About 800 drowning deaths / year (https://www.safekids.org/press-release/almost-800-kids-drown....)

Roughly 850 deaths from/with Covid in two years - the bulk of which are likely with Covid rather than explicitly because of Covid (https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-...)
Ah, okay, the probably yes. But it's still natural, since one influenced the other heavily.

Also, Social insurance, but also affirmative action and regulation of common goods, although none of these need to be state driven.

One of the neat details that I think is underappreciated and underexplored about Germanies (my native country) public health care system is that it is public and democratic but not state, it functions more like a specially regulated cooperative system, which tends to work quite efficiently. So there is design space for a minimal "state" (which in anarchist circles would be expected to be much more decentralised and democratically run anyway) while still fulfilling a lot of services by "the public"
Used to be that bars were the place you went in the US to smoke and drink. Since you can't smoke in bars (Note: "pubs" for UK readers) anymore, there's less of a reason to go to them, and it incentivizes drinking at home. Which has led to a lot of bars closing and fewer of them than ever.
No. Greece had issues because they took on a lot of debt, and their public corruption meant they could not collect enough taxes to repay that debt.

That was the fundamental problem.

There are certain solutions to that problem that can involve devaluing your currency, which can make it much cheaper to manage the problem. And the EU could have done that, but because the EU was strongly opposed to fiscal measures at the time (that has thankfully changed since the pandemic, which has made the EU a much more useful organization), they didn't.

So a lot of people got mad at the EU about it and pretended that Greece would have been better off with their own currency to depreciate. However, there are 2 major problems with that alternate scenario:

1) If Greece was still on the Drachma, it's highly unlikely that Greece would have been borrowing money on the Drachma. They would have most likely have borrowed money in Dollars, or maybe Euros, because the Drachma was simply not powerful enough. So devaluing their currency would not have helped them with their international borrowing which was the problem in the first place (it would only have made those loans even more expensive).

2) If Greece was still on the Drachma, it's highly likely the Drachma would have collapsed, and Greece would have faced dramatic inflation, the likes of which are ruining countries like Turkey and Pakistan right now.

Think about it this way. The vast majority of wealth every Greek person in Greece would have been in Drachma. But if the value of the Drachma fell by 25%, that would mean that in one fell swoop, every Greek person lost 25% of their wealth. And currency inflation is even worse than having 95% of your net worth in your house, and seeing its price crash by 25%, because currency is what you conduct your day to day transactions in. At least with the house, assuming you don't have to pay the mortgage or you do have enough to pay the mortgage, you don't need to liquidate it at those reduced values. But if you want to buy food, you need to use currency, and so you need to realize the lowered value of your wealth immediately.

By being on the Euro, however, thanks to the fact that the value of the Euro was largely derived from other more stable countries, the Greek people did not actually lose their own personal wealth, since the Euro did not depreciate much.
I don't know what the "75th Percentile Forward Multiple" is, but if it's down %52, it's down more than "the stock market"; the S&P is down about %6.5, NASDAQ is down a bit less than %12.

Perhaps this article is not meant to be understood by a mere programmer like myself. Could someone kindly explain what I should be worried about?
Children spread covid to more vulnerable people just as easily as adults do.

Unless your world view is that we should all teach our children to be maximally selfish and to not care when grandma dies then thinking only of your own direct mortality during a highly contagious pandemic is a bit silly.

Because of population density.
We can also say that our current model of the universe is orders of magnitude more accurate, so it's more likely that we're correct about the speed of light - something which has been experimentally tested and verified by hundreds if not thousands of people - than the opinion of one particular Lord Kelvin regarding the viability of aircraft.

It's just as hubristic to assume that science is as ignorant now as it always has been.

Software Enablement and the Morello Technology Demonstrator
Just FYI:

This makes total sense. But that’s not how corporate lawyers read it in my experience.

I think it’s a) poor legal understanding of software and b) AGPLv3 signaling litigiousness.

And in some regards, even if the lawyer doesn’t fall in A, they know courts may. Their job is risk management.

If I submit, they’ll tell me to use a MIT, BSD, Apache 2.0, etc alternative or buy something and suck it up.

