We live in an era where attention matters more than reality. Chronically online CEOs are aware of this. Om Malik has been writing about this recently, especially regarding OpenAI / Altman [1], but you can see it everywhere. 1 - https:

There is a large, growing Russian diaspora and many writers/artists create works in exile. The language helps if you want to understand the millions who left their homes out of principle, but they are not the "enemy".

Thanks for the transparency + analysis. I've been a happy Fastmail customer for 11+ years and will continue to be so. Everyone wrote that their experience with FM support has been good, but I've been even luckier: until today I ne

I am the OP. I admit my second message was terse, but the correct social media response for a critical outage is "we're looking into it". Not "if you want support, go here". Like I said, I do not have time to hunt f

I visited in May. When I left, at blue dollar rates, 1 USD = ~1040 Argentinine pesos; today, 1 USD = 1415 pesos. Ie, 35% inflation in 2.5 months. [1] And every month, the government claims unbelievably low inflation: 4.2% in May, 4.6% in Ju

I had EVO ICL done ~10 months ago. My contact prescription was -7.25 left / -6.75 right with thin corneas so I wasn't a great candidate for LASIK. Weighed costs of ICL vs PRK and opted for the former (mostly recovery time concerns

Canceling The Economist was the worst experience of any periodical, by far. You were right not to continue. Recently canceled and (from transcript) it took 18+ minutes chatting with an online rep. They made sure I knew all the various benef

California CC tuition is not representative of the rest of the country. In-state tuition for a full-time (15 credits) student at Salt Lake Community College is currently ~2100 per semester. At Denver Community College, ~3000 per semester. T

I built a text annotation tool recently, first in React before rewriting it in Svelte. I found React's virtual DOM annoying, esp. when dealing with text selections + wrapping those selections with elements, etc. Svelte was just simpler

I initially preferred JSX ("it's just Javascript"), esp. with Svelte oddities like `$$props`, but after working with Svelte templating for a while I now prefer it due to things like property shorthand and event forwarding. Re

This seems pretty clearly not about nostalgia or technology. Nothing signals "don't talk to me" like plainly visible earbuds. I used to wear a pair, with nothing playing, when walking around the city. Worked like a charm + mo

How is Gallup calculating risk? As far as I can tell from their appendix, they're using total hospitalizations / total US population. Ie, 2.6mm hospitalizations / 330mm population = ~0.8% risk of hospitalization. This is obvi

Searched for and couldn't find the 0.4% tax, which tax are you referring to? And for others, the incoming 2022 tax is a 0.58% payroll tax. From WA directly: "Washington state does not have a personal or corporate income tax."

What's the timeline of media outlets figuring this out? Fox was downplaying / claiming this was a hoax as late as March 10 [1], whereas other outlets woke up early February (eg, the WaPo headline in your screenshot is from Jan 31)

Agree with your point (that raw % of hospitalizations is misleading), but it's 2-4% of total positive cases, not 2-4% of those admitted to hospital.

Total beds is an incomplete picture. Stanford hospital appears to run at 88% capacity [1] and Seattle's Harborview operates at 95% capacity [2]. 1 - https://stanfordhealthcare.org/content/dam/SHC/about-us

You do realize that every confirmed case (and fatality) is a lagging indicator, right? Further delayed by the fact that testing is still basically nonexistent.

AFAIK, the Seattle / King County survey did not ask which neighborhood or zip code they lived in. The questions are listed on the survey PDF I linked earlier. Do you have a source? Closest I can find is from 2016, and it's 25% of

The LA homeless survey does track where people lived when they became homeless. In 2019, the number who became homeless outside of CA is 20% [1]. AFAIK, they don't release raw data so we can segment by newly homeless, but in 2018, this

Github's GraphQL API calculates a "rate limit score" based on query complexity and allocates a max points-per-hour [1]. Similarly, Postgraphile (which I'm more familiar with than Hasura) allows setting either a max query
