Well... the "other side" would oppose informing the populace that the equality dogma is false (or at least unproven), so it isn't just the far right that likes their myths.

Attemps to ban things that are false runs into the difficulty that you need to first determine what is false, which is hard to do if one of the answers might contradict an important value.

The claim made by the author is that IFR is 0.23, 500k are dead therefore 200m have had it.

On the other hand if IFR were 0.69 then the picture would be rather different - 73m. Some estimates (https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/207273/covid-19-deaths-infec...) put IFR as high as 1.79 which would mean 30m infected so far.

You can't reply to someone's comment on internet about "...could pick up Go in 5-10 minutes..." that seriously.

But couple of points about simplicity author missed out:

- deleting from slice is expensive so should be explicit. True that lack of user generics prevents people to write own generic function for that, but that's not the only thing that generics will inevitably bring – are we still talking about complexity?

- Go is still the easiest language to pick up and understand due to smaller basis in the feature vector space. That's what Go authors mean by orthogonality of features. The search for the solution is way more straightforward in Go space – and that's what we call a cognitive load.
And then, if I decide to contact that bakery, then I guess Facebook will mix the data that my closed contacts interacted and then myself, I assume so.

But if I don't interact...they can't (or rather they shouldn't). They state that you will never be contacted without you doing the first move, so even if all my closed contacts chat with the bakery Facebook will have 'this user is highly likely to contact this bakery' data, but can't do anything about that unless I personally contact myself, apparently.

Edit: nop, as their policy say: 'your contact list will never be shared with Facebook' so even if all my contacts chat with the bakery Facebook won't have the data 'this user is very likely to contact this bakery'.

Facebook can, of course, just 'ignore' their own policy and give this data to the bakery so that they contact me directly, but doing so will be a direct contact break. This is Facebook, it is not entirely impossible (unfortunately) but if they do it will be another scandal.

It's pretty hard to take anything Eric S Raymond says seriously, and pretty revolting to look at so many of the things he has said, and he's certainly not easy to work with, so why would you recommend his software?

As you surely know, Eric S Raymond has a long well documented track record of wildly inaccurate claims and outright racism and misogyny, and he regularly inflates and exaggerates his technical competency and achievements.

But it’s a reasonable one to ask, given recent evidence – notably, the unexpected success of my Patreon page. This is relevant because Patreon is mainly an arts-funding site – it’s clearly not designed for or by techies.
The argument: In large part because natural immunity from prior infection is far more common than can be measured by testing. Testing has been capturing only from 10% to 25% of infections, depending on when during the pandemic someone got the virus. Applying a time-weighted case capture average of 1 in 6.5 to the cumulative 28 million confirmed cases would mean about 55% of Americans have natural immunity.

That's far higher than what the CDC measures. They have actual data on whether people show antibodies.[1] Their main data source is from random blood samples processed by commercial labs where the samples were taken for some other purpose. The trouble is, the blood lab data runs way behind; the latest data is about 60 days old. But that's what to watch. It's annoying that so little current data is available on this. Anyway, as of late December, those numbers are from 3% (Hawaii) to 23% (North Dakota).

Blood samples are also taken from blood donations. If you donate blood, you get an COVID-19 antibody test done on it, and the Red Cross will tell you the results. (Yes, there's an app for that.) Those provide a crosscheck. People who have blood drawn for medical purposes tend to be sicker than average, and blood donors tend to be less sick than average. So one would expect the value for a whole population to be somewhere above the blood donor rate and below the medical sample rate.

Kansas is seeing 22% of blood donors showing antibodies, as of mid-January. Note that this includes people who have been vaccinated, which, for Kansas, is about 8%. That compares to 12% showing antibodies in lab samples as of mid-December, which was pre-vaccine. I haven't been able to find data from other states. Anyone finding that?

There are a number of approved blood-based antibody tests, and they have sensitivity levels from 89% to 99%. So test error isn't a big contributor to error.

So, while the measured values are moving up, nothing as high as 55% is showing up in the actual data yet. More current data would be a big help. Perhaps the data collection and publication will be improved under the new administration. Anyway, looking at the actuals is more useful than trying to project this from a measurement of something else.

“Hotel” is where you’re going wrong.

Airbnb style accommodation works nicely for setting up shop in the Caribbean for the winter, and working means you can afford to grab an entire apartment that’s set up however you like.

“Hotel” also doesn’t really describe the places you stay when dirtbagging across Southeast Asia or similar. You can negotiate a long stay rate for a beach bungalow that either has a comfy table on the balcony or a chill shady bar with power and WiFi and a pleasant vibe during the day.

