yes, the main advantage is that the web runs on "everything", but then the added complexity of needing 4 different programming languages and half a dozen build tools don't put it in a state where it has "never been easier"

even Java+Swing was better in pretty much every respect (other than providing employment for tens of "web developers")
I don't understand your use of the word "triage". Unless I am mis-understanding, you are defining it as "we will triage unvaccinated Covid patients as "not needing care"". In which case - everything I've said still stands. Should we triage smokers with lung cancer as "not needing care"? You would also be conflating "triage a medical condition" with "make a moral judgement about deserving care".

Obviously there isn't a "bad choice" if the "right choice" has been forced on everyone (which is nearer the truth).

>I must have missed the huge numbers of lung cancer patients clogging up the healthcare system

You should look a bit harder.

And that's just one of many largely self-inflicted but expensive conditions that people receive treatment for, and (at least in the UK) at huge amounts of expense to the taxpayer.

>Why don't you go find out? I think the answer will surprise you!

Just to be clear, you said that "the healthcare system [was] full of those who didn't get vaccinated".

Finding out the percentage of hospitalisations that were unvaccinated and Covid-related does require comparing a few data sources, so it's not a simple Google away. I'll focus on mechanical ventilation usage, as that was the easiest data to find, and use UK data as that's where I live.

First - the easy number to find is the percentage of Covid patients in ICU who are unvaccinated. It varied during the main pandemic months between 50% and 75%[1]. Let's call it 62%.

Next - how many patients is that? Picking the end of December, that's around 750[2].

Finally - how many mechanical ventilators are available in total? It varies, but 5000 is a good number[3].

Multiplying it all out, the percentage of ventilated beds that were occupied at the end of December 2021 by unvaccinated, Covid-positive people was 9%.

Who's surprised?

> classic random forest / decision trees have trouble with time series predictions

This is not true. The trick is you have to convert your longitudinal data to be cross-sectional via feature engineering of lagged features. There are also related tricks like expanding datetimes into features like day of week, day of month, etc. This can be a lot of work, though there are software tools which help do this.

Some general time-oriented feature engineering plus a vanilla random forest is a great second baseline (after LOCF), and then if needed you can spend 10x the time tuning a GBM to beat that.

If you have a GPU, checkout fastai's tabular learning stuff; easy feature eng and neural nets with embeddings can do a lot with low effort.
> Yes, an app is to be treated as a disposable thing with a shelf life of a few years at best.

The part that worries me is that a lot of physical items can only be configured via apps. That's effectively limiting the useful life of those as well, even if the hardware itself lasts for much longer.
It's not clear and obvious that this and the following 5 paragraphs mean that the technology is "fundamentally unsound" either. It's just that there are big problems we haven't yet figured out how to work with.

Though it is true that we don't know the degree to which we will be successful at developing this technology, and we know there are fundamental properties we will need to contend with (for better and for worst), this is entirely consistent with how "early technology" develops.

AFAIK, even "commercially oriented" quantum computing projects are better understood as being in a research stage at this time. When you do research, in general, it feels daunting and it's not at all obvious that things are going to work. (my field is biochem)

+1, beyond the most obvious reasons that companies are moving away from Excel (too much data to process, not enough robust automation features), there are important workflow management reasons that companies are making the transition.

More and more, we're hearing that companies want to use software engineering practices on their data analytics workflows -- things like version control, easily understanding what edits are applied by looking at the code, and even things like CI to automatically build dashboards from the most up to date data.

While you technically could build tooling around Excel to do a lot of these things, its much easier and already exists in the Python ecosystem.

LOL ... the west teaching Putin and Russia a lesson in economics....

Europeans and now the rest of the world have to bear the brunt of the economic fallout from these "sanctions" and the war with Ukraine, which are not hurting Russia at all btw, but benefiting the Russian economy and the strength of the Ruble.

Klaus Schwab and the WEF has done it again, bringing the world one step closer to his vision of 2030, where we will own nothing (and they own everything) thanks to his lacky and dog Putin, who was a Young Global Leader in the WEF.

If you didn't realize it, we are all being played. This war is nothing but a smokescreen to enact the agendas of the Schwab and the WEF.

"In a 2017 interview, Klaus Schwab said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been recognized as a Young Global Leader, and also mentioned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: "I have to say, when I mention now names, like Mrs. (Angela) Merkel and even Vladimir Putin, and so on, they all have been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum. But what we are very proud of now is the young generation like Prime Minister (Justin) Trudeau … We penetrate the cabinet. So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I know that half of his cabinet, or even more than half of his cabinet, are actually Young Global Leaders."

Network Software Developer - I have 6+ years of experience in the design and the implementation of network monitoring tools, working as a freelance/contractor.
I've designed and implemented L7 firewalls, network shapers, policy routing, IDS, DPI, WiFi/LAN monitoring tools (also in OpenWRT), VPN software and Android apps.
I'm the creator of PCAPdroid, a no-root open source app to capture, analyze and block network connections in Android, which I've integrated into commercial products.

I’m passionate about programming and I never stop learning. I enjoy experimenting new technologies, finding innovative solutions, learning how to secure and break systems, digging into low level code, develop and contribute to
privacy-centric open source projects. I'm mainly interested in the following areas: cybersecurity, EDR - Endpoint detection and response, network monitoring/traffic control, Android backend, VPN, linux kernel development.

Sure, and if it fails move it to the spam folder. In the article Microsoft are discarding emails because the sender hasn't got much of a reputation yet. That's a very weak reason.

Telephony is one of the analogies. Many developing countries' rural villages could simply leapfrog the landline telephone technology and move directly to cell phones.

Computers - instead of desktops, straight to smart phones and tablets.

