“ Among those who were fully vaccinated, there were .04 infections per 1,000 person-days, meaning that among 1,000 persons there would be .04 infections in a day.

There were 0.19 infections per 1,000 person-days among those who had had one dose of the vaccine. In contrast, there were 1.38 infections per 1,000 person-days in unvaccinated people.”

> specifically did evaluate Crystal some time ago, having a set of properties that seemed to hit a sweet spot. I gave it a fair go working on several projects with some of the popular Crystal web frameworks. I went in with full enthusiasm. In the end, only the most basic framework, Kemal (Lightning Fast, Super Simple web framework. Inspired by Sinatra) was tolerable. Definitely not a Rails/Ruby replacement. After that, I favored Phoenix/Elixir for such projects.

Great! Glad you found something that worked out for you! I'm noticing you didn't bring up compilation time in your complaints about Crystal specifically, which seems like a worthwhile thing to point out given we're discussing Crystal compilation times.

Regardless, in the spirit of my other recent post, I'm glad you found a tool/language that you enjoy (Phoenix/Elixir)!
What I'm saying is, the human heartbeat looks very spiky when you sample it 250 times per second. When you collect data in minute-long periods though, it looks like a flat line.

We do not have daily, yearly or even decadal temperature data for the time period 15,000 BC the way we do for the modern day. There is a lot of historical variability that is not shown on the graph. That variability could easily reach today's levels or higher, for moments.

All those downvoting this really need to read their company’s employment manual.

An employee’s actions represents their employer’s actions. Not being an executive does not make your company any less liable and/or make you as an employee less liable for your actions as an employee (there is no question whether the actions discussed in this situation were considered to be in a personal capacity, since the author clearly states they leveraged Microsoft partnerships as well as Microsoft resources to pull this off).

All true but what matters to ICO investors is their buying price. For Ethereum for example, the ICO price was between 30 cents and 60 cents, depending on when they bought. At the bottom of the post-2017 bear market it was $82, and at this moment it's $2098.

The only way Ethereum ICO investors could have lost money is if they bought over 43 cents, and sold when it dipped down to that point several months after launch.

> Nuclear disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima are very small when you compare them to other industrial accidents, like chemical plants or oil/gas

Hmm, it's been 35 years and При́пʼять is still uninhabited—and, I think, uninhabitable—as part of the 2600-square-kilometer Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Which chemical-plant or oil/gas industrial accidents are you thinking of that have rendered 5000 square kilometers uninhabitable for 35 years, or rendered 2600 square kilometers uninhabitable for 70 years? I'm supposing that "very small when you compare" implies at least a factor of 2—more likely a factor of 10?

I can't even think of any major wars that have had such an effect, although it's easy to think of wars and accidents that have killed more people. Chernobyl killed 100 people more or less immediately and several thousand more people over the years. The Fukushima accident itself has only killed one person so far, but the evacuation (to keep people from being killed by radioactivity) killed 2200 more people.

On the afternoon that При́пʼять was evacuated in 01986, it was the ninth atomgrad; today there are 11 atomgrads in Russia (ЗАТО under the authority of Росатом), producing 20% of Russia's electricity. If we had five times as many atomgrads, or if we had as many atomgrads as we have sites of chemical plants, how many uninhabitable atomic Exclusion Zones would we have by now? Would it be more, or—thanks to the extra experience—fewer? Surely some would be smaller than Chernobyl's, some larger.

I think there probably would have been a few hundred thousand more people dead in such accidents, and a few dozen more radioactive nature preserves like the Chernobyl zone, before we figured it out, and that would have been better than the global-warming catastrophe we were on track for a decade ago. For better or worse, though, that wasn't the way things went. Instead now we have solar energy that's not just cheaper than nuclear but cheaper than coal.
I don't agree. My argument is not that developers shouldn't have opinions, or that developers shouldn't try to improve languages (in the ways any individual developer thinks any individual language should be improved). My gripe is more with those that feel it worthwhile to complain publicly about a language to those that enjoy it. There are more than enough languages to go around - if you're a person that dislikes the Go programming language, rather than trying to make Go enthusiasts agree with you, just go do something else (find a language that you actually do enjoy and build things with it).

If I talked about that I would write way more negatively. Olkiluoto 3 is such a shut show for instance.

> there is no real problem with it.

