What needs to be done is a comparative study during an overlapping period of Delta and Omicron infection to rule all out all the confounding factors that happen when looking at waves in entirely separate time periods.

That got done recently for transmissibility recently with the Danish study (which finds no difference in intrinsic transmissibility between Omicron and Delta and that the advantage Omicron has is entirely immune escape):

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.27.21268278v...

Then your unvaccinated group that you're comparing to in the Delta and Omicron waves are equally susceptible to disease and any cryptic spread and immunity may be present but will be equal.

The South Africa study cannot do this which means they're comparing different time points and they have many confounding factors. That is not strong evidence.

Plus best they get is that Omicron is about 1/4 of Delta which is 1/2 of D614G which is still terrible. That is still just SARS-CoV-2 levels and not the factor of 10 that would turn it into influenza.
Capitalism is just people being free to own what they produce or acquire in trade, and do with it what they wish. What people do within this context, is up to them.

This attribution of a value system, e.g. consumerism or profit-seeking, to capitalism, is misguided, and a way for certain ideological camps to pathologize and stigmatize human freedom.
Quite and very much this.

Where the change is needed and previous rationale can't be determined, if possible:

- Note that you've made the change.

- That the previous rationale wasn't clear.

- If possible, provide for backing out the change if it proves ill-advised.

Often an initial approach can be to disable or bypass a specific mechanism. E.g., put a gate in a fence, a bridge over a gap, disable a feature, etc. Watch to see what does or doesn't fail.

In software, specific time-triggered events may exercise infrequently-traversed paths --- end of week, month, year, etc. Naturally, these are hard to detect in advance. More convoluted are conditions triggered rarely (lunar cycle ~= 19 years, leap years, Unix epoch overflows, etc.).

This is where documentation and QA engineering will save butts.
Sure, but the point is that their business is not viable then. If it's illegal to serve childporn and imgur can't profitably detect if it's serving childporn or not, then imgur is doomed. I think no one would dispute that?

I don't think this is an apt analogy because trees were bulldozed to build the city, not true of the internet which has essentially infinite real-estate. Nothing was bulldozed to create the "new" internet, the new internet was created and new people joined it, the old internet just never achieved "web scale" and never could because it isn't a corporate product being driven by growth hacking and marketing spend.
> You’re buying access to market share.

What does this even mean?

> Owning a piece of the economy is what folks are doing with their 35 PE share purchases, particularly if they think the revenue as a percentage of market is going to grow.

If any given market shrinks in absolute terms, it doesn't matter if "market share" goes up. 100% of 5 customers is 5 customers.

Loop order and in-memory striding choice in general is a pretty interesting. I worked on an old voxel-based game engine that used a very complicated on-disk storage format. It seemed.. unnecessary, so I experimented with very simplified strategy of literally writing out voxel color bytes to a stream and gzipping it, which turned out to be both faster and smaller in my application. iirc it was like 10x smaller but only if I used the right striding order.

I knew that the striding order benefits would only work on voxel data similar to the data I was testing on, and I wanted to generalize it so that it could be configured dynamically so each dataset could use the best striding order for that particular data. I tried setting up numpy ndarray so that you could configure the memory striding order independently of the array indices so that my code wouldn't have to change if the striding order changed, but I could never get it to work and unfortunately I wasn't able to convince numpy folks I interacted with that this feature would be helpful.
Red has been the symbolic color of every socialist movement since the French Revolution.
They still have better health and dental care than medieval kings, who had zero of both. They didn't even have toothbrushes or any notion of dental or medical hygiene.

BTW, those miniseries on the lives of medieval royalty that are popular today are romantic fantasies. For example, the only warm place in a castle in winter is right next to the fireplace. They had no concept of central heating, not even an iron stove. Do you want to live through a winter in England with no heating?

How about being around people who never, ever bathed? What do you think happened to all the poop in the castle? Did the cooks ever wash their hands? Most of your kids are going to die before they're adults.
The same outcome would befall wind and solar energy if you applied the same regulatory structure and burden to them. Cost would balloon and innovation would stop.

Try making wind farms abide the same siesmic requirements and end of life plans that we hold nuclear to. They would become wildly expensive and uneconomical.

Swap regulatory structures between wind and nuclear, wait two decades and you’ll see a bunch of NYT articles talking about how toxic it is for workers and the environment to be sawing fiberglass wind turbine blades into pieces to dump in a landfill when they are no longer economically viable due to asinine regulations.

There is a saying about thrust and bricks around here somewhere... one example does not the ecosystem make. That said there are examples of SoC's which get attention and manufactures which do a better job than 3 years, but its the exception rather than the rule, and the updates frequently are quite late.

