I think it simply accelerates whatever is going on. In Turkey, for the first time in it’s history, the sale of Alcoholic drinks was banned. It was always the conspiracy theory that the islamist will ban alcohol and impose their way of life on every one, however until now all their actions were justified somehow.

First time ever in 20 years of Erdogan’s reign, there’s an opposition for banning alcohol sales.

However I want to emphasize that it’s not the Covid-19 started the restrictions.

First was gone the sale of alcohol in train restaurants. Then the they restricted the hours to sell in shops, they said somewhere in Europe there are similar restrictions so don’t worry. Step by step more and more restrictions came into play. Too close to school, too close to a mosque etc. etc.

The risks of having your freedoms taken don’t come from the covid-19 measures.

Events like these are just catalyst. Think how many freedoms were lost after 9/11.

Unfortunately stuff that you can’t ignore happens, then you have to react and when you react people with their own agenda also react. It’s a dynamic system.
Thank you, I will look into this. I've taken discrete math and some graph theory, but never stats, so all those families of distributions are alien to me :)
Probably not. If all countries had in the beginning the same amount of travelers coming from the origin point THEN you could directly attribute case/death counts to safety measures. Some countries dodged the wave and take credit for their mandates, others didnt lock down and also dodged the wave(thus erroneously giving people confidence that doing nothing works). Even within large countries there are regional differences. For example the earlier cases of covid were appearing on the west coast, but New York got hit the hardest before either side took any particular action. Could it be because it was a busier travel nexus?

We shouldn't berate ourselves for not performing the same way island nations in the southern pacific ocean did.

> if B.1.1.7 is less lethal, why would the transmissibility play in?

Transmissibility, viral load and virulence should all be correlated.

Alizon, S., Hurford, A., Mideo, N. and Van Baalen, M. (2009). Virulence evolution and the trade-off hypothesis: history, current state of affairs and the future. Journal of Evolutionary Biology 22, 245–259.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1420-9101...

When you read stories that a particular variant increases one or two of those three and not the other, you should treat it skeptically. All three should tend to move together.

B.1.1.7 is most likely more lethal, any studies contradicting that are probably not picking appropriate controls to compare against (e.g. the most vulnerable sub-populations of demographic slices having been already hit by old school D614G, so lethality appearing to fall no matter what).

A government having the power to decide and enforce public policy doesn't make it a dictatorship, it makes it powerful.
Kids are a distraction to intense work. At the same time, becoming a parent is a potential growth experience that is unrivaled and brings value. Healthy kids are a value to society. Non-parents benefit from a society full of healthy children. Parents should be rewarded--or at least equally as compensated--with pay and/or status that tracks with the successes those unburdened with parenting achieve.

From what I’ve read both are options. There’s benefits to getting the immune system to target cancerous cells
Such as ongoing protection. Directly killing the cells is a good way to reduce tumor mass by direct injection however. The first t-cell immune treatments almost killed the patients due to liver/kidney overload from cellular debris as the immune system reacted too strongly, so being able to in cull tumor mass in a controlled fashion likely has merit as well. Either way the “detection method” would need to be very well tested and robust I imagine. Though the first treatments could be for “last chance” treatments that’d enable testing the safety of the particular detection method.
Got to admit that I only looked at the diagram in the repo and instantly closed it.

I agree, to an extent, with your comment. But having sortable/chronological IDs on a single column is a really nice feature to have.

Obviously, if you rely on the IDs to be unguessable/brute-forceable as part of your access control, then it is certainly bad to use such IDs. But I have not yet seen a case where I need both sortable and secure IDs. Being collision-free is what we want in a database context, and if it can hold some more information for the order, all the better.

I always assumed everyone is behind NAT, you're saying on 10 to 20% of people are, and therefore only they need TURN. I'd love to see where you got that number.

If I were to guess, the problem GP is facing is bandwidth, a mesh network uses exponentially more bandwidth. For each user, the bandwidth is linear, N more people requires N more bandwidth. This is fine for downloads, but uploading N more can be much more challenging for certain networks.

It doesn't seem like he's invested in any crypto directly. He has investments in some fintech, but as far as I can tell those aren't in any companies where crypto is the main component of their business plan. It's also important to distinguish between his opinions on the potential of distribute ledger technology vs. crypto currencies themselves. You can have the first without the second.

