Ah yes, you are right, my previous comment is not applicable here. A relevant datapoint here is the case of Webasto in Germany. The woman who infected employees of Webasto and thereby unwittingly created one of the first clusters in Germany

Nobody is talking about it as a "replacement" (for what anyway). It's viewed as part of the recipe that countries with SARS and/or MERS exposure learned that helped them to handle this situation better than others.

Not so fast... If the mortality rate really is much lower than generally presumed at the moment, with no antibody tests to actually verify, then it is absolutely possible that this has been creeping up on us for a month or two earlier in th

Finally. I agree with you! Need to see wood not just trees. That's also why I'm so triggered all the time when some bozo talks about "recession risk" again as if that was the problem. This is a systemic crisis (in fact,

Very interesting, thanks for your answer. good point too abt using the rigidity as a forcing function for yourself. I have quite a big system myself, using bibdesk as my interface to filesystem, and searchability would be very nice indeed.

Sounds good. How do you handle cases where the same document fits multiple categories (ie belongs in multiple locations of your hierarchy at once)? Ps. Another question: can you tell which nlp libs are best for this purpose in your experien

By the same token, there are animals who have the „live for 400 years“ problem solved so there must be sth left on the table yes? Other animals have the „regenerate this body part“ problem solved, same.

I love this, it resonates so much with what I think and do. Is it a quote or your own creation? If the former, can you share the source (DDG seems to fail me); if the latter, I'll attribute it to "antman" or who?

One of the biggest lies I never believed is that school is for education. It is for many things but education (not indoctrination or brainwashing) is not one if them. Thankfully I realized this very early.

That Google pretty much remains a one-trick pony after billions of dollars thrown against the wall speaks volumes about the glorification of "success" (or misattribution thereof) and the value of all the hagiographies in its wake.