You need to keep it from polluting the environment like the ground water, which is very hard to do on a geological timescale. Containers can rust or get crushed by forces. Not even saline formations are safe from water entry.
Also you need to stop mishandling like dumping it in the Mediterranean like what happen end in Italy in the 80s.

> There is very little of such waste.

1 kg per capita per year like in France is not very little.
And they don’t have any permanent storage location for that.

> Nuclear disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima are very small when you compare them to other industrial accidents, like chemical plants or oil/gas.

Which industrial accident has turned multiple hundreds to thousands of square kilometers into exclusion zones for decades of not centuries?

And we have been lucky that those accidents happened in relatively uninhabited areas.

> Nuclear energy is much safer, in terms of deaths per kWh, than solar or wind energy.

That’s both wrong and irrelevant as lack of deaths are just one aspect of safety.

> All big countries where more nuclear energy will be most important in dropping the CO2 production already have nuclear weapons

The world is not just 8 countries. Especially Africa will play a huge role when its population will get wealthier and consume more.
TIL that "cretin" and "Cretan" aren't the same word. I guess I'm glad to know that the etymology is ableist instead of racist.
It really depends on what you are trading. For example the prototype of a "dumb" insider trade is getting OTM call options when you know a company is getting a blowout quarter. Large amounts of OTM options trading in a stock that rarely sees much options activity is quite noticeable. When the authorities notice those, they can (and do) find out who got into that position simply by calling all the registered brokers and asking them who did it. (With a court order if need be, because suspicious options activity just before large jumps in stock price is reasonable suspicion of insider trading)
Air gapped data stores sound useful for very common scenarios like: offline backups, non-anonymized PII, infrequently accessed bank records
Well, if we can, are we then now in a situation where the 'step' of 'cases' is no longer an integer sequence? That is to say, that the cases are fractional? Like, if middlecase is 0.5, then can we apply the middlecase operation again and get 0.25/0.75?

As applying cases is then just 'addition', then you can likely get the 'multiplication' and 'divisions' of the cases as applied. 'Exponentials' are just around the corner too.

Is that is the situation, that we can now get transcendental cases. The 'pi' case, or the 'e' case, pick your favorite transcendental.

More interestingly, you can then pull out the imaginary case, using Euler. e^(i*pi) = -1. Maybe that the lower-er case is just the 'e' case to the power of the 'pi' case times the 'i' case. Whatever those operations may mean.

Of course, one you're at the imaginary cases, you might as well step up into derivatives and integrals, it's just curiosity after all. Then you'll be doing partial derivatives and then Lagrangians.

Eigencase-ing comes next, and then Maxwell's equations in case format. 'Del'ing your cases should be a real trip.

After only a bit of puzzling, you're doing quantum mechanics operations with your cases, because why not?

Case-ing operations have a fruitful future for any mathematician, it seems.
Not that building a car is easy, but there are contract manufacturers that can build cars and even design cars for you. And they won't have quite as much of a conflict of interest, in that their business model isn't selling cars direct to consumers, which Waymo is explicitly trying to disrupt.

The koala cars may not have been successful but that was many years ago, years that could have been spent making something better.
Any time there’s a big swing the SEC requests data for transactions before and after.

I talked to someone who was working with BMW 5 years ago and they had a similar story- automotive companies hated Tesla because they all understood that one screw up on self driving probably meant he death of their brand in terms of safety and probably a massive set back for the entire industry.

Fun fact - if you don’t like Java erasing types by default, you can just pass them along manually yourself.

There’s a bunch of ways to do this, but I’ll just leave this one trick here.

Instead of:

List<Integer> x = new ArrayList<Integer>();

write this:

List<Integer> x = new ArrayList<Integer>(){};

Now you’ll be able to ask at runtime and determine it is a subclass of List<Integer>.

Because storage isn't tax credit incentivized, at least in the US. Coal still is. And FYI California will install 1.3GW of storage this year, and a storage tax credit is likely by end of this year. It's coming. Hopefully we find something more elegant or ways to recycle storage/battery materials.

> All is missing is the political will, not technology.

I hate this phrase and it is something both the "only renewables" and "only nuclear" camps make. Neither technology is developed enough to effectively take over the grid (plus one source is terrible for energy security, but renewables is a bit diversified, though you're arguing purely solar).

The technical problem here is that we do not yet have the battery technology to sustain the grid. These are not the same batteries that we have in our cellphones. You cannot quick discharge common lipo batteries without starting a fire. But including batteries completely changes the cost structure and environmental impact which is why many suggest baseload technologies like hydro (nuclear would fit in here as well but yes, it is costly). This also creates a drastically different cost function for places like the American Southwest vs the American Northeast.

