EXACTLY, the Flu strain had a lower R value than COVID-19. So, the experiment has been done, proving that masks work as expected, even badly implemented.

Two different airborne diseases, F and C, with R0 values under unprotected conditions of something like F=3 and C=9, and masking very badly implemented [0,1,2,3,4]. The results are that disease F went completely extinct, but disease C was slowed in areas with better compliance, but still persevered, and mutated in favor of better-spreading strains such that the unprotected R0 of current strains is ~15.

This unequivocally shows that there is a real public health benefit to simple measures of using N95 masks, and strongly suggests that better implementation (e.g., full supply and broader use) would improve containment, reducing cases, and reducing the rate of cases, allowing for better treatment.

There is no requirement that the measures be perfect, indeed it is a multi-layered approach that works for public health, due to the dynamics of disease.

>>Again, listen to me. I'm not telling you merely that I disagree with you. I'm telling you that you have no power over me, and you never will.

Yes, that was evident from the beginning, and you've confirmed it.

Your attitude has nothing to do with actual science, and everything to do with serious ignorance about how public health works, a hard unwillingness to help your fellow citizens, hostility to anyone who might slightly inconvenience you, and a misguided idea of "muh fredumbs' mixed with entitlement.

The fact is no one GAF about controlling you; you are just not that important to anyone but you (I'm not either, and contrary to your assertion, IDGAF abt "controlling" you either).

Wearing N95s is no different a safety measure than hard hats or steel-toed shoes on a worksite, or seat belts in a car or airplane. If you think that is somehow an affront to your manhood or whatever, shows you have real issues. Seriously. Perhaps you will learn to join society as a contributing member and stop acting like a spoiled petulant child. We can all hope so.

[0] WHO and CDC failed to emphasize the importance of N95-quality masks, likely in an effort to preserve limited stocks for the healthcare workers (they knew N95s work)

[1] the supply of N95-level masks was constrained so many people used only makeshift or lower-quality masks.

[2] many people were very lax about using masks, consistently failing to cover their nose, or just wearing them as a 'chin-diaper' to comply but not really.

[3] a significant part of the population turned it into a misguided political event, adamantly refusing to wear masks and belligerently intimidation others and businesses to not wear them and not require them.

[4] inconsistent measures implemented in different countries, some much stronger and some much weaker.

It's because the first phone browsers had an insane default, and the standards body decided the insanity should be kept for backwards compatibility.

Yes, ultimately if you don’t have a clear vision of the problem you’re solving and the value you’re providing then success will be impossible. And most people confuse building features with providing value or solving a problem and so most projects fail.

If you’re able to define the problem you’re solving and what counts as “solved” then success it’s much easier. It’s also much clearer from the start when a problem is intractable. And it’s easy to tell if you’re not ready to start building yet.

I find that I only really feel fully rested after lunch if I get 2-2.5 hours. So, I wish this was normal. When I was doing a coding bootcamp I was doing the most hard mental work of my life. I coded/was in class about 12 hours a day. I took 2.5 hour lunch breaks. It was the only possible way for me to operate on that level. I think if it was acceptable for me to work 8:30-12 and then 3-6:30 i would probably get way more work done.

But, when your answer to your problems is "We need more power" and you already have a really disproportionate amount of it then of course feminists are not going to be happy about that.

> GOS's limited device support is disappointing, but I understand their reasoning.
Our specific hardware requirements are listed at https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices. It's a very concrete list of requirements there rather than subjective things. You can select a device and go through the list checking what's supported, and it will make sense why we can't support it. It's far more than a few minor things missing on other devices. They're missing basic things required to have features like encryption working for most users. Most Android devices don't meet bare minimum security requirements. At least 2 of the features we list exist because of us pushing for them from Pixels. There's another feature shipping around April which we proposed, and it will definitely be added to the list right away because it's critically important for defending against forensic data extraction before the device gets data back at rest via our auto-reboot timer after locking.

> I still wish they'd release "GrapheneOS Minus" (in the vein of uBlock Origin Minus[0]) so a much larger audience could have 95% of the security benefits they'd have on Pixel hardware.

