These are a couple of modest sized studies that focus on statistical analysis. Their relatively small size and lack of uniform criteria for determining COVID-19 severity and relation to mortality are a couple of the more obvious problems.

This result is in stark contrast to what has been put forward by a group of around 200 prominent scientists at vitamindforall.org who site a large number of prominent studies that show dramatic correlation between low vitamin D levels and health problems especially immune system dysfunction.
And yes let's make TTL computers too because we're not about to run out of space.

The density is good because it's valuable to be near other things, and density is the only thing that allows more proximity?

Maybe it would help to realize Japan, Korea, and California are all mountainous and prosperous. Mountains helped force good land use (though lately stupidity in California has been beating it).
If the poor get their basic needs and entertainment (bread and circuses, as the Romans said) then that's generally sufficient to prevent revolutions. And western societies in general are so wealthy that people can stay (or become) relatively very poor while still getting enough so that they won't really risk their lives in a revolt. They'll complain and protest, sure, but it takes a literal threat to their lives because of hunger or violence to spark a proper revolt. The bottom decile of americans are nowhere near as poor as the poverty that sparked, for example, the Arab Spring revolutions, and very likely (and hopefully) never will be.
Nice. Great data. We need to hold them accountable, but with so much other stuff on fire in the country (US, at least), it is hard to focus attention.

100% agree with the writer. My daughter has been homeschooling and Google Classroom is the platform they are using, of which Meet is the video delivery part.

The main things I've seen:

1. The age range of users is 5 years and older.

2. Parts of the UI is on a panel that is overlaid on the presenters video feed. This panel appears and disappears based on mouse input over the main presenter area.
If a child needs to 'raise hand' or 'mute/unmute' they need to mouse the mouse then Mose the mouse to the correct button and click it.

3. The layout of the video feeds on the right of it could be better also.

4. There are no shortcuts attached to the raise/lower hand button.

Watching and helping my daughter has been an eye-opening experience.
It must be so difficult for people with mobility issues to use these tools...
Interesting idea. It's just cost I reckon. Microwaves and ovens are relatively cheap, and yet still have massive markup.

Thermal imaging at the level you'd want for this (you don't want to just read a hotspot and declare it hot enough) is more expensive than many microwaves.

For an industry or science experiment which needs a large burst of power - big enough that the electricity grid can't normally supply it - you'd usually have a large bank of capacitors. You charge those capacitors slowly over time and then discharge all the energy you stored in them quickly.

Alternatively, you can tell the grid operator that you're about to draw more power (probably paying them for the privilege), and they can in turn pay some standby generation to turn on at the same time.

I don't know whether the Large Hadron Collider needs this.

Other than that, electricity is electricity for the most part. It's all run through transformers to have the same voltage and frequency.

Some generation sources are also good because you can turn them on and off quickly (dispatchability), or because they help to keep the grid A.C. frequency and voltage stable. Batteries are also great for both of these. Usually the grid operator pays some generators to provide these services.

Cloudflare is one of the cloud companies that continues to keep on impressing me.

I’ve built a few rate limiters in my career but if someone asked me how to build a rate limiter at internet scale, I would have to think hard.

Their solution seems simple and intuitive once you read about it, but I bet they’ve spent weeks thinking about different designs and their tradeoffs.

That’s what I love about Engineering. Some problems make you and your team think hard for weeks. Designing many solutions on paper (or prototyping them) and creatively destroying them until you get one that has a good balance of tradeoffs.

Not the most egregious but three examples:

If you're using CarPlay, there is a phone call and you pick up, CarPlay changes the entire screen to the phone call (which is just the profile pic of the person you're talking to), even if you're using Maps or anything else.

Everything has a different way to be closed or go back to the previous screen. Sometimes you swipe up, sometimes to the left, sometimes there is a back arrow in the top left, sometimes there is a X in the top right. When to do what is often not clear, and there is no universal "go back" action that seems to work either.

Swapping application context goes by "last touched", and it's easy to get lost when swapping left/right and trying to look/copy/scroll from many apps.
How do surgical face masks affect functional MRI measurements?
That's part of the sync step. Basically it stores the "current" state and will mirror that to all devices.

I would class a backup differently. Say someone grabs your phone and deletes your conversations (or you accidentally swipe the wrong way). How do you get those back? Because the sync service immediately removes them from all devices with no way to roll that back.

