Lets say that only 1% die. 20% needed high-end medical intervention to not die.

Once the infection rate hits a threshhold, the entire 20% die.

I don't believe it's actually the case that once you are infected by the delta strain your body has lasting immunity to that same strain.

We probably would have been able to contain the wider spread of this virus had politicians shut down all non necessary air travel immediately after WHO/China officially declared a potential pandemic incoming in January 2020.

I’m not making statements about the way things ought to be, I’m being pragmatic about the way things are.

We’re trusting a lot of the stack. Apple’s policy as described is reasonable. If you distrust it because of the things they could do, that same logic applies to the entire stack.

The nature of modern software distribution is that the majority of the stuff we use from centralized corporations is governed by policy, not technical capability or controls, and you don’t get to know the details.

You don’t own the OS you use, you don’t own the important parts of your phone.

This can be different. Decentralized applications via protocols are interesting (DeFi blockchain stuff like Audius or other apps on Ethereum). If the UX can get figured out.

Urbit is interesting too - if you want to actually own your stack, use Urbit: https://media.urbit.org/whitepaper.pdf

Outside of decentralized protocols you’re ultimately just trusting policy somewhere. It seems dumb to me to arbitrarily be upset at Apple’s policy here, when the specifics are reasonable (and allow for e2ee).

Parts of I-5 are a mess... only 2 lanes, with trucks slowing the right lane to 55 mph. Then a constant parade of cars cutting from the right lane into the bumper-to-bumper 75 mph left lane, nearly getting rear-ended, to avoid those slow trucks. Then switching back right, slamming on their brakes to merge in.

There's never been any indication that there has been any more difficulty in catching these guys with better smartphone privacy features. It's easier than ever largely because the police have become better at investigations involving the internet.

Asking the police to put some investigative effort in rather than a dragnet sweep of every photo on every persons device is not too much to ask.

Importantly this should be the hard-capped precedent for every sort of crime. There's always a ton of other ways these people get caught without handing over preemptive access to every innocent persons phone. Same with terrorism, murder, etc.

I do think some of that is alleviated with a better quality induction cooktop. The one I used was able to be tuned to a particular temperature and had a temperature probe, so you could set it to maintain a liquid at exactly 130F for instance.

The problem is how uneven it is. It sounds like in your case the induction coils aren't spaced out far enough or have enough coverage for the size of your pan. This is a real problem on many induction cooktops, where a 10" or 11" burner will only have a 7" induction zone, which is horrible if you are setting a 12" or 13" skillet on top of it. On the higher end though, you can get dual-zone burners where they have a ring on the outer edge of the burner and an induction ring towards the center, and this helps a lot. It's still two hot rings rather than heat spaced across.

I've played around with several cooktop types and read a LOT on the topic, and my finding is that radiant electric ceramic cooktops are the most even, but the slowest to change temperature, because they essentially heat the glass which heats the pan to some degree. By the same token disc-bottom cookware is the most even, but the slowest to change temperature. The least even cooktops are induction, even the better induction is much less even than gas or electric coil. The least even cookware is definitely cast iron. Using cast iron on induction is the worst case scenario, but if you use disc-bottom cookware and a high end induction cooktop you can salvage it.

Also, watch out, induction has a tendency to warp or crack cast iron and carbon steel cookware, which if warped makes it basically not work at all on induction.

But all that said, just using gas is better across all types of cookware, and you can do things like use copper cookware for ultra-fast responsiveness and easy falling to simmers.

Sure - here's a simple fuzzer from a rope (fancy string) library I wrote a few years ago back when I was still learning rust. (Don't judge me!):

https://github.com/josephg/skiplistrs/blob/master/tests/test...

In a loop it simply randomly decides whether to insert, delete or replace some text, and after any action checks that the state is valid (In this case via a call to check2()).

You can go way deeper with this sort of thing if you want, with more complex models, random item generation and simplifiers to help pare down problems to simple test cases. And you can have more complex state - for example, where you also track interaction between multiple items. For example, if your state is a few users, and you also track one user paying another user and verify the total balance across all users is unchanged.

But you don't need to go deep for fuzz testing to be worthwhile. Even something as simple as this little loop is a remarkably effective bug finder.

And the “year of Linux on the desktop” meme isn’t about it not being a workable desktop or workstation OS. Of course it is and many people use it as such.

But it’s not a mainstream option that puts any kind of competitive pressure on the alternatives. You can’t go into Best Buy and walk out with a linux laptop/desktop that doesn’t have some proprietary layer (Chrome OS, Samsung, Google services) baked in.

So yes Linux works on the desktop, but “everyone should just use Linux” isn’t a realistic answer to issues like this one from Apple.

You have misinterpreted the data. The CDC reports 0.6% fatality rate overall since the start of the pandemic. The fatality rate for vaccinated individuals is way lower, for all variants.

Case fatality rates are completely meaningless and useless. The vast majority of infections never get officially tested or counted as cases.

Many people take the following maximalist stance: "Apple can't save users' privacy in China, nor can it push back against laws, so therefore it's unreasonable to ask them to hold the privacy line." But for every China there is a Brazil, Hungary, or India.

For every "completely authoritarian" regime, you have handfuls of (historically democratic) governments on their way toward authoritarianism. In these countries, it's often not the laws calling the shots but the politicians that happen to be in charge at that moment.

