So comparing young and middle aged (based on watwut's comment) it seems the IFR was 1% for swine flu and 1% (overall according to Fauci) for covid. Granted seasonal flu is about .1% (overall). So it seems like it could be similar for watwut's stated age groups, with some strains of flu being higher and most (likely) being lower. The real issues/ discrepancy emerge with the elderly.

I do see the wild differences in the estimates. This one is interesting.

The butcher and baker a) have to understand what it takes to produce quality meats and breads and b) stand face to face with the customer, so they have both professional and reputational stakes in the game. Their stakeholder brothers and sisters may or may not have the same knowledge or reputational risk, and so their self-interested measures may correlate more with what puts money in their pockets in the short term than what makes the business viable over the long term.

I was looking at a used car, and it changed price several times a week. You might also look at the experiences of used tesla buyers. The price isn't the only thing they've played with, they've been doing the same sorts of things with features and even warranty coverage, all of which have in general gotten worse.

I believe the only path to self-driving cars is through full-stack integration of hardware and software. Waymo doesn’t fit the bill and is progressing far too slowly, in my opinion. It’s more of a proof of concept than a serious effort. It’s great, but I don’t see a viable path forward for them that doesn’t involve their software and sensors on another manufacturer’s cars. Fine, but Google is allergic to anything not search related, and not with very good profit margins.

Way back when, my DiffEq prof did a Markov chain model to compute the probability of visiting each space on a Monopoly board. It shows exactly what you state. It's actually kind of a fun problem to think about. Sort of an early Markov-chain-101 homework-question-sized problem. The state transitions to Jail, and the resulting state transitions out of Jail, put a strong bias on visiting Orange. And then, yes, the development costs on that side of the board make the ROI attractive.
Also, a well-designed EV can park almost indefinitely with no maintenance, because the big battery keeps the 12V battery charged.

That doesn't work on a hybrid, because the big battery is often drained during normal operation, and you have to worry about the fuel going stale.

So I just hacked together an animated LED strip lamp on an Arduino. I didn't write any tests or setup production. What would you have done?

To me, "I write my first line of code as if it's going to be on production forever" means setting up a testing infrastructure, a reproducible build that can be automated, a CI that runs my tests. An auto-commit system where I can create a PR and submit it to the CI and if it passes it will automatically get merged to main, etc...

Instead of my lamp project taking 1-3 hrs it would have been a week of setting all this up before I was ready to write my first line of actual code.

Are you saying you'd actually take that week? Would you therefore never write something on shadertoy because it's missing all that infrastructure and you can't write code as if it's going to be in production forever?

That’d be fine, but it’s 400 miles between here and family with one charger 150 miles from here. I could make it there with any current Tesla, but not make it back to a charger. Could make it work renting an RV spot but that’s still a little inconvenient.
> So basically, California specifically forced them to create a special contract, different from the one they use everywhere else, that couldn't be discharged and then censured them for not clearly enough stating that the special California contract couldn't be discharged?

No, not at all.

They choose not to automatically discharge the California contracts after 60 months of deferment for low income (I believe as a backhanded protest against the fact that they got in trouble with ISAs in California, IIRC because there was no up-front pricing; the up-front statement that $30,000 is the price is specific to California.) They got in trouble for lying and saying the California contracts were “qualified education loans” under federal law, with the associated restrictive terms for discharge in bankruptcy.

Curious if you've actually looked into the reasons for choosing something besides Monero/Zcash

I'm in the cryptocurrency space though I don't know too much about privacy coins. However, I've seen some abstracts of studies auditing the true privacy of Monero. Specifically, it can de-anonymize users who make multiple transactions to the same recipient due to its design.

Now, I haven't personally looked into Mobilecoin deeply, and am highly skeptical at the moment. But I do think there's a valid reason to shy away from Monero based on the above, or due to it still being PoW (which is environmentally unsustainable). Signal does seem to care about privacy, and perhaps ethics to some degree. Whether or not it's "proven" (in the sense of having a large number of people using it) is quite meaningless. I really like that the CEO of Mobilecoin, who has been active in engaging with various communities, has been getting a ton of very rigorous questions here in HN, and I don't think his responses have been illuminating enough to instil trust. But I don't think it's fair to write it off as a good choice either. Presumably, Signal has access to information about Mobilecoin that we don't (which is a bad smell for a cryptocurrency, but I do hope the information about who owns how much Mobilecoin becomes public soon enough).

I'm also very interested in what the implications of Signal being a non-profit are here. Are they required to publish information about their dealings?
Hell, teaching me to code started too high-level, and I was an engineering student.

