Ultimately because I wanted an app.

* I make enough web-based things for my job, and I enjoy developing in Flutter / Dart (what this was built in).

* I’m never realistically going to be looking through names on a desktop; I use the app when I have a few minutes to kill in line or something where I can pull out my phone, decide on a few names, and then go back to what I was doing. I could build it as an offline web-app that gets saved to my device but then why not just build an app in the first place?

* I like using SQL for retrieving data, and I don’t want to have to jump through hoops to do so.
Sure, you could execute them the day after they're convicted. But that would greatly increase the number of people we let the state murder, not to mention the number of innocent people they'd be putting to death. Personally, that's not the type of society I want to be a part of.
When hospitalization rates are down. In many metro areas the ICU are still full of un-vaccinated COVID patients, which means people with normal emergencies can't get a bed.

Thus, COVID precautions are necessary to reduce the rate of infection to levels that do not overwhelm the healthcare system.

And all those areas that have "returned to normal" are sending their COVID patients to regions that are still masking because they've exhausted their local ICU capacity.
I've always loved the term "baby name". Makes it seem like you grow out of it eventually and have to switch to an adult name like "Roger" or "Raymond".
Holy crap this is powerful. Is the company simlarity done using a clustering measurement on the corpus of language in the patents? I can't think of a product manager whose job does will not depend on this.
True fact: proper sleep/wake on lid close is probably 40% of why I switched from Windows to Mac in about 1999 -- and that was when the Mac was on OS 9, not the BSD-based OSX.

I can't imagine going to a system where it wouldn't work. That's baseline, out of the box functionality for me.
This problem is so severe, that Tunisia recently required all "imported" phones to be registered [0] with the state within 3 months or they can't use the phone network.
I guess that moved the incentives towards iWatches and iPads and such.

If the drone ended up in Tunisia as well, there is a very good chance that it was confiscated by the police, since drone usage is very restricted all over the country.

Away from the debate about who will or won't take the vaccines and why, isn't this is a huge positive for the small (but not tiny) number of people for whom vaccines don't provoke immune response (severely immunocompromised, etc)? That group are also more vulnerable to bad outcomes from Covid.

Lets ignore the fact that its basically ivermectin with more side effects. Except ivermectin is 30 cent per dose and not under patent..
The first study is clearly underpowered to say anything about the risk after more than around 150 days. This can be seen in figures 2 and S1, where the confidence intervals get larger than the effect size at around this point. Combining multiple age groups together also leads to a large risk of getting incorrect results due to Simpson's paradox [1]. But with so little data, the authors probably couldn't stratify for age groups without the confidence intervals exploding.

A much larger study from the US [2] shows no measurable decline in the protection against hospitalization due to COVID over more than 5 months after vaccination.

Do you mind if I ask so that I understand - would the total number of rounds have added up to seven or nine (i.e. had you finished round four and five before you heard from the second HR person, or only the third)?

Is it your understanding that the new hiring process includes all of these steps, or that you ended up in the middle of both the old and the new one and that there was some overlap?

Anyway, judging from your story it seems to me like they’ve been very disrespectful of your time. I always ask up front what exactly the process will be, and I would’ve taken it as a bad sign if in the middle of it they had come and told me ”oh by the way we’re experimenting with how we’re doing this, we’ll need you to do a few more interviews than we told you earlier”. I don’t have unlimited time on my hands.
if you look for french names I've done this dashboard [1] that shows popularity of french names in France from 1900 to today. It is very slow to load, due to database loading and because heroku is free I guess.

I don't know if ivermectin is efficient, but I doubt it has substantial side-effects.

Your first link states that ivermectin is "proved to be safe at the conventional dose, although severe adverse effects have occasionally been reported". Occasional is not "substantial". Your second link does not work for me.

I wish I could find the time to meditate for more than 10-20 minutes everyday. But between family, sleep, exercise, work, hobbies, friends, etc., it's difficult to do it, unless I sacrifice something else. It seems like it's part of the problem: feeling that you have too many things to do will lead to the impression that time passes too quickly.

