> we see that he current 0-59 death rate is 0.2%

I made a statement about the percentage of deaths among people over 50 (not death rate).

Computing an IFR (infection fatality rate) is difficult because so many infections are unrecorded. For example, consider this paper[1]:

> We found that these antibodies were present in 42.4% of the individuals tested and that the majority of these infections, which were generally mild, had not been previously detected.

It seems to me a ton of infections occur and go away without anyone recording them. We only see information about infections which result in worse outcomes.

Given the desire to avoid any negative information about vaccine efficacy and safety, it is also reasonable to assume that we are only seeing a smaller number of people who died after the injection.

Especially games played by agencies in how they count the vaccinated (if you die/get sick between your first shot and two weeks after the second shot, you are not counted among the vaccinated) do not instill confidence. The arbitrary insistence in certain areas of the U.S. that even people who've had Covid19 must get vaccinated before they can be allowed to live life breeds suspicion.

PS: Since the beginning, people all over the world suffered and are continuing to suffer under delusional policies implemented to support the fiction that "zero Covid19" is possible if you just "do as I say!" Now, the repeat is coming in the form of "90 - 100% vaccination" where fully vaccinated status seems like it is going to be a moving target.

I've experienced firsthand the power of lock-in that bloated, monolithic EMR and PMS (practice management systems). There is an entity parallel to Hotswap, Bridge Connector, focused on offering different forms of migrations and integration in the medical space.

Funny, this prompted me to look them up, and it seems they spent their $25m B round and gave up last year.

Good luck OP, particularly if you ever approach the healthcare industry.
While my account may be new here, I am not. Being a "grands hommes" of this site doesn't change anything and you've given absolutely no extra information to counter my point.
It's just the same out here in the shires. My local council charges something in the region of £4 for 2 hours. I say "something" because as you might guess, and from my parent comment, I have no reason to go into the town, and that's what I can remember from about 3 or 4 years ago!

My council claim it's a source of revenue, but then moan that they own the shops in the town and no one is taking up leases. Local shop owners have begged the council to make the car parks free on a trial to see what happens, and the council's response was a) increase the parking fees, b) sell off a car park to a property developer who built an office block, c) sell off a second car park for some 'outdoor cafe culture' development with flats (because the UK is warm in the evenings all year round).
One of the biggest issues with this discussion is that we call these current round of therapeutics, "vaccines". They aren't. They don't prevent infection. They don't prevent transmission. At best, they reduce symptoms.

One class of bug can make you overwrite values in a map or get your code 'stuck' to a number, the other just gives you a (more) wrong number.

Percentiles are order statistics, they are robust and not sensitive to outliers. This is why sometimes they are very useful. And this is why they do not capture how big the remaining 0.01% of the data are.

Let's take a median, which is also an order statistics. And a sequence of latency measurements: 0.005 s, 0.010 s, 3600 s. Median latency is 0.010 s, and this number does not tell how bad latency can actually be. Mean latency is 1200.05 s, which is more indicative how bad the worst case is.

In other words, percentiles show how often a problem happens (does not happen). Mean values show the impact of the problem.

This guy sounds like me ~8 years ago. Eventually I gave up on the idealism and settled on some compromises. Mostly I have a few bright lines I won't cross: I don't use Facebook or Amazon or any of the "gig economy" scams; I don't participate in any of the IoT or smart home/automation crap; I don't have wearables; I use an ad-blocker to do my part to kill the ad-economy. I've completely given up on privacy online: there is no such thing as computer security and the only winning move is not to play. Don't put anything you care about being private onto a computer. Your doctor will, but there's nothing you can do about that.

It's worth exploring where the limits of digital asceticism are for yourself, and then scaling it back to a place you find reasonable.

Councils are trying to encourage you to travel more sustainably, and they're doing that by valuing the land you're using for parking appropriately. The fact is, free parking is subsidised parking and it isn't right that public authorities are subsidising your choice to drive.
There are several benefits to using enums as opposed to closures:

1. All your actions are in one place. Figuring out what can happen as a result of a series of user interactions can be done without navigating through a component hierarchy.

2. The history of a user interaction is simple to serialize. In case of error, you can dump the user interaction history for this session (just a list of enum values, right?) to disk. This can then be submitted in bug reports for easy re-production of an issue.

3. It's simple(r) to create a time-travelling debugger that can move backwards and forwards in time, since it can simply re-play the series of messages to a specific point.

4. Since you've seperated state changes from the UI, writing unit tests that ensures that a series of user interactions results in a specific state is pretty easy. You just send in the enum values representing a specific use interaction then check what state you've ended up with.
Experiences can be compelling without being addictive, which is a distinction I think sometimes lost here. Civilization is compelling and I for one have lost some sleep to Just One More Turn, but one rarely loses one's job or family over Civilization, which is not true of gambling addiction. Inability to stop despite sincere desire to stop, negative impact across multiple outside-the-activity areas of life, etc, are diagnostic criteria for addictions of all sort for basically this reason.

As a parent, I probably wouldn't encourage my children to play either WoW or Genshin Impact or similar until I had a strong bead on their level of self-regulation capacity.

Is there a macOS equivalent of this query?
I worked at a US company that wanted us to put in the extra effort and do work after hours. They tracked this with a summary report of work submitted after 5.

So I worked normally and then I'd sit on all my work and wait until just after 5:15 to submit it all and then leave immediately. I didn't get in until 9:30 or 10 anyway so there was literally no difference except my work was delayed.

