Why doesnt anyone take the advice of Robert Malone seriously? Or his colleagues? If COVID were a computer virus, and the man behind it, who happens to specialize in antivirus software, was suddenly discredited very recently after infection of computers worldwide, would his opinion be no longer worthy because he failed to go along with the media/mainstream agenda? A mainstream media who's investors might be the same as other competing antivirus companies?

If he had spent his entire career as a computer scientist/software developer, came up with his own language, would we listen to the 'fact checking' of news outlets when they disregard his experience, when they tell us their unassailable facts about the virus?

Not only himself, but other lifetime software developers of antivirus software, who also risk their careers/tenure over their opinions on a computer virus, which the mainstream media seems to know more about than they do? Is this the first time a government (or any government not just the US) has purposely had an ulterior motive - not due to regard for their citizens, but perhaps due to conflicts of interests of their boards of directors. If the government were a large company, would we be so trusting?
Second counterpoint. Incredible improvement in quality of life after turbinate reduction surgery. Air felt a little cold for a couople months, but completely normal now.

Prior symptoms: very difficult to breath through the nose at night, so had to mouthbreathe.
In the very unlikely event it actually had a 0.00% death rate that would be the most likely response (because places would lift all their restrictions). The harder question is what to do if it is milder than delta, but still potentially deadly
You couldn't build most buildings in Tirol in the US due to zoning restrictions. When we lived in Innsbruck, we had an apartment with no parking spot. Here in Bend, there is tons of parking, because people regard automobile storage as more important than places for people to live.
Seems difficult to thoroughly eliminate confounding factors.

Maybe the CCP can do a randomized controlled trial.
Jump in the car, and say "I'm hot" while getting out of parking. Climate control blast the air to optimal temp regardless during first minutes. You adjust it with few taps to you and your passenger. You can even use in some cases camera in the car to point the air to your face. And yeah, swipes gesture also work on the screen, so you can adjust temp without looking at screen, even thought voice is much intuitive.
How much 'radical transparency' in a workplace is too much?
"There is no reason not to put MVHR in normal houses"

There's no reason in new normal houses, but it is very often impossible to do it sensibly in the existing housing stock.

But then there is no reason houses shouldn't be built in factories, shipped to site and assembled. After all we already do that for hotels and the like. Yet that hasn't happened yet either.
By select handsets, I assume any big name handset, e.g. iPhone, Pixel, Galaxy, would be allowed, but a no-name handset wouldn't be allowed?

Isn't this similar to the pre-iPhone days, when if you brought an overseas GSM phone you had to go through some hoops to get it activated with Cingular/T-Mobile? I remember getting handsets from China and Europe and the reseller would have to circumvent something to get it activated on the networks.
> It costs about the same to fit as a central heating system.

Far less actually, if you use natural convection to carry the air from the inlet to the pickup points. A central heating system is a lot more expensive than your average heat exchanger+fan and a couple of pickup points and a central outlet.

New buildings in NL have these installed as standard now, mostly to combat the fungi and other humidity related problems associated with insulating a house completely.
Real lockdowns have never been tried!
I don’t want to assume ages, so: there was a time way before the app store where installing an app on a mac was as easy as clicking download and extracting the “file” (it was actually a folder, just like current mac apps). Trying it out only needed a double-clicking on the resulting icon.

No install script, no pkg files, no hidden prefs, nothing.

Want to uninstall it? Drag it to trash.

It was only when Apple started to be affected by mac piracy that they started down the road of restricting everything and when they started making real money selling their own content on their own platform (music then movies through iTunes) they hit the friggin gas.
Some of them actually do highlight specific changes, but Lego Group isn't consistent about it, even in sets of similar scale released around the same time.

