So just to give you an example of what would be a product. Spotify is half way between service and product. What would make it further closer to a product would be (my suggestion): 1. No free version 2. And while you are at it, don't p

It was called the Spanish flu because they were a neutral country and hence the reporters were allowed to report on the flu. It doesn't have much more than that in common with Spain.

It could also be that cytokine storms were not known in 1979. The source I see on wikipedia is for 1991, but you can read the article if you like. [1] This is what essentially causes the "W" curve as opposed to Covid-19's &qu

One thing you can do is to look at the programs installed by default on Ubuntu Studio. It's a nice way of discovering Linux media apps without having to browse around on the web—most programs you would need are already installed, thoug

My opinion about this is that many apps and websites don't have a real product offering. FB, Dropbox, Twitter and others are more of a service offering than a product offering and hence everything is rooted around services and tracki

In other news, does anyone know whether there is an initiative now for a PS2 emulator on the Raspberry Pi 4? When the new Pi came out one of the most interesting things to me was that PS2 emulation should (maybe) now be possible.

Yes, due the lockdowns and quarantines.

It's interesting how all the infosec experts are zooming in on Zoom and providing details that otherwise may have gone unnoticed for a long time.

Just my personal opinion here, but one should be careful to view the pandemic through the socialism vs. capitalism lens. I think it's better to focus on the particulars of events rather classifying them as in on of the two camps.

Not from the US, so not quite in phase with how things work. What can this tell us about actual unemployment and actual people that won't have a job now (short, medium or forever)?

I used Palatino for my thesis. The only downside is that the typefacing of mathematics is less standardised than Computer Modern. You have to play around with things in that regard. Edit: I think AMS Euler for the equations and Palatino for

I think that depends on whether you want your stuff to look like some definition of traditional. The equations in AMS Euler look good to me. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMS_Euler#/media/File:AMS_Eule

By the way (and not flamebaiting here) this is one of the reasons why "this is natural selection" is the phrase that makes me the most angry in all of this. Death by flu is selection for random shit that cause you to be better off

Can we infer from this that flu prior to 1918 was less severe on average? Or is the result not that strong?

Can confirm this too. Adding Salesforce, Docker, AWS, PostgreSQL, mySQL, MS SQL and stuff like that sometimes get scraped as keywords.

Not sure if this will help you, but just putting it out there: Getting a job via a referral will boost your chances by quite a bit. I am not sure what your core skills are, but in my case if I want to go work for a bank, via referral I get

I agree with this 100%. People in South Africa are panic buying. So these people think you are taking the groceries to your cave. Get a sign and people can read for themselves.

I think I may be wrong about Berlin. Googling around it does seem like Toronto and Johannesburg are close together (both around 10 million trees), but are the trees in Toronto planted or natural? In JHB most of the trees were planted.

by mikorym 7y ago
By the way, in Johannesburg this is not the case. The natural vegetation in many parts of the highveld here naturally had almost no trees. (Pretoria does have a lot of trees naturally.) Berlin is the only city in the world with more trees t

I appreciate all the answers that point out Bayes's theorem. One thing to add is that in contrast to the usual classroom Bayes the "occurrence in the general population" is very much a variable rather than a constant. For exa

There is another analogy to this: Meteoblue. [1] Maybe they can similarly spin off the weather app into a company with some kind of status that retains some of its original purpose (which I guess is supplying weather information to German n

If that is the argument, then I think the priority now for the DWD is to offer a cheaper and better product. I think this also means that the DWD can now be more business orientated and perhaps grow their income? I am not German, but I am t

An economics PhD once asked me for help with Langangians, but at the time I was quite occupied with other branches of mathematics. I wonder if it would make sense to revisit it. If I recall, the problem he was looking at was quite standard,

You don't need it, but sets are more primitive than numbers. For example, the category of finite sets without an NNO [1] is simpler or more foundational than the set of natural numbers. At the same time, this category is actually a

Meaning that they are quoting from steady states in a model that uses differential equations. I am saying that the news article is misquoting the science. Merkel didn't make a prediction, she made a comment about epidemiology.

Yes, but as the upper bound for the whole of Germany or for a part of Germany? That is what the issue is about. In terms of likeliness for this is accurate. The chances of the whole of Germany being the improper subset here is the issue. My

It not about historical order, it's about the order in which you need things to build upon mathematically.

Cardinal numbers are sets. And after that comes ordinals, which are enumerated numbers. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_number [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_number