There are also levels of conservatism: Buffet still takes risks. In any given year, there's a possibility that he loses money, even if he's amazing in the long term. This is very far from the extreme end of conservative investing where, for example, someone 2-3 years away from retirement shifts all of their investments into a low-yield guaranteed return investment to ensure that a temporary downturn in the economy doesn't wreck their ability to retire.

Bay Photo (https://www.bayphoto.com/) is where I go for sizes larger than I can print on my own. They've never let me down, and while their prices are significant for larger formats, they're not out of line with what I've seen from other shops. Good, fast shipping, too.

They do print on aluminum, similar to the described style - it's definitely not "dibond" in that there's no backing aluminum layer and by default (at least) no foamcore backing, but I've honestly never felt the lack. That said, when I hang prints, I hang them framed, so maybe it's a treatment designed for display on its own; when I do get aluminum prints from Bay Photo, they're generally one-offs of signs or other oddball stuff, so I don't really worry about fine-art presentation on those.
The thing is, before you have kids, which no one AFAIK ever tells you, is you completely take for granted the mental "downtime" of not having to worry about another human being's safety and emotional health (e.g., your example to whit, you're just "sitting" at the game, but do you think your son would really like if you opened up your laptop and totally ignored him for 2 hours?). And the "emotional labor" isn't so much what you're _doing_ for your kid as much as being on constant mental alert yourself. Every minute that your kids are not asleep, you're keeping a spare eye and ear and the attendant mental energy on making sure they're reasonably safe and okay, and that's damn exhausting - even when they're sleeping, you can't go down as soundly, because they might wake up and need you. And those subconscious mental cycles you use to work on problems, the lack of time you just "sit down" when you wake up in the morning or finish breakfast or get home from work to decompress - not to mention the sleep deprivation - REALLY add up.

> Like, if that's how you feel then why did you have kids?

This is something I've tried to explain to non-parents many times. One of the fundamental weird asymmetries of parenting is the negatives are visible and the positives are hidden.

Visualize someone cleaning a blown-out diaper with shit everywhere and that's pretty obviously a bad experience. Likewise a toddler screaming in their parents' face in a crowded restaurant.

Now visualize a parent looking at their kid while their kid sits there reading a book or sleeps in bed. Boring. But what you don't see is what's going on inside that parent. How incredibly proud they feel to have created a little world around their kid where they feel safe and secure. How amazingly gratifying it is to watch their little one learn skills and grow. Just the immense conduit of love flowing between them.

You can't really see it, but it's all there and the parents all know its there.

> I see complaining for the sake of complaining as a negative-utility activity.

The opposite is true. There is little cause to talk about positive things because they aren't actionable. If you're happy, you don't want to change anything. Talking about negatives is useful because they represent problems that others may be able to help you solve.

Consider a code review: you mostly comment on the code that has something wrong with it.
As if there were not clear, published guidelines for such things. In about 6.8 seconds I found this page for my own U. S. county to get you started:

https://kingcounty.gov/depts/health/covid-19/data/key-indica...

That's just one page of many on that site, for just one county out of however many counties there are in the U. S. So I believe it unnecessary to act as if there are not easily-accessed answers to your questions.

The ruling party In Singapore has been in power since 1959, making it effectively a one party state. It may not be as authoritarian as some other countries, but the claim that it's a dictatorship is not as outrageous as you make it out to be.
Indeed. I don’t think it really helps women in the workplace if we just go along with the assumption that men are more work focussed and women more family focussed.
One missing question in this is, if the US was so bad, why is the death rate in the US inline with other large countries?

Virtually all the large developed countries are 160/100K deaths/capita +-25%.

Any analysis of the US response must also look at other countries, and compare.
Familiar. I think the biggest issue is understanding workflow. My hunch is that some developers view a data analysis project as a program... it needs to have these data processing steps performed, summarized in this certain way, and saved off in that certain format. Once those queries are defined, the program is ran and the analysis done.

The actual work the analyst is doing is far more ad-hoc than that. It's iterative and frequently will get torn down, rebuilt, and joined to other sources, as they discover new aspects to the data. They need their hands on the raw data, not on a specifically summarized version of it.
This is not gossip. It's about as official as you can get.
Some time ago I did purchase a lockpick kit to play around with ot for a bit. The tools in the video seem to be a useful help for beginners,but ultimately they need to develop that intimate feel of where exactly the tool is in the lock and what's going on there. Slight slips, movements,and other indicators are very important to the over success of lockpicking.

