If you have a look at the background and affiliation of the authors, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why the country of study is Sweden without having to resort to mildly conspiratorial thinking.

Not saying that there is no political nonsense going on related to the subject at hand. But this is (to a scientist in a different field) a well-authored article in a respectable journal. Thus I think it is a fair addition to a very complex debate that will likely continue among scientists long after the pandemic settles.

Edit: I may be wrong about the journal. Springer has a rather elaborate network of journals using their “brands” and it looks to me like this one is far from receiving the same level of editorial scrutiny that one would expect [1]. The hint may be “communications” in the name, possibly indicating that this is a more to be treated like a scientific opinion piece (still, far better than an op-ed) than anything else. It also appears to be in the area of humanities and social sciences rather than “pure” medicine for some reason; with a majority of the editorial board lacking relevant expertise [2]. Anyone more familiar with publishing in medicine, medical policy, etc. is more than welcome to chime in.

It's the tradeoff of having such low orbits that a StarLink customer might be closer to a satellite than a terrestrial ISP's nearest node. Lower orbit means less surface coverage, so you need more satellites. That's why old-school satellite internet providers put them 20,000+ miles out and have pings pushing or exceeding one second.
Yes, that science. The one that looks at available data and reassesses, rather than taking a potentially incorrect stance and sticking with it for no reason other than to save face.

I did an "epistemic spot check" of the section on Against the Grain, which caught my eye because I just finished reading the chapter on state formation in The Dawn of Everything. Result: It was indeed legible but was oddly false.

I could not find the "well accepted definition" of the state they sourced from Wikipedia [1]. They give the impression that there is an overwhelming consensus as to what the definition is, whereas the Wikipedia page actually states throughout "there is no undisputed definition of a state", "there is no academic consensus on the definition of the state", and provides multiple different definitions. I have not read Against the Grain, but it seems entirely reasonable for the author to offer their own definition, though it sounds like they could have been more forth coming with it.

If you don't tax resales, first auction will go for a higher price.

(Just like houses that come with less ongoing taxes or other burdens go for more money.)
You act like excess deaths is an easy analysis, but deaths vary significantly year or year. What you baseline are makes a big difference.

And considering we’re not even through the epidemic it seems like it’s a bit early to call winners and losers.
Additionally to the lack of generics, all references/pointers in Java/Go can be null/nil (so you can't express that a reference points to something) and all fields are zero-initialized (so having every field set to zero must be a valid state for your object). The former was - in reference to ALGOL W - called the billion dollar mistake.
Do you have a source for this? Is this after deskimming the milk? Natural milk has about 3.3% of fat, but commercial milk usually has 3% or less (here you can buy 3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1% and 0% milk, and perhaps other values).

Unless you remove the skim, it's difficult to imagine that some parts just disappear.

> - Calories: 152 -> 146

Dubious: But it's easier to discuss proteins and carbs separately.

> - Protein: 8.14 g -> 8 g

Possible?: Some proteins may denaturalize (like the white of the egg), but they are sill there. Proteins are weird, so I can't say it's impossible.

> - Carbs: 12 g -> 11.4 g

Dubious: Unless you are overheating the milk to make caramel, this is very strange, almost impossible. Carbs are composed of smaller sugar units and with heat they may split or for new bound, but they don't disappear unless it's very hot.

> - Calcium: 28% DV -> 23% DV

Impossible: I don't expect calcium to react with the container or to evaporate, so it's impossible that it goes away. The biological availability may change, but it's difficult to measure.

> - Vitamin D: 24% DV -> 13% DV

Possible: Some vitamins are sensible to heating, and heating them changes the molecular structure to make then unusable, so this is totally possible. I don't remember about vitamin D in particular. Anyway, many commercial milk has additional vitamin A and D.

> - Vitamin B12: 18% DV -> 13% DV

Possible: Idem. Anyway, I but I never heard of milk with additional B12, and other foods are better sources of B12.

- Phosphorus: 22% DV -> 20% DV

Dubious: I don't expect potassium to evaporate. It may react with the container, but I doubt it. The biological availability may change a lot, because phosphorus is used to bind some molecules and they may split and the isolated phosphate may not be as useful.
I can say a lot of people only uses computer for typing papers or watching movies - bigger display and storage. My cousin does everything else on her phone.
Callibella is a small util that reads the events on your personal calendar, and then goes to your work calendar and places "busy" events at the same times. It maintains this one-way sync - updating and deleting events if they changes in your personal calendar, and it doesn't reveal the actual data of your events.