They praised our team for all the extra work. They really had no clue.
> However a point can be made that if you even need to consider such behavior, you should probably be using something more precise than your current number representation.

I would agree with this. If you're in a place where you actually need to care about how accurately you're representing numbers with IEEE 754, you almost certainly should look at a precise numeric data type instead and should set aside IEEE 754 entirely. It's less common that we think that we need both the range of values that a float or double represent and need those values represented precisely enough to endure aggregation.

It would be nice to be able to give fewer digits to the exponent in a double, though. How often have I really needed 1e308 or 1e-324? How often have I even needed 1e38 or 1e-45? Then again, I don't remember how much precision we'd get back with more digits in the mantissa.

Precision is a really funny thing, too. Remember, pi to ~37 decimal places is precise enough to calculate the circumference of a circle of atoms (~10^-10 m) the size of the observable universe (~10^26 m), as at that point the primary source of imprecision is the fact that you used atoms to construct your circle.
That ad is so cringe, yikes! That being said, I'm happy without that "perfect circle" and wireless AirPods. I understand quality isn't up there with the top .00001% of people that can tell the difference. But I'm ok with that.
This is a really great question. It's not an insurmountable problem, but the compromises need to be understood.

Further, there are lots of things that can be done on the receiver side to smooth out the experience. It is frustrating for customers when a product hasn't thought about how imported content will perform. Often you are left with problems like any edits to the import needing additional fields completed to edit (possibly a significant cost per edit), content can't be fully rendered so appears as an HTML blob in a field, imported data can't be filtered so you can't easily hire someone to fix it without fishing through other data etc.

If you are entering a mature market then importing a competitor's content in a streamlined fashion is a great way to gain adoption and lock in customers. Some markets have lots of competition so you can possibly only target smooth migration of a subset. It shouldn't be an afterthought.
Many artificial dyes use CYMK dye colors to build up to the final color when they are mixed by our eyes. Natural dyes will often truly be that color or a unique combination of non-CYMK colors. The result of this is non pure white light will reflect off the surface of the dyed object in different ways. It's a similar reason many LED lights look different than natural sunlight, with the LED lights using a combination of RGB.
This is clearly something you'd need to see in person to understand before making a statement like that.
Great job with the add. I am in my early forties. I have been doing contract work that has to be bid every 4-5 years. I had considered finding something more stable when I was a little bit younger because I know as you get older in tech it gets harder to find work. I am still doing the contracting because I like the people I work with and stuff. Hopefully it can take me through to retirement!

What part of the market are you targeting? Up market, I worry a lot of system integrations are too custom/modified to really scale an 'easy migration' tool. Think of ERP for the best example but I see this constantly in ecommerce and as headless/microservices become more mature it's only going to get worse.

I'm not clear if you're trying to build an SMB/mid market focused set of scalable migration tools that you either build yourself or have the first few customers offset the dev costs with services OR if you're building an enterprise service business where your scale with automation will be more limited but the TAM would be immensely higher.

"The first step was to integrate the equations of light ray trajectories in Schwarzschild space-time and draw the isoradial curves (i.e. at constant radial distance from the black hole) of a thin disk around the black hole, as they would be seen by an observer above the disk's plane" ....

"The final black and white "photographic" image was obtained from this pattern. Lacking of an appropriate drawing software, I had to create it by hand. Using numerical data from the computer, I drew directly on negative paper with pen and Indian ink,placing dots more densely where the simulation showed more light (a few thousands dots for the full plate). Next, I took the negative of my negative to get the positive, the black points becoming white and the white background becoming black. The result converged into the pleasantly organic, asymmetrical form reproduced in Figure 8, both visually engaging and scientifically revealing."

The big problem with interval arithmetic, stated in terms of probability distributions, isn't that the distributions are uniform, but that the distributions are independent.

The distribution of x-x is the degenerate distribution 0. But the naive implementation of uncertainty propagation would not take into account the dependence between x and x, and would give an over-approximation.

It's true that probability distributions generalize sets, and sets generalize intervals. But there are many applications where intervals are a great choice for representing uncertainty.

Changing a distribution to uniform is not obviously a bad idea because you can parameterize a uniform distribution and represent the parameters compactly.

There is no compact representation for arbitrary distributions.

Not consciously.

My council 100% use car parks as a source of revenue. That the price discourages people is a side effect of supply and demand. Particularly in London where space is at a premium.

Early in Prometheus' life (2011-12), I had really pined for an indexed sparse columnar data store similar to the semantics of what Bigtable provided Google internally for time series storage for many years.

Pre-public-Git repository attempts at Prometheus' data store had used Cassandra in prototyping, but the Thrift protocol, which Cassandra then used, was unfortunately riddled with bugs in the wireformat (how were enums indexed over the wire? turns out it varied by what kind of client you were using even in the same distribution release, which was to me incredulously bad), which resulted in a lot of byzantine bugs. I eventually gave up on Cassandra and settled on a different data model using LevelDB (Levigo bindings). It worked well and was stable and allowed me to not need to worry about:

and

https://danluu.com/deconstruct-files/

I had a feeling in the back of my mind once Prometheus matured a bit it could have fallen back onto Cassandra for distributed series storage (again, ca. 2012 thinking), since it largely could have used an append-only storage model for series archival. Even the metrics metadata (metric families, fields, and indexing) could have been stored in such a way.

It would be fun to revisit these design problems with today's technologies and knowledge.
