To my knowledge there's never been a case of COVID conclusively proven to have resulted from surface contact.

Generally speaking, N95s fit better than KN95s, because earloops aren't allowed in the N95 standard, and headbands provide more tension so there's a better face seal. This study only evaluated one brand of N95, but there are many

Private equity is also going on a tear buying up plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, etc. Their strategy is monopolization, but also "optimization" of the business. For example, sending out commissioned salesmen instead of

It seems like the next major energy invention we need is long-term storage. Batteries have gotten much more cost effective, but you still need to amortize their costs over hundreds of charge-discharge cycles to get a payback. They're

IMO a waterfall like process can work for a lot of projects, but you need a lot of time for estimation/derisking, and this work is hard, so often developers don't want to do it, and management/customers often don't want

The whole thing is just a money laundering scheme. It’s illegal to give money to Trump as a donation, but if you buy the worthless shares in his company, it’s (arguably) legal, and he has a number of ways of siphoning off this cash into hi

I think most people just get a stove with two induction and two coil electric burners, so you don't need new pots.

“unless the reduced speed is necessary for safe operation” If somehow you got a ticket for this, you’d just say it was necessary for safe operation, after all, why else would there be a speed limit in the first place?

It’s very difficult to ensure no data leakage, even for something like an Emoji prediction model. If you can try a large number of inputs and see what the suggested emoji is, that’s going to give you information about the training set. I

This is concerning to me if Schulmann is in charge of safety now. He was on the Dwarkesh podcast the other day and Dwarkesh asked him a lot of safety questions. He had very short timelines for superintelligence, and no real answers for any

Well, it's a 25% discount, it just doesn't sound like much because PG&E's rates are so insane.

There aren't really local minima in most deep networks. When you get into millions/billions of parameters, there will essentially always be some directions that point downwards. You have to get really really close to the true mi

No. If you get the time of use plan in Santa Clara it's 4 cents more on-peak vs. off-peak [1]. The situation with PG&E's rates is completely asinine and is a political failure more than anything else. [1] https://

Another option might be pulling the GPS antenna. It can't give away data it can't collect.

UHF can be used with troposcatter techniques. Before satellites this was somewhat popular. It seems to be having a little bit of a comeback as well as you can get hundreds of miles of propagation fairly reliably and since it's higher

Either you generate it yourself or you pay. PG&E is not paying the third party electricity suppliers exorbitant rates, they're just charging enormous amounts for distribution. Without a political change, electricity will continue

Doesn’t work if you’re in most of California unless you have solar. Price fixing oil is bad, but you can switch to electricity for some uses. If everything is electric and electricity is a monopoly, it’s the worst possible situation.

I had a very similar experience years ago, I tried to start running and I hated it. I went and got a heart rate monitor and found that after I was going for a while where I started to hate it, my heart was up at 180 or so. I started doing

It's not that they will require a warrant, just that they "reserve the right" to require it. Your rights as an owner of one of their vehicles are not reserved in any way.

I just don't want 'em to do it. I expect companies I have a paying business relationship with to not report on my private comings and goings, especially not to bounty hunters and other shady characters. Back in the day if you di

My mistake, it's GE. They make a daylight and a soft white, I like the soft white. It's very close to incandescent light.

The super high clinical trial costs also mean problems for any drug that isn't expected to have a large effect size, because it's hard to get statistical significance. Some trials have been controversially going for a surrogate en

I really like the Philips Sun Filled LED lights. I have a stockpile of incandescents, and they're the first one that's come pretty close that I've found that's worth replacing them with. Policy-wise, lighting, post LED

All Clear does is the ID check part. The actual security screening is all TSA. In the TSA lines, this is quick and never the bottleneck. The person doing the ID check actually throttles the line so that it doesn't back up in front o

I'm not sure. They don't have those at my home airport, but my vague understanding is that in some situations like this, the airline is paying the TSA to staff another lane for their preferred customers. To me, this seems more r

I don't understand why Clear members are allowed to cut the TSA line. As far as I know, Clear doesn't pay the TSA anything. Everyone pays the same TSA screening fee on their airline ticket, so everyone should be handled on a fir

Joke's on them. Storage is getting very cheap now. At the prices PG&E is charging, it's now cost effective to buy batteries and store your solar power. Some of this requires a certain amount of DIY, but if PG&E restruct

Yeah like almost everything wrong in the economy, the question is where is the stabilizing feedback loop? Where can patients choose something better, and how do they get the information to choose the best option?