Even in democracies with laws as guardrails, presidents will push for data on political opposition - at times threatening techies along the way (see: Brazil jailing WhatsApp execs for access to data [0], Twitter/India raids, or, in the USA: Trump DOJ asking Apple to turn over info on House Dems [1])

Simply "doing what you're told" around the world (no-questions-asked, aka "being in the arena" as Tim Cook says) will turn you into an enabler of authoritarianism, and not just in totally FUBAR countries like China but in many nations with a lot of freedom at stake.

Has anyone looked at the Johns Hopkins COVID map and considered Sweden? Last year they were the country all the lockdown experts vilified (and libertarians envied). Today, Aug 12 2021, among most all western nations they show essentially no delta-bump. How do all you experts blaming anti-vaxers and AstraZeneca scientists looking at Israel explain this data point? What has given Sweden this apparent immunity from delta? It's annoying when inconvenient reality gets in the way of our theoretical science.
The vaccine is a single antigen. A live virus has many antigens. It makes sense your body would have more attacks if naturally infected.
To my understanding, that's correct. The R0 of the initial strain was somewhere around 2-3. For every infected individual, 2-3 additional individuals were infected. For the delta variant, R0 is around 8-9. In order to get herd immunity, `R0 * vaccination_rate * vaccine_effectiveness` must be less than 1. Even if a new vaccine can reach the same 95% rate as the original vaccine had on the original strain, the increase of R0 raises the necessary vaccination rate from ~65% to ~85%.

That's not to say that it's impossible. Chicken pox has a similar R0, but universal vaccination has greatly decreased the spread of the disease. At this point, it mainly occurs in small pockets of non-vaccination, and cannot spread significantly into the wider population. But that requires education and popular support, and is where we'll need to focus our efforts next.

Why do you think essentially no one is complaining about using ML to understand the content of photos, then (especially in comparison to this rather targeted CSAM feature)? My impression is that both Apple and Google have already been doing that since what? 2016? Earlier? There's been no need for a database of photos, either company could silently update those algorithms to ping on guns, drugs, Winnie the Pooh memes, etc.

> * USPS sabotage and state-level voter suppression measures in urban areas leading up to the 2020 election

This is implying that default mail-in voting was a way to get Democrats elected in the first place. (which it was given how mail-in voting was the source of the Democrats advance when they arrived)

> Post-election soft coup attempt via the courts

Challenging elections integrity in the courts are what insure the process is transparent and followed in the first place. This makes no sense by definition. Just because a SCOTUS nominee was nominated just before doesn't change anything and is still entirely within the Constitution. Because Democrats got unlucky on the retirement / death draw during this presidency doesn't mean a "coup". And by the way, it happened before.

> 1/6

Not a coup by any stretch of the imagination (no weapons) and barely a riot given the lack of destruction and violence. Also why leave out how security was reduced, that the FBI had informants and that Trump even proposed to increase security?

> alongside continuing implementation of state-level voter suppression measures and gerrymandering

Gerrymandering happens in blue districts too by the way, can can only do so much (elections results still mostly 50/50 percentage wise). And the "voter suppression" are a joke when you read the details of them since the measures being implemented are the same that are found in Canada (showing ID with proof of your address, registering to vote, having a reason to vote by mail, which used to be a Democrat talking point during the Bush/Obama years by the way).

YT is not “the arbiter of truth”. It has the ability to curate content on its own property just like you and I.

I've been predicting for five years that Detroit's population decline would bottom out in the 2020 census. I was wrong as Detroit still showed a considerable decline.

The downtown area residents have become primarily middle or upper middle class. The economic boom in that area has greatly increased the numbers of white, Asian and Hispanics in the city.

The mayor is challenging the results citing 25,000 households with electric bills who weren't counted.
which comes back to "politicians made it worse" - the CDC knew damn well that masks worked, that's why they wanted to reserve them for medical practitioners, and put out knowingly-false statements that the science indicated that masks didn't work.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/healthcare/2020/03/02/se...

https://www.businessinsider.com/fauci-mask-advice-was-becaus...

it's not any one thing but - if Trump had told people to be patriotic and wear their masks for america, and the CDC had just told people that yes masks work but we need the medical one for the doctors so make your own (which is what they ended up doing anyway), and Trump hadn't seized PPE supplies from doctors so that JKush could auction them off for a personal profit, etc etc - the outcome would have been significantly different.

but for Trump all that really mattered was "his numbers". He didn't even want to bring in a cruise ship full of dying people because that would make "his numbers" go up, even though it was already all over the west coast by that point. He knew damn well it was deadly, and that it was spreading everywhere, he told it a Pulitzer-winning journalist in as many words.

Like, shame on Fauci for playing into Trump's game, let that be a lesson on what happens if you let a politician compromise your medical ethics, but... Trump had a huge part in kneecapping the response. Literally everything he did was exactly identical to the actions you'd take if you were trying to increase the spread. Lie about the spread, lie about the severity of the symptoms ("just the flu"), lie about masks and make up fake treatments like Chloroquine and Ivermectin, literally stealing supplies out of the hands of first responders...

it's not hard to see that the response could have been a lot more effective without someone actively malicious at the helm. But it was hitting blue areas harder, and "those areas didn't vote for him" so he actively did everything he could to encourage the spread.

it's the "stealing the PPE out of the hands of first responders to let your son-in-law auction it" that gets me, personally. Like what kind of person let alone president would even think of that.