Also they have a bunch of these to review, plus contracts, etc. so understandably have no time to debate.
The first 64 bytes of the 8080 address space contain the interrupt vectors, which I think normally pointed into the CP/M BIOS, so you wouldn't want to overwrite them with the contents of your COM file executable. But the BIOS is loaded from disk (unlike on the IBM PC), so that needs to be RAM. CP/M needs a little bit of memory space for its own variables, and it makes sense to put it next to the interrupt vectors, since we know there's RAM mapped there, because there were no RAM chips as small as 64 bits. And we know there's more RAM than CP/M needs for enough of its own variables to permit a warm boot, because there were no RAM chips as small as 256 bits either. So it makes sense to load the user program immediately after CP/M's variables, because any extra slack space there is wasted.

That sort of constrains the load address to be something in the range 0x41-0x200 or so. I'm not sure why they ended up at 0x100 instead of, say, 0x80 or 0xC0.

This setup was a big problem for the TRS-80, which mapped ROM at the bottom of memory.
Bit off, this was done near Charleston, SC as recently as a few years ago but has since transitioned to full manufacturing.
In Australia there has been mass migration out of the states that had toxic culture towards covid. Victoria in particular lost of a lot of people who had enough and moved to more proportionate covid response states.

The government chose the hardest covid policies in the country from the beginning which lead to division in the population. You had people that wouldn't accept the hard measures and you had people that championed them.

The result was a state were covid was rampant and everyone was fighting over how selfish others were. Kids got it pretty bad - no playgrounds, no schools and you could only leave your home in a 5km radius for food and exercise. This went on for over a year.
I’m not sure why it’s a surprise since a good part of cancer is not external factors but just DNA replication alone - there are many correction mechanisms, but they aren’t foolproof.

Just being alive puts you at risk for cancer.
> article describing in great detail the conditions and circumstances where the behavior exists

I don't think they understand what "random" means.
Emily Oster's book Expecting Better talks about this, I don't have a copy on hand but you could check her sources.
Wearing a mask and not meeting in large groups is not stopping socialization. Acknowledging that certain behaviours spread an already virulent disease isn't callous, it's realistic and it's why the pandemic is depressing. Ignoring covid doesn't make most people feel any better, they know it exists.
I'm not sure why you are being down voted for saying this.

I think this is mostly because Facebook is going to go E2E now. I can understand why Facebook wants to do this, as it's starting to get risky with stuff like Jan 6th and other violent political demonstrations in the US maybe starting to happen more. If they go E2E they don't have to deal with the risk of having to "pick a side".
No, you’re missing the point.

Asking people in the study if it’s OK to release their data means the resulting data set is skewed. People with certain conditions and other variables will be more or less likely to agree, leaving a non-representative sample of the actual study.

It will no longer be random.
Yup, it's just an MVP, will be ready soon. It's built in less than a day as the guys in YC recommend
I never understood distrust, because scientists base their work on research that is extensively cited. Making conclusions that are not supported by evidence, e.g. "desperately cloaking" policy preferences, could jeopardize one's scientific career.

Many people seem to unrealistically demand scientific recommendations to be "guarantees." However, scientific conclusions are very precisely made best guesses, built on humanity's knowledge.
Eventually... I think we'll hit herd immunity.

Say there's a group of 100... like my county 42 of them are vaccinated. Say 10 die.... now you have 90... 42 vaccinated... that's now 46%...

More deadly strain comes along, hitting the unvaxxed, and maybe 10 more die.. vaccinated rate is now 52.5%..

Eventually anti-science people will just fall victim to evolution and we'll trend towards 100% vaccinated, and then less vector for mutation.

I think it'll always be w/ us....just maybe w/ less load via updated vaccines, we can continually keep it below high mortality thresholds for the general public, and lower viral load is lower chances for spread, and for mutations.

I'm at the point of not much caring anymore, esp as far as anti-vax people come, though it'd be nice if we could triage them better where all other people come first in the hierarchy of needs and then --and only then if there are available beds can they receive one.

I mean for decades we've done the same thing, except it was rich > poor... not it's people who trust doctors and are health responsible like organ donors are expected to be, who would receive first dibs at care.

My biggest worry is the plummeting health of the healthcare workers themselves. Their mental health, their mass exodus. You can't just replace them. It takes years to encourage people to go into and then graduate from medical fields.

I'm also worries about Cancer, i have lots of friends/family who've dealt w/ Cancer scares and most of them can't get even the littlest bit of pre-emptive care. My wife's mom died of Cancer last year and maybe she wouldn't have --had they not been throttling assesments and other doctor appointments.

