A nearby county is one of the few in the state that is honestly reporting the share of vaccinated cases being hospitalized. Only 2/3rds if the hospitals are reporting, and about half of the patients in those 2/3rds of hospitals are vaccinated. Of course without knowing the age of the patients and the vaccination rate for that age bracket it’s hard to make much sense of the numbers. That is intentional. The data are available and could be reported but they are not, intentionally.

That most counties are withholding this information— the share of hospitalized cases that are vaccinated— is unconscionable to me. Is that not misinformation? They have the data and could report it, they’re reporting all sorts of other information about hospitalizations. It’s quite clear that they are withholding this information to help market the vaccines to the unvaccinated. If they reported the share of severe cases that were fully vaccinated it might give justification to the hesitant.

The problem is, by withholding the data to shade the truth and provide “nudges” as Fauci likes to say, they are instilling a false sense of safety in many vaccinated high risk people.

I’ve had arguments with elderly high risk family members when I tried to alert them to the Israel data and the fact that the vaccines were losing efficacy. They thought I’d fallen prey to anti-vaxx conspiracy theories. They we’re “trusting the science” that was being quoted by their favorite politicians and news outlets. I was paying attention to the international scientific literature.

Ironically, similar arguments played out at the outset of the pandemic when I tried to warn them that despite the WHO repeatedly saying there was no evidence of a pandemic, there indeed was a pandemic rapidly approaching. One went to Chinese New Year party in San Francisco, encouraged specifically by Nancy Palosi.

Similarly, at the outset of the pandemic I tried to tell them to wear masks, but our vaunted experts told them not to.

Up until a few days ago, they thought their vaccines rendered them invincible. Thankfully the sourced they trust are now talking about boosters, so they are being more cautious.

I’m sick of dangerous misinformation but it’s mostly come from the media and politicians. The scientific literature with a few notable examples has been solid. Sadly most posters in this thread won’t read it. Instead they’ll “trust the science” that the news muppets tell them to.
this is not enough, you will still end up with a piece of hardware that you paid for and can not fully use.

it’s their decision to introduce this account, when there is really no need for it, let it be their problem to fully refund everything when this affects you. the solution is simple: quit forcing people to use the account nobody asked for.
You know? Original Java was a fairly simple language :) Generics were added in 2004 in J2SE 5.0.
Technically today it does allow them to get such a certificate, but they choose not to (and Let's Encrypt has never allowed this because it's unsafe). Ballot SC45 for the Baseline Requirements this year fixed that so that from December they will not be able to get a wildcard certificate based on proving control over the parent domain.
Space is really big. You'd need a very large number of tiny reflectors to have a decent chance of any passing close enough to unknown objects to be measurably affected by their gravity.

How does (or should) this tie into that last tool they released that suggested snippets of of other peoples code ... copilot.

When your code ends up with a morally equivalent section to something copilot suggested out of my repo should GH add my citation to your code?

I don’t get it. There’s code and working features. That’s the result.
Anybody who has ever worked in finance or any number of Finance adjacent industries realizes how easily accessible social Security numbers actually are. Anyone can sign up for a skip tracing service or an identity validation service and reverse search a name and City to find your social security number if they want to.

It's probably time to replace the old social security number system.
Go has some "special" built in functions like len() that work across different structures. What if instead of adding generics they added more of those special functions for working with slices as you describe? Would that have solved your problem?
Because maybe what you described isn’t a violation of terms of service. Do you always start companies without consulting a lawyer?

One thing I’m missing on GitHub is support for providing a citation for a journal paper about the software, not the software itself. It’s common to see something like “if you use this code, please cite this paper” in README files.

There are many reasons why people put this into their READMEs, but it mostly boils down to the fact that paper citations affect various metrics, while citations of a GitHub repo mostly don’t matter.

The citation file format does include a field for providing a list of extended references, but it seems that GitHub doesn’t support that.

Of course, but remember that `len` has constant return type, while in case of slices you'd have a return type that's different on the input slice
Linked lists are the one data structure that you never end up wanting a generic version of. They aren't really used as containers. (Except badly.)

