Thank you. Thinking speculatively about a middle ground, I wonder what is minimally necessary in a model to accurately predict population dynamics - this intervention will tend to grow your colony, this other intervention will tend to decrease it. I think of higher fidelity models as supporting prediction of degree of population change - by how much up or down, and by when. But, I think a thing about "systems" is that you really can't separate dynamics from degree.
I'm From NYC, lived in West Babylon, worked in Farmingdale, and I have a hard time believing you. There is good ethnic food on LI, just look for it.

I love Turkish and there's a little shop on Rt 109 and Strait Path in N. Lindenhurst, Pasha Kebob and Grill. Want fast and cheap Polish lunch? Go down Great Neck rd to Oak st in Copiague and there are a few delis selling delicious hot food for $3-8 per plate. Main st in Farmingdale has Rolling Spring Roll, Awesome Vietnamese place, love their Pho (also one in Syosset). Down the street is Grecian Grill, a good Greek Joint. And these are just the few I care to mention. Granted LI is big and I named places closer to Farmingdale. But you get the idea.
Because of the way HIV "works" any preventative vaccine would almost certainly be curative or as good as.

The HI virus is very slow (not called "Lentivirus" for nothing) and invests itself in the very stemcells of the cells that would be fighting it. This means it can hide from the immune system, and even the antiviral drugs can only push it back. But by the same token, if it is pushed back into the deepest refuge, it can't really "flood" back into the rest of the body, it has to do so at a a trickle.

If there is a viable vaccine around, even if the virus manages to hide from total extinction in a host at first, it will get squashed whenever it tries to come back into the "light" of the immune system.

At least I hope it will work that way...
Great thread and discussion. IMO, there's some overhead to using a framework but it's marginal compared to the data model/flow/architecture you've chosen to implement. I don't think reaching for a framework kills snappiness nearly as quickly as reaching for a convenient but inefficient data model.

I expect a mass exodus once lease renewals are up and buildings don't want to give the same 2-3 months free incentives.

This comes from something I've noticed in NYC these past several months. In the winter and up until mid-April, most rental buildings were providing huge incentives (2-3 months off on a 12 month lease) for people to occupy their buildings. What's interesting is that most of the new people I'm meeting in the city ONLY moved to NYC because the city 're-opened' and rent is affordable w/incentives from certain perspectives.

Those who have been living in NYC took advantage of incentives to move into nicer/larger spaces - but this is often unaffordable to them once the lease renewals are up.

For some perspective, a $5,000/month place with 3 months off, is a net effective rent of $3,750/month. I've seen this go at some upscale buildings. A personal friend of mine can afford this at the $3,750/month rate, but not at any rate above that. If they gave a 1 month free incentive upon renewal, his net effective rent would be $4,580/month.

That's one example, but it goes for $3,500/month 1 bedroom in some areas - with 2 months off that's ~$2900/month.

So it really depends, but I hear from a lot of new people I meet that they are here for the year and got a great deal on a place - they wanted to experience the city for a year, and this seemed like an affordable time and way to do it (since they can work from home)

Basically all of my friends (myself included) met their significant other online. We just got married last weekend. When you look at the statistics, it clearly works for a very large portion of the population.
What abuse are you trying to detect? I can only see payment fraud, but that can be mitigated by requiring clear payment in advance (like a deposit) and/or payment methods where the fraud liability shifts to the bank (any payment card with 3D-Secure which is now the default in Europe).
I learned React to know what it was about and what people were talking about. I think a lot of people get the wrong idea about React. They say the virtual DOM is the most important feature, but I think it's actually the fact that it forces you to componentize your code. And it does this by making non-componentized code very painful to work with, so you have to componentize to be able to have any shot at getting React to work.

But if you already have the componentization mindset, I don't think React really adds anything. As you have said, managing raw DOM operations can be significantly faster. And because you have componentized your code, they are significantly easier to reason about.

The only problem is that working with a medium-sized smash of code is not as painful in vanilla JS as it is in React. So if you've grown your application over time, adding bits and bobs to it piecemeal, you're likely to end up with an application structure that is inherently difficult to manage. Then folks rewrite in React, get forced to componentize, and lo-and-behold, everything is much easier to manage.