It uses CalDAV behind the scenes, so it's easy to use with any calendar provider, it runs 100% locally (so you can put it behind some cron job and forget about it), and it is as easy to run as `npx callibella`!
Pesticide resistance plants mean a lot less CO2.is.emitted running plows through the earth. Soil that doesn't get disturbed with all those plows also holds absorbed CO2 better. While it is more chemical used, they generally harmless.

I recognize most of the names of the authors. Thus I am not very surprised about their conclusions. Nothing is actually new in this article. It is mostly incoherent writing, with some conspiracy theories thrown in. The usual stuff that has been coming from these authors since the beginning of the pandemic.

And for those confused: this is not published in nature, but in an open access journal owned by nature: "Humanities and Social Sciences Communications". This is not a subsection of Nature, and is rather obscure. I find it unclear what kind of peer-review has been done, but it has certainly not been done well.

This is not some kind of scientific proof of the "Swedish strategy" being crime against humanity. Merely a oddly placed opinion piece.
Google destroyed my Play Developer Account and my work for the last 2 years
“Sweden got it right”

More people died here and continue to die every week, yet our economy still took a big hit and important societal functions have still been harmed. In what way did we “get it right”?
False. Science may be consistent, but governments don’t enact science they enact policy that involves trade offs and risk taking.

That’s why “you don’t need a mask” was just a lie to conserve masks for healthcare workers.

Is that following the science?
basicly what docker-slim does it basicly checks what your program is opening/ using(using simular system as strace) and what it does open/use is then copied to a new image. And how can get those kinds of numbers, basicly it removes parts of rootFS that are not required which is basicly your base images standard files like /etc /home /usr /root..., it also removes all development dependancies, source code and other cruft you might have copied in for use during build or simular.

A few points here.

* people getting samonella from eggs, when those eggs are cooked, has no bearing on my statements about antibiotics in feed, and the safety of raw eggs vs cooked.

If you follow the first link, including going to the FDA, you will see the company responsible for the outbreak was sent a letter, and finally forced closed, as they were not folllowing safe egg handling guidelines.

Samonella can appear in the yolk, which is why antibiotics in chicken feed in North America.

However salmonella can be anywhere, such as in the nest where the hen lays, or 100 other contact surfaces, which is why you should always wash your eggs with soap and water before cracking.

Bets are, the company with the recall and forced close, was not doing so.

So again, to reiterate, cooking or not is not relevant to your link / data.

* You show ground beef in one link, and cooking guidance in another.

Ground beef invalidates "charring the outside", for one has ground up the meat, thus mixing all the bacteria on the outside of a cut of beef, throughout the meat. Always cook ground beef throughout.

If you hunt around, you will find safe guidelines for a cut of beef, which does not require cooking to 75C or what not, all through, to be safe.

One cavaet here...

Some cuts of beef are not as tender, so grocery stores will tenderize them with a mincing tool.

This is basically a tool which creates small slices in the cut, and again, is pushing the bacteria into the interior of te beef. For this reason, one must then cook to safe temps inside.

Lamb and beef do not have parasites we known of, in their flesh, as pork and chicken do. This is why chicken and pork require more stringent cooking instructions....
> How? I live within 2 miles of work and I have a vehicle.

In the post I noted that I live 1.6 miles and have a vehicle, and there are 2 traffic lights.

> under 15 minutes on average

Made a few other points that pre-debate your comment.

> Lol, your life is not everyone.

Yep. That’s why my initial comment wondered about the distribution, and why I linked to the Census writeup, with the distribution. That’s everyone.
Ever go to the beach? You’re breathing in sand.

Dude, DDoS is established as a good source for the leaks. I've downloaded the torrent/magnet myself and it's proper, it has all 10 parts in it. Verified as well by downloading from Mega and comparing hashes, it checks out. Anyway, DDoS is already established as a trusted distributor of data leaks, if you don't know this, I'm not sure why you're throwing around terms like Unit 8200 or Fancy Bear, like you know what you're talking about (which btw, I take as a compliment that you think I'm a part of).

It's not dumbing down to link directly to a trusted source of the data itself. Feel free to use both sources, like I did. But if you want to avoid Twitter and the videos anonymous usually bundles with their announcements, DDoS is a good distraction free source.
So,another systemd in the making... how long until snap takes over dns resolution...
The unit economics of these companies DON’T work (at these high valuations).

From the perspective of someone living in Sweden: considering how the elderly care sector seems to be organised to extract as much privatised profit as possible, rather than to make efficient use of money to help the people in care, I am not surprised that the pandemic response was so uncaring.
I don't know Sweden and Norway well enough to comment. From my experience in other parts of Europe, the situation was more complex.

