Is that their actual cost or are they subsidized?

Also, I thought that even with symptoms the false positive rate was about 30% for rapid tests. If so, just that would possibly offset the effect of the best currently known treatment which based on the OPs website is fluvoxamine and the study here says a 32% reduction. But if about 30% of people who have Covid think they don't because of the false positive rate of the rapid test, they won't take the drug early enough and that could offset the effects.

And there's all the other issues I brought up too. I still feel even with cheap rapid tests, I'm not sure those are effective and practical enough to bet on them over vaccines.

I absolutely think it's great as a complimentary and multi-targeted strategy to fight Covid though. And in some countries without access to vaccines, if fluvoxamine is available, it definitely seems like it can help save some lives, and that's a great thing. It just seems far from a panacea, while vaccines honestly are feeling very close to be a panacea.

I think what's more interesting to me with these, is that they can possibly lead to an understanding of the mechanisms at play that create or mitigate hospitalization, and maybe with that understanding we could pin point some new drugs that targets those more aggressively. Definitely hoping to see more research there.
Most AGPL programs have an endpoint that serves the source code they're currently running, right? Did they disable this endpoint in their fork?

In any event, hopefully they get sued, since this will be a great test case for the AGPL.

People have indeed been saying that this might work, how it would work, that it appeared that it did work, and that it urgently needed studying for a quite some time.

There was also indeed a French observational study that showed that people on SSRIs did notably better among those hospitalized for COVID. And a few other smaller studies.

I’d suggest looking towards Dr. Angela Reiersen and Dr. Farid Jalali and see if their words haven’t been making consistent sense for a while now.
These are all tokens that wrap other tokens, in this case, USD stablecoins.

1. You take a stablecoin like DAI or USDC and deposit with Yearn, who in turn lend it out and earn interest. You receive yDAI or yUSDC tokens in return which can be redeemed for the original deposit plus accrued interest.

2. You take your yDAI and deposit that into a Curve pool which is a decentralized exchange specializing in stablecoins. There is a pool that allows swapping between yDAI and yUSDC (and two others). If you deposit in this pool, you get a generic yUSD token that represents your claim to the pool’s assets and fees.

3. You look at your yUSD not content with the financial alchemy you’ve performed so far and think “what can I do with this securitized certificate of deposit?” Fear not, Yearn has a “vault” (lending strategy) specifically for yUSD. You praise the degenerate ape overlords and deposit to earn even more interest on your boring dollars. In return you receive yUSDVault tokens.

4. Not content, you begin to wonder why stop with yUSDVault. Are there any other strangers you can lend your rehypothecated certificate of deposit to? Yes! Cream finance will happily issue you their version of yUSD called cryUSD against your yUSDVault collateral…party on Wayne!

5. Now, Cream aren’t your typical boring bank that incinerate their money on synthetic CDOs and the like. These cryUSD tokens that they issue, can also be used as collateral to borrow other things! Hooray! But in order to value cryUSD, Cream needs to figure out how much the underlying yUSDVault tokens are worth. To do this, they need to figure out how much yUSD each yUSDVault token has claim to, and then multiply by the yUSD price.

6. It just so turns out that if you borrow a bunch of yUSDVault in a flash loan, and then redeem it for yUSD, you can get the balance of the yUSDVault very low. Let’s say you did this and left the yUSDVault balance very low (say, $8m). This is not a problem in itself, as these tokens are designed to be redeemed.

7. Well, knowing what we know from step 5, a clever trader realizes that if they do all of the above, and then borrow some yUSD (say $8m) and just donate it to the yUSDVault, when Cream goes to calculate how much cryUSDVault is worth, it will have immediately doubled in value, because some generous donor has just doubled the balance of yUSD owned by yUSDVault (and doubling the borrowing power of cryUSDVault in the process). So if you had flash borrowed a bunch of cryUSDVault (say $1.5b) against flash borrowed collateral (say $2b of ETH), you just now managed to double the value of your loaned assets to $3b but you’ve only posted $2b of collateral.

8. Normally a borrower’s collateral would be liquidated well before being underwater, but in this case everything is happening atomically inside a single transaction.

9. So the smart trader takes her $3b of cryUSDVault, borrows a bunch of other stuff to repay the $2b flash loan, which leaves her with $1b of collateral to borrow a bunch of other stuff (and ultimately default on).
I think Meta here is a ancient Greek term honestly, though it is in use in English as well.

Welcome to the Circular Logic Merry Go Round, where we need to ban people because they're wrong because of course they're wrong, they were banned on twitter....
The problem here is not that "fireman" couldn't in theory be used to refer to both men and women; but that in English it doesn't, or at least not anymore.

Historically, the masculine noun class has been used in gender-indeterminate places, but about 100 years ago that usage stared to disappear from the language, or at least become argot. The phrase "I am no man" in the Lord or the Rings is a play on this disappearance.