For example, the instructions in the Lego UCS A-Wing from 2020 don't highlight changes; the Space Shuttle Discovery (released 2021) instructions do (with a red outline around the pieces added). The Shuttle set's a bit bigger, but the two sets are fairly similar in terms of scale and build complexity; it seems that it's really up to the designer to decide how explicit the instructions are (whether or not things are highlighted, how many things happen in each step, when specific parts are called out with arrows, etc.).
The reason for these is probabaly the extreme depths from which water is pumped. The normal shallow ground waters arent this bad with arsenic I would assume.
> and the lines just getting absolutely ridiculous

Leave the US.

I worked at a mountain in the US where it was quite normal to have a line from 30 minutes before opening until after closing. I would load passengers on every single chair, all day, every day.

I moved up to Canada. It was quite common to go 15-20 minutes without a single person getting on my lift. I regularly ski runs and don't see a single person for the entire run. I often only cross/see my own tracks.

Leave those crowds behind.
Flowing text is almost never wrapped that way: I make a reference to handling of "widow" words above, and they're very undesired in typeset text.

Getting to know those simple gotchas about where to avoid line breaking can help with both prose and code writing.
I think the Greek letter Xi is where we'll hit real trouble. "zai", "k'see", and "she" are all likely ways people will pronounce the letter.

I think most Americans have at this point enough exposure to news about China that they'd pronounce it "she", as if it were pinyin. In the fraternity/sorority system, I think most people pronounce it "zai", but my understanding is "k'see" or "ke-see" is closer to classical (and perhaps modern) Greek pronunciation.

I had an analogue control systems professor with a very strong accent (his catch phrase was "Quitch dewice wuh you choose?") who pronounced Xi close to correctly. I presume a huge chunk of the class (about half of the men, and many women at MIT were in fraternities/sororities/independent living groups at the time) probably dismissed his pronunciation of the Greek due to his accent in English and their prior exposure to the Greek alphabet in the "Greek" living system.
Spot on. That said, there are a lot of vaccine skeptical people in 3rd world countries as well.
I have been using Brave Browser on mobile for accessing YouTube.

It blocks ads, allows playing music in the background, supports making offline YouTube playlists, etc.

Pretty neat, and I don't have to trust other vendors apart from the Brave team, who I already trust.

This app is pretty great too and the price is very reasonable. But still infinite% costlier than free!
>They really botched early covid.

Except they didn't. Enough countries managed to largely contain covid pre-delta based on WHO information that was provide by PRC. Information that was timely relative to how slow many countres implemented basic epidemiologic containment strategies after the fact. Some despite having capability to implement such strategies, and many who unfortunately never had the capability but simply never had a chance considering covid spread before PRC detection. WHO didn't do perfectly, but they did enough considering circumstances. As for influence, PRC influence is commiserate relative to geopolitical power - there isn't a feasible global governance structure where PRC interests won't be accounted for. Otherwise PRC wouldn't have been incentivized to handle covid relatively responsibly compared to SARS.
I grew up in the Rockies in the Wyoming/Montana area. There is absolutely enough open mountain space to open more resorts. There are ski resorts open now that are not doing that well financially.

The problem is not the mountain side ski hills, it’s access to the flow of rich people. Ski resorts 2 hours from the Bozeman airport struggle because that’s too inconvenient.

The ski towns that suffer from these problems are a small minority of ski resorts that meet the criteria of:

- town actually right next to a ski resort (many ski resorts don’t have a convenient town attached)

- airport with commercial flights to major hubs within 45 min to an hour drive at most
You probably confused it with some other car, back seat on model y and 3 equipped with analog handles. Same as your 20th century car.
I share that distrust for a few reasons:

1. They blindly repeated the CCP’s claims that SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t seem to exhibit human to human transmission, as late as mid-January 2020. Remember, there were widespread reports of a pneuomonia-like illness in Wuhan in December. We later learned that scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were hospitalized as early as November. China’s own formal notice to WHO of the outbreak was done at the end of December. Around a week after the WHO provided broken guidance, China publicly announced that there is human to human transmission, and it still took the WHO a week past that to correct their guidance. I just don’t see how the WHO could possibly provide such broken guidance so late and for so long.

