Where they forceably took citizens for quarantine?

Yeah, that's not happening in the U.S. Not without starting a civil war.

"Later the policy became even more aggressive, with officials going door to door for health checks, and forcing anyone ill into isolation. A disabled boy reportedly died after he was left without food, water or help when his his father and brother were quarantined."

Source? Enough CoinJoins (Wasabi+Joinmarket) and I don’t think so. Note CJ work a bit different than the oldschool custodial tumblers. Combining CJs with LN (reverse) submarine swap for another layer.

With large enough anyonymity sets you should have plausible deniability. This is also a bit time-consuming, more so the larger the amount; there’s no way to do a complete end-to-end transaction of billions of dollars untracably in mere hours without standing out I think. But if you have days/weeks to break the link I think it’s def doable and done.

Obviously make one single mistake and you’re out, but that’s in the nature of these things.

If I’m wrong I’d very much appreciate something substantial.

ICU capacity should be the only metric for any mitigation measure.

Building greater capacity and staffing should be the focus.

The lack of capacity has been the justification for lockdowns since after summer 2020, and likely will be in some areas in the future. Its about periodic and seasonal things that occur while COVID is also taking up some bandwidth, not about whether it stops the spread at all. The messaging has been lackluster and hyperbolic and conflicting the whole time and will continue to be.

Sorry about your experience, its not worthwhile to stay frustrated on crowd reactions, this is a fast moving scenario and consensus will never be reached on the various overlapping chapters.
My hatred of amazon came from the way they treat their employees (including developers), but especially warehouse employees!! I saw a glimpse of that on PBS documentary Timing your bathroom breaks is super fucked up! I've used them exactly 4 times this year, maybe less than 10 times last year.. Before 2020, I was spending a large part of money on this evil company! I will not use them anymore!!
Totally, it’s a great solution. Using the env var is nice for the case where you only need to vary the email. Especially nice if you have multiple orgs to commit under, but the rest of your config is just how you like it for all projects.
Not quite. It was called the Spanish Flu because the Spanish press, being neutral during WWI, were free to write about the flu epidemic, while wartime censors in every other major country blocked any mention of it. But nonetheless, it almost certainly didn’t originate in Spain. https://www.history.com/news/why-was-it-called-the-spanish-f...

So do I and it was crap because you had to load the mouse driver, as well as decide which one you needed and some programs had their own and some didn't work with the mouse even though they should. Now, you can just ignore mouse drivers and it's all automatic. It really is better. RAM is literally ten thousand times cheaper than then too, so it's no worse for a modern driver to occupy 300MB, which is already pretty huge.

Don't kids in Singapore and Taiwan only wear masks when they're sick? (Rather than the entire class at all times; at least, up until the start of the pandemic.) If so, it seems like a mistake to use that as any precedent for how kids in California will grow up under the present regime.

It's interesting (to me), because of the whole idea that crypto are in fact cryptocurrencies.

So unlike buying a house or buying stock options, the argument can be made that the crypto is itself the medium of exchange and therefore the value in fiat is irrelevant.

But this also means that if the crypto drops in price while the cops are HODLing it, they lose out.
The world may be 2021, but their lifestyle is still that of hundreds of years earlier. If western ideology is correct, why not let them sort it themselves out and get to the point where we are? My problem is most westerners love to criticize anything less free than themselves, but don't take a step back and realize we shouldn't be criticizing. What we consider unjust they may not. We tried banning dolphin fishing internationally even though many asian countries have eaten them for centuries. All because we think dolphins are nice animals. But who the hell are we to tell some other cultures, their value system is inferior to ours?

That is what I'm getting at. These systems have been around longer than westerners have been able to argue about them. And they will definitely be here to stay. Also, in a decentralized and failing state that is Afghanistan, a theological junta wouldn't be so bad for them now seeing as it's a structure many know. Injustices happen everywhere worldwide. The system the Taliban is reinforcing (yet again...) is hardly something as unethical as a corrupt and failing democracy where women can't even trust the law to protect them.

we never shut the airports (or the channel tunnel). If you arrived in the UK you were told to quarantine, but not made to.

Also our politicians are deeply incompetent and were the only ones in Europe (AFAIK) aiming for herd immunity right off the bat, until they eventually ran the numbers on death rates if the ICUs ran out of capacity and realised it was a terrible idea.
HR is not on your side.

The RAND healthcare study showed that drastic drops in medical expenditures had virtually no impact on mortality. Potentially even negative impact.[1]

The reality is if you're a health adult, an overburdened ER or OR poses a very small risk. Probably much less than what could be made up by eating one extra daily serving of vegetables.[2] You have far more to fear from lockdown induced supply chain disruptions that cause fresh produce shortages at the local grocer.

