My sister (age 67) was diagnosed with exactly this a year ago, except she's stage 4. She's on Alecensa (alectinib) and is doing well, all things considered. Her left lung doesn't work very well, but she's dealing with it. Her cancer isn't localized, so surgery isn't an option. She did have radiation therapy on one tumor.

Alecensa is freaking expensive. Even with Medicare, it's costing her about $10,000 a year in deductibles and copays.

I wish you all the best for your treatments.
> What does 'when the danger is over' mean in practice ?

That's an important question, and reasonable people can and should disagree on the exact answer. But the proper response is not to throw up our hands!

This question is not significantly more difficult than other questions that most legal systems routinely deal with, like "Precisely how clean does a restaurant kitchen need to be?" or "What exactly constitutes fraud/murder/etc.?" or "How exactly do we determine if a driver was under the influence of alcohol?" or "How educated and skilled must a surgeon be?"

These are all difficult questions with direct consequences on personal liberties, public health, etc. Many of them have fairly uncontroversial answers for a large portion of cases, but they also have tricky edge cases where reasonable people disagree. Legal systems ought to (and generally do) attempt to clearly codify things to handle the large portion of cases, while also having some process for resolving conflicts for the tricky edge cases.

It's simply not reasonable to imply that basic public health mandates in response to a pandemic is some new or uniquely difficult scenario for legal systems to face, and that because it's difficult, legal systems should do absolutely nothing whatsoever.
When I put government in scare-quotes, I was alluding to - quoting! - what this country's hard-right has always actually meant when they've used the word for said 70 years: they mean services! Human services, social services, the safety net, welfare assistance, and above all any shred of help for the poor, the uneducated, or the disabled.

Every American knows what the word means in the context of the project I'm talking about.

The expansion you're talking about is true, of course. It's just true of, say, the Pentagon, or the "intelligence community", or subsidies to [insert rapacious economic interest groups], or bailing out Wall Street, or the airlines, or the car companies, etc.

OTOH Pandas/Numpy are great for results. One pattern that I'm hoping to try is running heavy lifting in SQL, transfer results via Apache Arrow, and manipulate the result set in Python with aforesaid libraries.

I don't know enough about how Arrow handles streaming to understand how this would really work but it would break away from the single-threaded connectivity with expensive ser/deser databases have used since the days of Sybase Db-Library, the predecessor to ODBC. 36 years is probably long enough for that model.

Why would they repeat the US's mistakes immediately after watching it blow up on the US? People have agency and the response to a sudden theft by the government for being too successful would be to get the hell out of there as the US is no longer stable. The other subsidiaries wouldn't surrender ownership to a distant bandit government just like all of the other times it happened.

> Smoothness in the time direction is easier to achieve: the 1024 bins window can be advanced by arbitrarily small time steps.

It appears you're doing just that, but the time "width" is still readily apparent in many of the spectrograms, most obviously on the birdsong ones -- almost like a horizontal motion blur.

Would a deconvolution filter be able to meaningfully horizontally "deblur" the spectrograms? So the birdsongs didn't appear to be drawn with a wide-tip marker, but rather a ballpoint pen? So not just hi-res, but hi-focus.
What I remember of it was calling it the "china flu" was racist/xenophobic. Now, however, it's fine to call it the Brazilian Strain or the UK Strain or the South African Strain. None of any of this makes logical sense to me, tbh, beyond tribalism.

That link you posted is an example of the rewriting of history, because those policies were "forged under Obama" which the blaming of Trump for them, conveniently neglects to mention. Same for the cages, war mongering, and divisiveness in our society today.

You didn’t check out the app! There are no lightning channel establishment costs to the user (it’s submarine swaps, server side) The behavior is identical to cash app. It’s also all USD and there are no tax implications (explicitly mentioned in the app). It literally solves all of your concerns.

It’s indistinguishable from cash app to the user. Except that it works internationally and very low fees. It’s better solution than cash app but with crypto (abstracted from the user).

Vaccines are getting people to not get hospitalized anymore mostly, no matter the variant.

