I need encryption to make sure nobody is listening to my sensitive conversation like legal/psychological counseling. It can be actually more secure than in-person conversation. Recreational ones are not "needs". Your analogy

My theory about what might have governed his behavior: boredom. He was designing a game, which is a system designed to mitigate the boredom issue. Knowing people better could make them boring to one's eye -- there are familiar patterns

So there's trade-off between the security and the conference call quality, and this option weighs toward more security. That sounds great for customers in general. I'd wish they choose the E2E option to be the default for small me

I think there might be one point that deserves more attention: the wind that is getting stronger over time. It is entirely possible that the C-hook was holding up relatively well until the wind reached certain threshold, and the wind could

I believe so. People can probably set up some physical models and simulate the wear against various elements, and possibly detect similar wear in the reality. Even without AI, human inspectors can remotely monitor the tower using drones and

In addition, as the original twitter stream says, climate change promoted additional growth of vegetation, which added even more fuel for wildfire. It would be an interesting topic of research to see which one contributed more to the prolif

Android does not even have an app for Apple Maps. I certainly don't wish the success of Apple search if they are going to follow the model of Apple Maps and many of their other attempts with the closed ecosystem.

Thank you. Your number 8-10% was very useful in getting the idea of why the rate change would not affect those unprofitable companies.

I'm not well versed in the economics, so could you elaborate how the corporate debt would be a problem in this economy? Wouldn't the lowered rates & other activities by Fed be helpful for the entities with massive debt?

I think the difference might be in that startups often do not have their own dominant & profitable products that they can leverage to undercut the profit in complements.

It has good usability, and not much trouble in video conferencing. No nonsense. Plus it has a catchy name: Compare "Google Meet" or "Microsoft teams" vs "Zoom".

That is not true. There are nearly risk-free methods of making investment returns, and when the upside is small but risk is minimal, leverage is the way to amplify the upside. Playing lottery means high risk of losing money and that is not

Though some of the major ones may have the restriction, not all US metros have the regulation yet. It would be good to have a data on how much of the number is under the regulation.

How much difference is there between the r0 value of 2 and that of 3? Maybe we can't flatten the curve to fit it under the threshold, but we can probably reduce the area above it?

This definition has too much room for subjectivity. It needs objective criteria. Or maybe WHO might need to have a numerical metric that says high large the impact of a virus or its associated disease is, just like the earthquake magnitude.

I think the point is that the cost should not be the main motivator. I would agree that there needs to be other differentiators in addition to cost, which could provide sufficient moat against other competitors, big or small.

Those show why I called it a heuristic. With some code similar to yours, I would probably use parentheses unless they are frequent enough to deserve some brain cells.

I remember only one huristic: unary operators have higher precedence than others.

Do you know how many the clinic has tested since then? The ratio between the confirmed cases vs the test count seems about 3% in US, and the total tested number in US is 472 according to CDC.

It appears US is better than Indonesia in reporting, but worse than Singapore, according to their preprint [1]. AFAIK, the coronavirus test is not being conducted for people who have no history of visiting China or traveling outside, and th

Yep. I still have a Windows machine for banking and gov websites in SK. Things got much better lately thanks to mobile apps and relaxed regulations, but I see Windows-dependency is still strong on some websites.

This is a question of the causality between the family dinners and the socio-economic indicators of a kid. Just like most of similar questions, it is healthy not to assume causality until proven there is. IMO, having regular family dinners

IMO, Netflix is at the stage where it collects mass preference to produce better movies by themselves, which creates a virtuous cycle for their bottom-line -- addiction to the platform of the mass & quality production. I would think the

Much of Samsung's production happens outside SK so I don't think the influence of SK labor policies on Samsung is not as significant as one might think. If anything, such labor policies as well as this kind of prosecution and sent
