> You're probably going to get downvoted for that, but I, too, find it ironic that someone in the CIA said this, given their history of funding several terrorist groups to help act as a insurgency to overthrow foreign governments not aligned with America.

It's only really ironic if you look at it shallowly (e.g. treating all "insurgencies" as equivalent). Obviously the CIA doesn't think about it that way, given how their job forces them to operate in a gray area.

If you want to play the childish “list off logical fallacies” game, the original post was an appeal to authority.

Depends what you are using your search engine for. Getting the actually most popular thing in the area where there's a lot of competition? They're good at that. But when trying to find some obscure string in a context it's just hopeless. They seemed to have completely given up on the idea of being able to somewhat grep through the web. I often won't get results for queries which DDG and Bing have pages for.

Which I don't get, they probably could afford to have even a completely separate backend for quoted strings and store way more data than DDG.

> The declaration claims that increased infection of those at lower risk would lead to a build-up of immunity in the population that would eventually also protect those at higher risk from the SARS-CoV-2 virus

We’ve seen what happens when the virus is allowed to run unchecked in populations. New variants start popping up that are resistant to the previous version. Further, this whole isolate those most likely to die doesn’t work. Due to things like... multigenerational households. Or people that don’t know they’re at risk etc.
So one way people lose my trust is to tell me to do useless things for my perceived psychological benefit.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-the-coronavirus-as-deadly-as...

> An epidemic seed on Jan. 1 implies that by March 9 about six million people in the U.S. would have been infected. As of March 23, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 499 Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. If our surmise of six million cases is accurate, that’s a mortality rate of 0.01%, assuming a two week lag between infection and death. This is one-tenth of the flu mortality rate of 0.1%. Such a low death rate would be cause for optimism.

A 0.01% mortality rate as asserted would mean 34k deaths in the USA. We're well over 10x that, and we're hardly finished yet.

In 2020, the Amazon Principal Engineer community added a ninth tenet. Much effort went into crafting the new tenet, as was the case with the others. The new tenet may be my favorite of them all.

LEAD WITH EMPATHY

Principal Engineers shape an inclusive engineering culture where others are heard, feel respected, and are empowered. We are conscious of how our words and demeanor impact others, especially those with less influence; we take responsibility for that impact, intentional or otherwise. Our work builds productive relationships across teams and disciplines, and across a wide range of life experiences.

> JSON.stringify on an undefined property removes that property.

Except, you can still differentiate between them:

> ({ foo: undefined }).hasOwnProperty('foo')
true
> ({ }).hasOwnProperty('foo')
false

So now you have two ways of specifying a missing property, instead of one. null vs. undefined is a really annoying language misfeature to me, especially with some of the other weird behaviors that it has:

> [].length
0
> [].map(v => 123)
[]
> [].map(v => 123).length
[]
> [undefined].length
1
> [undefined].map(v => 123)
[123]
> Array(1).length
1
> Array(1).map(v => 123)
[]
> Array(1).map(v => 123).length
1

If you need to remove a property from an object, just use delete obj.foo; instead of setting it to undefined.
3D NAND is successful and cost-effective because it's made by depositing dozens of layers at a time, then etching at the end of the process. Currently Samsung is in the lead by doing ~128L at a time. All their competitors reach 100+ layer counts by splitting the stack into two decks, eg. Micron's 176L NAND is 88+88.
>Our early guidance that masks don’t help (because we needed to save the real masks for healthcare workers)

I see this mentioned a lot, is this really a big factor? Did a ton of people genuinely begin the pandemic by believing officials and then after a few weeks start to disbelieve officials? That just doesn't make sense to me. I mostly see this issue used as a bad faith cudgel to justify not wearing a mask now, but someone acting in bad faith would have picked another excuse if it wasn't this one.
Ok, this is kind of fascinating. So interest is bad.

Why is SpaceX making the same mistakes 70 years later?
You are unfairly mis-representing the piece. They make a number of different calculations to estimate the IFR, based on observations available at the time. They then say the following:

> This does not make Covid-19 a nonissue. The daily reports from Italy and across the U.S. show real struggles and overwhelmed health systems. But a 20,000- or 40,000-death epidemic is a far less severe problem than one that kills two million. Given the enormous consequences of decisions around Covid-19 response, getting clear data to guide decisions now is critical. We don’t know the true infection rate in the U.S. Antibody testing of representative samples to measure disease prevalence (including the recovered) is crucial. Nearly every day a new lab gets approval for antibody testing, so population testing using this technology is now feasible.

> If we’re right about the limited scale of the epidemic, then measures focused on older populations and hospitals are sensible. Elective procedures will need to be rescheduled. Hospital resources will need to be reallocated to care for critically ill patients. Triage will need to improve. And policy makers will need to focus on reducing risks for older adults and people with underlying medical conditions.

> A universal quarantine may not be worth the costs it imposes on the economy, community and individual mental and physical health. We should undertake immediate steps to evaluate the empirical basis of the current lockdowns.

They're very clearly making point estimates to contrast with the prevalent IFR estimates of the time (~2%), which we now know were entirely wrong.
I'm the same way. My logic is: It may be very rare that it's a problem, but if it does happen that someone with the virus coughs on my groceries, mail, etc., then it's dangerous, even if it isn't a risk just due to them touching those things. I'd rather not take the risk.
I have a pair audio-technica headphones, using them regularly for about 12 years...