The researchers would say that they adjusted the statistics to eliminate that variable but these statistical tricks work only in physics yet somehow they find it acceptable to use for such small N.
I see. I guess I assumed that the category of special "privileged functions" would have their powers extend to cover stuff like that (I haven't used Go, I'm just going off of what I've read)

I'm very intrigued by the no-generics idea, so I'm prodding at what might've made it workable enough that this reversal wouldn't be necessary :)
My password manager only fills passwords on the domain they belong to, and it’s also my TOTP generator so the same applies there too.

I really like when software uses this technique and leaves the logging present in release code. As a sysadmin being able to crank up debugging logs is nearly as useful as source code access if the developer has been thorough with their logging calls. Seeing internal state goes a long way toward figuring out whys seemingly-correct configuration isn't actually doing what you want.

Worst, in the industry its often an acronym for "drawdown". I was quite confused until I saw the definition DD=due diligence on the homepage.
I’m not sure Go has ever been a great language for non-CS people, but it’s been a very long time since I was new to programming. Go is pretty clearly a “get shit done” language catered to developers: a productivity tool. Why should it have its capabilities restricted?

English is used in both reality TV shows and scientific journals. The vocabulary used in the latter doesn’t prevent it from being useful in the former.

Go will still be usable the exact same way it is today after generics are brought in. It’s not like all the existing more approachable code written without generics won’t just disappear overnight.

That said, I agree with GP. Generics aren’t that complex anyway.

Isn't that the response you should expect on any topic where the population's preference is split across a decision line?

When go didn't have generics, those in favor commented. Now that it will, those against are commenting.

It sounds funny at face value but I don't see the insight.
Facebook's ARPU is about $25/year. https://www.thegoodestate.com/facebook-arpu/

An enterprise software company I was closely familiar with in the 1990s budgeted about $50/call for user support. Mind that was 20+ years ago, and it was enterprise, rather than end-user support. But odds are strong that one service call per user eats up all, or multiples of, the actual worth of that user to Facebook. Cutting the account loose may well be the rational choice for the company.

ARPU varies by region. Within the US it's closer to $110/yr, in Europe, $35/yr, Asia & Pacific, $10/yr. Expect that support offerings are going to be measured against that, though possibly with a consideration as well to future growth and economic development.

At $25/call and servicing 1% of users/year, that's $750 million in support alone. If the cost or rates are doubled ... the maths are pretty easy.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea correlates to obesity and obesity correlates to testosterone levels. Obesity is probably the root cause of both because of the behaviors of adipose tissue (taking up room and trashing your endocrine system, respectively), but I'm not an expert.

Google employees are sort of known for being willing to make stands on moral and ethical convictions. As well as advertising itself as a company that welcomes that type of person, paying as much over the local median as they do likely means many employees can afford to lose their job and have at least a few months worth of living expenses saved up. Combined, these mean Google employees are probably very likely to make a stink about something if you trigger those traits, IMO.

Sometimes, how you say it is as or more important than what you say. Giving benign plausible explanations for red flag behavior is expected from big corporations. This isn't their first rodeo, or at least not for the people they've staffed that deal with this.
Apple delays return to office to at least January 2022
Thanks! I know exactly what you mean. I've experimented with using medians instead of means for aggregating performance as well to lessen the impact of that sort of thing.

Currently, it's pretty difficult to crack the top without something like that. At the same time, I think (as another commenter pointed out) the distribution of returns for the way these traders pick stocks is pretty skewed/lottery-like. One hesitation I have about the median is that although it's more robust to outliers its less reflective of the true performance achieved.

Maybe putting some stocks in a "meme tier" and then excluding those might capture what your describing, thanks for the feedback!
Looks like you don't handle stock splits. There was a 10:1 stock split for TTD a few months ago, so DDs before then are mostly just showing -90%.

- China imports up to half of its food. Since Xi is a clone of Mao, he doesn't care if half the population dies of a famine, but there is a high risk of civil unrest over food.