On review, I think I probably took too aggressive of a stance against the concept. If you look at my other comments in the thread, I made a lot of references to the fake "ladder of math", and I thought I detected a similar attitude in "teaching kids to code without using real code". I just don't think there's any benefit in the pedagogical method of "teaching by pruning away the actual realities of the subject", and I think that believing that method is useful leads to more dire consequences down the line.

I mean, if you want to teach a kid piano, you can just start teaching them piano once their fingers are nimble enough to act independently of each other. It's not particularly important to give them a "starter piano" with four keys, and it's more satisfying to bang away on the real one anyway.

It is virtually impossible to survive in the United States without employment.

I don’t think the “coercion” perspective is the most convincing argument, personally: but there really isn’t much of an alternative to employment. The fact that the US has starving children speaks to how little of a social safety net we actually have.

I guess while I wouldn’t personally use “coercion” in a debate about this stuff, it’s also somewhat of a reasonable argument when you consider the alternatives. It’s just very ... meta.
They are now getting into the density game in a lot of markets which is very exciting. For example they are putting Superchargers at every single rest stop in NJ along I-95 (I think its like 8 total in a couple hundred mile span). With the density you can really optimize your charging since charging is very very fast at a low state of charge.

Caches are fleeting. Databases are durable. This is one distinction. Caches return a value by association. Databases usually allow for range and aggregate operations on many values. This is another distinction.

Also, "no-SQL databases" is like "non-green colors"; it encompasses a much larger spectrum than it excludes. Putting graph databases, local KV stores, distributed KV stores, document stores, time-series stores, etc in the same basket just because they are not RDBMSes is not very productive.
Your analogy implies that inequality creates poverty or that there is some casual relationship. This is what many people intuitively believe. It is not true.

As a rule, when people try to remove inequality everybody gets poorer, not richer. Countries are more successful at reducing poverty when they focus on lifting all boats. India and China were communist countries in the mid 20th century. As a result of them abandoning that approach, we have seen the greatest poverty reduction in human history. Check the GINI coefficients of those countries, it isn't great. Ask Chinese/Indian citizens if they are wealthier now than 60 years ago and its not even a question.

What you're saying may be an important detail for car enthusiasts but that's mostly irrelevant given the context. From the business side of things what matters is that the Model 3 outsells all of its competitors at its price point.

If anything, the fact that a car that uses cheap plastic is outselling the car that doesn't use the cheap plastic at the same price is phenomenal.

The ban happened now because GKH got fed up with a different researcher from the same group who was submitting (qualitatively) bad patches and said that it looked like a continuation of the "Hypocrite Commits" work, which the kernel team strongly objects to.

Thus it's a relevant clarification that only small set of patches in 2020 belonged to that project, they did not continue it, and the recent patches are not related to it and are merely bad, not malicious. (Of course the student should have done a better job with that, but it's a categorical difference between him also trying to trick people vs merely messing up and getting in extra trouble because his advisor pissed off the kernel team earlier)
I agree, the current push for full EV was too soon. Even after extraordinary efforts like Tesla + Superchargers, the range and refill experience still isn't as good as ICE (range goes down with cold weather, and Superchargers still require 30-40 minutes). The battery tech right now is the perfect fit for PHEV. The EV transition should've been like this:

1. Government requires 50 mile range (about 20kwh battery) in all new cars. PHEV quickly becomes the default for all models (cars, SUV, trucks). Battery supply is less of an issue (A single 80kwh Tesla battery can be used in 4 PHEV cars).

2. DC fast charging (250kw) infrastructure is built in all cities. A small PHEV battery (20kwh) + DC fast charging means battery can be completely charged in minutes, as fast as filling up a gas tank. Maybe DC fast charging could even be built right next to the gas pumps (fill up gas and battery at the same time) This makes PHEV work for those without charging at home.

3. PHEV works fine in all weather. Battery range drops during winter? Just use some more gas, there's no range anxiety.

4. People get used to the feeling of driving in EV mode. And they notice how nice and quiet it is compared to when the ICE warms up. Also the environmental benefits.

5. Car manufacturers and battery companies get solid state batteries ready for mass production. Now is the time for 300 miles+ full EV cars. With solid state, no cold weather problems, much faster charge rate, no fire risk, no liquid cooling system, much higher durability. This is the battery tech that can fully replace ICE.

I'm sorry, do you feel I'm not being generous in my interpretation? I certainly feel you're not, is that not a guideline here?

>I can't believe I have to make this explicit, but ok.

You don't have to, you misunderstood me. If a contract is flawed, is there a result other than 'misleading'?

Do we expect all contracts to be flawless 100% of the time? Are all of the flaws deliberate?

What a great story. Thank you to share you experience. I wonder if (i) is not enforceable. That said, it is the legal equivalent of David and Goliath to win that case.

I agree: These kinds of clauses should not be allowed. I cannot imagine this same thing happens in EU with GPDR.
