TLDR for the paper: GoF is not necessarily the strongest candidate for this flu outbreak. However, all the candidates are man-made due to research efforts. To me this points out that every study on a pandemic-possible virus should have an e

The car companies did the same, but what they did was cancel their slots for chip production while having little chip inventory. So yeah, the root is back to the car companies. The rental car companies probably would have been dealing with

Your statement is reasonable for sterilizing vaccines, and maybe even for this vaccine before the Delta variant. However, this vaccine is non-sterilizing, meaning that it does not stop people from getting infected in the nose but stops prog

IMHO the effective thing to do is to focus all our efforts on vaccinating 100% of those that will end up in the ICU (the elderly and those with co-morbidities). These kinds of vaccine mandates get some of those at the greatest risk vaccinat

So the utility of war isn’t the economic mobilization that is claimed but instead the cover it provides for implementing a progressive tax rate, etc

> The US benefited enormously from being the only industrial power to end the war with no significant loss of territory or industrial capacity This seems mostly an effect of other countries being destroyed (some by the US) rather than t

I also give these statements (the first sentence) flak because the logical conclusion would be that to get out of a depression one should start a war or perhaps just pay everyone to dig ditches. The reality of war is quite the opposite: it

I believe the solution to this is to classify errors properly. Any "internal error" as in HTTP 500 Internal Error should be generating a stack trace. Most other expected errors (like your case) should not. I codified this practice

Actually this would be quite useful not for the traditional role of comments but instead to debug program flow.

The company started with zero manufacturing capacity. It’s now slated for fourth quarter in the US but earlier for Europe. I wish they would have been able to partner with big pharma much like the Pfizer vaccine.

Will hospitals be able to run your assay? If they have to send out to your lab then effectively it takes a lot longer to get a result.

Are you familiar with Karius? They turnaround a diagnosis in a day (genomic). I could imagine both assays being run on the same sample.

I think this is the much of the reason document dbs are popular. If you have an array in your struct, just save it. Having used mongoDB in the past, for me it was a better day 1 experience. I didn’t need SQL, I just stored my data. The prob

What other projects would be an example of a fast growing open source project with lots of development and that are highly distributed?

How does this compare to using metadata (eBPF bases metrics).

How is the screen outdoors? Total brightness and glare are important factors here. IPS is good.

Hi Zach, this is a worthy effort. Have you been looking at Wezterm? It is written in Rust and is faster than Altacritty. Altacritty is fast at displaying a wall of text, but all I care about is the interactivity when typing and running comm

I have been happy enough with SimpleNote - great cross platform markdown note sync. You can link notes and publish them. Not open source but no cost. Just tried the Obsidian mobile app - it is fast as well. I am tempted to switch for the vi

The grid can only handle so much energy instability. So in that sense stable sources such as nuclear can be complements to unstable sources.

Terrapower is using molten salt instead of water: they can produce 150% output for five hours. Unfortunately they only just started building a demonstration plant.

Summary: Monoculture tree planting can actually degrade the environment. Reforestation of a natural forest environment is good. If planting x trees is an incentivized metric you can end up with most of the trees dieing or with a monoculture

In the mentioned book some examples that are given are Coley's toxins (a 100 year old treatment) that is highly effective for some patients. You can download a report on a particular cancer at mossreports.com and there are many pages d

Why does Rust need to compete with QT? Most programming languages have QT bindings. Similarly, different languages could work with Electron through compile to JS/WASM.

You might try reading the book before arguing against a straw man of it. With respect to drugs we have a big issue that we have a fundamentally flawed system where we only fund proper studies for drugs with patents. There are many cancer tr

A ketogenic diet or even a less restrictive lower carbohydrate diet can contribute to a slowing of the cancer growth for some cancers because cancer metabolizes large amounts of glucose. But keep in mind that many cancer patients cannot aff

> repeat until cancer goes away or patient dies This sounds very similar to participating in a clinical trial and to me ironically seems to be the opposite of precision medicine. The Nagourney Cancer Institute cultures live cancer cells

Does anything in this study confirm that personalized treatment or any cancer treatment is moving the needle? The minor decrease in overall cancer rate seems to be driven by fewer diagnoses rather than increased survival, at least for lung