At this point, whatever gets you there, gets you there, I guess. Personally, I make VR applications that run in the browser, so I coveteth performance.
It wholly mass-commoditizes something that has never been mass-commoditized (and should never be) before. When this happens, you're often left with the raw economics of the situation. And this is what's happened with dating. And hoo boy, do people not like talking about it either. It displays a lot of uncomfortable truths about men and women's places in societies. If anything it should be discussed more, but emotions often get in the way.
The pragmatic answer is that, for the the large companies usually behind those frameworks, they can have many independent teams that are working on split components, without marching on each other's toes.

But to me, there's a parallel to be made between both the newer trends of components and micro-services, and the old idea of Object Oriented Programming. In all cases, you get sold on the idea that everything should be cut down into tiny pieces.

Theoretically the separation of concerns has tons of merits, but in practice there are a lot of rough edges when those separate pieces have to interact with each others.

And the tradeoffs may not always be worth it when your project isn't on the scale of those large companies (it very rarely is).

Is there evidence that the CIA as of recent had an inaccurate view of the situation in Afghanistan? I couldn’t find it in the article but it could be.

What happened in Vietnam was that the CIA had a very accurate view of the situation but the military loudly and repeatedly claimed everything was going well. Depending on the day, LBJ either wanted to believe that or felt he had to maintain the fiction in order not to lose in ‘68. I wouldn’t be surprised if history rhymes here.

The term memoization likely precedes the word caching (as related to computing, obviously weapon caches are far older). Memoization was coined in 1968. CPU caches only came about in the 80s as registers became significantly faster than main memory.

As wikipedia outlines, the r was dropped because of the memo. It's derived from the latin word memorandum that does contain the r, just like memory, but apparently it was more meant as an analogy to written memos.
The article states that Lyme disease is only transmitted if the tic latches on for over 36 hours. The bacteria is latent in the tic's gut until blood is ingested, at which point it takes 36 hours for the bacteria to multiply and migrate to the tic's salivary glands.

What I really found amazing was that rather than reducing the number of multiplications to 2 (to calculate x^3), you can reduce it to 0, and it would still do surprisingly well.
I just read Arnold Schwarzenegger's essay in The Atlantic (full disclosure: 110% agree) ...

A thing that stood out, when Arnie spoke out against people using "freedom" as justification for not getting a vaccine or wearing a mask, he said

> Many people told me that the Constitution gives them rights, but not responsibilities. They feel no duty to protect their fellow citizens.

I see a direct link betwen the decline of capitalist equity and civic responsibility. As you say, there are no benefits, and therefore no agency.

The generations Arnie holds up as exemplars of civic virtue also had higher tax rates, stronger unions, and a much heartier social safety net.

Must be okay with fedoras and musky odors.
I think it would be awesome for Typescript to introduce sync functions. So think of that as completely flipping the dialog on async/await to await by default:

sync function x() {
const taco = getTaco() // getTaco returns Promise<Taco>, but taco automatically resolves it in a sync function
// Similarly, you can tell it to not wait
const ptaco = nowait getTaco();
// ptaco is a Promise<Taco>
const taco2 = ptaco; // taco2 is a Taco because the ptaco symbol is treated like (await ptaco) without nowait
// Also, since ptaco has already "awaited", future
// access would be 0 delay as it's basically a resolved promise.
}

Of course, similar to an async function, sync functions would also return a promise.

Probably a dumb idea but I would use it personally.

If you use the London Underground late enough, you occasionally see engineering trains pass through.

I think they move them to sidings in central London very late in the evening, so that after the last passenger train has departed (00:30-01:00) the equipment/materials can be where they're needed in just a few minutes.

Hilarious you brought this up: "No, you don't have an ulcer, you're just eating too much ice cream before going to bed."

Reflux is a very common food allergy symptom and milk is one of the most common allergen, if not THE most common.

I've had 3 or 4 scopes that showed some mild inflammation, and GIs were simply lost. I've managed to locate a 90 year old allergist who probably began practicing before there was benadryl. After recounting the symptoms I was told "it's milk. it's always milk". I was taken aback, how can anyone be so sure? Literally 5 minutes later that was confirmed by a skin-prick test.

Most physicians are garbage. The allergist was quite thorough.

That doesn't mean distrust of vaccination in general - at least by doctors. It was for a potential bioterrorist attack. It perhaps more reflects the low likelihood or belief that there would be a small pox attack.