It would not be anywhere close to providing 95% of the security benefits. In fact, it would largely be reducing security as the baseline without the hardware having proper alternate OS support. If you unlock a Samsung phone, the next closest to meeting our requirements, you cripple the device's security. Many of the hardware security features aren't available for an alternate OS and some even remain permanently disabled if you lock with the stock OS again. How can we support a device like that? Many of these hardware security features are what the OS security features are built on. Our work on integrating MTE into hardened_malloc and turning Android and Chromium's MTE support into something that can be used in production doesn't do any good on a device with no MTE, but this applies far beyond MTE. MTE alone is a significant part of the exploit protection advantages we're providing and is going to grow as we do more MTE integration work including potentially getting stack allocation MTE enabled in a way that doesn't break app compatibility (stack scanning by GC, etc.).

Recommend reading through our security requirement list. It will make much more sense. It's not an exhaustive list of what we require but is what we were able to turn into clear concrete requirements which should be expected for all reasonably secure mobile devices.

People who don't feel want to have what they observe, but don't understand it. So they develop their own reasons. Normal people get an emotional reward from human contact.

Something similar is common in victims of trauma as well. The trope is the woman with "daddy issues", which are more complex, who try to fill a void they have with sexual relationships. Instead of seeking an absent male relationship, they manipulate to get a "friendship", and are often very skilled at meticulously building this friendship, without the emotional connection that governs our behavior. They are seeking a means to an end - which may include just feeling something.

I had an acquaintance like this, who became a very scary individual as he became an older teen. I cut him out completely at 13 when I suspected he harmed a neighbor's cat.

As the author of the article stated, it doesn't make her evil. But she is dangerous, as her motivations are different her behavior is probably governed more by her executive control part of the brain, which is high labor and highly rational. "Rational" sounds great to engineers, but people make very disturbing rational decisions when they build a system of unusual assumptions.

Shouldn’t he have been locked up for contempt and perjury like 100 times for this stunt?

Shouldn’t his pathological lying gotten cases dismissed, or himself committed into an institution involuntarily?
There are, but not for the reasons the root comment was suggesting. I don’t think billionaires want people to hold extremist views about the opposite gender. I think that’s even against their best interests in many cases. But some groups do push a narrative that unintentionally makes people feel isolated. I think this is more a side effect than a directly intended effect.

Czecho-Slovakia was a multicultural country with more than one language in common use. This was arguably one of the shortcomings that led to its WWII era capitulation.
Well, I guess she isn’t lying about being a sociopath…
> TBH, they did not receive a whole lot of support from their prior allies, to say the least, ahead of the capitulation.

The "support" Czechoslovakia received from the western allies was an order to capitulate to German demands.

As a reminder, this was the situation in 1938: https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/u314/erding/Cz_map_15...

The situation was much more hopeless than e.g. Ukraine was/is in. The Czech part was almost completely surrounded by Germany (controlling Austria and Silesia). Slovak part had a long border with Nazi-allied Hungary. Poland was not friendly at the time (taking part in the partition). The only kinda friendly neighbor was the tiny sliver of border in the east with Romania.

If the Czechoslovakia decided to fight, it would be accused of aggression by the western powers (who basically declared Germany is in the right in Munich).

37 Signals Principles

78 seems so young to die. I suppose my family is lucky to have good longevity genes and disciplined enough to live fairly healthy lifestyles. I have 3/4 grandparents still alive and relatively healthy in the mid 90s and several great and great-great grandparents lived past 100 even at times when that was even less likely than it is today.

I do expect there's going to be some revolutionary enhancements to human longevity over the next century. Not as optimistic as Kurzweil, but perhaps the oldest old will shift from ~120 to ~150 and the median from ~78 to ~100

over the years I have read arguments from both sides. It is not healthy to sleep after food! It is healthy to sleep after food.

I just tried it myself.

And it did help a lot to sleep after food. Limiting in take of sugar/carbs does help. However, personally going on diet like this does NOT suite me. I rather eat the food I want to eat and rest a bit, than watch what I need to eat.
If they supported the US it would be a lovely option. I’m personally just not buying a smartphone that isn’t being tested on US networks.
> Good management is like a teacher in school who checks if students are completing their work, and if they aren't, gives them assistance.

This requires the managers to know a lot about the technical aspects (nitty gritties if you will) of the work. In my experience, most line managers, and certainly the bosses above them, are so woefully clueless about the work that they are unable navigate timelines, scopes and challenges.