But I can definitely believe that the more you meditate, the more you will experience things differently. My 10-day vipassana course was already an intense experience compared to meditating 10-20 minutes every day!
Yes, a system with so many false positives will be ignored by users. Warnings should only occur if a genuine problem is detected.

Ideally we'd all use an append-only merkle log ala certificate transparency to lookup public keys. This is much harder to MITM, and you can do lookups over onion routing to make it even harder. Of course, if your identifiers have PII (like phone numbers in Signal and Whatsapp) this is not going to fly, but that's the bed they made for themselves.
The title is all marketing. What’s the control?

> The rates of hospitalization or death in the Paxlovid and control arms were 1% and 6.7%, respectively, resulting in a risk reduction of 85%.
Most people that get COVID don’t go to the hospital nor do they die. How much is from a null hypothesis; people who wouldn’t have complications anyway? It’s barely significant if you use 5% as the minimum, and it can still be noise. Vaccinated people are not going to have complications like this anyway. People care about not getting infected, this treatment is inferior to monoclonal antibodies and not barely significantly different from control.
What do you actually use that information for?

I've tried to get into this stuff, but I've found it completely useless for making any sort of impact on my day-to-day. I could see it being useful for athletes looking to hit their peak, but as a dude that just wants to bike and ski for fun, I get all of the information I need by just asking: "How am I feeling and what contributed to this".

The metrics are all just noise. That basically come down to:

* Have I been eating well?

* What have I consumed that's "terrible" for me (drinking, unhealthy food, etc)?

* Have I exercised recently?
Ah, software certificates. A present nobody asked for...
I'm guessing you only get this pill if you're hospitalized with severe symptoms. In which case, you're still occupying hospital beds/resources, which is the main remaining threat to rational society.

wow thanks so much for this. So so happy that you guys made it into the next batch, you are such legends !
I see that is is Open Source, which is awesome. Would you consider distributing it on fdroid?
> Depending on how long has passed after your vaccine, what variation of virus you will get, how old you are and etc will depend if it is more like 5% or 1% or so.

This is fear-mongering. There is no example of a risk of death post-vaccination that gets this high. The few studies that document a decline in efficacy show a modest decline, against symptomatic illness. The vaccines remain highly effective against severe disease and death.
> Honestly I have no idea if children suffer from long-COVID: either how badly or what percentage of cases but a cursory search suggests that they do.

Here's a study on it:

https://assets.researchsquare.com/files/rs-798316/v1/8248091...

Hazard ratios are in the ballpark of 2 or less, with the exception of "loss of smell". The vaccines only reduce that ratio by about 50%, going by this data:

Slight tangent - but back in the day while I was attending university I started turning in all my engineering assignments using MathCAD. MathCAD occupied this weird space of a living document for math with additional Mathematica like functionality for symbolic manipulation. I certainly don't feel to this day like I lost anything vs doing everything tediously by hand 100% of the time.

My professors liked it so much they standardized on it and licensed the student edition for the entire department.
This feels to me like blaming urls for bad urls and cash for bad cash!

A strange form of blaming that discredits other future pronouncements from the FBI. How many times can they cry wolf?
Do you honestly believe all site scraper people/companies are ethical enough to go to whoever pays /them/ to scrape data from a competitor's site and say "oh they offer an API to access this data let's pay for that", instead of "why pay for that data when we can scrape it right off their site"?

Also, not all types of company will provide API endpoints. It all depends on the type of site - for example, an online shop might not wish to provide easily accessible data on offered products and prices, to their competitors who may wish to undercut them. Why would an online shop do that?
I'm also REALLY not a fan of the grammar recommendations where it suggests edits "for clarity" while subtly shifting the meaning. Unfortunately, I think the reccomendations will become self-fulfilling: By forcing people to converge on a certain style of very simple grammatical constructions in standard writing tools, that WILL become a de-facto standard and deviating from it will make your writing less familiar and less clear.
There are still snags with that.

Stuff like redirect resolution is very easy to overlook. You may think you're fetching 1 URL per second, but if you are using the wrong tool and you're on a server that has you bouncing around like in a pinball machine and takes you through a dozen redirects for every request, the reality may be closer to 10 requests per second.