I have toddlers in preschool, but at this point I just accept we're all going to get it... so not worth worrying about.. As virulent as this version is, I just can't fathom a 4 year old not catching it somehow...I just hope they have mild cases and no lingering after-effects, I think I might have it now, as I've been super lethargic past 3 days and just exhausted... I'm triple vaxxed and still if this is it, it's not pleasant.

TLDR: Delirious rambling re: I agree mutations are bad, dwindling healthcare worker health and resources is more bad, but also feel helpless, and kinda have given up, and just hope we can hurry up and get through all the unvaccinated people asap so we can fight this better. I'm a humanist, and usually compassionate, and care about human rights but I'm a bit jaded by the selfishness lately, and honestly the people who wouldn't wear a mask to protect others last year, I could care less if they end up winning a Herman Cain/Darwin Award this year. They provide so little value to society, they wouldn't have even been missed during the Thanos 'blip'. "Oh were you blipped? Huh...didn't evne notice...weird....awkward!".
> They might even democratize at some point.

No government ever willingly gives up power.
agreed, why I also think that regular (monthly) in-person get-together sessions are incredibly valuable. Make the time together special, on everyone's calendar, and really set the time aside for thinking as a group.

Doesn't need to be done every day or even every week.
There's an article written by a public school teacher that disagrees with you. What is your personal experience with the issue?
Why You Shouldn't Use a No-Code Platform for Trading Algorithms
It's funny, just a modicum of common sense should tell them that the biggest problem is the government themselves. There have been a number (to understate it) of high profile cases of "gross predators" in Britain who were allowed to operate freely with the government fully aware of what they were doing and turning a blind eye to it or even protecting them.

It's not that breaking encryption could not solve any crimes or help people (on the contrary it clearly could and if we had a perfect benevolent government that was immune to corruption and incompetence we may well want them to have a crypto backdoor). The problem is that governments have clearly and repeatedly demonstrated, by their actions, that they have no intention of using powers like this to help the common person or to better society. They use powers like this to protect and enrich the government and its friends.
Not exactly, but you are close enough. Greece may or may not have fudged the numbers in reports to the EU institutions so they could adopt the euro in the first place and then it backfired spectacularly.

That aside, I fully agree with you. Don't use currencies for your economy if you can't exert at least some control on them. *Especially* not crypto currencies that are essentially controlled by noone.

Using another states currency at least gives you some set of guarantees because they don't want to blow their own economy, but with crypto that isn't really the case.
Not to minimize these problems but typescript eases a lot of them.

It’s complicated than that. Valencian is at best a dialect of Catalan, the differences are not significant enough to considere them two separate languages.

The rejection of considering Valencian as Catalan has some links to Blaverism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaverism a “weird” Spanish nationalist movement from Valencia with marked Anti-Catalan character.

Oficial languages in Spain are Basque, Catalan, Galician and Spanish (obviously). They survive others such as Aragonese, Bable or Extremeñu. Plus the Spanish dialects such as the Southern ones.
At least in the US, the debate around the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races was largely about school closures for COVID-19. And the Republicans did well on the premise of reopening in-person school. The price is already being paid.

That said, most polls show a majority of Americans support mask mandates. [1]

I don't think the future is necessarily an analogy of post-9/11 security theater.

Texas has a big population, as does California so I'd be surprised if the (actually small) net migration from California is really meaningful.

Philosophy says none of those assertions are provable. You could very well be an automaton in a simulation and all your presumptions about the world are false.
It’s not a conspiracy theory. The number of reports to VAERS, which is the best data we have on population wide side effects, has been growing rapidly. To be fair it will be very hard to tease out strong evidence from that data set, but directionally it seems to indicate something is going on with these vaccines. Perhaps the clinical trial data will be released, VAERS will be combed through, new studies devised, and we will have some idea of the actual side effects and their relative frequency. It’s not going to be zero across the board. And that is just for the short term.

We have zero idea what the long term side effects may be. I hope it is zero. But if it’s not there are going to be some very unfortunate people.
I don't even think it's installed by default anymore either. It's not on my Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, Chrome was installed by default although it was pre-installed on my slightly older A51. It's basically just Chromium with a few tweaks.

They do have some very nice tweaks to Android. You can put apps in floating windows if you want or by hands, quarters whatever. You can even change the opacity of windows which is nice for using a photo as reference image while drawing for example. Dex has been handy a few times too.
This was the .Mac subscription. Poking around the history, it looks like I misunderstood Apple's move at the time. When they discontinued .Mac they also seem to have switched to the me.com domain. My impression at the time from whatever messaging they sent out to subscribers was "no more mac.com email" so that's when I switched to Gmail.
OK. Only Pluto in a few hours, Mars in a few minutes, and the moon in less time it would take for me to reach the toilet from my living room.