A bit of a tangential point, but most systems ain't smart enough to know that foo@example.com and foo+bar@example.com are aliases of one another. Handy trick for keeping spam isolated; if you start getting unsolicited marketing emails from foo+tmobile@example.com, then it strongly suggests who was naughty with your personal info :)

It seems most commenters here think that the results can be explained by bias (e.g. on the part of teachers), or cultural factors / environment (e.g. schools are set up for women to do better), or personality differences (e.g. girls are more obedient etc), and so on. But isn't the most straightforward explanation that women are simpler smarter than men on average?
We are mostly not indexing on a journal-by-journal basis, but try to import from large, broad sources. For example, DOI registrars (Crossref, Datacite, J-Stage), DOAJ article and journal metadata (for OA publications), etc. Some field-specific indexes we have imported from include JSTOR early journals subset, PubMed, and dblp.

Some fields/disciplines are probably still systemically under-represented. For example, I bet we are missing a bunch of scholarship on art and history published before 1980. We have a couple ideas up our sleeves which we hope will help with "completeness" across more disciplines.

The author is ranting that he doesn’t know how 2-way syncing works, I for once would be pissed if I deleted a message on my iPhone and its still on my iPad/macbook.

Modern finance is a process of constantly repackaging and reselling risk from people in a better position to evaluate that risk to people in a worse position to evaluate that risk. Finally, after a dozen generations when it arrives at the people least able to evaluate the risk, it crashes to zero, followed by sympathy to the poor suckers (like your local school district) and a bailout.

Hertz just cut out the middle men here and sold directly to suckers, maybe a lot of their executives were also creditors.

If you're an engineer and you know the implications of a "2-way sync" then yes. But most people using iPhone are not, so what happens when something is on/off has to be extremely clear and intuitive.
> You’d have no sense of time, no sense of delay, no sense of conversational flurry, etc.

Wonder if there's an opportunity for a new UI pattern here, that would make the sense of time explicit. I imagine it could be as simple as a visual separator between the messages, that scaled with the difference between messages. Perhaps with logarithm of the difference, to dampen large differences. Right now all we get are capped timestamps. But what if we could get something like:

20:01 Hey there?

Hi! How are you? 20:10
20:10 Fine, thanks, getting ready for

Great question, but I'll answer a slightly different question.

> If and when we have a globalized monetary policy, how do we run it without burning more energy than entire countries?

1. You could get all entities governing the market / governing the globalized monetary policy to perfectly trust each other. Seems impossible given the Prisoner's Dilemma is exponentially more difficult to solve as the number of actors grows.

2. It is outside my domain of expertise to know how we can make a trust-less ledger efficient to run. The engineers behind ETH and Nano seem to believe it is possible.

However, given 1. is an impossible problem, and every unique entity that governs the globalized monetary policy will be competing with each other for control. They will all compete in an arms race to control as many crypto nodes as possible (i.e. a war of energy production).

It seems like the amount of energy needed will always be larger than most countries use because otherwise any one country can spin up a 51% attack very easily.

This doesn't mean crypto energy consumption will spiral to infinite as the world's super powers compete. Because, the world's super powers already have to worry about "mutually assured destruction" and as such can "trust" each other not to trigger a 51% attack because that would be treated as a global signal to launch nukes[0].

And like nuclear de-armament, there will likely be a push for the super powers to consume less energy while protecting against a 51% attack. There will be some interesting equilibrium. My guess is the equilibrium will probably be around the energy consumption of the p99 country sorted by energy consumption.

[0] I've never thought about this before, but a 51% attack could be an automated signal to launch nukes. I hope no country removes the humans from the launch process.
I think the trade off here is that if you don’t put the end meeting button there, users will get frustrated because they can’t find the end meeting button.
Crime is arbitrarily defined. For example, in the UAE, possessing porn is a crime; would you want to go to jail if the authorities found an explicit picture on your phone?

Also, LEA and govts routinely abuse their powers in the name of fighting "crime" or "terrorism" or whatever is the newest thing they can scare people with. It is only reasonable to assume malintent in their propaganda.
I think the authors point is that iCloud is many things. It's for backups AND for 2-way sync, and when you have what activated, and their connection, is not absolutely clear for the average user.

