Methods used to combat COVID-19 (social distancing, masking, moving indoor events outdoors) really are quite effective at reducing the transmission of respiratory viruses. Big changes can come about from small changes in r.

Your chart only includes a subset of states. Again, when things peaked varied widely by state. Here's a good one from California that includes April: https://calmatters.org/health/coronavirus/2020/06&#x2F

The graph here could be instructive: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-coronavirus-hospitalizat... It varies widely by state/county, etc, but in most of the US, hospitalizations were pretty low still in Apr

They were not putting COVID patients anywhere near the maternity ward and you certainly were not allowed to leave the maternity ward so I'm not sure what you were expecting. A busier than usual maternity ward?

It claims 25 cubit feet which is large but not certainly not huge. It's shaped in such a way that much of that isn't as useful as you'd hope. A fair amount of that area is at or below 12 inches in depth.

This is also the start, other countries will retaliate and the current administration being the current administration will probably respond.

If you're traveling 300 miles, cargo capacity is pretty important. I feel like this is sacrificing a great deal of what people actually need for a "feature" that is a bit of a solution in search of a problem.

It's been around a very long time and continues to be relevant. It's just a window in time where it was feasible to have a graphical application made on labview to be accessible to undergrads crossing over with such a thing being

If your computer is still doing bursty jobs during that period, it will use less power but still as much energy. Sure, you can reduce the power but if you aren't also reducing what you ask it to do, it'll just use that max amount

Anyone who did undergrad lab work around 2000ish might throw in some comment about lab view software and the number of times it crashes and loses all your data

There's a single instance in Einstein's notebooks where he attempts to use numerical methods to come up with a result. He manually graphs some result of the cosmological constant and then integrates it by counting the squares unde

Basically there's a legal standard that involves a real and immediate threat. Murthy v Missouri is a good place to start: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-411_3dq3.pdf There's a ton of lega

The recent video of the air ambulance impacting the ground is really "instructive" here. There are good indications that they believed they were in level flight either because of some instrument failure or lack of attention.

There's actually a wide range of case law covering such communications in light of such perceived possibility of legal threat. A lot of it culminated in Murthy v. Missouri. What you are suggesting is that the government cannot communic

Both calling something disinformation and disinformation itself are clearly protected free speech. Especially if the "disinformation" is political in nature.

They've made clear cases where they refused government requests. Which cases ended in some kind of enforcement? It's hard for it to be selective prosecution when none of it ended in prosecution.

So the government "expressed a lot of frustration" and meta eventually agreed... And says they would make a different decision in the future, making it clear that taking down the information was a voluntary choice.

There's always a long list of checklists and calculations to run though. It's rare for a plane with an emergency to land as soon as possible, they generally need a little extra time to finish such tasks.

Seems like anyone who has three "shares" of X now has 1 share of xAI+X, which by Musk's valuation is three times as valuable as X. Assuming the xAI share price is wildly inflated, it seems that the inflated valuation has deva

Certainly, credit should be given here to SpaceX for making such a successful and versatile crew capable vehicle with less budget and time than Boeing. Especially given the things that were being said about the two parties around the time t

I remember this Elon Musk guy who was spending hundreds of millions of dollars to get Trump elected. I hear he's involved in space somehow, imagine if he found out about this and was able to shame the Biden admin with this before the e

The issue is the definition. "Stranded" can be made to mean a wide range of things. In this case it's clear from Trump and Musk's statements that they mean it as "abandoned" and in need of rescue. While you cou