Not literally instantaneous, but still practically instantaneous at the scale of the solar system.

> I had this happen to me - started experiencing severe chest pain 2 days post-Pfizer. Subsequently saw a cardiologist after months of pain and his comment to me was "I'm seeing young people like you daily and your cases are going widely underreported"

Orthogonal to the original conversation but have your cardiologist consultations yielded anything?

I also have chest pain for now more than 2 months after the second dose of the Biontech mRNA vaccine, but the tests revealed nothing abnormal. A few people in my entourage have been having similar symptoms but theirs has since receeded.

It doesn't help that search engine results for anything close to "Covid-19 Vaccine Chest Pain" are overran by both antivax conspiracy theorists and obvious propaganda. I couldn't find concrete information save from a few disparate accounts of similar conditions[1], despite the apparent frequency of those symptoms.

> dimensionless point

According to QM. Electrons/positrons aren't a particle but much closer to a probability cloud.

Black holes are fundamentally modified space time. So much, much different than particles.

> A black hole with the mass of an electron would have an event horizon, which is not a dimensionless point. If it is a black hole, how does the charge "get out" to affect the outside world?

Charge is one of few properties that black holes preserve.

> If the electron and positron are both dimensionless points, yet somehow not black holes, how do their paths ever succeed in intersecting?

Same way two clouds interact. No black holes necessary. Analogy isn't perfect. Two interacting clouds don't obliterate instantly to produce different clouds.
Generally yes. The microkernel architecture is theoretically better in many ways and this has led to many attempts over the years to switch to that architecture. Some attempts have been relatively successful. Over time, as hardware becomes more heterogeneous and more capable, we are likely going to see a move to microkernels.

Like many engineering decisions, the choice is not always clear cut. Other commenters have suggested microkernels are clearly superior and not choosing them is stupid, but there are many facets to that decision.
Why ?

Working remote , never being late to a meeting , never having to commute, vastly outweighs all that.

I have an odd feeling many people like in person work so they can socialize. We have bars and concerts for that.

We somehow went from COVID will kill us all if we dare step into an office to shut up and get back to work.

Stop wasting money on office space. Let people live wherever ( assuming your in the same country for tax reasons). I love the sheer level of freedom I have.

If I get sick of the city, I can work from a small town in Alaska, Alabama, etc.

Vs being told to commute for 3 hours a day
I'm talking about time dilation. From the perspective of the pilot of a near light speed ship a trip across the galaxy would be instantaneous.
So what we need to do is make a platform for user's bots that completely prevents them to behave in anyway un human like. then get other platforms to trust this platform, rather than trust individuals and their scripts.
I'm having a little trouble interpreting (pun a happy happenstance!) your comment. Judging whether an application of a law is "appropriate" basically gives judges free rein to do whatever they want, although I can't think of a better description of what judges should do. (I suppose your use of "literally" is problematic in that, as used, it simply refers to your definition of a judge's responsibillity but is easily conflated with other posters' use of "literal" in the sense of the judge not doing any "interpretation" of the law.)

Gorsuch infamously ruled that the application of contract law (I guess, IANAL) was appropriate against a man who chose not to freeze to death by staying with his stranded work vehicle. I imagine a lot of other judges thought it was inappropriate and would have ruled in favor of the employee.

Taking into account what a judge thinks lawmakers meant to say also gives the judges a lot of wiggle room in their pronouncements.

Your list of 5 things that matter is commendable. However, the last 3 things have been torn to shreds over the past 4 decades -- and were never that strong historically, either in the U.S. or elsewhere. Tradition and precedent are easily side-stepped when convenient. And, of course, you have the infamous Supreme Court decision effectively placing Bush in the White House that explicitly said it was not to be used as a precedent.

And, of course, everything gets thrown out when corruption comes into play!
You might at least try.
Thanks for the suggestion. I occasionally add progress % to some of my scripts, but anything more advanced I can’t be bothered. Excited to check out the library, thanks for the print() suggestion.
But do those other places pay the creators such small percentages, and also do everything in their power to avoid paying real $? As far as I know Youtube doesn't have their own currency.
I so appreciate the little things, like `console.log` printing not only discretely naming the filename and line, but also providing a link to it.
