I will often watch movies with them one, it might be that I grew up with them as my father is deaf; but I find they give me more information than speech alone.

I guess my counter would be:

* It was solved at a greater expense of human life, its easy to say "those people would have died" but that is harder to prove ethically. Could the excess deaths have lived on _longer than a flu season_?

* Is there a good argument that it is in fact over in Sweden?

* Are there other variables that might have made Covid-19 not so bad in Sweden?

If I was to take more direct counters to the article:

> I am willing to bet that the countries that have shut down completely will see rates spike when they open up. If that is the case, then there won’t have been any point in shutting down in the first place, because all those countries are going to end up with the same number of dead at the end of the day anyway.

Maybe, but that could also be a case of thinking that the death rate is a fairly simple linear model, which would fly in the face of the various epidemiological models that we use (not just for covid but since the 1920s)

> No, because influenza has been around for centuries while covid is completely new. In an average influenza year most people already have some level of immunity because they’ve been infected with a similar strain previously, or because they’re vaccinated.

Is Covid-19 completely new? By this reasoning it would as stated be more infectious due to a lack of known immunity. With this line of reasoning why wouldn't a _different_ cornovirus also give a more uniform immunity? Why would a novel Cornovirus strain have a greater impact over a novel Influenza strain?

I could go one but I feel like I am sniping.

Personally I dont think the world wide response has been great, I do think we have overreacted but I also would argue that its not just another influenza and should be ignored as such.

Its also possible Sweden just got lucky with the prevalent strain https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.08.03.233866v1....

I would love it if Sweden was right and tackled this in a way that does look like a seasonal flu, but I think the science is still out on that. It does seem the science points mildly towards it being quite as deadly as initially thought, but I would not the Swedish death rate a total win.

<snark> Forget all that Sweden is the best approach, we should copy it in America especially the very solid social health care system :) </snark>

> Nowhere did I say you should be on one incredibly large server, nor that you should have a single point of failure. That wouldn't be simple, either, because it would fail to support the prime directive, or would require a great deal of gymnastics to. It's about balance. You don't need thousands of servers to make a reliable system.

Heh those things go offline every night for 2 hour maintenance.

Also fun when those nice single points of failure crash (they do)

It is better at handling recursive queries, and logical inference than SQL. On the flip side SQL can be better at more set style operations (for instance windowing functions are painful in datalog).

It is different tooling, essentially it comes down to do you want to extract answers from your data with varying relational algebra but holding the logic the same (SQL), or keeping the relational algebra the same but varying the logic (datalog).

Works great

I am using 2017 because 2018 is not over yet

> yeah, pretty typical function prolog, what's the question ?

Except we know it is not.

I am more saying to people be careful pushing any old binary blob through capstone without considering what it might produce, I get this at $DAYJOB where people disassemble VAX from things that are just data.

For example here is a "program" except it's really a meme gif off my phone. https://imgur.com/gallery/hoDKeC9

You are hilariously misinformed. I am 3.5 years and waiting on an EB2 and I am British, I know Caltech professors who took 3 years to get on EB1.

Part of the issue isn't entirely the government but also the cottage industry of legal firms. These firms (at least in my experience) can take _longer_ than some of the government steps.