In countries I've been in, that period coincided with a move from farms, where land was ample, to cities, which were cramped. Big family housing wasn't really available; those cities had apartments which simply didn't really support larger families. Cost wasn't so much an issue for having a cramped 2 or 3 bedroom in the sixties, but beyond that, you moved into ultra-wealthy territory.

So I guess my question is whether you could write a little bit more about the Scandinavian countries. That's my own ignorance speaking.

Japanese cities are super-cramped. I would not want a big family in Tokyo.
you cannot use snap inside a docker or any other OCI container, first of all snap is a containerised package as well so it doesnt make much sense but what is more important it requires SystemD and as far as i know if systemd isnt PID 1 snap deamon wont run and its CLI will output it cant run.
Yes, but posting "They're totally fine" is hardly distinguishing those problems.

If you are going to use your credentials to explain why you do not have a problem with GMOs, but then put in a blanket "Everything is fine" vibe... that doesn't do justice to the problems.
If the computers of the future make use of advances in non-volatile memory, it might change this picture.
I looked into the equivalent setup for WSL a while ago. The thing I could never solve was: how to manage the hosts windows via the virtual environment's WM? Without the integration that setup is just extra config for no gain.

Because if most tools belong to the VM, then just run a VM in full screen and use that. No need to have the display server shared if you're using mostly Linux tools that display on the VM's X server.
I think most younger people are acutely aware that their retirement/pension payments aren’t earmarked for them, but are already being used for today’s retirees.

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but to use your case as an example: you might not have anybody in particular taking care of you, but you might collect social security for the next three or four decades. After your initial investment, the majority of that money will be coming from the current working-age population.
While your personal experience is heartwarming, others here point to what I would describe state-approved cruelty of effectively euthanizing elderly who got seriously sick with covid earlier. That's not cool at all and even if now things are different its a right thing to point to these widespread failures that caused a lot of unnecessary death.
We will probably be more constrained by heat dissipation than resources.

The problem is not running out of material or energy, but the effect of pollution.

My feedback: Please pre-load all the chapter images (or at least a few in advanced) while starting to read a chapter. Having to wait on the next page while reading is a bit cumbersome.
"The science" never made a reassessment on masks though, we didn't learn anything new about how masks work and how effective cloth vs N95 etc. All of the posturing on masks was political. So "Trust the science" really became "trust our politicians bro".
I agree with the general thesis that Bash is unsuited for production work of any complexity, but the coverage of pipelines is incomplete. The only two examples I have found (the examples are images, so I may have missed something) may be implemented in Python by calling sorted(), which is not the case in general. I feel it would be more persuasive if it had at least one example of setting up and running a pipeline.
And this one may be even "better" :)

That hope that is true. All of this plastic might just be inert and not cause any damage. Who knows how long have people been having microplastics in their bloodstream. Decades? It is just that no one tested for it.
Are we sure there's no overlap between the range of impactors susceptible to occlusion and the range of impactors capable of producing a disaster if they strike a populated area?

(Granted it's multiplying small probabilities, but so is this whole discussion, so I don't feel too bad about it.)

The 22,236 mile figure comes from the desire for a geosynchronous orbit. Not a desire for increased coverage.

Many satellites at that altitude use specialized antennas to limit their coverage to specific areas of the earth. There is no sense in wasting the little available energy on a satellite in sending RF to places where you don't intend to provide coverage.
And on that note, I'm off to the beach. :)
A NeRF is not the same as an SDF though. NGP (the paper by Nvidia linked here) can train NeRFs and SDFs, but I don't know of any straightforward way of extracting an SDF from a NeRF.

And while it's true that there are methods for extracting a surface from a NeRF, achieving a high quality result can be challenging because you have to figure out what to do with regions that have low occupancy (i.e. regions that are translucent). Should you consider those regions as contained within the surface, or outside of it? Especially when dealing with things like hair, it's not obvious how to construct a surface based on a NeRF.
they forgot "document everything you did so that your replacement can recreate everything exactly as it was from instructions and backups"
I think we should go a step further and self-flagulate, honestly. Seriously though, this quote made me laugh: "the gene-edited cattle are the same—as far as a consumer is concerned." They should peek in on the anti-vaccine crowd for a glimpse at consumer reality. I'm sure more than a few normies are going to want to see this on the label as well.
Well, growth hacking is a buzzword for a marketing position in a company encountering the steep part of the curve. I suppose one of the innovations is that a widget becomes more attractive to a segment of the population when you bolt on some social functionality, what you’re seeing.