On top of that, sometimes the same server has multiple domains. Sometimes the same IP-address serves a large number of servers (maybe it's a CDN).
Pacman now tells you when there is an announcement in the website. Most of this announcements are due some issue introduced in a package. I haven't faced all of them as usually they resolved quickly and when I update the system the new packages solves the issue. Rarely there has been a breaking change in a package that needed some easy manual intervention. I have maybe done this line 5 or 6 times in 15 years. Compared to Ubuntu, I find it upgrading process more tedious (I haven't tried it in the last year's so maybe now is better).
Said that, probably i won't use arch for a production environment and stick to Ubuntu, but for home/work system, I love it

Mermaid is cool. Excalidraw has fantastic obsidian integration too though!
NYC's vaccination rate is trending towards 75%, and life is essentially back to normal with the addition of vaccine requirements for indoor dining and events (which strikes me as perfectly reasonable, given that we have a large tourism industry).
"Static site" is a bit of a misnomer, it refers to the webserver's view not the clients view. The client can still dynamically request chunks of information, favorite things, sorts things, save things between sessions, and form dynamic connections (though you'd need to point to a 3rd party signaling server for the WebRTC connection to come up).

I.e. it's not the web page that is static rather the files to host the web page are static vs say being a php site dynamically generating responses based on user/session/request information.

"Graph" as used in "Graph Query Language" and "Graph Database" is synonymous.

The bigger problem comes from naive practitioners using a word and insisting to novices it has one exclusive meaning when it plainly doesn't.

"Lambda" is not a protected mathematical term. It's a Greek letter (and 500 other things besides)! The fact that 'lambda calculus' is a recognizable concept is itself a consequence of the language evolution you're complaining about.
Spoiler alert: the mechanism of action of pfizermectin is the same as ivermectin, even though they're different drugs. How did Pfizer think of using this non-obvious mechanism of action?
People act astonished the COVID vaccines aren't perfect. You mentioning universal vaccination is such a key point. Let's look at smallpox.

We eliminated smallpox. Amazing! Yet, first, the smallpox vaccine wasn't perfect. It was 95% effective against infection. I would bet it's actually less than that. They probably mean symptomatic infection, because who was widely testing asymptomatic vaccinated people for smallpox? In contrast, symptomatic smallpox patients are pretty obviously and unambiguously infected with smallpox.

Second, what's particularly interesting is if you were the only smallpox-vaccinated person in a house of a couple others, the vaccine efficacy fell to about two thirds.

This isn't a world apart from the COVID vaccines. Two doses protects you 92-95% against severe disease. And two doses reduces the rate of transmission, if you end up infected, by 50% (this was 80%, pre Delta).

As I said, people act astonished the COVID vaccines aren't perfect. In reality, they're just focusing on COVID efficacy in ways they never have with other vaccines. The COVID vaccines are substantially more effective than your typical seasonal flu jag, or the BCG. COVID vaccines are not a world apart in efficacy than the Smallpox vaccine—and we beat smallpox! Smallpox elimination required universal vaccination, but we managed.
But how do you know if it should be an app? It seems like we need a ShouldThisBeAnApp app where you can upload screenshots, descriptions, API diagrams, etc. and allow AI + community input to make the determination.

That vaccines reduce spread significantly is possible, and we can hope that they do, but it is not proven yet.

Haha, I love it! Our first kid was code-named “baby thunder” before being born (we delayed telling some friends so we wouldn’t steal their “baby thunder”). The name stuck around for a couple months after she was born before we trailed off using it, so it really was her “baby name” :p
Unless it were to change something in the body while it was still active, and those changes didn't show any signs for a long time.

I'm just playing devil's advocate, but it doesn't seem impossible.
Everybody knows that the amount of time one should spend "splitting a string in C# by a delimiter" is 2 minutes 16 seconds. More than that and it's a "red flag".