Data Engineering 101: Writing Your First Pipeline
Not sure where you are. The example I gave was in Germany as mentioned. Where's yours?

I guess it depends on how you calculate as well:

My calculation was a simple 75EUR per hour * 40 hours per week * 52 weeks a year to arrive at 156k.

We could also go with 75EUR per hour * 8 hours a day * 255 business days in 2021 (I chose Hesse as the state as that's where Frankfurt is located, home to lots of banks and such, i.e. lots of contracting). That's 153k.

Since you're a contractor, choose how many weeks of vacation you wanna give yourself and subtract.

If you as a contractor get only 30k before taxes, then something is seriously wrong. I worked for a contracting company back when and that's what the rates are based on. I was an internal employee for them and I got paid more than the 30k you quote. I doubt an actual external contractor that we just placed would get less or just on par of what us employees got. That would not make any financial sense, as they would have to pay their own taxes, insurance etc. from it, while we don't.
You have created a strawman argument... This has nothing to do with standardized testing or "state of the art", it's about learning.

There are many situations where there are multiple approaches to a problem and none of them are more "correct" than the other ones.

> but "recommened" approach needs 3min in order to get this done, meanwhile your's solution needs 15min

The point is that what if the recommended approach takes someone 15min, and a different approach that they understand better takes 3min.

I don't really know what to say about it, but I just wanted to point out how we use both "opaque" and "transparent" in the way the author uses "opaque" here. I know this isn't unique (i.e. "I'm up for X" or "I'm down for X") but this particular instance is, for me and by far, the most confusing.

To us, whale was just a quirky suggestion that one of our users made to describe themselves as a power-user, and had zero intention of being derogatory. In retrospect, we should've given this more thought before publishing - "not thinking" is certainly no excuse.

After a quick discussion within our team, we've pre-emptively changed this to "Pro" while think of a better title.

Thanks for speaking up, comments like this make Singlelink better for everyone! :)
I genuinely wonder what makes you say it's dangerous, let alone "obviously dangerous". I'm sure you've seen people cite the statistics about safe energy sources. What makes you think those are all wrong to the point that it's obvious?

You can't just put that at number 1 and then ignore it in the rest of the comment. It would be a big revelation and we need to update books if you know something about nuclear fission accidents that others don't.
Their risk isn't zero but even the 60s the inventor of PWR said this was not very safe design and designing inherent safely systems are far better.

Of course you never have zero risk. That literally impossible and not a standard you would use for literally anything else in human existence.

The fact is, you can design nuclear power plants that are so safe that the chain of events you had to come up with to get any radiation outside of the reactor safety boundary is so ridiculous that the probability of them happening is barley measurable.

Sure if you have human error and 3 black swan events on the same day, the risk is not zero.

But even if you come up with these crazy events the damage from those events would be a far smaller then Chernobyl and Chernobyl was also far less damaging then in popular imagination.

The risk that somebody dies during the construction of the reactor confinement building is probably 100000x higher, but nobody seeks to prevent ever building large structures.

> Chernobyl operators thought their reactor design had zero risk of exploding, current reactors are much safer but I'm pretty sure the risk isn't zero.

This is where we are with nuclear. Any debate goes back to Chernobyl. Again, in no other area do we go and say 'well the soviet thought this in the 60s so therefore we can never moved past it'.

There is fundamental physics and chemistry involved and just because some soviet operators didn't know that does mean its unknowable.

Humanity should be living in the nuclear age. Climate change would not even be a thing if everybody had done what the French have done in the 70s. And we would be much better in terms of space exploration if the whole world were not so reluctant about using anything nuclear.
> Bringing up the cost of a nuclear disaster

Also...how about oil spills? How much money, adjusted for inflation over time, have we dumped into cleaning that shit up over and over? And speaking of costs, what's the cost of entire cities being underwater in a decade or two?

Ok, so solar and wind are great, but now you're building massive batteries to store the energy at night. That's expensive, no?

Pound for pound, nuclear seems like the most effective option we have at the moment. If fossil fuels were priced according to how much damage they are actually causing the planet, nuclear would seem pretty cheap too. The only reason nuclear even seems remotely expensive is because we're (stupidly) letting markets dictate the price of fossil fuels.
Social media is not a news source, it's a pit of misery and sadness. Of all of them, I only find some redeeming value in Instagram as it seems by default to give you something positive.
