For better numbers, sort by "Deaths 1M pop" and "Total Cases 1M pop" [1] to see how each state is coming along. You can also click on each state for time graphs. I should add it may be useful to also overlay data from windy.com looking at atmospheric NO2 and PM2.5 levels in a given area. [2] And of course, none of this takes into account the rates per 1M pop of people with pre-existing issues such as T2D, pre-diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome, Morbid Obesity, COPD, asthma, malnutrition, job related lung inflammation such as coal miners, etc... I don't have a good chart for that.

That'll only serve to increase distrust in the FDA. Yeah, it's safe, but also, it's no good for anything. You wonder if that's the purpose of such initiatives, destroying trust in the public authorities to better be able to sell snake oil.

Phoenix apps tend to use Postgres, but not always. We've seen some really interesting use of Erlang's distributed mnesia database. There's even an mnesia Ecto adapter: https://hexdocs.pm/ecto3_mnesia/Ecto.Adapters.Mnesia.html
Postgres can do a form of pub/sub with triggers on table change events, pg_notify. For anything more complicated get Postgres to publish all its changes using Change Data Capture to a Materialize instance. With Materialize, every query can push live updates to an app server, whenever the results change. Debounce a little and push the html, ideally don’t overwrite something the user is editing.

The Materialize folks made a blog post/demo of the materialize->app server->browser pipeline in Python+JS you could follow along with. They have a Postgres CDC implementation too, so hook it all up and it will go.

Most of the farming on the high plains depends on fossil aquifers which are being depleted, or snowmelt-fed rivers. The snow is increasingly falling as rain and/or melting in a big rush in early spring, leaving the rivers dry for more and more of the year.

Farming on the high plains mostly isn't sustainable. Certainly not the way it's done now. Not in the context of climate change.

Linked below are a couple from the well-referenced article I linked above. The differences in fatty acids, vitamins etc. is significant (e.g. 500% increase in CLA in grass fed).

The Vitamin K2 I think is very significant, because of the potential positive effects against inflammation etc. [3] - it comes from bacteria in the cow’s stomach breaking down nutrients in grass.

I'm not going to go down the Ivermectin research hole as I've mostly been avoiding it myself.

But Ivermectin is not just a "dewormer" as the media has been running with to sensationalize things and try to throw shade at Joe Rogan for taking, and is known to have antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, and is known to be safe in proper doses because it's been prescribed to humans for quite some time.

Dr. John Campbell is a highly respected doctor that, since the beginning of this pandemic, has been going over medical studies and data and making them understandable to the general public (I do watch a good handful of his videos, but I've been skipping the Ivermectin ones up until tonight).

The very first video[1] of him going over Ivermectin has a peer-reviewed meta-study that gives moderate-certainty level evidence that when clinicians have given Ivermectin to patients it's resulted in a 62% reduced risk of death compared to not taking it. And honestly that surprised me, up until I watched that tonight I was certain he was going to say it may have had a very mild positive effect and that's all.

[1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j7am9kjMrk

I also know my friend highly respects this guy and watches his videos a lot as well. Probably why he was seeking the prescription in the first place, was after seeing the information from these studies, instead of just "well the FDA hasn't approved it therefore it's poison".

Again I'm not going to dig deeper than that right now, I've already spent most of my limited free time this evening doing this instead of other productive things. But yeah, sure looks like a pharmacist could potentially be doing harm by preventing these prescriptions from fulfilling.

I don't even care about this drug specifically (I've been actively avoiding reading up on it and just threw it in with Hydroxychloroquine as a non-drug up until now). It just bothered me to learn that pharmacists were refusing to fill a prescribed drug.

And after listening to my friend provide his reasoning for wanting to take it in small doses, I figured he had researched this a lot more than I had up to this point and was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
FiveThirtyEight is literally owned by Disney - and should be treated as such. How is FTE determining their "pollster rating"?
> Why do we always have to make people's choices for them? They're grown adults capable of making their own decisions and their own mistakes. If they want to ignore the science and the credibility of the FDA process, they should be free to do so.

Because desperate sick people and their loved ones make excellent marks. Without standards, some doctor or medical company will milk every last penny from someone with the false promise of some sort of hope.

Not to mention second order effects. The more common it is for medicine to be seen not working, the more people will distrust the medical system.
> Consumption of dairy in general is correlated with osteoporosis.

Have some research that supports this?

Consuming dairy (for those who aren't allergic or sensitive) is one of the best ways to get keep calcium and vitamin D intake high, which is pretty important for _preventing_ osteoporosis (see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7353177/ as one example, I'm sure there are many other studies on this).