In English, this disappearance happened alongside a similar change in gender roles; however, in a lot of European languages the social changes occurred, but the linguistic changes did not (and non-European languages often have quite different kinds of noun classes).
Just some wild speculation..

Would faceid on a laptop offer something that touchid didn’t? It seems like touch-id might be better for many of the same reasons people give for having fingerprint sensors on the back of android phones.

As an anecdote: people like me use a laptop in a multi-display setup, the smaller laptop screen faces my side: good for touch-id, less so for face-id. The problem is worsened as I don’t sit close to said screens - faceid would likely fail for being too far away or simply miss my head entirely.
>Globally, the attention economy might increase more as more people come online, but that's a finite limit, too.

Well, a human's time is finite. To get more human time on the platform, you need to have more humans and/or a bigger share of one human's time.

Getting more people online has been facebook's playbook (deals with telcos, internet for everyone, etc). Getting a bigger share has also been in the playbook (engagement, notifications, etc).

For the next level of getting a bigger share of someone's time, however, you want to insert yourself in every hour of their daily life, not just entertainment. Insert yourself in their leisure time, in their working time, in their dreams. That's where VR/AR come to play, in my opinion, to make people spend as much of the finite time they are allocated on the platform.
Agreed. And let's also consider the fact that much of Apple's success is due to the failure of other competitors (Google, Samsung, Microsoft, etc.) in offering products that don't suck.

> These 10 clients, are also the ones that are going to allow me to raise capital from a VC.

Be careful -- that is a common(?) way for VCs to also say no -- "come back when you have 10 clients" which next time becomes "come back when you have 50 clients" and it goes on forever. Not saying that is the case here, but, don't put all your eggs in one basket that you will be ready to raise when you have 10 clients.

More realistically, because the technology could turn eggs into a manufactured resource, it could supercharge the path to designer children. If doctors can make a thousand eggs for a patient, they’ll also be able to fertilize all of them and test to find the best resulting embryos, scoring their genes for future health or intelligence.

Better still you can do it iteratively. Take cells from one person and turn them into a few hundred eggs. Take cells from a second person and turn them into sperm (or conceivably the same person.) Fertilize the eggs with the sperm, grow them out to blastocysts, biopsy, and sequence. Pick the embryo with the most desirable genotype score, turn the rest of the blastocyst’s cells into sperm and eggs. Rinse and repeat. You’ll end up converging towards the highest genotype score possible given the parental material.

Edit: you probably want to use two embryos in each round to avoid a local maxima. I’m sure someone will work out the math when the time comes.

> I dislike the term "gender" in linguistics.

I think you have it backwards. The term “gender” meant grammatical gender, i.e. noun classes, before being extended by analogy to the current meaning.
But really, how much more do you want? The US upped the ante several times, developing all kinds of more advanced super weapons, as well as modes of delivery, the first long range bombers, the Hydrogen bomb, ICBM's, MIRV, the Neutron bomb ...

"There is no gravity in outer space. Gravity ends at the top of Earth's atmosphere. That's why astronauts in the ISS are weightless."

Simple and concise. Easily understood by little kids. Textbooks in the 1950s actually taught this "fact." What could be the problem?

It's not "simplified," instead IT'S WRONG...

...and it creates a massive physics-misconception, where if a student actually believed it, later they'd have enormous trouble in physics classes. (Also, if they later became a teacher, then they'd give all their students the same destructive misconception. If later they became a textbook author for K6 grades, millions of students would become infected! Heh, education is a viral effect: a meme-spreading process, and "mental diseases" like the above are common.)

The the brain is the most complex object we know of. Therefore, throughout history, it’s always been compared to the most complex technology of each historical era. “ Descartes thought that the brain was a kind of hydraulic pump, propelling the spirits of the nervous system through the body. Freud compared the brain to a steam engine.” And today we have computational neuroscience. That doesn’t mean that these models aren’t useful. Many discoveries came about from thinking about the brain as an engine, and now as a computer. But these models are just models. They are refined and become closer to the reality that we observe in the brain, but we still have massive gaps in our understanding of the brain. Like the misconception with amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s that was only realized in the past few years. And now with glial cells, which likely make up 80% of the brain (but we’re not even sure). https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/brainwaves/know-your-ne...

Glial cells were largely ignored, and thought to only protect neurons with myelin, but we’re now realizing how important they actually are for cognition and memory. And computational models and neural networks don’t even take glial cells into account when forming models.

Indeed. It’s good at this point to trace why fluvoxamine has been part of those recommendations – it’s based on theory and studies, the same previous work as this current, larger, and better powered study is based on.

(The criticism of the protocols is warranted however, and is partly a separate matter.)

