It depends on what your intention was when buying the stocks in the first place. I've only invested in low cost index funds and gold outside of my fun bucket, with the expectation that the value will fluctuate over the years. I don't intend to sell any time soon. If your investing strategy was designed to be more actively managed, your answer might be different.
The current virus has a natural growth factor that is about 3x larger than the OG. So vaccines are at least 66% effective if they are keeping it at bay. Probably more since lots of countries have very low restrictions compared to last year.

It's their willingness to wear masks, follow social distancing guidelines, not the secret magic of ivermectin.
The permissions being requested are things that all native apps get by default. I’m not worried about trusted code getting permission to something I trusted a hundred other apps with previously.
If 11.3% fewer people were infected overall up to that point in time, how many people are likely to be infected at T+1? 11.3%. It's not even a trick question.

The problem with this line of argument - "if only the state didn't impose a lockdown, we could trade lives for life as it was before" - aside it from being kind of despicable, is that you can't get people to just continue previously normal activities once they know the danger. When Covid appeared in Seattle, the first US city, all the bars and restaurants downtown went out of the business before any restrictions went into place. Sweden had a lot of people working at home even with the supposed "no restrictions" policy. Indeed, see the list of policies that were, in fact, restrictive; https://sweden.se/life/society/sweden-and-corona-in-brief
This kind of logic is, more or less, why Trump lost -- people (rightly so) don't like being told they have to sacrifice themselves for the economy

> There also seems to be an unspoken assumption in OP's post that diversity hires are never as qualified as white male hires.

I don't think this way, and I'd be really interested to know where you felt you identified this unspoken assumption in what I wrote.
Yet it seems that's the road we are taking. Some bro science: In 5-10 year heard immunity is what will happen.

Every year it will be a little less. Vaccines and other medicines will dampen the casualties. Partial lockdowns and restrictions will be kept in place so it doesn't get too much out of control.

Kids and teenager will grow up with corona being just one of the viruses they get among many others and build up, it not a full immunity at least a decent ability to handle it.

And slowly less and less it will control our society. But will definitely take a while.
Sure but what about the folks that run casinos, pachinko parlors, mahjongg dens, card clubs, horse race betting owners, claw machine owners, etc, etc. There's a _lot_ of gambling around the world and it's the owners' job to market these gambling houses. Why are these crypto scams so deleterious when there's probably an order of magnitude more people gambling their money away in more traditional gambling houses designed to keep you inside, fed, and spending money for as long as possible? Is your position that all gambling like this should be run by the state?
Here's a link to a real actual science study that used tuberculosis-sized particles and found filtration efficiencies of 99.5% or higher by N95 masks. Which isn't minor. It's been over a year. If you're not using an N95, you're doing yourself and those around you a disservice.

I'm a US citizen, and I live in Colorado, right in the middle of North America.

I'm baffled by what's going on in the UK right now, which appears to be regressing towards a less-democratic, more traditionally monarchy. Two questions:

1. Is my impression correct? If not, what can I read/watch to get a more correct impression?

2. Why? What would motivate an entire country to return to a monarchy, with a class system and hereditary aristocracy?
Built-in UPS and KVM, too. Keep it cool and stock up on PSUs and that'll last you a long time.
But what can we do? Ads provide employment for tens of millions of people and fund literally billions of hours of content watched a year. Even if you agree most is trash, it's also allowed some really high quality stuff to flourish while being able to stay relatively independent.

It's strongly tied to economic growth, and thus everybody's pensions are tied up in the success of advertising. It seems illogical it makes such an obscene amount of money, but collectively the advertising industry is bigger than even oil & gas.

Now I don't exactly enjoy ads, I accept a few, but every time they're implemented the pressures of the market just increase it over and over until it ruins the base product, like a cancer.

What's the alternative?

Consumers don't have enough money to pay for dozens and dozens of subscriptions. The ads industry is effectively a tax on every other industry, and thus makes more money than consumers would ever spend on content. I'm open to ban advertising entirely but that also seems like an opposite extreme and counterproductive.
It sounds like you’re advocating for using local products rather than the best products available.

That’s fine but it’s not something that will ultimately benefit the EU after China and the US retaliate in kind.

Sure, certificates can be time consuming at the moment but that will only get easier. Just like hosting the underlying website.

The number of sites that should have had SSL but didn't was laughable and justification enough for browsers to require SSL.

I don't know if you're being deliberately alarmist, but 2FA is a huge peace of mind when done correctly with one time codes. Those don't require phone numbers and is the properly secure method.