I used to travel most of the year every year, and very seldom resorted to staying in places that resemble western business hotels (or, heaven forbid, a “Resort”.)

When you say "the vaccine was done in May" do you include building the manufacturing system that would create it and put it into a supply chain? This is a physical thing, not a website, scaling a website to cope with 100m requests is helluva job - scaling a physical product to 100m items is much, much, much harder. Especially when it is a medical product.

I think you have forgotten this small detail.

Another detail : yes we found that ventilators were harmful, but we also found that other forms of assisted breathing like high nasal flow oxygen were effective. Additionally we found that giving steroids was effective. There are other treatments coming online now in addition to this - so when we look at delaying the pandemic and the benefit there of we need to understand that the survival rate for patients has improved over that time.

You seem to have forgotten this small detail.

When we talk about this as a natural process in a population and allowing it to happen the people it happens to in the summer rather than the winter live 6 months less. They may have written a book or a play or helped their grandchildren become the people they need to be in that time span.

I'll give you a concrete example from the world of finance. In options there are two main forms of exercise. You can have options which can be exercised at expiry and options that can be exercised at any point.[1] When the economist Paul Samuelson started to work on Wall street he was told that he would never truly be able to understand options because he was American and therefore the maths would be too complicated for his mind[2]. So when he came up with the first pricing model that could handle warrants that exercise at any point he named the simple case (at expiry) "European" and the complex case "American" as a dig at his detractors. For that reason to this day we have European and American styles of option exercise.[3]

[1]You can also have options that can be exercised on a given set of dates which are sort of a half-way house but that is a more exotic and recent phenomenon. It is called "Bermudan" because Bermuda is in the ocean between Europe and America.

[2]When I worked in finance (2000-2008) some of this bias still existed. Our swaps desk was almost entirely French.

I'm no type theory expert, but if you can describe natural numbers as:

Even (n: Natural) | n % 2 == 0

Then what's stopping you from doing:

Undecidable _ | loop {}

I'm not sure, but I think that's because strict dependent language systems like Pie (similar to CoC) use induction over the structure of a type for decidability. If I had 'the little typer' on hand, I'd elaborate more on this point. I think there's some relation between undecidability and the type Absurd, but I'd have to look into it more.
I’m not disagreeing with your first point, but the fact is exactly what you said: it’s unknowable until after the collapse if it was the case. One day we will know if that’s true for the current regime. I do think the odds of it being both sustainable and not all-consuming are low, however.

Seems to me there are a lot of different types of collections which all have a delete operation. Feels like go forcing you to hand roll a delete forces you to violate the principal that a bit of code should care as little as possible about things it's not about.

If code breaks because list is now a hashmap, that seems like an anti-feature.

What you are arguing for is not democracy but "safetyism". You seek a shortcut whereby you can persuade a powerful gatekeeper to silence your oppositon and make you feel better.

> and comes from a marxian historical analysis

I doubt that. Marxism is essentially a modified labor theory of value, in the line of Smith and Ricardo. It says the source of value lies in the productive output of the working classes. It would make no sense, from a labor theory of value, to pinpoint the source of innovation at the capital owners, so I would be very surprised if you were able to provide a source for that claim.
> Perhaps part of it is the languages we are comparing to? I'm comparing to languages such as rust and scala, and to some extent python and ruby.

I think you should compare to languages that have a similar purpose / area of usage. In my experience that is C++ and mostly Java. I wouldn't dare compare dynamically typed and interpreted languages with Go.. what's the point? I don't have much experience with Rust so I cannot compare it and additionally it's rarely used in companies. Scala I just don't like personally. For my taste it just "is too much of everything".

> ... err != nil ...

In the beginning I was thinking the same. Over time I got used to it. When I write it I use a snippet. And clearly reading the flow of the error has been beneficial to me a lot of times. Yes it is verbose.

> uh, you can have deep inheritance trees in Go, and not have them in Java or C++, I'm not sure what your point is.

I am sure you know that there is no inheritance in Go so I am not totally sure what you are getting at. My point is that I think OOP by composition is a lot clearer than by inheritance. Also composition is not overused in Go as say inheritance is overused in Java.

Seriously, have you ever seen a rebrand negatively affect a product? Rebrands have to be thought about retrospectively: you need to think whether it would make sense to go from the new to the old. Number26 for example rebranded to N26 and in retrospect it was an utterly obvious move.

Wise to Transferwise would make no sense especially if they are positioning themselves as more than a PayPal alternative. So this is a good rebrand.