> These Nvidia/AMD cards are unprecedented overkill for most gamers. People are begging for cards that can run games at 1080p, Nvidia went straight to 4K, even showing off 8K gaming on the 3090, and now they can't even deliver any cards that run 720p/1080p. Today, we've got AMD releasing the 6600XT, advertising it as a beast for 1080p gaming [2]. This is what people actually want; affordable and accessible cards to play games on (whether they can keep the 6600xt in stock remains to be seen, of course). Nvidia went straight Icarus with Ampere; they shot for the sun, and couldn't deliver.

Do they need dedicated GPUs at all then? My impression has been that if you just want to go at 1080p and modest settings modern integrated GPUs can do fine for most games.
That's not true, rogue Chinese trawling fleets fishing illegally are quite widely and openly discussed - there's no real doubt that they exist and have little incentive to bother fishing sustainably.

A reasonable proxy is state expenditure per capita.

In the case of california, the state happens to collect a disproportionate amount from cap gains which helped in 2020 and caused a crisis in 2008. Also spending is higher per capita in the less densely settled (and predominantly Republican) portions of the state (most of it if you look at a political map) simply because the infrastructure is thinner and more critical and social services are more expensive to provide.
“NO inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro (154) and improves oxygenation in people with COVID-19 when administered by inhalation (155). Small studies of ubiquinol (156) and of a combination of NADH and CoQ10 (157) have reported clinical benefit. Many other potential treatments targeting redox imbalance also deserve consideration: for example, glutathione (and glutathione donors), N-acetyl cysteine, cysteamine, sulforaphane, ubiquinol, nicotinamide, melatonin, selenium, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, melatonin plus pentoxyfylline, disulfiram, ebselen, and corticosteroids. In two cases of acute COVID-19, glutathione administered therapeutically counteracted dyspnea associated with COVID-19 pneumonia and reduced pulmonary inflammation (158).”

Yes to NO! And wonder why everyone isn’t taking NAC already. Especially in the age of covid, it seems like a no brainer.

> The meltdown was the consequence of a combination of the easy money and low interest rates engineered by the Federal Reserve and the easy housing engineered by a variety of government agencies and policies. Those agencies include the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and two nominally private "government-sponsored enterprises" (GSEs), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The agencies — along with laws such as the Community Reinvestment Act (passed in the 1970s, then fortified in the Clinton years), which required banks to make loans to people with poor and nonexistent credit histories — made widespread homeownership a national goal. This all led to a home-buying frenzy and an explosion of subprime and other non-prime mortgages, which banks and GSEs bundled into dubious securities and peddled to investors worldwide. Hovering in the background was the knowledge that the federal government would bail out troubled "too-big-to-fail" financial corporations, including Fannie and Freddie.

So the impetus is really the insanely cheap money stemming from US Federal Reserve policy, and the steering of this cheap money into housing by policy.

The "variety of actors not understanding their own risky financial products" has a governmental cause: all the ratings agencies (Moody's, S&P, Fitch [1]) are government licensed. And they all said the mortgage-backed securities (at least partially comprising sub-prime mortgages, if not entirely) are AAA premium grade. Some investment managers & other commentators called out the absurdity of these ratings but nobody really listened.

No, removing them early just reduces the chance of getting Lyme. There's no such thing as a 24 hour barrier.
> Young attractive women get more than enough attention from social media, they're not even on dating apps as they were a decade ago.

I think this is a very strange take. Attractive people of any sex or gender get attention in many places. However, attention ismt dating - dating mostly happens in places people go to for dating. That may be bars, college parties, it may be Tinder/Grindr/OKCupid, it may be Instagram/Facebook/TikTok/Snapchat. Sure, some people serendipitously meet their SO in other circumstances, through common friends etc. But by and large, if you want a date, you simply need to be in the one of the places where your peer group dates, online or off. If the new dating app is Instagram, so be it.
> But I'd rather humor the quackish side of chronic lyme and see some progress being made,

That would have the opposite effect, because many (or likely most) of them never actually had Lyme disease.

That’s the problem: “Chronic Lyme” has attracted too many pseudoscience practitioners who lazily blame everything on undetectable Lyme. They diagnose based on symptoms alone and/or employ tests with known extreme false positive rates while dismissing mainstream tests that have been validated.

The more you mix those false patients into the real Lyme population, the more you dilute the real signal from actual patients.

Humoring the quackery doesn’t advance the science.

If you want progress to be made in a field, it’s important to be diligent about keeping the quackery out.