2. They allowed the CCP to escape accountability for over a year with their site visit in early 2021. I know they can’t force their way in and rely on UN member states for “power” but I feel like they were willing to happily ignore the possibility of a lab leak instead of pushing hard for a timely investigation on site (applying pressure publicly and seeking help from other nations). After their brief site visit in 2021, Tedros (head of WHO) seemed very ready to rule out a lab leak, and only a small set of brave scientists and investigative journalists have allowed this theory to return to legitimacy and receive the attention it deserves despite being shouted down by the “trust the science” crowd.

3. The WHO has not used their authority/weight as an institution in helpful ways. For example, they have pushed back against travel bans and other such measures that would at least buy countries time. At the end of January 2020, Tedros literally said there was no need for measures that “unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade”. More recently, the WHO has repeatedly claimed that countries seeking to protect their own people first are “hoarding” vaccines, which is absurd.

4. The WHO seems to be very deeply political. Whether it is about sparing the CCP from scrutiny or following “woke” protocol on how to name viruses and variants, they simply don’t feel like a neutral organization. The phrase “trust the science” is so overused that it is essentially meaningless, but the WHO is one of those very organizations that make me think that what we have come to call “science” is very prone to political corruption. They also seem to regularly put China’s interests ahead of the US, despite the US providing 15% of the WHO’s funding (China funds 0.21%).

5. There are other issues with WHO from before COVID. They were simply not as apparent since they didn’t affect Americans. Look at the 2014 Ebola outbreak and how the WHO handled it - by their own admission, they were completely incompetent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_African_Ebola_virus_ep...).
YMMV, but turbinate reduction / septoplasty has led to a huge improvement in my quality of life. No ENS. Been two years since surgery, benefits still persistent just like after surgery.

Life changing, for the better.
>might give me a different sense of perspective than you seem to have.

I've lived in these towns and know lots of these people too. I've never heard one of them seriously complain about Outside Magazine (or similar publications) being responsible for the lack of affordable housing. I mean yeah, I guess they are partly responsible for it in a very round-about way... but you might as well be mad at the internet, ski movies or the Olympic Games. It's a pointless exercise.
This article makes me think about the internet conspiracy that the spanish inquisition invented Rome, which did not exist
It will be weeks until we're certain that Omicron is significantly more transmissible in the uninfected/previously infected/vaccinated
groups than Delta.

But lots of preliminary data suggests it will be. That's why Omicron was designated a variant of concern.
I think this guy has made a pretty compelling case.
https://twitter.com/DrEricDing

What do you think the chances are that Omicron is more than 20% more transmissible among the
1) infected : 85%
2) vaccinated : 80%
3) unvaccinated/uninfected : 75%
--> My nation belongs to my Government, governed by my people. Not a non-transparent, subject-to-corruption international agency

Again: nations should handle their borders.

That means a strong border policy focused on border defense from illegal entry, and reduced, quarantined, and/or eliminated immigration in times of pandemic.

And I disagree with your assessment especially your assertion of "unable". Sure, Some nations will have more difficulty than others-- self-sustainability being the main determining factor in terms of quarantining trade & immigrants.

This idea of a country hiding the pandemic-- Yes, we've already see that with China. And, Trump was attacked for closing down the border, but of course was the rational decision.

_____

Also, you present a false dichotomy: That by strictly controlling borders is mutually exlusive regardign a nationn's submission to globalistic where we give power to agencies subject to the human condition of greed, power-&-financial-corruption, and criminal financial conspiracy (look at the International Olympic Committee and FIFA).

That said, I also hold the view that the United Nations and WHO should not be responsible for owning, claiming power/responsibility over, or enforcing anything upon or within my particular Nation (The United States).

Most YIMBYs are not at all "markets solve all our problems" kinds of people. But this is anything but a free market.

