According to this UK COVID Risk Calculator:

https://qcovid.org/Calculation

An average healthy White British male of 66 years (retirement age) has a hospitalisation risk of 1 in 831; death risk of 1 in 2786.

By contrast the yearly risk of death in that age bracket generally, from any cause, is 1 in 42:

COVID is accelerating deaths from existing comorbidities or very old age; based on this data it is not felling healthy workers.

If you get the object ownership and the internal state model wrong (information architecture) facades don't help you.

You can't put an idempotent or pure functional wrapper around a design that isn't re-entrant and expect anything good to come from it. IF you get it to work, it'll be dog slow.
So, China is the worst because of censorship (strictly controlled information), and US is in a bad spot because of too much misinformation (too little control on information).

I'm struggling to understand this "measurement".
Yeah there's a reason that forward attention is the default. Spreading attention to lower probability and lower gravity issues may not be optimal, even if it feels better. I'd guess it's riskier than maintaining attention in the direction of momentum. But it depends on the statistics of autopilot failure.

It's perhaps worth pointing out that they have 2020 at 1% right now, but they also mentioned how they raised 2019 from 1.1% to 2.1% due to new discoveries (your first source mentions this). I question how effectively we can really quantify this if the number can double a year after being reported, at the very least it's hard to say how accurate the initial numbers are. It's probably more accurate to say 1% is a lower bound for 2020, but a lower bound is obviously not that useful.

Perhaps it would be better to try and gather the amount of crypto use that is definitely legitimate, since that would at least give a theoretical upper-bound. Give the assumption that it's such a larger group that may just be too much to work through.

> The real test is whether I can, 3 years after buying the computer, replace the battery more easily than Apple could replace the battery in a Mac

No, the real test is whether you, 3 years after buying the computer, can replace the battery more easily than you could replace it on the Mac. Applecare just covers the cost of a new laptop when your Mac breaks during warranty. "Repair" is a generous way of putting that.
It is when many users are solarpunks living on boats.
Another thing to consider is that, if everyone is reluctant to try the Framework laptop because they're not sure about long-term support, it will never receive said support. I'm willing to take the risk here, for the greater good! I don't even perceive the risk to be that high, to be honest.
In many union scenarios, the company would not be able to let go of workers even for productivity problems - nor would they be able to promote on the basis of ability or skill.

The union decides who gets promoted, demoted - which is usually on the basis of 'time in' - and sets the rates for which jobs (and I mean exactly which jobs, i.e. you don't pick up a tool or do a task unless it's on paper that this task is 'your job').

FYI I'm speaking from the experience of a family member who was a Union Member at a Boeing plant - so this would be a fairly traditional late-20th century style North American Union, similar to auto-sector style unions.
A more simple fix would be to repeal VAT 1234[1] and allow cycles to ride on the roads. If the bike lanes are blocked, then they're useless and cyclists should legally be allowed to ride in the center of the general purpose lane without getting cited for it.

Mass anxiety is not a conspiracy theory but rather a measurable social effect. See social cooling.

I didn't say there is somebody controlling or forcing the population into technocracy. What I meant is that it is inevitable to some degree that tech will continue to shape our society in unexpected and unintended ways.

There's a similar story with speed limits --- the AI that sticks to the limit may become a danger to itself and others if the normal traffic goes faster, and likewise if some weather conditions slow down everyone else, it might be the idiot trying to stay at the limit and being a hazard to others.

In a big picture sense they've managed to reverse engineer this from a message of "quit" (i.e. do not ingest anything, which is what basically all health-based quit campaigns are about) to "stop smoking" where their IQOS system, which uses non-combustable tobacco-in-a-cylindrical-package-with-a-filter tip "HeatSticks" is "not smoking".

If you have a voluntary choice of whether you want to filter out, or not filter out, what you are calling "noise", then in that situation you would be more free, yes.

Here is a real case study: ClubHouse vs Discord.

Clubhouse launched their app first as iOS only and it was native. It took them more than a year to release the Android version. By the time they did that and removed the waitlist, their growth already declined and they were copied to death.

Discord on the other hand released their iOS and Android apps using a cross-platform framework (react native) and have even copied Clubhouse's prime feature (Stages) before Clubhouse could even finish the Android version.

I think that alone tells you that you that Discord is doing something right; even with a tiny team working on the apps rather than what Clubhouse was doing.
Hi Jamie! I thought the article was pretty thoughtful and I'm sorry it's gotten such a mixed response in the comments here.

It was interesting seeing your commentary on Red-Green trees and how they're used. I'm excited at the prospect of a rust-analyzer level of type-checking and correction for TS/JS. As a technical security person, I also see a lot of potential for such tooling to do things like data-flow analysis, which is pretty much the gold standard for detecting things like untrusted input or dangerous interpolation.

Are there plans to support that kind of security tooling in Rome? If not, is there any interest in supporting something like that in it's eventual feature-set?

>the adapters are large enough that there are only 4 but also small enough that making a 2x USB A adapter would be quite challenging.

This was my thought as well, but they're planning on doing more interfaces than what they're listing now, so it may be they went for universibility with the size.

Also USB-A is going to slowly die off anyways, so I doubt it's good to build the dongle standard to two USB-As.