If your willing to dedicate an engineer or two to keeping it running then so be it. I can assure you that your average 10 year old PC running Linux probably hasn't gotten that much attention since before it was released. But then again, PC's adhear to industry standards and are mostly iterative designs.

In the article I see a few pictures of the guy with his large, seemingly happy family. Getting rid of the opportunity for that to happen would be like creating another tragedy from the ashes of the first. I don’t know where you’re from, but in America a lot of folks share your view. But our use of the death penalty hasn’t eradicated crime. So then one has to wonder if the possible benefits are worth the price.
Yeah, it's a very widely used technique to use slow scripting languages (with or without operator overloading) to set up some kind of graph describing a computation that takes a lot longer to run than the scripting-language statement takes to interpret. In addition to Beam, we could mention the Unix shell, Pandas, Numpy, TensorFlow, SQL, SQLAlchemy, APL, Lush, PIL, CSS, some Linux system calls like sendfile(), maybe Apache SPARK, etc.

>government is generally bad at using capital

This is hardly true, and is only "common" wisdom due to an incredibly effective PR campaign by Ronald Reagan. In the 60s, when we were sending people to the moon, people didn't generally hold such contempt for government. Any large government is no more dysfunctional than a large private corporation - the inside of Google isn't all sunshine and roses.

>that it can print as much as it wants

Just because you don't see it come out of your paycheck doesn't mean it's not a tax. It's an undemocratic, flat tax that is paid with inflation.
Matrix multiplication is O(n^3), while transposing is O(n^2). So for a large matrix, transposing will only take a tiny fraction of the time spent in multiplication. (But the loop reordering trick mentioned in @mynameismon's link is a very nice alternative.)
It pretty much comes down to labor costs. I spent some time in VN and anything that requires unskilled labor is incredibly inexpensive.

Delivery? Sure, someone will bring it across the city, in the next hour for 35,000 Dong ($1.50USD).

Want to buy shoes? Msg a store, they’ll send pictures, choose a few and they send a store employee over to your house to try them on.

That is changing though. Covid completely messed up the labor market and rather than get locked down, losing your job and still having to pay rent and food, people just went back to the countryside with family and are staying there for now.

As a result labor shortages, even nannies, and wages are going up. I think it’s a good thing, it’s the bottom moving up.

I expect you’ll see a similar transition as the UK eventually. Maids and nannies becomes something exclusive to the rich. Unless of course they continue to import them from lower income countries - a la Singapore.

Conferences cost money. You have to rent an appropriate venue, people tend to expect refreshments, etc. Why would it be free just because you are presenting there? So are most of the attendees.
Wouldn't this be inefficient, laborious, and dependent on a land distribution that's starkly at odds with the urban areas where this romanticized view of agriculture gets espoused by techies?

In Egypt, that's true unless you haggle. You can always haggle to get close to Egyptian prices, but if I didn't have my friend with me to show me how to do that, I would have paid American prices the whole trip. I'm sure a lot of places work similarly. At the end of the day, they want to make a sale, doesn't matter who you are just what they think you'll pay.
Anecdotally I heard that Infinite Loop also made every point on the one central hallway into an accidental parabolic microphone -- you could hear basically every conversation in the hallway from any point in the building.

My impression is that Microsoft has done offices very well, but at the cost of locality with team members (since shuffling offices is a great deal more burdensome than shuffling an open floor plan).
They still get free treatment, regardless of their debt. The hospitals just write off those debts, it's covered by the high prices they charge the patients who can pay.
What if they put out warrants for anyone involved and arrested them if they ever went to Canada? Extradition is probably off the table, but I think really the way to disincentivize this kind of garbage is at some level to hold people accountable for what their company does.
That's because being a maid wasn't even seen as an equal to the idea of a "working class job" as we see it now. Someone who had to support a family at that time would have been presumed to have an income from a man's job. Someone working as a maid was presumed to not have their own household to support and had their housing provided.

Where I live they have not been able to build new housing fast enough to keep up with rising population over the last thirty years. The prices increase directly proportional to the current velocity of new housing availability at any given moment. If they continue to build new housing at this rate my city will become one of the 10 largest US cities within the next 15 years and the value of my house will boom to more than 3x what I paid for it.

Why? Fixed assets exist outside the supply/demand cycle of high school economics. You can’t make more land but you can always build more houses irrespective of demand. Aside from conjecture and speculation there is no evidence (data) linking house price reduction (not rent) to new housing availability.
That's sufficient to write an emulator at the instruction set level. However, I want to light the console lights accurately. This requires implementation of the internal registers and the microcode, which varies from model to model and isn't documented in the Principles of Operation.