- China is totally reliant on fast chips from external vendors. All of their local high-end fab programs have failed, with around $30 billion just disappearing.

- China uses forced organ harvesting (mainly Uighur) to pay for its national hospital system. This is corrosive for foreign relationships long-term, with Europe becoming aware of this.

- China risks war with all of their neighbors after seizing the Himalayan headwaters. Since half of those countries are Muslim, combined with the above item, this get could ugly (go nuclear.)

- China stopped capital repatriation around 2016, so there's huge financial risk in building or operating factories there since profits cannot be withdrawn. Ths risk today is 100% in fact - you can't get your money out for sales in the China market.

In addition, China is copying car designs, etc. and selling into the Russian market, making mfgs. like Volkswagen re-think their China strategy.

- China relies on a US Marxist government to turn a blind eye to the above. Another Republican or Trumpist government will destroy China with just Trump/Pompeo's 2020 policies, let alone a total ban from US capital markets.

- In a war, a lot of the one-child policy males would die. Since those men are needed to support their parents in retirement, there would be a huge backlash against the govt.

(The reason for all the naval exercises reported in the press is that the CCP has no confidence in their unproven navy. But note that the CCP has had operational nuclear submarines with MIRVs since 2010.)
But to them, A liking B and B liking A are one and the same, since all they are measuring is talk time.

Regardless, I think it would do much better if it took into account ratings. Even better if they allow you to rate them on several things and then give an overall rating.

I personally hate it when things try to learn from my behavior rather than my explicit declarations. For instance, if I click on clickbait (hey, I'm human) it shouldn't assume I actually like that thing or want to see more of it.
I’d count that as largely unrelated. This is purely a performance optimisation, whereas mounting to an element other than the body is so that you can be somewhat more confident about the DOM inside your chosen root being in the shape you desire, since it’s common for third-party scripts, browser extensions and the likes to add children to the body (start or end), which can mess with VDOM resolution.

Yeah, a lot of that probably doesn't matter for Tesla's current internal use case but all of it matters when you're talking about commercializing it.
I don't think they are trolling; I have exactly the fear that somehow now my email, IP, all linked credit cards on other accounts, etc, are about to be autobanned by the same broken process that got me to this point.

The biggest concern is the complete lack of transparency in why the account was suspended; was I hacked and I need to protect other things? Was my customer data accessed? I haven't the faintest idea, which is a helpless feeling.

I had planned for outages, disconnects, etc, but literally EVERYTHING is behind the Heroku login; because I never considered anything I was doing remotely bad, I never considered I'd be suddenly unable to login to every 3rd party backup service, access environment variables, etc.

Is there data behind that claim? The Bloomberg Terminal uses up to four and they are not strictly acronyms — sure, WEI is “World Economic Indices”, but TOP is “Top News” and OMON is “Options Monitor”. Four opens up a much wider range of possibilities in English if you don’t strictly use acronyms because there’s a wealth of short words and abbreviations that are super memorable.
Like for 'Teams'. But that is probably more of a result of not having a team of developers with a clue and management outnumbering developers five to one. You know it's true when they prioritise Salesforce integration of cut and paste working.

Intentionally misleading information is “misinformation”. Not sure how you can say otherwise. Most people don’t really care about how Uber and Lyft operate, and misinformation preys on individuals who only vaguely care. This is very real, and has massive impacts as most people exist on the margins of most issues. It takes a lot of time and effort to do your own independent research, and there are a lot of more important things in peoples lives.
Thanks! For sure, having more history helps put things in context.

There's several stocks you can see now where tons of people have bought after the top and lost a lot. Here's an example:

Thanks! Yeah, I don't want to put anyone down with the worst traders page but worst stocks could be fun, especially if it's done as a way to bring people together around their losses and better inform themselves on what to look out for.

Interesting analysis and I think I've reached similiar conclusions when talking to my friends and associates and seeing their results over the last ~5y; high risk leads to lot of capital loss often for them.

I usually have been playing low-risk investments and want to change that, any articles or advice to make independent high risk bets that actually end up lowering overall risk?
