Incubation period varies, and is probably best modelled as a Gaussian function.

Some cases will incubate nearly right away, and others will take more than the 2-3 weeks that are often used as quarantine periods. Getting to the 95th or 99th percentile is not the same thing as getting to the 100th percentile.

This is one of the reasons that a covid-zero strategy is effectively unimplementable.

We have looked at these before. Modern CPUs have a RAS, and you dont want to mess with that. But there are ways to implement this, and some papers that cover the performance impact.

We'd need a very motivated individual to add support for this to LLVM and Cranelift.
I bought a bunch of Sansa Clip+ when they were being discontinued because they were dirt cheap and with Rockbox and a huge sdcard, they "rocked". My last one died about a year ago :(

I didn't go for the Agptek because they can't run RockBox, and I got bitten very badly by the awful ui on a Shanling player. So I bought a teensy Jelly Pro and hacked it into my favourite ever mp3 player.
Given the similarities of information consumption and habits/addiction, have you tried going cold turkey for a day, two, a week? Realistically a week should be nothing in the grand scheme of things.

During that period you could replace the time you would use to watch videos, play games, etc with anything that doesn't involve consuming information.

The goal would be to become bored once again and that way regain control over one's attention in order to be able to apply or withhold it intentionally, kind of like how it used to be when there was no internet and no digital devices surrounding you 24/7.

Then, when control over attention is established, you could work from there, no longer being so torn towards that passive entertainment (in disguise).

Good luck :)
Acknowledging that some people picked up a skill with little effort and others will need to put in a lot of effort is important.

Often, the people who picked up a skill as if born with it are good at the skill, but unprepared to teach it. You may need to seek out people who learned it intentionally and became experts with awareness.

to quote the letter:

Since 2009, however, more estimates of the economic impact of climate change have been published. These new results do affect the fitted trend, but not in the way suggested by Mr Ward. The new trend shows positive impacts for warming up to about two degrees global warming, just like the old trend did. The new trend, however, shows markedly less negative impacts for more profound warming than did the old trend. In other words, in the last five years, we have become less pessimistic about the impacts of climate change.

Interestingly, Carl Sagan, in his book The Demon Haunted World, discusses physical ailments arising purely from the brain and in passing points out that there are reasons to believe back pain is one of them.

The book is a fantastic read, because for some reason many people in the pro-skeptic movement recommend the book, despite the fact that quite a bit of the book is critical of skeptics!

Here in New Zealand we've ditched checks as a payment method, bank transfers have been the norm for paying bills for years now.
That is federal law which is usually overruled by state law as stated in paragraph 7.
I think it's less "factually incorrect" and more "nuanced and incomplete".

As a European that moved between countries, I was very surprised when I learned that SEPA allows a "pull" mechanism even exists. I lived 30 years in Latvia without knowing this is a feature in SEPA because every single payment is a "push" mechanism. I'm not sure if banks can turn this feature off, or if it just culturally never gained traction.

On the other hand, payments via banks are fairly widespread C2B, because every bank offers a (custom and horrible) API that merchants can implement. So users can authenticate directly with their bank as if it were PayPal, and authorize a SEPA payment to the merchant's bank account.

In fact, services that care about user identity, will often use these bank APIs to perform authentication with a high degree of confidence about the received user information.

Then I moved to France, and every bank interaction is "pull" based. While friction in Latvia came from authenticating before initiating the "push", in France the friction comes from agreeing to direct debiting, and signing various authorization slips. Sometimes electronically, but sometimes you have to send them by mail before you can start paying for a long-running service by bank (this makes it very undesirable for one-off purchases. In fact it is so cumbersome, that I prefer to pay for many services by credit card every month)

> I doubt the claims of very high fraud rate.

If I provide my account number to a service provider, they can debit it without me explicitly authorizing them (I have to sign an authorization usually, but there's nothing "technically" blocking the counterparty). I suppose that could lead to high fraud rates.
You would think software engineers would understand this. It's like approving subsequent pull requests on any and all code changes because the integration tests already passed once.
If you had that particular type of pain, it will become "obvious". You'll feel the pain of maintaining the wrist flat, and the pain will be less in that posture.

Same with my back pain and lumbar support. Once the lumbar support gave me relief, I could easily tell which chairs/couches were terrible for the back as the bad ones would give instant pain.
I agree, unfortunately however I've recently developed worsening tinnitus that I've attributed to them. There appear to be several others who have a similar experience[0].

I've stopped using them in favor of my over-ear VModas the past couple weeks and my tinnitus is significantly better. I rarely listen to music loud and the volume only seldom goes over 50% so I'm having a hard time attributing it to excess listening volume.

> why Japanese and Taiwan infection and severity rates remain comparatively low

Wearing face masks in public places.. indoors and outdoors. Social distancing is non existent considering how crowded places can be.

The same story applies to China, Hong Kong, Macau and S. Korea as well as some countries in SE Asia like Vietnam. Face mask wearing is culturally acceptable/normal in this part of the world so that's why people there started wearing them as soon as stuff started kicking off in Jan 2020 without their governments telling them.

People on HN are arguing over scientific papers on whether face masks are effective. You don't need scientific papers when these countries are proof that face mask wearing is effective.

Less people infected, lower chance of mutations. You will not hear about new SARS-COV-2 variants first being detected in these countries.
The video that the above animation is from [1] is about how bad (or alternatively, "selfish") driving behaviors where individuals inch up as close to the car in front of them as quickly as possible (only to have to slam on their brakes) actually lead to worse and slower traffic than if everyone just left a buffer of space in front of them and drove at a moderate pace.

So it's actually a lot more analogous than you'd think.