OHHH. Looking at the Infix class carefully I realize it's not actually |add| as a single operator but using the right or __ror__ to partially apply the function, then using the left or __or__ to fully apply it. Wrapping it up in a decorator class is really neat!

Thanks for adding more context.

You do seem to be making assumptions and having expectations on how the team and how Google should operate. Regarding Java, I don't find the claims that Java isn't as good as Go compelling. For you, sure, but to make general claims is silly. There are many successful companies and productive developers using Java.

There are probably companies that are very productive in how you would want to pick and choose languages based on the problem. IMO, the language choice is not all that important, though I do think PHP, JavaScript, and similarly poorly designed languages are probably a hinderance (but again there are many successful companies using these like you said, so I think that's convincing that the language doesn't really matter all that much).
> The primary purpose of journalism is to hold public officials to account.

No, that's a benefit journalist enterprises sell.

The primary purpose of journalism (at least, in a capitalist society), is, as for any other industry, to capture and deliver value to the capitalist class.

Income well above average, but that's a flow, not a stock. She probably didn't consider herself wealthy because she didn't have a lot of wealth, like wealthy people have.

Wealth, especially pre-World Wars, in the UK as elsewhere in Europe meant owning land and collecting rents. You didn't get wealthy by having a high income. You had a high income because you were wealthy.
Go JOSS!

Yes, the cost is excruciating and beyond excessive.

Given that every submission can be preceded by multiple bioRxiv versions and followed by a definitive PubMed Central version that was reviewed (perhaps embargoed for 6-12 months), who actually pays these charges?

I suspect this is a theoretical charge in most cases. The exception might be for those who are compelled to provide immediate unfettered access to their work.
That is a very simplistic view of addiction; High functioning addiction is the norm - Purdue made billions creating them. I'm sure - at your workplace in a major city like SF or NY you have worked with people addicted to Benzos, Cocaine, or Alcohol. Most of them will tell you they can "quit any time" (they can't), but are still capable of taking a shower and showing up to work.

>Treating a homeless drug addict as a victim of poverty is like giving cough medicine to a person with lung cancer. It does not work.

There are two levels of food insecurity described in your source. Why did you only quote the one?

Very low food security—In these food-insecure households, normal eating patterns of one or more household members were disrupted and food intake was reduced at times during the year because they had insufficient money or other resources for food.

3.9 percent (5.1 million) of U.S. households had very low food security at some time during 2020.

And according to the graph at the bottom it's still true that people who are Low Food Security are hungry -- just at a lower yet non-zero rate compared to Very Low Food Security.

> Where I live they have not been able to build new housing fast enough to keep up with rising population over the last thirty years.

Yes, because rules in the US handicap new housing growth.

> The prices increase directly proportional to the current velocity of new housing availability at any given moment.

Yes, because they have the same cause: demand increasing.

Imagine that every car maker was heavily constrained in how many cars they could make. As demands for cars rise, they find every angle to try and produce more cars, but the price keeps going up. Did the new supply cause the price to rise? No, they just have the same cause.

There have been myriad studies on this, almost every economist finds that new housing in booming areas makes housing prices less bad than they would be otherwise.

> You can’t make more land but you can always build more houses irrespective of demand.

This isn't true. Zoning severely handicaps more housing in the places people want to live.

Well, except for Houston (sorta), and indeed, rent there seems substantially lower than other major cities in Texas like Dallas and Austin.
The way I understood your parent comment:

- The vendor charges every customer according to the customer's social class. A white guy pays through the nose. A servant-class local pays a modest amount. It doesn't matter who the food is supposed to be for.

- Thus, it is cheaper for the white guy to hire a housekeeper than to buy and prepare his own food. The white guy's food, if he has a housekeeper, will only cost as much as the housekeeper has to pay for food, because the housekeeper is responsible for buying it. And the savings relative to the white-guy price cover the housekeeper's wages.
I detailed this in another comment, the reason desktops use it is to get those macOS-style permission dialogs that pop up when you try to take some privileged action. I don't think any desktop distribution wants to ask users to open a terminal and type "sudo usermod" and then log out and log back in in order to do something like setting the clock or formatting a usb drive. I don't remember this working well at all before polkit arrived either, I remember when device hotplug in Linux was really broken for this reason (and a few others). It's not reasonable to ask desktop users to edit udev rules when plugging in a new device. If it worked well at all it was because you were doing things like having a lot of suid/sgid tools or just running GUI programs as root which is a terrible idea.

>Who is trying to prevent the user from using their own hardware?

I don't understand this question. The functionality here is equivalent to sudo, you type your password to authenticate a certain action. As the sysadmin you can configure some actions to always accept or always deny, if you want.
