Leana Wen isn't just some talking head. She was the head of Planned Parenthood and is a nationally-known medical figure. She is especially respected on the political left. That makes her statement especially surprising because the left has been the side pushing the mask mandates.
Kind of in the same boat here; gearing up for a PhD though.

The best thing that I did was I talked to professors—after class, during office hours, just dropping in to see if they had time, etc. Ask them questions about what’s interesting to you. I pestered one professor so much that he was just like “would you be interested in studying programming languages?” I didn’t realize that was an avenue until then. Now I’ve got a paper in progress because that professor introduced me to another professor who helped me get introduced into the field.

So talk to people. Be curious and ask questions!
Hardly. This kind of plasma physics is nearly orthogonal to research that puts carbon-neutral electricity on the grid.
Would also be nice if they edited things to actually be true, e.g.

* e-bike with 10 miles of actual range even though they advertise 30 miles

* laptop with 2 hours of battery life at 100% CPU usage even though they advertise 10 hours

* median $450 flight even though they advertise it as $199
Would it be any smoother? The official dev emulator runs Android in a VM, and this runs Android in a VM. So the points of differentiation are speed (does the SDK VM use hardware acceleration?) and integration (I'm guessing WSA doesn't play nice with attaching a debugger, and the SDK VM, AFAIK, just gives you a single "screen" in a window). So... maybe?
You mispelled "Theranos."

Back at a desktop computer now. Thanks for the tip. The only time I'd used Google Takeout was when I migrated away from Google Play Music, but in that case it generated 100s of gigabytes of data over dozens of zip files so I didn't do much with it in the end. Looks like it is quite useable for Google Calendar though. I've data going back to 2013, which is when I moved from an Evolution (offline) calendar to the (online) Google one, so it is quite possible it could go back longer for people who have been using it longer. And it turns out that my daughter had been to a birthday party at the same building and floor in 2014, but at a different door (flat 3 rather than flat 2).

> The only question really then is how fast do we want the unvaccinated to do the getting antibodies by getting COVID thing. The faster they get it, the faster we can be as done with COVID as we are ever going to be.

No, there's one other question - how much of our limited health resources do we want to allocate to people still refusing to get vaccinated.

In all fairness, I think they should be allocated proportionately. If 20% of a region's population is unvaccinated, and there's a bed shortage, they should get ~20% of hospital beds.

Hi! Author here!

I started working on this almost 2 years ago. I use a lot of the features since I have a particular fondness for them. However, I use `git fuzzy log` _a LOT_!

Why? It's unreasonably effective at finding useful things when I need to search `git` history.

Examples:

I have a CI failure caused by `tests/foo.ts` in `main`

- I run `git fuzzy log` and type `-- tests/foo.ts`, now I see all diffs and specifically changes to that file in the history

I have a test that's blowing through a timeout and want to increase it

- I run `git fuzzy log` and type `-G timeout -- test/slow_one.ts` and it'll show me all changes to timeouts for that test, so I can pick a good value

There are operations research PhD's who use decades of aggregate demand data in dynamic pricing algorithms for the purpose of revenue and queue management in perishable services, e.g. software for pricing of airline seats, rental cars and hotel rooms.

In countries with universal healthcare, price cannot be used for queue management, but the US isn't one of those countries. Did any hospital use queue management software to adjust pricing as a mechanism for demand throttling, due to limited capacity in 2020-2021?

In any case, if supply-vs-demand is both a policy driver and metric of intervention performance, we need public, detailed hospital capacity data for analysis and optimization of net societal costs vs benefits. Utilization of space and skills is eminently quantifiable and software already exists for demand mgmt.
Exactly. I mainly used email for my domains, but I can'speak for the 2nd user. I have the small setup for my friend to use his domain.

This is risking another rant, but I'll hold. Keeping things short - authorities lied their asses off for the whole pandemic, and this is what (legitimately) destroyed trust. People are a lot less stupid than usually given credit for - sure, they can't always do the research themselves, but they do know to look around and orient them in complex situations. And it got pretty obvious pretty soon that the official message was not about the truth, but about getting the "correct" response. Which turned out to be a lot less precise and correct in practice. So yeah, now you get people mistrusting vaccines because you can't get them to trust anything.

The longer response would be that public institutions should be forbidden to use Simulacra Levels over 1 (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/qDmnyEMtJkE9Wrpau/simulacra-...)
I mean, these days you have the DAO. So on the positive side, it's not 4 of 7 people anymore. But on the negative side, it's theoretically anyone, depending on how badly they messed up the code, concentration of ownership, and other economic/social factors.

You also have the problems that it's all resolved through a centralized service, in practice. So if Infura gets a court order to NXDOMAIN thepiratebay.eth, that's pretty much good night.