If you can't see that crypto only raised because of covid and things related to that, you should really check the timelines.

We've been through this story already in 2017, when stores tried to adopt crypto payments and it was unsuccessfull ( square, steam, woocommerce, ... ). It went from 20 k to ~4 k.

Nothing fundamentally changed, payments with crypto are practically zero offline and online.

Some people just have some percentage in it, because they think of it as value store.

And if digital currency would be adopted by countries, they are not going to take any of the excisting ones, but their own variant.

Change my mind with logic reasoning :), not emotionally because you want to protect your assets.

Can you be an EMT and spend a lot of time with your kids though? Startup founder is a particularly hairy role to solve this for, since it is self-directed, but in general this is a real problem that exists across our whole society. Jobs should be flexible enough for people to spend a lot of time with their kids--even high availability/stress jobs--because it is a huge benefit to society when kids are able to spend a lot of time with their parents. Especially at the beginning.
Nobody said acknowledging the virus was xenophobic, the problem was assuming that all east-Asian-looking people might have the virus and therefore you should avoid Chinatown.

Also one of Trump's first acts in office was to institute a pointless Muslim travel ban, so people can be forgiven if they thought this China ban was leveraging a convenient excuse to ban another group of ethnicities he didn't like.
I think that generally, you "get" more out of playing videogames than doomscrolling on Twitter, or mindlessly watching your YouTube recommendations. Can depend on the game for sure, but video games usually have some artistic merit and require your actual focus and attention, rather than allowing to be completely braindead. They might not be a "productive" use of your time, but at least it's more intellectually stimulating than some of the stuff we do online.

Although, if you're spending most of your time actually interacting with people, especially friends, then I think it's much less of a waste of your time.

React is very flexible and tries to avoid strong opinions, so the result is React devs have built up lots of their own opinions over the years. React code bases are almost always wildly different from each other, a blessing and a curse.

Can one live in Amsterdam on 42k Euros a year? Sounds ridiculously low.
500 km - that's cute. You certainly can't count on that range, so your actual usable range is well under 300 miles.

Except for sports/performance cars, I set 400 miles as an absolute floor for range, and have had some that could do a bit over 500 miles (800 km)at 85 mph Texas-and-surrounding-states highway speeds, w/o extra tanks. Oh, and I never worry about turning off the air conditioning, either.

FWIW, for years, I've often stopped at Collin Street Bakery in Waco on trips between Austin and Dallas/Fort Worth. It's the only supercharger between those cities, and the poor Tesla owners often have a very long wait just to plug in.

I was in and out for lunch, made a gas stop a bit down the road, and back cruising the interstate long before he could even get plugged in.

That (sterile and cold) tracks with my experience in the US as well. I rented in various buildings for 16+ years and never knew even one of my neighbors.

But a year ago I moved into a 4-unit condo building (with the small owner's association covering both my building and the building next door), and I already know everyone in both buildings. Not particularly well because of the pandemic, but I expect things to improve once things go back to normal.

I grew up in suburbia, and things were a bit better then. The houses in our development up until I was 12 were close enough to each other, and there were enough kids, that we'd hang out all the time and ride bikes between houses more or less unsupervised. I didn't know it at the time, but I bet my (stay-at-home) mom appreciated the break when my sister and I would randomly wander out and hang out at a friend's place for a while. (And vice versa with the friends' parents.) But even then, it was limited to two or three other households. After we moved to another state during my teenage years, we knew the neighbors, but weren't all that friendly with them; I think in the six years I lived there before college I went into one of their houses once.

I don't know what the solution is... in the US there is a lot of emphasis put on individuality and independence, and about parents providing for and bettering the lives of their nuclear family members. While that does have some positive effects, I think you end up with a lot less communal child-rearing, which IMO is definitely a negative.
Economy hasn't changed much for what matters. Real estate/land is still the dominant market.

Economics changed however. Land is no longer a factor of production like it used to in classical economics. Real estate market, despite its size and 99% people involved with 50% of their salary in it, is just an afterthough for a modern economist.