Banking - instead of a lot of bank branch offices and having to travel and queue, straight to online banking (and even being very advanced compared to many western countries).

It could be so with refrigeration. Solar power is potentially a really good fit for that.

I understand this concept, but that's not the point. The GP was condescendingly referring to people outside of the US as being unable to understand freedom of speech or slippery legal slopes. We do in fact understand it, it's just that we don't all agree that the American cultural model is conducive to freedom overall, as evidenced by the current state of the country.

Honestly? First, teaching me programming and about electronics and computers. I was a girl born in 1988 so that wasn't a given, and I've both dodged a lot of bullets and have a lot of skills that turned out to be very useful. (E.G My dad started teaching me about relational databases as a kid bc he was an accountant and used them - this was way before they were used to store information for web apps.)

Second, discussing current events and politics from multiple perspectives/teaching me to exist in spaces with people who disagree with me. My family members are all over the map politically.

Third, consequence based rules. I didn't have a curfew, but I did have provisions that I would have one if I either a.) started missing school/work or b.) didn't arrange my logistics and needed to wake up parents to come drive me home. The rules always had REASONS. (On the other hand, other authority figures weren't fans of this...)

Here in the UK, we effectively turned our nursing homes into COVID treatment facilities. Thanks to the global fear of Covid, we decided that the best strategy was to empty the hospitals (discharging many old folks back to their care homes in the process), in preparation for a huge wave of the young and old, all in a critical state with Covid.

That didn't happen, but what did happen is that all the old folks gave each other Covid and died anyway.

> In the case of the Internet Bubble stocks were down 78%, but it was not hard to do well in the end given diversification and a long enough horizon.

This is untrue. If you were invested in what became the stars of that era: Amazon, Red Hat, Cisco, a few others, you eventually made decent money, although far worse than if you had stayed out and bought the dip.

If you had a diversified portfolio of 'new economy' stocks which didn't include a few winners like this, you might have lost over 95% of your money and never got it back. Lots and lots of stocks simply disappeared or were bought for peanuts. Many others, including lots of very very highly rated ones like Yahoo never exceeded their bubble-era peaks.
Per the other thread about this, I think it's more accurate to say "TikTok-related data hacked". This seems to have come from a third-party, assuming it is real.

TIL. Good one.
The only web stuff I've made in my software career don't work anymore because of JavaScript/browser changes. And those broke within a year or two of me making them. So I can't identify with the author's sentiment.
There are people who have "stuff" that's not always with them, stored elsewhere, used infrequently, etc. I've got AirTags on these things just so I have something that can easily identify where they've been moved if they happen to be.

So, yes - I'd use the tags location to track the item because the items wouldn't be easy to hide. And as others have said if you've located your stolen property the police will respond during an active situation.

I use AirTags and my main phone is not Apple. So if Tile comes out with a more targeted approach for this "stuff" of mine I'd be willing to drop AirTags because of the annoying beeping when "lost" and other issues the walled garden creates.

That's just hard to do with a topic like this. There are committed people on both sides of the issue who know what they want to hear. That's not a good environment for science to find a neutral answer.
I think it is not enough of a sense of quality and too much pressure or gamification of getting things published. And fundamentally lots of researchers need to be more interested in finding the truth and considerably better at statistics.
Yes the less specialized something is the harder it is to prove what the intended use case was.

I know guns kill way more people each year than baseball bats, but there were a few people killed with baseball bats last year. It's way easier to buy a baseball bat without leaving evidence, plus it's much easier to claim plausible deniability if you get caught with one, so let's regulate baseball bats.
Hurricanes and floods do far more infrastructure damage on large scales (tornado effects being more localized) than extreme heatwaves do, however - and decaying infrastructure is a huge problem across much of the United States.

Why exactly the USA has such a huge infrastructure problem is debatable. Maybe it's the concentration of wealth and political power in fewer locations, i.e. some regions of the West and East Coasts? Maybe it's too much money being earmarked by Congress to military-industrial projects in their home districts, leaving little for things like rebuilding water supply systems, railroads and bridges, improved electricity grids, etc.? A decreased overall tax base due to a steep reduction in tax rates (particularly on the wealthiest) since the 1960s? Financialization of the economy and a resulting lack of engineering expertise and interest in infrastructure development?

As far as infrastructure for heat waves, termite-mound-inspired architecture would be the way to go. Build bunkers with large capacity that people can retreat to, with built-in cooling mechanisms.

https://wyss.harvard.edu/news/termite-mounds-could-inspire-n...

> "The team’s observations show that thin, outer channels of the mound heat up rapidly during the day when compared to the deeper tunnels in the mound, which causes air to circulate in a closed-loop convection cell. During the day, air moves up along the outer channels and down the center. At night, the flow is reversed. This reversal flushes out the carbon dioxide from deep inside the mound, and the gas then diffuses through the porous walls."
Some of the comments in this thread point to violent stories beginning with these types of trackers. I don’t think we’ll hear about comparatively dramatic happy endings facilitated by quick geolocation. Your examples. Thwarted child abductions, via a tracker in a car seat. Critical medicine shipments. I’d argue these are a boon for ordinary people. And ordinary people with some geolocation info who need help from the authorities. And prosecutors following the owner of a discovered tracker.
Individual studies shouldn't be the primary focus. It shouldn't fall to every individual researcher to be fully accurate and honest. This is just not possible because people are imperfect, and have all the wrong incentives in many cases.

What we need is a system designed to deal with this better. My suggestion would be greater incentives to the publication of negative results, and incentives to reproduce research. Create a system that encourages reproduction as a second step to peer review. This should also increase quality. If your research can't be easily reproduced it's probably not doing a whole lot of good even if ultimately you got the right answers.

Test driven research, if you will.