In the case of Loveland, you just have to contend with the snarl of traffic on I70. It's right before the Eisenhower tunnel, so it isn't as bad as Vail or Copper just up the road, but I70 traffic has gotten pretty brutal over the years. I've had routine 1 hour drives to/from a resort turn into 3-4+ hours more often than not.

Wolf Creek makes sense though - that's a bit more of a commitment. Your typical skier is probably going to be there for a few days and not just swinging up for a Saturday (at least coming from the front range.)
This is what they do in Banff National Park in Canada (which has several resorts). You can't buy or rent unless you're a resident who lives full time and/or works in the town.
That's quite curious. I'd probably be someone you'd consider a member of the "80 character mafia", but I am also pretty insistent on long, descriptive variable names.

Good code is readable code (so even if it's bad code, it's clear why it is so). What you lose with 80 character limit, you also win just as much.
Organizations are driven by incentives. The incentives haven’t changed, therefore organizations haven’t learned their lesson.

Second, nations exist to serve their populations. Think xenophobia and racism are bad now? Wait until it’s life or death and a decision is now directly attributable to the deaths of those around you.

“Sorry Aunt Edna, you have to die. A factory worker in Mexico got your vaccine so they can make cars for an American company.”

The WHO is politically controlled by China and that’s not going away. Any proposal to let the WHO have sovereignty over the USA in any form, this is DOA. Without USA, what’s the point?

That said, maybe there are common grounds or infrastructure that can be build collectively, similar to the space station that everyone funds and benefits from in a pre agreed upon way.
In the middle of this book now. So excellent.

Is what you're referring to here called coffin corner? Or is that something else?
I have had the blue angels version for many years. Now that I am old and need reading glasses, the watch has lost its appeal. I still keep it charged and ready to go, though.
If your definition of "colder climate" is around 0°C, ugh-huh. It's −15°C where I live, and it's not even winter. In December-January I expect the usual −30-40°C, with down to −50°C for short periods of time. Open your windows for more than two minutes once every few hours and die.
That's mostly a reflection of available hospital capacity though.
I want Python to be used the same way JS is used. As in a native 3.7 interrupter in Chrome
I could have sworn I saw a dropdown command/search dialog designed by Jeff Raskin as part of The Humane Interface, and demonstrated in PyTHE a Python imeplementation of it.

Can't find any evidence of it, but I can find a 2003 Guido van Rossum review of Jeff Raskin's book "The Humane Interface" in which Raskin mentions LEAP(r) a design for adding search-backwards and search-forwards keys below the spacebar to save people from arrow keys and mouse use, which is demonstrated on the CanonCat computer from 1987 in this[2] video on YouTube.

It sounds like they were referring to cooling air, not heating it. Is there an energy-efficient strategy for that? If not, then it doesn't seem like they were mistaken, just imprecise.
- server-side searching of messages becomes impossible; this essentially breaks message search for most people
- depending on how it's done, it can mean the loss of messages when changing devices (one of the top complaints I hear about signal)
Guido responded and wondered if this could be integrated into github.dev for Python work in the browser without remote compute. That’s a very cool idea, but I wonder if this would work any better with the usual suspects (pandas, numpy, mathplotlib) than the other attempts like pyodide which make more modifications to CPython.

Breaking changes in packages is not exclusive to R, you’re right. But dependency issues kinda is?

Let’s say two competent analysts wrote some code 5 years ago and you need to reproduce it today, one in R and the other in Python. The Python code probably includes a `pip freeze` or some equivalent, but the author of the R code had no equivalent. There’s no good agreed upon solution. And I don’t think I could reasonably fault that R analyst.

Packrat seems to be falling out of favor, I should read more about conda with R.

(The way I’d solve this problem in R is with an MRAN snapshot from 5 years back in a Docker image, but that’s basically accepting I won’t be able to integrate it with more recently written R)