So there playing the I am ignoring it or lying about it for your benefit card like Fauci about masks early on?

It was a while ago that the CDC estimated recovered COVID numbers to bre around 146 million. It is more like over 200 million at this point with overlap of vaccinated people.

I am sick of being ignored of having recovered, and people making the excuse that if they let us know how good natural immunity is, or even talk about it, the idiots will go out and get COVID. I don't want a nanny state, or police state for that matter. The WHO and a lot of the world are at odds with the CDC especially on masking and boosting of under 12 year-olds.

Besides boosting one after the other may be weakening the immune system [1]. It makes sense. It raises antibodies, but wanes quickly. Natural immunity lives in B- and T-cell long-term memory of the immune system. SARS-COV1 recovered are still testing strong for immunity for over 18 years now.

I am getting repetitive, but let's address obesity, diabetes, poor lifestyle choices, and their kind before mandating anyone's personal health choices or shaming them for their decisions. If I call out obesity it is fat shaming..., but go ahead and lump the recovered in with the unvaccinated and try and shame and steer the course of our lives with mandates and policing.

What's wonderful about all that?

I'm back to wired, I have a Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO, and none of these overhyped products match its quality, I can live with the cables :)
> If a region has sufficient hospital capacity that it would not be overwhelmed by the increase in COVID cases among the unvaccinated go ahead and lift most restrictions.

This is basically the reasoning used in Ireland; the hospitals weren't overwhelmed as Omicron peaked in the first week or so of January, so overnight we went from really quite restricted to all restrictions except mask requirements gone. Over 95% of Irish adults are vaccinated, so this isn't a trick that will work everywhere, but... for now it seems to be going okay.

The difference is Apple OS updates on older devices don't always have all the features the new OS gets on newer hardware (which makes sense in many cases) while older Android phones can run most of the latest updates to Android (e.g., Jetpack Compose)

A SwiftUI app vs Compose app right now is night and day, bugs from iOS 13.5 to 13.6 are catastrophic meanwhile Android devices with extremely old operating systems run the latest UI toolkit with very few issues.

If your dock is only able to negotiate a 100Mbit connection despite theoretically being 1000Mbit, and you're experiencing dropped packets, it might not be your dock. That sounds like an issue with ethernet cabling. Bad cabling will usually result in ports not being able to negotiate their max potential throughput, and sometimes they'll negotiate higher than what they can realistically do.

All of agriculture is a good example. We produce far more food today while agriculture employs a far smaller proportion of the population. The improved productivity in agriculture has in no way increased demand for agricultural labour proportional to the increases in productivity.

If you mean across all products, we're not there yet, not least because population growth has provided ongoing stimulus. Whether that continues as growth rates in more and more countries flatline remains to be seen.

Then having held the visitor on your site for a minute or two, but managing to leave them unsatisfied, how about ending the page with a big fat block of even more visual click-bait content at the bottom (Taboola, I'm looking at you).

I feel like their response is not at all an overreaction. The plugin author was underhanded in their conduct. I wouldn't want to use a platform which allowed nonsense like that to proliferate, so am happy to see dubious stuff like this removed.

Not everything is a monolith. There exist people who want to actually do something about their market power, as there exist people who want to actually do something about Apple's. The people doing it to pressure them will use the same arguments, because the arguments are good.

But if Facebook is sufficiently compliant, the lack of meaningful consequences will increase in probability.

None of this is perfectly immutable. If the public wanted Facebook broken up really bad, it might happen. But there's a strong chance it goes the same way as Microsoft, i.e. people want something done, so there is a case filed against them, people assume something is being done, and then years later they settle the case without addressing anything and the company is now ten times bigger than they were when they were already too big.

It's not that public pressure doesn't matter, it's that there isn't currently enough of it to make change. Especially when the targets control the discourse.

Who wants to make odds that social media algorithms are deprioritizing criticism or critics of social media market power?

Obesity is one of the big contributors to Covid infections that require complex hospital care. The two are linked.

That's why I think vaccination schemes that offered free food were undermining the "following the science" bit.

As was the banning of the popular "Parkrun" in the UK, which is a collective outdoor exercise event, during the lockdown.

So many policies have undermined the "follow the science" bit in my mind.

Parties and campaigns already buy & maintain huge private databases on this stuff. They wouldn't hesitate to buy slightly more to have that info, because gerrymandering is so powerful.

Watchdogs and groups trying to fight gerrymandering (racially-tilted or otherwise) usually don't have as many resources. It's harder for the public to keep an eye on this without public data, while keeping it private-only barely inconveniences the most relevant bad actors.

If I'm not mistaken, these claims stem from studies modelling droplet diffusion, obviously no experiment could pass ethics for an actual infection exposure.
