Fatality is a binary measure for which early numbers are easy to get. You catch the illness and you either survive or don't, with some fatalities at a delay. (Diamond Princess did have some people that took months to perish afterwards)

I can relate to this story. Went through something similar, though with different symptoms. Just never recovered completely after an illness, even after years. No definite or discernable cause. There seem to be lots of triggers for latent a

Much of the issue with the waste is that it still doesn't have proper disposal logistics. It's mostly just piling up next to reactors with no place to go.[1] If we still can't solve the storage problem after decades of effort

Funding alone won't fix the decades of neglect, social norms built around that dysfunction, and the incompetent leadership many schools systems suffer with. But it's a necessary first step. If you don't fix the other pieces t

I'm guessing you're talking about Azolla[1]. That process was still on the scale of thousands or millions of years. The real problem that humanity is facing here is the rate of increase. Even during what was probably the worst ext

I think that we should cast the widest net for possible solutions, but there does come a point where they need to be winnowed down to which solutions will have the greatest effect (without bad side effects) with the least time and material

Most of the time you don't need the extra SSD cache. If you do use one for the ZIL (writes), it will only help synchronous writes, it should be redundant if possible, and it should be extremely low latency like Intel Optane. L2ARC (rea

Just offhand, that sounds like a good start to being a datacenter tech. Learn how to handle all the power equipment, HVAC, racking and stacking, cabling, etc.

At the current death rate, we're on track to reach 200k dead by early July. And that's only the deaths that are being counted. There is a substantial increase in overall mortality beyond the year to year average, beyond the confir

This is also why people need to push back hard against the typical recruiter habit of asking for your old salary in order to lowball your offer. Many people go through struggles like this.

More than likely, older potatos were used instead of thrown out. Have you considered that the potatos may have been green and near toxic, and peeling the old potatos was necessary to be able to eat them without vomiting? https://

You actually can't assume that will be the case, based on longevity data from the Great Depression[1]. If Covid runs rampant and collapses the medical system the U.S. is facing anywhere between 500,000 to 10 million dead based on curre

Honestly, this is going to sound absolutely terrible, but the easiest way I found around some limitations of mysql modules in Ansible is to create SQL statements using a template and just load that in.

Ansible seems to be better at declaring a particular configuration at build time, which should be repeatable and tested, and then perhaps running limited updates in a more controlled fashion later. The destination hosts should be disposable

All of those break down the mask fibers or screw up the electrostatic qualities used to grab particles. There have been studies on it, but there's not really an ideal way that doesn't damage the filtering capacity over time.

Your figures are wrong by several orders of magnitude. In the 18-49 age group, the seasonal flu fatality rate is around 0.0018%.[1] 0.2% is already uncomfortable odds: 1 in 500. And that figure assumes proper hospital care as others have al

The Carboniferous period stored that much carbon because the microbes at the time were unable to break down wood[1]. So yes, everyone should read about the Carboniferous period in detail to understand just how many millions of years of stor

Trees can be one element of many to mitigate emissions, but too often trees are bandied about as a complete solution, and it's greenwashing that distracts from the true scope of the problem at hand.

Trees require arable land. Trees require water and nutrients. Trees that aren't turned into treated lumber (to prevent decomposing) or buried return the carbon to the system when they die. Most interventions to plant them, water them,

To give the benefit of the doubt to the CDC, it appears that the RT-PCR test has been only about 70% sensitive in China. CT scans actually exceeded the RT-PCR tests in sensitivity. Here's the latest in an informative series of videos.[

Even the rate in younger people, such as those in their 20s, is higher than flu at 0.2%. The rate for flu in the 18-49 age range averaged about 0.001%[1] It's not just the flu. Please don't assert that without checking the numbers

Titles are both a bikeshed and something that can have significant impact on salary, unfortunately. As long as non-technical recruiters are hiring based on buzzwords, it matters.