I suppose I should clarify what I mean. I mean crypto is maybe the most interesting new "protocol" type thing to use the internet in a new and different way.

We used to have lots of protocols that did different things but nowadays a lot of it has mostly been subsumed into http and we've been making and serving incrementally better (or worse depending on your perspective) websites for a couple decades plus now. If you talk to someone about the internet now, the default assumption is WWW, it's that dominant.

The last technology I think I would say was really different, interesting and widely used over the net is probably bittorrent? But even there http sites have gradually chipped away at a lot of the use cases it had.

Crypto is the first really new, interesting and actually popular "protocol" type thing to hit the internet since maybe bittorrent?

Personally I wouldn't put a penny into it because I really don't understand it, BUT if you told me in another 10 years crypto had significantly changed the world I wouldn't be surprised either, internet protocols have the power to do that, HTTP did.

> Almost complete sacralization of L5-S1 and bulging disc pressing on nerves.

I have no idea what this is, but the one thing I would have you ask yourself (or the doctors) is: How many people who have this physical condition you have are in back pain.

From what I've read, for example, that most people with compressed nerves/slipped discs do not have chronic pain. If you give a doctor an X-ray of a typical slipped disc, they will not be able to predict which ones had back pain and which didn't.

I believe ghost sightings are real - but caused by visual system trying to map inconclusive/limited information to something it already has a pattern for, and once a pattern (no matter how absurd) is found, it latches onto it.

AFAIK what we "percieve" of the world is anyway a hallucination produces by our brain based on sensory input. And particular conditions can mess this up briefly.

I've seen things twice that weren't there and realized what was going on only when got closer. First was when in the middle of the night I saw through a half open door my son (1 y at the time) walking in a room - I entered the room, and realized it was not plausible he could have been where I saw him a second a go. I backtracked what I saw and realized there was play carpet with road patterning on the floor, plus miscellanious kids stuff on the background. It was nearly pitch black. From my pov the scene mapped to my son in my visual system, and then it maintained this pattern just long enough for me to "see him walking".

Second was when I during a normal day observed what only could be two crows fighting or mating on a small tree. I got close. Really close. Then it suddenly 'stopped' being two crows and I realized it was just a black plastic bag fluttering in the wind.

I have no idea how to teach people of the fragility of our cognition in a way that would not involve a pathology as you had - realizing fragility of psyche is real similarly as death is real - but I feel realizing this would make people more emphatic towards all sorts of problems our fellow humans have.
Some friends have set a NAS up, and I'm doing the same, but most people seem to replace the cloud with a NAS while ignoring a crucial point that cloud providers do for you: replication. Are you handling that in yours?

It's an upcoming disaster waiting to occur, having their own private NAS but not backing it up somewhere else, only relying on the RAID reconstruction abilities of whatever they bought (and that's for those who bought the much more expensive units with 2 or 3 disk bays... don't get me started with those cheaper single-disk Synology ones)

I once got an email from PayPal with the title of "Correction for duplicate payment received", saying that I'd been reimbursed by PayPal twice by accident. It even had my name spelled wrong (checked that my PayPal account did in fact have my name spelled out correctly) in a very obvious way.

I was sure that it was some kind of a scam until I logged onto my PayPal account through the mobile app and saw that there were indeed two payments from PayPal for the same sum on the same day.
Been there. Unfortunately once a disc is damaged and starts bulging, it never really can get better. It's odd they discouraged a fusion or disc replacement, obviously I don't know the specifics of your situation, but it was a immediate off-switch to all the pain for me. Did the full gamut of other things including several specious medication recommendations that had me switch doctors several times they were so awful. Steroid injections were a minor relief but not much.

Sadly my US insurance at the time was a right bunch of horrible cunts and refused to cover a disc replacement, only a fusion, but after years of suffering I felt 10 years younger once I was back on my feet hobbling around for rehab.

But yes, sadly I think it's still generally advisable to avoid returning large structs by value.

Note that this has nothing to do with RVO; as I understand it, RVO is about eliding copy constructors, not actual memory copies, and c has no copy constructors and so gets 'RVO' in all cases.

> Makes me think it's not nearly as good at surviving shear forces.

It would definitely tear extremely easily due to the polymer scaffolding being entirely exposed, which makes it useless for most applications. By contrast, non-Newtonian fluids already being used in protective applications are encapsulated in materials far more resistant to scratching and shearing, which also allows the fluid to retain shape without the need for any specialized polymers inside the suspended fluid itself.

> And this is all sort of beside the fact that Microsoft's incomplete implementation lead to Twonky and Plex as competitors, both of which had their own problems and sort of muddied the waters on the whole thing. The HP Home Servers shipped with WMC, Plex, and Twonky all running by default! You can imagine how confusing that could be to deal with.

I haven't looked into twonky and plex, but are they even trying to solve the same problem that DLNA aimed to do? My understanding is that neither of those have submitted anything to standardizing bodies like IETF or ISO so far, but maybe there is no need for such as the content is being streamed directly from the internet.
Good point.

Theoretically it could be possible that non-vaccinated infect fewer others than those who are vaccinated -- because unvaccinated more readily die after which they can not keep on infecting others. Nevertheless the goal is not to reduce infections but to reduce deaths and serious illness.

Here's an article which says that vaccination does reduce the risk of you infecting others. But this effect diminishes over time quite fast. That would seem like a good reason to get the booster.

k8s is the whole enchilada: IaaS, routing, container mgmt., etc.

So terraform plus AWS ECS is roughly equivalent to k8s (or AWS ASGs and AMIs plus Docker.)

A crude analogy is that k8s is the distributed systemd, and is the most portable.

Saying "I know k8s." today generally also means you know the k8s ecosystem, including Istio, AWS Calico, etc.