Often, the bosses interests are also misaligned. Rather than take a step back and rescope/reevaluate the project, they want to squeeze engineers to get "something" done. Why? Because some upper manager will lose a fraction of their bonus or stock or promotion due to optics.

The result of all this is Boeing of 2024.
Winning a hackathon, losing my sanity
In some places the 'proper meal' of the day isn't eaten at lunch time, but rather in the afternoon. Lunch is a quick sandwich and some fruit to get you through the rest of the day and then you have your proper meal at 4-5 after you get home.

The social part at school came after lunch when you go out to play. When I was at school lunch was story time, and we would sit and listen to the teacher read us a book while we ate.
I can think of several reasons I would choose sand:

-Order of magnitude smaller coefficient of thermal expansion.

-No real risk of phase change - freezing or boiling.

-No problems with corrosion/scale in high temperature. On one hand regular water contains minerals which can build up on the heat exchanger element, on the other demineralized water sucks in carbon dioxide and oxygen from the atmosphere, causing corrosion of steel parts. You would need an airtight container to alleviate this.

Sand is great because it's largely inert in a huge range of temperatures.
Yes. As I alluded to, there is cross-training, it’s just that given the option, the more competent people will always be the lead on that job.

The model doesn’t translate well to civilian work, I think, largely because of contracts and guaranteed knowledge. In the Navy, you’re practically guaranteed that a given person will be attached to your command for at least 4 years, and their departure is planned well in advance. This gives you plenty of time to find people’s competencies and develop them.

The guaranteed knowledge comes in from the team structure – every division (team) has a Chief, a senior enlisted person who is generally assumed to have seen everything. If they haven’t, and an issue pops up, they will find how to work the problem. Intrinsic to this assumption is the fact that commands aren’t competitors (not officially, anyway), and you can easily ask a sister boat how they did X.
Die shots and transistor-level debugging on Raspberry Pi 5
> But an engineer with the agency’s Deep Space Network, which operates the radio antennas that communicate with both Voyagers and other spacecraft traveling to the Moon and beyond, was able to decode the new signal and found that it contains a readout of the entire FDS memory. The FDS memory includes its code, or instructions for what to do, as well as variables, or values used in the code that can change based on commands or the spacecraft’s status. It also contains science or engineering data for downlink.

Does this mean that someone could set up an antenna and get a copy of the Voyager software? Might be cool to see.

This is an area where we don't know the answers yet, but we're fumbling along. The main question that is still up for debate is this:

Are people really completely set in their personalities, so that we can say that this person IS a psychopath, that person IS a liar, I AM an upstanding citizen etc. The tendency for claiming such clearly comes from our current zeitgeist with its propensity for fixing labels to people, but to what extent has such fixed characteristics factually been true, and for what categories of labels, regardless of epoch?

We (or at least I) don't know.
There is a difference in a "project" in your example and a "project" within a company (usually of a smaller scope and up for modifications). My opinion is that estimates are bound to be missed when there is so much scope for unknown variables creeping in.

> Even those in “light” labor roles consumed 3.2k calories daily. Examples of such jobs included toothbrush filler, rotary machine operator, and polisher. While these tasks may not be as physically undemanding as sitting at a computer, they are not much more demanding.

I find it very difficult to believe that sitting in an air-conditioned office chair is close to comparable to the conditions of even 'light' factory work in the 1950s.
Sure but a heat pump was not the scenario in the parent post.
Its not a question of money. The underlying issue is much simpler (and harder to fix, this age is usually too late) - kids are hyper-stimulated by virtual worlds and instant social gratification, and then find real world utterly boring, have no clue how social aspects and communication work etc. Broken sad human beings. That's not something one can learn online, only via hard grind with other humans, over decades of continuous improvement. You know, just like we did it.

This is IMHO failure of parents - phones and digital media generally have no place till at least 15. Yes, in subpar communities this often means stigma. This doesn't change a nanometer the fact its very harmful, just look at what is being discussed. In better ones this is the norm for exactly this reason.

You know how good parenting looks like? Tons, gigatons of time, parents being role models to kids not due to stellar careers and meeting for 60 minutes a day, if at all, burned out. No phones or social media around. Its much much harder for the parents, but raising kids well is the most important achievement parent can achieve.

Anytime you see lazy parenting and good parenting results next to each other, the difference is staggering. The advantage well-raised kids will have later in life will be massive.