Or maybe, just maybe, the news doesn't typically report on standard USPS actions, but chose to latch on to these specific actions due to the timing causing people to jump to conclusions and therefore click on the link.

Have you ever heard of equipment changes at the USPS in the past? Probably not. Do you think they never changed USPS equipment in previous years, under different presidents?

I've voted blue my whole life, but that doesn't mean I'm going to remain silent while dumb conspiracy theories with no evidence are weaponized to drive voter turnout. There are real world consequences to weaponizing misinformation, including the undermining of trust in systems of government.

Every serious bit of attention to these kinds of stories further bolsters the notion that conspiracies in government are routine, and feeds right wing extremists just as much as (if not more) than left-wing extremists.

Any time you find yourself "mind reading" people, assuming that "it couldn't just be a coincidence" you should ask yourself if you are being manipulated by weaponized propaganda.

And as a lifelong Democrat who has taught workshops to journalists at the Center for American Progress in the past, I think a huge issue for the future of the party is that fact that most of the corporate media has followed the Fox News confirmation bias monetization strategy, but chosen to target the left. The DeJoy story, like Benghazi on the right, has elements of truth mixed in with pure speculation, and is primarily narrative built on narrative built on narrative with kernels of actual truth scattered here and there. You end up getting silly things like pictures from hyper blue states like NJ and CA with Twitter addicts claiming that the truck hauling mailboxes from Encinitas to Riverside is "rigging the election." It's just plain silly paranoia.
Oh oh oh I was never intending to imply war and danger makes people "better" at all. As subjective as that is. My argument was directly relating to existential threats posed by disease and how removed those born in the past 60 years are from those dangers. This has undoubtedly changed our risk tolerance _for disease_ and arguably (and I don't have the answer at all) for other external factors.

War is not the answer for building a resilient society at all, and my apologies if it seemed I was implying that it was.

She's still accepting the premise that more female success, as a whole, is something she values. But validating that it is okay for women to choose to be less successful in order to focus on their family is clearly going to result in less female career success.

Deep down I think we all agree that both startups and involving yourself in your children's lives take a lot of time and effort, and that we should respect an individual's free choice to determine what balance works for them. But many are struggling with an opposing ideal that necessarily cannot coexist. For example, by declining the CEO position, she's actively working against the ideal of having an equal number of female CEOs to male CEOs.

I fall under this belief too. I think people also over estimate the lack of exploration done in older years. Culture changes too fast for a lack of exploration strategy to exist in older populations. In developed nations it is far more acceptable to be gay, an ethnic minority, etc than it was 50 years ago. While this still takes longer than we'd like it is faster than what you'd expect if we required people to die off for culture to change (we've all but forgotten discrimination of Caucasian minorities, like the Irish and Polish, that was so prevalent even in the 60's and 70's). Things have drastically changed since the 90's even.

I'd also argue that another factor in the "explore vs exploit" strategy is fear (which encompasses fear of death). If you view your world as dangerous then it makes sense that you should focus on an exploitation strategy over an exploration strategy. The world is becoming far safer (despite American perception) and I think this is helping accelerate this cultural change too. I'd expect that if we lived to 200 we'd treat people in their 50's/60's like we do people in their 20's now, and I'd expect them to act similarly too (under the premise that health degrades in this new age system as our current age system).

Though honestly we'll never know until we do it. I do think fear of trying it is dangerous though. One of our advantages as humans is the fact that we tend to use an exploration strategy more than many other species. We've also gotten pretty good at mitigating risk while exploring dangerous territories. But that's how we push forward technological advancements.
I was thinking that some of these orgs could collaborate on an open standard that serves the same purposes served by What3Words, for the people for whom it serves those purposes. But with an open standard that doesn't sound overly proprietary.

I have no idea why you’re completely annihilated in downvotes. You’re right, at least about the incognito mode. I clearly remember chrome introducing this with a blog post or something; my boss at the time even joked that they used an example of “secretly buying a gift for someone” instead of all the dirty, dirty porn you want to watch.

Tabbed browsing, no idea though.

No one is claiming chrome invented the concept of incognito mode. It was just executed incredibly well.