This comes into the forced language changes like "LatinX". On paper, changes like this are fine, but in use they only wok on paper. In use they still have to be identified as "Soy un LatinX" or "Soy una LatinX" (sorry if my Spanish is a little rusty), but the definitive article is still male or female. While in your example above, Americans (as I am) seem eager to change individual words in a language and culture to bend it to our will and white wash it (and no, I'm not on board with this. Deleting a cultural language won't fix a problem of oppression, which are not limited to cultures with gendered languages), it still does not remove the "gendered" aspects of the language in many cases.
For some reason, “traditionalists” seem, implicitly from their arguments, to think that traditional heterosexual relationships are a horrible torture that no one (or perhaps just no one on a particular side of the asymmetrical relationship) would bear if they weren't the only option fully sanctioned by society.

Multiple genders have 2 advantages.

The first is that by having different pronouns for each gender, when you must use more pronouns in the same sentence, there are good chances that you will be able to use different pronouns so there will be no ambiguity about what the pronouns are referring to.

The grammatical gender is a hashing function, with 2 or 3 buckets in the Indo-European languages but with many more buckets in some languages.

When you are lucky and there are no hash collisions, you use only different pronouns in a sentence, when you are unlucky and there are hash collisions, i.e. nouns with the same gender, you use the same pronoun twice, or even more times, and the sentence becomes ambiguous.

Because this role of the genders is hard to replace, even English has retained the gender for pronouns.

The second role for the genders was for adjectives. By making the adjectives repeat the gender of the noun to which they applied, when there are no hash collisions it is clear to which nouns the adjectives are connected, otherwise, like for pronouns, the sentences remain ambiguous.

This was important in the old languages, with free word order, where the adjectives were not necessarily placed besides their nouns.

English has lost the agreement in adjectives, but this simplification has been paid by the loss of flexibility in word order. English has a much more rigid word order than most other languages.
These days, compilers have gotten so damn smart with their optimizations that using assembly will actually make your code slower unless you really know what you're doing like the original post here.

A few years ago, I was doing Project Euler problems, and one of them had a solution that took about 45 minutes for my C program to solve. I decided that it was an incredibly simple problem, so rewrote it in Assembly.

My assembly solution took an hour to run.

I disassembled my C solution, and couldn't figure out what it was actually doing, though my assembly knowledge is pretty weak.
> Most languages with grammatical gender have a distinct third class

There are thousands of languages. They have all kinds of different noun class systems including none at all. By “most languages” you probably mean “most of the widely-known Indo-European languages”.

This is all well and fine, but if you're going to go commando and update a production system by hand you should have a backup plan in mind before you start.

With SQL, that could be as simple as starting a transaction, doing your commando stuff, and committing it when you are satisfied.

But don't do that. Why are you doing anything like that in production. Why why why.
I think the underlying protocols of the big name crypto like BTC, ETH, etc... are relatively robust - I don't think anyone is doubting those. I think the thing in doubt is the complex applications running in the application space of currencies that support such functionality. These applications can often be nearly as as the underlying protocol with much looser requirements around testing!

Regarding Rich Salz’s closing remark “No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back.", I, for one, have seen this remark made before elsewhere.

it was in Tomas Mraz’s email signature. Mr. Mraz is working as a contractor for OpenSSL Project. His stint was working for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Czech branch as a maintainer of cryptography-related pacakages, but it wasn’t a paid position much less full-time.

Now Mr. Mraz started works recently as a cybersecurity auditor for National Cyber and Information Security Agency, Czechoslovakia (unkib.cz). His first paid security-related job outside of OpenSSL, presumably.

I suspect that there is a indirect jab in there somewhere and not directed against Mr. Mraz either.

I admit that every time I see a CDC study, I wonder if they began the study with their desired end in mind. The CDC has admitted that they lied multiple times; why should I believe their studies?

Edit: I see that this study did begin with the desired end in mind because they have a blurb titled "What are the implications for public health practice?" that says:

> All eligible persons should be vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible, including unvaccinated persons previously infected with SARS-CoV-2.

In other words, these "scientists" decided to comment on public policy in their study. Such an act makes it extremely suspect for several reasons, not least of which the scientists are making a political statement in what is supposed to be a scientific study.
Yeah, it was definitely substandard... Typical "startup" mentality in mgmt. At least we weren't using doors for desks.
But if air is pushed down, then it must continue moving down (much like with a hovering rocket, or a helicopter.)

But this effect does not appear in typical airfoil flow-diagrams. Instead, the air approaches horizontally, and leaves horizontally. It's a symmetrical pattern, as guaranteed by "circulation theory." In these diagrams, the wing doesn't fling any air downwards. (Heh, the same thing happens with helicopters that fly inside a giant vertical pipe, where the blade-tips slide along the inside surface of the pipe.)