I have pair of Monsoon Speakers bought since College (2000), so that's over 20 years. They still work great, just an headjack input, volume/bass control. Simple and they are connected to my PS4.

I have a dell monitor, bought in 2006, still working great with my mac. I bought an LG 4k one last year, and the Thubderbolt port just failed. Right now it is staying as a dead weight, and I am deciding if it is even worth fixing (or it can be fixed).

Some accessories do last decades. Apple accessories are made to last for 2-3 years and discarded after as they are not easily serviceable.
From the Wikipedia link you posted:

> She is one of the primary authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, a widely-discredited paper[15] which advocated a focused response to the COVID-19 pandemic based on levels of individual risk.[16][17] The World Health Organization, as well as other numerous academic and public-health bodies, have stated that the strategy proposed by the Declaration is dangerous, unethical, and lacks a sound scientific basis.

Obviously not. If they just dumped a bunch of raw information on decision-makers, their output would probably be worse than useless. If I were a leader, I'd want to be provided with different opinions and options about a given situation, especially if I had to make a lot of decisions or make them quickly.
The History of Wallstreetbets
Blameless is often pointless because sometimes something about the person is the problem. If the project failed because Bob ran it and Bob is too risk averse, then you can't fix it without talking about Bob. Bob either needs to figure out how to be less risk averse (hard and time consuming journey) or Bob shouldn't run projects that require risk taking.

Doesn't mean Bob is bad or gets fired, but he is part of the picture.

The whole blameless thing is so weak - if there's something about you that caused the failure, don't you want to know?
Heard immunity. At this point. Seriously?
A strong argument against this is the potential to apply selective pressure for virus variants that escape antibody binding. After the first vaccine dose, antibody titer in the blood is lower than it would be after 2 doses. Some of the new variants are better at escaping antibody binding, but with high enough antibody titer in the blood, they can still be cleared. Using only 1 dose risks not having enough antibody to eliminate an antibody-escape mutant.
CNN carried an article yesterday where they interviewed two participants.

One was a college student, using student loan money to fund the stock purchases.

The other was a low wage-earner, using federal stimulus money.

My question: Why was CNN spinning the article this way? I'm cynical enough to suspect it was not a straight-up news story.
One thing I'm curious about is whether all this extra "deep cleaning" is going to have other negative health consequences. i.e. from increased indoor concentrations of the chemicals used to do the cleaning.
In Sweden people continually blow their nose by holding one nostril and blasting the mucus from the other straight out into the air. Joggers of both sexes (but mostly men) do this all the time, even with other people all around them on the street.

When I last got the subway an older guy did it on the platform, just before the train doors opened and the passengers walked out - presumably straight through the fine droplets hanging in the air.

No-one here seems to think this habit is strange, and those times I’ve said anything to the people doing it they are genuinely mystified by my complaint. Maybe this article should be more widely disseminated...
Not sure why you got downvoted. When talking about 'explode on the pad' it usually refers a rocket blowing up right when the engines lights up before it lifts off.

I picked up the 8 port version from Microtik and picked up a Mellanox ConnectX-2 of eBay which came with a pair of 10G SFP+ fiber modules. A 10 meter single mode LC fiber off Amazon was like $20.

As for the NAS, I snagged a Supermicro mini-ITX 8-core Xeon D (Broadwell era) board from eBay as well for like $400. It brings out the dual integrated 10G NICs on the Xeon D, a PCIe 3.0 x16 port, a 4 lane M.2 port, and 6x SATA ports, 4 slots for DDR4 ECC RDIMMs, and an ASPEED based IPMI.

They did NOT pioneer personalized recommendations. Believe me, I know, because out-of-the-blue I got a phone call from Jeff Bezos back in the day, who was interested in my pre-existing recommendation technology. They didn't have any. In the end they got it from a company called Net Perceptions. Eventually they built their own, but the technology was firmly established all over the place by then.

That was true as of January 2020, it is no longer true now. I don't know about Gupta, but both Bhattacharya and Kulldorff (and Ioannidis) are being hated by most of their colleagues at the moment.

I would even conjecture - in 10 years, if you are a recent PhD/fellow from one of those labs, you will have a very tough time in the job market.

Nailed it. Trust is everything. Part of trust is competence. Part of it is being a decent human. A big part is getting to know your coworkers and understanding what makes each other tick.

One of the biggest mistakes I made early in my career was thinking work was all about the work. It didn’t matter what people thought of me or what I thought of them. It matters a great deal. You don’t have to be friends with coworkers, and have drinks with all of them on Fridays, but you should generally respect the people you work with and they should respect you and that can take some effort and time, but it will pay off in the long run and you will like your job more.

Not to just reframe AnimalMuppet's point, but which of these two things is more likely?

1) Your couple hours of research has uncovered something blatantly obvious that was somehow missed by the other party.

2) Your couple hours of research hasn't shown you some edge case or something that is common knowledge once you've been in the field for 2+ decades.

I'm not saying #1 never happens, only that #2 is much more likely. It's a horses vs. zebras argument.
> (you trust that those around you have your best interests at heart)

So true - this tracks my experience exactly. What I find interesting is that sometimes high trust is necessary but not sufficient, and other times it's both necessary and sufficient, for great teams. I've never found a situation where a great team stays great (or arguably ever was in the first place) without high trust, though.