At the top of growth is incumbency. I think that’s where your second paragraph comes in. Incumbents surveil innovations, and “growth hackers” don’t like to talk about this obvious conclusion. They’d rather inhabit a role that concludes once growth has succeeded and slowed.

This is no more revolutionary than traditional marketing. Marxism talks about capitalist marketing as a way to channel alienation among working classes away from collective organization. But, Marx from the beginning needed to market his ideas to different groups. He needed those groups to realize that they needed his political orientation. He tries to do this with abstractions, and explicitly gives up on whole classes he deems unfit to understand those ideas (the lumpenproletariat).

As the product of a growth hacker reaches incumbency, marketing gives way to public relations. We might consider Cambridge Analytica public relations hackers. Same level of statistical sophistication, same single-focus of corporate promotion over all other advancements.
Tangential, but has there been any demoscene attempt to abuse the elements of the DVD-Video UI?
ADDED NOTE:

In my posted I mentioned using tools to heat-map travel times to select residences for optimized commutes.

Here’s a great writeup of “isochrone map generator” tooling:

https://traveltime.com/blog/free-isochrone-map-generator

Here is an example, note outer bubbles tied to faster roads:

https://assets-global.website-files.com/60759e0794bb7b3714fb...

Similar map, with outer bubbles tied to commuter rail:

https://assets-global.website-files.com/60759e0794bb7b3714fb...

So for instance we selected our office to be at an Interstate off ramp and also at a commuter rail station, and I selected my residence to be two blocks up from one exit away against rush hour traffic, and another commuter rail station. Note that when there’s a train, if I don’t count waiting, the train is faster than the car. Unfortunately, trains “on average” make you wait for 1/2 the time between trains, and in the US, the train and the delay may not be predictable.
Another one from google: flatbuffers. We use this at work mostly to be able to be ISSU proof in out data models. It has some useful features for this like checking that the evolution of a data model is in line with ISSU compliancy guidelines, which we check in CI.
And std::unordered_map is then the slow version in C++ compared to absl::flat_hash_map or folly::F14FastMap
Hot take: social security is a Ponzi scheme.
> the narrative of Swedish exceptionalism is so strong, especially on the Internet, that I wouldn't be surprised if this will tried to be burried.

I always thought this was an American thing, but turns out just about every nation has this to some extent.
> Systems such as Linux, MacOS and windows?

Of them, only MacOS implements POSIX fully. Windows doesn't. Linux implements a subset.
I don't think there's any objective measure by which software has not become more complex over time.

The uefi bootloader contains more code and complexity than your average 90s OS. Your smartphone is running at least two, possibly more operating systems. Desktop software of the past decades did not have to deal with even a fraction of the security considerations of even a simple web app. The base runtime of your typical managed language alone is more complex than complex desktop apps of the past.

> How are you supposed to check if it really does that if you haven't got the slightest idea about programming?

This one is easy: you check if its output matches your expectation. In the same way you don't need to know how to program a calculator in order to use one.

If you want to get fancy, you could even ask it to encode your expectations as a test suite.

You may be surprised to hear that a large amount, maybe even the majority, of academic research does not use source control, unit testing, etc, yet they still manage to get work done.

I've even encountered this in industrial research from teams in large companies that you'd expect to know better...
This was heartbreaking to read. What disturbs me most is the lack of any face-to-face time for this distributed team. I understand that not everyone likes to use a webcam, but to have gone 7 years without ever seeing your colleague's face seems, in my opinion, a symptom of a big managerial problem. Software engineers are usually humans, and teams composed of humans should make some effort to interact in a human way -- face to face (even just once a year!)

It's also easier to get measure on how people are doing emotionally when you see them in person semi-regularly. (Not always, of course, but when you get to know people in person and learn their body language, you get a sense of their emotional baseline, and it gets easier to notice when something is off. Of course, none of this matters when there is no HR support because an employee is "just a contractor")
I am shocked that the enclosing letter to the DVD is typed in a standard Word template with a Calibri typeface, without attempts to create a consistent experience between the letter and the rest of the package.

Is this the modern-day equivalent of a handwritten letter?
>It is obvious that many of the "Anonymous" hacks are just a cover for state level or state-backed actors.

This has always been the case though. Not just Anonymous either, look at many of the massive leaks like Panama/Pandora which were almost devoid of US-based people, making it obvious that US Intelligence was likely behind the leaks.