Unless you have a significant number of people working in your office over 70 years old, or if half of your colleagues are at least 60, it's more likely that nobody will die than 4-5.
I don't think you can smell ozone - it's rather noxious. I think what you can smell as "thunderstorm" is the air cleaned a bit by ozone and the process of ionization (which traps some bigger particles).
Well, they are both protease inhibitors. It is quite plausible that if this drug works that ivermectin also does indeed work. But this isn't new information and every time I post it I get downvoted for spreading "misinformation".

But big pharma would never skip an existing, cheap, off patent treatment in lieu of guaranteed multi-billion dollar, liability free vaccine contracts, right? We can totally trust these guys, it's a pandemic after all, how low would you need to stoop to use that as an excuse to make billions of risk free dollars? It's completely implausible that for example, the former FDA commissioner, who now sits on Pfizer's board of directors along with the CEO of Reuters, would pressure the FDA to ignore an existing, safe, cheap medication to instead pursue vaccines based on a novel, widely applicable tech ology and new, expensive, patentable medication. We're only talking tens of billions of guaranteed, risk free dollars here, contractually free of any liability.

Nope, no need to worry about regulatory capture, about self serving past mistakes that harmed hundreds of thousands of people in the past on behalf of characters like Fauci (see his AIDS debacle), no, its totally impossible, this is a global pandemic after all and industrial executives are known to be shining beacons of honesty.
My interpretation of the descriptions in the list was not that the author was endorsing the entire product/company, but describing a particular feature or aspect of a product that illustrated calm technology principles. The Roomba's chirps are a good illustration of calm technology even if its telemetry is problematic.

If the threshold for examples is that every aspect of the product must be designed well, require minimal user attention, respect privacy, fully controlled by the end user, and does not require a companion app then the list would be significantly shorter and probably less informative. (I'd struggle to come up with any well-known digital products that fit the bill.)
The study was for patients “who were at high risk of progressing to severe illness”, where the hospitalization/death rate was 6.7% without it and 1% with. You probably wouldn’t give it out to everyone but that’s the kind of risk decision doctors make routinely.
That used to be the case in some culture, like the Chinese one.
You might want to remove similar characters from your codes to share. For instance, is the first character in your app screenshot a zero or an oh?

Also standardizing on capitals IMO would help.
Thanks for the productive response. I was using Watchtower in Docker Compose on all instances, but I had it misconfigured. My fault for assuming auto updates were working without verifying, lesson learned.
I fidn many mirrorless cameras don't have anywhere near as good physical handling characteristics. I am a Canon guy and I'd rather deal with my full size dslr over my tiny canon mirrorless...and it's not like the mirrorless is small once you add a 17-40. Or 24-70 on to it. They're just not as ergonomic and convenient to stabilize - I use a shoulder stabilized style when using a 70-200 and just can't pull it off with a mirrorless camera.

The mirrorless cam tends to just be a travel camera and only sees the 14mm pancake lens on it most of the time.
Yes but the violence was only in select pockets of inner city culture. The gangsta culture was exported to kids living in perfectly fine neighborhoods. Their parents were away working for corporations (more corporatism) while the kids who were raised by public schools and the street were most susceptible.

I think we’re splitting hairs here about terminology. You say that long covid is a fabrication but people can have effects lasting months after recovery. And maybe I’m not using long-COVID in a standard way.

But what I’m fundamentally saying is that if one of the potential benefits is me NOT feeling like garbage for a month or more then I think that shoulder enter into the risk-benefit calculus.
I don't know but I haven't had a cold or any other infection in 18 months so I hope that wearing masks on trains, planes and buses stays forever. Also, shaking hands was always barbaric and I don't miss that, either.
It’s sort of true. Strictly speaking, it’s true, but it’s mostly to prevent weird people from naming their kid “X Æ A-12” or “Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116” (yes, really).
If unvaccinated people all died or went to the hospital it would be impressive, the title is misleading or lying about it’s effectiveness. The null hypothesis would probably neutralize it’s effectiveness. They don’t use infection prevention which would be much higher for unvaccinated because in reality it’s probably not very effective against COVID. The control we also don’t know any statistics about.
I love that you implemented scrabble score. Not even legal to play, but fun none the less!
Yes! I still haven’t found time to do so for my other app (Time Cop), but I should probably just get my butt in gear and figure it out.
