? There's a bit of indirect competition (ad revenue, podcast viewership) but nothing direct.

German does a better job of separating the words for free as in speech ("frei") and free as in beer ("gratis", "kostenlos", "umsonst").

But curiously, it's exactly the other way around for "einfach", which has two drastically different meanings ("easy" and "simple") that Germans tend to conflate because German only has one word for it.

I don’t like the branding of this algorithm at all. The biggest win from consistent hashing is you don’t have to keep any state, that’s kind of the whole point of it. Since this algorithm is stateful I don’t think it’s fair to put it in the same class of algorithms.
All good. Link appreciated anyway.

There are several piles of dirt in Cahokia. Part of the trouble is there has never been a serious attempt to uncover and restore the site. But unlike say Machu Pichu or Chichen Itza, it's on the shore of the Missippi with a highway cutting through it and a few centuries of both flooding and human development on top of what could be there.

What's sad is that it's barely outside St. Louis and isn't a part of their tourist identity, despite basically being on top of one of the oldest settlements in North America.

Just curious, my understanding is that Canada's case is only getting started. Yes, they charged him for "hoax", but it could very well be a trap: Chaudhry has to either provide proof that he is an ISIS fighter, or admit it was all a hoax.

Either way, we won't know for sure until the case is over. So far it's just alleged.

I think a lot of discussion here is conflating kindness with vulnerability. Kindness can sometimes mean vulnerability, but saying “no” is not inherently unkind. Kindness is also not necessarily self-sacrificing. You can have firm boundaries but be incredibly kind. Working out the differences to me has opened up a new level of relationships.
>>they're putting it out there as being at least partially true when it was actually entirely false.

We know now that it was entirely false. She didn't at the time. The flak at Canadian police had to take is regrettable. They were investigating, had to keep quiet, and couldn't "clear their name" for several months. She owes an apology, but that's somewhat outside of "The Caliphate" itself.

Look... I realize that my take on this is contradictory to journalistic norms. Maybe there is actual tension between practicable "journalistic integrity" and my layman's definition of "honest" journalism.

Frame matters a lot. If you are printing a single column article summarizing the Chaudery saga, standard "journalist integrity" makes a lot of sense. Not verified enough. The primary source is lying about some stuff at least. Don't print.

If you are making an audio series that follows a journalist on investigation... This allows for shades of uncertainty. Callimachi is very confident in the source at first. Later, she catches him on some lies. By the end, he's clearly a dubious source at best. I don't think you can summarize this as "putting it out there." This isn't a Reuters wire. You can have ambiguity.

She should not have jumped to the conclusion that Canadian police were inept. That was bad instincts, and an investigative failure resulted.

In any case, I'm not saying it's journalistically perfect. I'm just shocked that it is being treated as a low watermark. I feel like a lot of reporting can and does clear a "journalistic integrity" hurdle, but scores much lower than Callimachi in my estimation of "honest journalism." I guess we value different things.

Tangent: something about this thread is making me think of "The Wire," All the lines about "good police work."
I mean if the virus mutates at a speed like this it may be useful to allow mRNA as a platform (at least for this virus). So that we can get the vaccines out faster than the virus mutates. (Assuming effectiveness of the vaccine is impacted)
This is still a game with typical 9/10 scores. The PC release doesn’t seem buggier than comparable titles.

The last-gen console version obviously wasn’t finished but someone on some level of management still decided that a Christmas release of a buggy game on ps4 was still more important than a release of it in spring and just a pc/ps5 release of a decent game for Christmas.
Could I see your list of mathematician rankings? Sounds fascinating.
From the getting started tutorial,[1] I notice that (certain) functions appear to have the method "system" added to them. For example:

> Note the hello_world.system() function call. This is a "trait extension method" that converts the hello_world function into the System type. ...

Later follows an example where a function previously defined as add_people appears to have a method called "system", allowing expressions like this:

add_people.system()

I don't see any macros on the function definitions, so where does this come from. Also, what's the purpose of adding the system method to functions?

It is, but are they actually planning to do this?

The key is that you need to stagger them now - maybe over a 10 day period to be safe (plan for 2 days off, so 20% out of action with 10 days, try to use “weekend” time for this)

But in the middle of a pandemic, even 20% is a lot of lost capacity

And then some people need to be in the day 8, 9 and 10 groups so won’t “get the vaccine first”

So it’s actually not quite as simple as just spreading them out over a few days and hope for the best.

It'd also have meant severing food supply chains (and probably also medical supply chains and a bunch of others). The UK relies on trucks coming across from the continent and continuing on to destinations throughout the country with their original drivers. Ending that would make Brexit look like a walk in the park by comparison. Also, you've got to remember that the time period during which the UK would've had to do this for it to be effective was one where the WHO and all the right-thinking people were insisting that border restrictions were counterproductive, xenophobic and made things worse, something Trump would do, and when Italy still incorrectly believed they had zero cases.

Except that people are quite often ripped off by car mechanics. Whenever there is an information asymmetry some proportion of the individuals with more knowledge will take advantage of it. I know nothing about cars, so when a mechanic tells me my car needs a $1000 repair, I have to take them at their word or get a second opinion, which is usually more effort than I'm prepared to expend. That sort of imbalance is irresistible to some people in all walks of life, including auto-repair, sales, and engineering.

I took it to be sarcastic. It was a spectacular fail as within about a year of the acquisition everything good they were doing had completely disappeared from view never to be seen again. That's not to say that DEC could have done any better on their own: with the absolute market dominance of Wintel at the time, they were flaming out as so many other mini and workstation companies did as their markets evaporated.
It's frankly worse because he won't even admit he was lying. We knew about asymptomatic spread back in January and he's mischaracterizing his own "masks don't work" message. It just further erodes any reason to trust him.

"Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks"

"There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face." - Dr Fauci, March 8th 2020

This is one of those generalizations that just doesn't work for a country with hundreds of millions of people. You think those in the South and Midwest are hyperactive? Hardly. Those in sleepy beach towns? Nah.

Absolutely! It's an amazing tool, but in my opinion the tight integration actually makes it harder to use at times.
The goal is to maximize how much of your social time and energy is spent on mutually rewarding interactions and relationships relative to one-sided or exploitative interactions and relationships.

A constraint is wanting to remain open to potentially rewarding new relationships (so not simply closing yourself off to people who aren't already in your circle).

Another constraint is remaining flexible for when people update their behavior (in either direction). Which I think answers your objection? If you were in a bad state because your dog died, that's completely understandable. But now it's up to you to salvage the dynamic, not me, as I already went out on a limb once. If you do that, then the first encounter would be water under the bridge and I wouldn't hold it against you.

Giving compassion is wonderful, but life is a lot better when you reserve most of it for people who will respond with compassion in kind, rather than milking it for their own benefit and giving nothing in return. Sticking up for yourself doesn't mean being transactional--it just means that you extend compassion to yourself as well as to others.