Sure the old internet was a bit more fun and carefree, but it became far less fun when you had your online accounts compromises because of weak or non existent security.
From the outside it looks like a lot of policies are reactive, they aim at where the target was days before, not where it is now or where we'll anticipate it might be by the time policies go into effect.

We already know we're acting on imcomplete, time-delayed information, i.e. we will only learn a few days later when the variant arrives in another country. So we have to compensate for that either by shutting everything down or by introducing artificial delays. And that's assuming all countries are testing and reporting the spread early. Some countries might lack coverage and thus act as dark hubs.
You can’t infer that from the graph. Yeah, they will go back to pre-pandemic levels, but they won’t increase exponentially from then on - which is not the case for COVID with no restrictions, which will only plateau at ridiculously high amount of infected (and dead).
That's a mischaracterization. The non-significant results are as a result of "intention to treat" analysis. ITT analysis considers a subject to be part of whatever group they are initially assigned, regardless of what treatment they ultimately receive and/or how adherent they are to the protocol. Some of those studies even note low adherence. You wouldn't expect masks to work if people don't wear them, would you?

Like I've said for a while now. The EU has done stellar job of demonstrating a new level of hypocrisy & complete inability to be effective in a crisis.

Travel ban imposed overnight, but dear lord - don't restrict the unfettered movement to Majorca or Sardinia or elsewhere (that would just be unconstitutional)....
I would counter that by pointing out that the actual racist/sexist hiring practices are what led to the imbalance in diversity in the tech field, and I'm not excluding anyone due to their race/sex (no quotas, no "I won't hire white guys" etc) but for every job post if there are 200 applicants, 10 worth interviewing and 3 that I am seriously considering, it becomes a judgement call who I want on my team but I I do not use race or sex as the deciding factor
The recent Bangladesh study with 350k people found a ~10% reduction in cases, from only 40% mask adoption.

The two-cities trial early in 2020 in Germany saw a ~20% reduction. Those are in the number of infections - the number looks low but can make a massive difference in the actual transmission rate. In the German case, after a month infections dropped close to zero.
But again, that's not what the study measured. You're extrapolating incorrectly.

First, the study conflates distancing and mask-wearing. They admit this in the paper (there is a significant increase in distancing amongst the mask wearers). There is also a large change in the size of the populations that could easily swamp the effect size (i.e. the size of the mask population was something like 9% bigger than the control).

Second, just because you observe effect size X at time T does not mean that you will see an equivalent effect at T+1. It also doesn't mean that you will see a compounding effect. In human terms: maybe you get a surge of behavior at the start of the intervention that doesn't continue, due to burnout or non-compliance. Or maybe you got lucky at time T, and randomly saw a population that yielded a result. You can't make the assumption.
The cost is something absolutely nobody wants to discuss but it is vital to do so. Yeah “slowing the spread” is important in a vacuum where we live with no friction and spherical cows but here in the real worth that one goal competes with literally everything else.

Asking society to myopically focus on nothing but “slowing the spread” of one very specific illness for years on end is, quite frankly, madness. There is vastly more to life than just living it to slow the spread of exactly one disease.

At some point in the near future, perhaps right today, people need to acknowledge that Covid and all its variants past present and future will be around forever. They can either learn to return to full normal 2019 life or piss an entire generation of people away on a battle that cannot ever be won.
The problem with this view, to me, is that it takes a really narrow view of discrimination. Why are you only concerned with the hiring process of software engineers? To me, bad-faith alarm bells go off when concern about discrimination only rears its head when the speaker's corner of the world is impacted. There are much more pernicious problems that need addressing than the quality of engineers at your job. How is the need for meritocratic software hiring more urgent and pressing than rectifying major societal problems? Are you OK with permanently setting in place the underclass, subjugated status of entire minority communities so your page loads are quicker?

Yup, the Chrome monoculture will save us all.
Thing is that you dont have to formulate hypotheses for things we have figured out. We, humans have already figured out for example that momentum balance holds, so when we make trajectory predictions, this (differential) equality is a hard constraint in our calculations.

A DNN cannot guarantee that its predictions respect momentum balance. By proper training you can just only reduce the probability of violating it.

It is plainly a wrong tool for the task.

I don't disagree with you on the effectiveness of masks but tuberculosis bacterial cells are far larger than coronavirons.