It seems like it should be possible, eventually, to use a bioengineered organism to grow the tissue (and just cut down on unneeded things like extra brain matter, or eyes, etc), and let immune systems deal with bacteria and infections.

I mean, that's what evolution has already come up with as a solution to this problem. What we would need though is an organism that's far more symbiotic, where we provide security, and food, and protection from the elements, and it provides lots of tissue and hopefully at a good rate if return for input calories (and why not flavor while we're at it).

It's not that far a stretch from some of our domesticated animals, at least with the symbiotic relationships involved. We would just need to ramp that up to 11 and optimize out the parts that we can do more efficiently at scale or that we don't want (like cognitive function and much more than a pain response to keep it from hurting itself).
Quit.

Imagine an industrial life support system, I would venture our medical tech is either there or almost there for it. The hard part where I'd envision the greatest challenge is an artificial immune system that works in the tanks but absolutely won't harm people after the vat grown products are taken out of the loop.

As a bonus this same type of technology could work for growing organs and any other biological part.

I'm an Australian permanent resident.

Aussie Permanent residency doesn't exactly work that way, it depends on certain factors whether you will need to apply for a "returning resident visa" or not.

It does not depend on whether you have been living outside of Australia for an extended period of time. Under certain conditions, you could live outside of Australia for several years and still be able to return without the need to apply for a visa.

I'm not going through the minute details because it would be OT but anyone interested in this topic can look here https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/permanent-resident/ove... and here https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-li...

That is not all one needs to know, there is more than that. It's best to talk to an immigration lawyer in case one is unsure about their travel rights.
Never thought of the contamination factor before. One heck of a ballon burst.

Wouldn’t a different route perhaps be more fruitful? Go for an unapologetically fake meat. 3D printed fibers, fat and protein, with raw materials made by yeast or similar process?

It wouldn’t taste the same, but we could aim for it tasking fine and keep incrementing on that year over year.

Just a layman’s musings of course.
A quick search turns up contradictory results. I imagine it would depend on factors a lot of studies would not cover. As one semi related example, when I was extremely ill I found grass-fed organic meats less acidic and more tolerable than other meats.

I imagine the devil is in the details and this is likely part of why there end up being strong opinions on both sides where people with opposing views feel vehemently that both studies and firsthand experience agree.
The majority of plots are strictly black and white, and I'm interested in how legible they are even when they're showing lots of data.

I feel like there are some techniques that are lost when color is so easy to use.

Also there are some simple touches -- like gridlines that only go as far as they need to (e.g. page 23) -- that would be trivial for a hand-drawn plot but quite difficult in "modern" tooling.
Yeah. It looks more like some sort of advertisement blacklist and not the broad censorship mechanism it is being interpreted as.

It wasn't "written off", it was hushed up. It wasn't "as soon as it might be Russian disinformation", it was as soon as it was obvious how damaging it could be to the political objectives of those who pretend "report the news" if people were aware of this news.

If it's not obvious on its own (de)merits, imagine if it had been information that potentially damaging to Trump. Would it have been "written off" at the first suggestion that it might be disinformation or shouted from the rooftops 24/7 every day until the election? That's the difference between reporting it or not based on "disinformation" or not vs. reporting it or not based on whether it would help or hurt the candidate you are campaigning for.
Time for a basic economics lesson.

No shortage is needed, only multiple employers. Let's do the math:

Your productivity is worth $100k to an employer. Your current employer (A) pays you $80k.

That means another employer (B) can offer you $85k, and make a profit of $15k/year, while A loses $20k/year, and you gain $5k/year.

A bit simplified, but the idea should be clear.

Realtime applications. Anything having to do with video & audio mixing or interaction (WebRTC, VoIP, AR/XR, NLU, Gaming, etc...) Having those as close to the end consumers as possible can dramatically improve the experience and make them far more engaging/enjoyable.

In fact, it's critical enough in many applications that clients may want to access the services in the same cloud they use /as well as/ in the same region (or potentially in their own data center.) So that means designing the systems to deploy on any cloud provider.

While this does limit the number of niceties you can use from a single provider, it allows for some pretty amazing flexibility.
The meat industry is also cost effective due to massive government subsidies, at least in the US. Would these subsidies be available to lab grown meat operations?
In NorCal there would be more demand for “better” cow products from local grass-fed cows/steers, even if more expensive, right? Some of those West Marin cows have a heck of a nice ocean view while they graze.
One cool feature of Visual Studio Code notebooks is you can set VSCode as the default "opener" for .ipynb files, which allows you to open notebooks using double click.