There is missing political will, but there is also missing technology (and missing political will to fund the development of that technology).
I thought the title was a joke at first, like it's 1984 when you're banned, but if you're just suspended for a bit then it's 1983.
Not really. That would require Bloomberg to deliberately fabricate a false story so that someone could do insider trading based on it.
There is a pretty important difference though.

Vaccine is and should be a matter of personal/parent choice, because getting the vaccine is a per-person action and its benefits and risks concern only their health, not health of other people. The benefit/cost analysis is very different for different people, for some it is in favour of getting the vaccine, for some it is against. Vaccination program can and should respect individual peoples' wishes.

While building more nuclear energy is a strategic country-scale decision that cannot respect all people wishes, only the majority's.
After the last 4 years, who would even ask that?
The amount keeps going down. In 2012, you could make into the hundreds a day. In 2014, you could make over a grand or two grand a month. In 2016, $500 or so. Until you get to 2019 when the number became pretty low. And so on.

Also, if you can make a couple hundred a month. Then with just that info alone, there’s nothing but equivalent phones, an IP address, and bandwidth stopping you from doing that amount again.
VCs certainly have a role for high risk high reward investments. Equity is very expensive and if you can avoid giving it up, you should. Bank loans aren't an option for everyone but if both VCs and loans are on the table, you should pretty much always take the loan (unless it's personally collateralized).

I don't have any issue with the idea of VCs and generally I think they're better aligned than private equity. The big point is not to value smart vs dumb money. Just take the best deal and use the money you saved to hire someone. No amount of "smart" is worth even an extra 0.5% on the cap table. When comparing VCs, I'd like to safe vs dangerous instead. Does a VC have a reputation of creating problems for founders or giving them space even if things aren't going well? That's way more of a consideration than if a VC has better intros or a smarter team.
Waymo is little more than a Jurassic Park jeep ride. Only works on the tracks. Take a Waymo vehicle anywhere their engineering staff hasn't spent countless hours driving around back and forth with those ridiculous spinning lidar sensors and roof rack full of who-knows-what and see what's left of their 'self driving'.
The description of the mechanism is probably wrong, but the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America says it's probably safe.
I think nuclear is also the least disruptive, least ecological footprint of all technologies we have. The amount of Lithium mined, the production of solar panels, plus all the install locations. Solar might be cheaper, but overall it means we need to move and manufacture much much more stuff, and all of that requires energy and land use changes. In order to fully power our economies with solar, we need to gobble up even more land than we are already using. That literally means deforestation and destruction of other habitats for wildlife.

Nuclear is the lowest footprint, biggest-bang-for-the-buck technology.
Airtable is strongly typed in the fields of the tables, but the expression language is not. It is my conclusion based on researching Airtable, that the decision to have well typed tables is so that relational operations work nicely, and so that they can implement interfaces on top of these tables easily, such as calendars and work planning things etc. I don’t think that there is an underlying motivation to fix the ill-type code of the world, so to speak. Any non-trivial code work is done in JavaScript, anyway.

> What's not being said here is that for the trader to have timed his bets so precisely, the reporter would have had to tell him when the story was coming out.

Based on what are you speculating this? I just looked at the indictment, which is linked in the article. Page 8 shows that the timeline between the relevant inside activity and the article’s appearance in Bloomberg running to multiple weeks or even a month. More generally, I don’t see anything that would require an inside trader to know exactly when a news story on these kinds of topics is going to come out. If they know a stock is likely going way up SOMETIME in the near future, that is enough to conclude that the trade is a sure bet. So, no need for a specific tip (as to article timing) from the reporter, and therefore presumably no need for complicity by the reporter.

*I do not intend this comment to mean I believe the actual reporter actually was not complicit. I don’t know the facts of this case beyond what is stated in the story linked here.
Panasonic initially picked a teal LED for its notebook because it was really, really expensive back in nineties. Few percents of the laptop cost was that single power LED.

The legend is that they secured an exclusivity agreement with Nichia for that colour for some years, but the reality is much likelly be it just being expensive, and hard to source.
Depends. Are we talking battery needs for the Southwest? Yes. Other places that don't have a relatively constant solar output and more variable seasons? No. But this is one of the many reasons the situation is substantially more complicated than the general conversation.