I'm pretty sure the TI994a had somewhat of a video buffer in the form of sprites (I know it was capable of parallax scrolling) and it's own sound chip that was the one used in speak and spells(That may have been a separate module called speech synthesizer).

Later models of Atari and Amiga may be the units I am thinking of being very similar.

But, that's not what you want to measure. You want to measure whether an intervention works if people adhere to the protocol. Again, as I asked you in another comment, would you expect masks to work if people don't wear them?
If you have the magic recipe for curing everyone that gets sick, I am all for it.

Because metaphorically "not shooting anyone" does not equate to not having a lockdown, if that results in hundreds of literal deaths every day.
Which reaction to COVID are you crediting with the resurgence in measles exactly?
What is the fraction of the population who is anti-vax with regard to measles? I don't know anyone. I do know many people who are reluctant/refusing to get the COVID vax.
Where is the pragmatic approach to COVID?

I'm all for vaccines and science, but what's the endgame?

What about the impact on mental health?

What about the impact on quality of life of the enormous majority of people?

How about we take care of those who are vulnerable without destroying the economy and social lives of everyone?

Why can't we provide vulnerable ones means to be safe and why can't they take more precautions to stay safe?

Is this really the most pragmatic approach?
A Huskee Cup. Low maintenance, made from coffee husk, great seal with the lid, and I love that it can hold hot coffee but not burn your hands due to the fins running along the body. Many local coffee shops also give me a discount on takeaway coffee if I bring my own takeaway cup, and some offer a Huskee Cup swap program where you can leave your dirty cup with them if you've been carrying it around after drinking your last coffee and get a clean one for your next order (personally I prefer to just keep my own though).

That's a false equivalence.

I have more trust in the correctness of encryption than the reliability of the justice system.

HOWEVER, that's not what's at issue with crypto. The issue of crypto is that it's irreversible. It absolutely does exactly what you tell it to do, and no more. But, at the same time, that means that when non-algorithm mistakes or exploits (ransom, cons, etc) happen you have 0 recourse to fix it.

There's a reason crypto is the preferred method of wealth transmission for scam artists, hackers, and ransomware.
>until any exponential growth swamps the terms

but isn't that almost immediately the case? Let's say you have only 50 people in the States who have the new variant before you notice it, with an r naught of 2-6 that most of these strains seem to have after a few days you're probably already way beyond the few falsely negatively tested people who come in by plane. (the US still requires tests right?)
I'm curious about your thoughts on airtags. Had you tried Tile before? Are the airtags really better, and not just a knock-off product?
The common CPU helps, but considering how different the machines were, I doubt it’d help that much.
I would take any study performed during the heat of the moment with a huge grain of salt. Especially in an environment where saying anything but “masks work” gets you labeled as some wacko spreading misinformation.
I'm holding for now, but the pressure to start using GitHub and LinkedIn keeps growing...
I don't understand the controversy. Google and Apple make lots of money from their app stores. MS offers loans at a $4 fee and everyone loses their mind. Would everyone be as hostile if say, Opera did the same thing?
UNIX V7 (1979) had more differences compared to the older versions than all the current UNIX descendants have compared to V7.

The POSIX standards correspond mostly with V7 with relatively minor additions from the later ATT and BSD UNIX versions.

Many of the command line utilities that are still used today have appeared only in V7, e.g. the Bourne shell sh, sed, awk, m4, lex, basename, test, expr.

Most command line utilities from V6 or older versions, even those that have the same name as later utilities, may have very different behavior.

The Bangladesh study does not say that cloth masks have no effect.

It said that it can’t support an impact of cloth masks usage on infection rates, but associates them with reduced severity/symptoms.

That’s a notably distinct proposition from “no effect.”

I submit that the chief difference between capitalism and Socialism/Communism is one of cardinality:

Either we have a single public sector overlord, or a variety of private sector ones.

As someone's slashdot sig held, years ago: "Under capitalism, man oppresses man; under Communism, it's the other way around."
Vaccines do reduce the spread, but breakthrough infections are common. Even with 100% vaccination rate, we should expect new variants to continue to appear.

The only way for covid to "end" is to accept that it's endemic and change our mentality towards living with it.

Truthfully even if everybody on earth caught it simultaneously tomorrow, only a few percent would die, and society would not fundamentally change.

It may sound heartless, but that's the truth. 1-2% of US population dies every year as a baseline as it is.

Of course it isn’t. But you aren’t allowed to say that out loud. You are supposed to just shut up and delegate all critical thinking to a very narrow field of experts (and only those in that field who have the most negative takes).