I’m confirming that I could not eat a beyond burger because the burger was too close to the taste of real meat and my tastes have drifted.

its typical though to spike cell culture media with antibiotics to avoid bacterial contamination. i did a ctrl-f within the OP article as well as the 50 page pdf but i haven't seen 'antibiotic' mentioned at least. I suppose its always possible you get some bateria thats resistant to your antibiotic, but people have been using penstrep in their media for decades now and that hasn't been a huge concern thus far at least in lab environments following sterile technique.
Of course, higher echelons have nobler motives to switch off reality by getting high, or better to blow their ego out of their brain, than rank and file.

Huh. I never knew it never worked with AirPlay, as I rarely ever use Spotify.

> one big benefit of, say, iCloud photos is that I pay a monthly fee then I never have to think about it

Just to offer up a real-world counter-example, I once ran into a syncing issue with iCloud Photos where my family members stopped receiving any new photos that I posted to a shared album. I tried a few different things to get it to sync properly again, like logging out and back into icloud on my device, etc. It was basically impossible to debug because the whole syncing process is completely opaque to the user in Apple Photos. After about a month I was very nearly on the verge of ditching iCloud for photo sharing completely, and then one day it started working again just as mysteriously as it stopped.

I agree with your broader point that iCloud generally requires less effort to set up and manage than rsync. But in this particular case I would have really loved to be running rsync, because I could have easily debugged it.

Dieting is hard and sticking to a routine that consists of eating less than your body craves for requires a lot of willpower.

Yes, measuring a calorie is not easy and if you find out after counting calories for a few months that you didn't loose fat then probably drop your intake a little further, until you see the desired results.
A calorie is just a universal measure, but in the end you can use whatever measure you want (cups of rice, grams of potatoes, slices of cheese, mug of milk, egg) to measure your food intake.
If 2 cups of rice and 3 eggs won't cause weight loss then try 1 1/2 cups of rice and 2 eggs next time...
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I actually prefer to start from (nearly) scratch on a new machine as it gets rid of all the accumulated cruft. I use github + stow for my dotfiles, firefox sync for syncing browser history, bookmarks, etc and rclone + backblaze for backing up whatever is important enough. Beyond that, I don't care if I lose anything on the old machine.

The current health care system sucks.

And it doesn’t require a free market to refrain from using “bad places.” I avoid the “bad DMV” like the plague - and that’s a branch of the state government.

Regarding free market health care. It can be done - a good example is Canada.

In Canada, health care is free to patients. The state pays doctors directly. The prices are set by the state, so doctors compete on quality/patient preference.

In America, almost all hospitals are nominally nonprofit (religious, university, etc). In Canada they are often for-profit (there are quite a few public ones too.)

Patients can see whoever they want. Good hospitals get patients, bad ones don’t.

Good hospitals make profits, while bad ones don’t.

That seems like a good system to me.

My Canadian relatives love it. The comparison I made is really just me paraphrasing them.

You've employed a strawman fallacy; you took a policy which is on its face pretty reasonable:

"be mindful to provide enough information so viewers understand the context"

and hyperbolized it, to put it mildly, into: "you are forced to write some commentary explaining what it's about and assuring everyone that you aren't..."

Context is the opposite of "an explicit statement spelling it all out."

Maybe I post photos of a vacation trip somewhere there was a car with an ISIS logo on it. The information and context they are talking about would be "2020 Vacation photos" for the album title and it being accompanied by pictures of sunsets, my partner, birbs, etc. that make it plainly obvious it just is a random car in my vacation photos.

Yeah, I know the thought of semi brainless cows all hooked up to some machine, Matrix-style, may seem like a horror show to many, but from my perspective, it's the ethical thing to do. The primary reason I try to cut down on eating meat is from an animal rights perspective - I just can't grok the cognitive dissonance it takes to ooh and ahh over the cute, "human-like" reactions of, say, a cow getting a backscratch on r/aww, while simultaneously munching down on a burger.

If I could eat meat from a creature that I knew felt no pain and basically had no higher emotions at all, I wouldn't have an ethical dilemma over it.
Audius as an idea is really interesting. I hope something like a decentralized streaming service really takes off
There are a variety of unique constituents of dairy fat not found in most other saturated fats, including most meats and seeds. The odd-chain fatty acids are one example. Short-chain fatty acids are another. Conjugated linoleic acid and vaccenic acid are technically trans fats, but they're polyunsaturated, and studies in animal models suggest beneficial effects — the main post-hydrogenation trans fat eliadic acid is monounsaturated and linked to heart problems. SCFAs may increase fat metabolism (this is dubious).

So it's plausible that dairy fat may have effects different from saturated fat on the whole.