I just want Result types I can map over. That would cut out a bunch of clutter. Even if I could pair one fallible function with one infallible function, that's 50% less err != nil

val, err := int_or_err(foo)
if err != nil { return nil, err}
return val.add(bar), nil

Vs

result := int_or_err(foo)
return val.map(add,bar)

I'd even take some sort of

result := int_or_err(foo)
return val.map(add,bar).tuple()

to return a val,err pair in order to match conventional go.

Right, so it's far more to do with institutions and policy than it is to do with how big an ocean you're in. NZ could have done the exact same thing - kept flights going, asked people politely to quarantine, etc.
The final one we're building will be 60 feet and have a 650lb payload, so would have to be an ultralight house! And you'd also need a place to park a 60'x20' airship.

As somebody who has purchased a lot of things from both Ali Express, there is a massive difference between Ali Express and Amazon.

To me, Ali Express is great for simple items that are practically fungible commodities, where workmanship and build quality aren't that impactful, and you can afford to wait a long time for it to arrive, and you can afford to receive some nontrivial percentages of those things and they turn out to be substandard or broken or substantially different than what was pictured. No matter the co-mingling issue, the same cannot be said of Amazon.

It is surprisingly difficult to explain this even to otherwise intelligent people. Everyone has been so brainwashed by mass media's narrative of "stopping covid" that they don't see that even in January of 2020 it was already impossible to "stop" it in any meaningful way. And they're still talking about it today. The strategy, it seems to me, should be to vaccinate as many people as possible, and then, within 6 months of that curve flatlining somewhere at 85-90% just let 'er rip and get people to acquire long-lasting immunity from COVID itself, while they are still protected by vaccine antibodies. And those who decline the vaccine should be treated as adults, and allowed to take the risk, too. There can't be _that_ many of such people given that by CDCs own estimates 120M+ people in the US already had the disease [1]. We will all get it eventually. A year or two from now, we'll be getting it 2-3 times a year and it'll be totally normal. Masks or no masks, you are getting covid. But with a vax you have a much greater chance of suriving it. This should be the messaging, yet we get total incompetence and incoherence out of people who should know better.

5% more deadly would be "slightly". 2-3x more deadly and much more infectious isn't "slightly".

This all makes perfect sense from a market perspective.

Why tell the user what is wrong, when you can silently fail and make the user blame the website?

The goal of Google is to gaslight users away from using technologies that Google does not like.

And of course they prefer that you use an unencrypted connection over a self signed certificate. They want you be connected to a larger system in order to benefit from TLS.

If Google were to just cut to the chase, they would just forbid downloads from any domains that they didn't charge a fee to approve. Malware will of course get through sometimes, but Google will still get paid. They want to turn the web into an app store.

But the saddest thing of all, is that Mozilla will replicate whatever dark patterns Google implements, without any benefit to themselves or their users.
Remote pilot like a military drone operator!

There's no way to get the R0 of Delta below 1.0. Period. Even the strictest lockdown regiments have had transmission far above 1.0. The only reason Delta ever subsides (like in India) is when it burns through enough of the population to lose fresh targets.

The science is settled. Virtually everyone is going to get Delta either sooner or later. There's nothing that can be done to change that fact. All we can do is slow the spread from a few weeks of wildfire to a few months of wildfire.
I was curious so I checked it out. It's the website of an artist who makes pin-up style portraits. Some of the images might be considered mildly NSFW if you are in a very conservative environment.

From afar what i got out of the afghan withdrawal was about the idea that intervening has failed too many times and it would be wise to leave.

It's not so much that kernel development is all that difficult, but 99% of the things you could make that would be useful would be device drivers. And device driver development requires an understanding of digital logic and the domain-specific "hardware APIs" (registers and stuff) exposed by various types of hardware.

Simply because the legal paperwork listed the value in Swedish crowns rather than in bitcoins.

As I understand this article, the same would have happened if the legal paperwork listed the value of the house in crowns, and then the housing market rose and the house tripled in value.

The only unusual thing with Bitcoins, is that the value thereof has risen to quite extreme proportions.

Because if there is an un-vaccinated population in a country, it is a threat because at a later point, it could be compared with the vaccinated, and show that vaccinated incurred some life long injury..

And with the vaccines being so new, that is a real possibility..

So if everyone is vaccinated in a country, there would be no control group to compare the vaccinated against, to assess the quality of the vaccine..And that is ass covering for entities who want to push these new vaccines..