That’s literally a pump and dump. They’re trying to pump the price of the stock to force shorts to repurchase shares, upon which they’ll sell.

This already happened in January but some people didn’t get the memo and still think it’s incredibly shorted
And a huge number of people have done the same thing and completely ignored their surroundings while using AP.

The question isn’t if people reading a book are capable of using auto pilot safely, the question is if people can supervise level 3 self driving systems or if they need to evaluated assuming generally inattentive drivers.

Counterintuitively, the less people have been paying attention when AP is engaged the closer it is to being a level 4 system. Aka if people are catching 90% of potentially fatal mistakes then in level 4 it would be 10x as deadly. Alternatively, if their catching 10% of potentially fatal mistakes it would be almost as safe as a level 4 system.
This is so true!

>They try to extract the most.

Yeah so what? The other side does the same thing and runs into the very same issues. If unions go to far they struggle with job retention. If employers go too far they struggle with employee retention. These forces balance closer to the middle than if you only had one of them.

Now, you know what's stupid? Letting the government become the union of last resort via the minimum wage. The government doesn't negotiate with anyone. It doesn't know what wages are justified. So it will get it wrong. Either it's too low or it's too high. No feedback from the actual economy. With no clue whether it makes things better, worse or simply does nothing (95% of the time).

I'll choose the unions rather than the government.

My current provider offers up-to 1gbps, but I’ve never bothered upgrading from the 100mpbs that was the only thing available when I first signed up. It’s not great, but has been fine for all but a handful of applications that have other bottlenecks besides home internet speed.

The satellite providers I looked at offer 100mpbs for twice the gigabit plan of my current provider, but ’the current provider has shafted me on more than one occasion.
> It feels too dangerous to be a couple feet from all our big SUVs and pickup trucks at 100 kph/55 mph unless you're also going an appreciable fraction of that speed.

Most bike lanes are on city streets where motor vehicles are going anywhere from 0 to 35 mph (0 to 55 km/h). Most people on bikes are going 0 to 20 mph (0 to 30 km/h) which really isn't much slower, so bike lanes or separated paths really don't make sense.

Where traffic is moving faster, you rarely find bike lanes or separated paths.

Actually it IS what it's saying indirectly.

Case law stating that police have ZERO DUTY or LEGAL OBLIGATION to protect goes back to the 1850s. This case is merely the latest is in literally DOZENS of examples of case law saying this.

The Constitution and US case law very literally and repeated has said: "Your own protection is 100% ONLY on you"

And honestly this is why the 2nd amendment still is relevant and universal to all individuals.
Unfortunately, different classes of vehicle have difficulty co-existing on one piece of road infrastructure. I'm going to consider cars, trucks, etc. as high speed/high momentum vehicles and bikes, pedestrians, etc. as low speed/low momentum vehicles.

- High speed, high momentum vehicles are a larger danger to low speed, low momentum vehicles than they are to other high speed vehicles.

- Infrastructure that can be used by high speed vehicles must be designed for high speed vehicles, and that design often conflicts with design decisions that make a piece of infrastructure more useful to low speed vehicles. For instance, roundabouts can alleviate high speed vehicle traffic but pose issues for low speed vehicles.

- Humans aren't rational - segregated infrastructure is much more appealing to users of the low speed vehicles, even if we were to somehow mitigate the risks of desegregated infrastructure.
That can't be supported by many databases, it must be insanely difficult to get that right, is it really used?
I thought it was pretty much a fixed medical aspect of quitting smoking that it would take your body years/decades to regain the ability to regulate adrenaline production properly. That you would suffer occasional adrenaline surges during that period.

Yes, and the vast majority of the time, they're called corporations.

"Do what we want or we'll fire you" is acceptable.

"Give us tax breaks or we'll leave you" is acceptable.

But somehow "Value your employees or we won't work with you" is a bad thing.

Why should collective groups have less power than corporations? We have grown accustomed in America to treating corporations as something between groups of people and actual governments.

They aren't. They're groups of people tied together by money and in that respect they're no different than a coalition of workers who have decided that there are requirements to be met in order to do business.
The misspelling was set in stone
> How do you keep so big part of the population working all their lives otherwise in jobs they don't like if not by necessity?

Why do you need this? I always expected working time to keep decreasing but it doesn't. Humanity generally achieved 8x5 work week but doesn't seem progressing any further. If I had more spare time with same income I would continue my education and spend more time on hobbies, side projects, leisure, fitness and family (all these can still keep people busy contributing to the economy).

> How can you earn as much passive income as possible (landlords, investors)?

Why do you need this? As every normal person I would love to have passive income covering all my needs but "as much passive as possible" sounds like a waste of effort. I only want as much as I can reasonably spend without wasting my time on inventing new problems.
I bought a phone sized ereader and it has really amped up how much I can read. Now when I have a moment to spare I can decide to pull out my phone or my ereader and after a certain time in the afternoon I plug in my phone and leave it so I only consume books or saved items in pocket.

Not a ton to elaborate on, it just isn't precedent.

All jury nullification is is a jury finding someone not guilty despite the fact that they think they did actually commit all the elements of the offense. It doesn't prevent the law from being applied in future trials, even in identical situations (nor do other jury verdicts). It's not even typically known whether or not the jury found not guilty because of nullification or because they didn't find the prosecutions case convincing.
