Indeed, people do not have to "stay in their lanes". :: But as folks are joining the ID lane, it would be great if they could just read up a little before they message the world with such certainty. :: Ie, critical appraisal, contextualizing data, and meaningful interpretation... [RT]
Thank you. I often check the author of the tweet (background, publications, previous tweets) + fact check the info they shared before amplifying. For instance if they are talking about mink sars or transmission with zero virology/infection background, I wouldn’t amplify.
Very true Sunil. and some ‘clear’ things may not be that clear either. I think in a time of uncertainty we need to be transparent about the limits of our knowledge, acknowledge that, and create an environment so that we can all discuss these openly and respectfully.

Here’s two music CDs we recently added to the collection, from @TheBritishIBM and @henryhomesweet. Which other audio CDs do you think we should add? pic.twitter.com/8NxJKJWmQj [RT]

Trevor Bedford (@trvrb): Scientist @fredhutch, studying...

I’ve been using 4x for recent weeks. However, given spectrum of disease and asymptomatics I’m not sure fraction detected gets much higher than this even with further increases in testing capacity.
Yep. Given range of disease severity getting a mild infection tested and finding out it’s COVID should prompt responsible individuals to self-isolate and thereby slow spread. Testing is one of the only direct interventions against transmission we have with this disease.
I expect SARS-CoV-2 to eventually settle down as a seasonal coronavirus but not until 2021/2022 season at the earliest. Open question on whether it will attenuate much with time. My guess would be that it won’t and we’ll just have to reduce circulation through vaccine.
Yep. For H1N1 “swine flu” in 2009 we counted continually from initial cases in Feb/March through the initial pandemic of 2009 and early 2010. Went back to regular “seasonal” counting in 2010/2011 season.

Yes, that's more correctly 3.2 million pairs of nostrils and throats. Thanks to all those that got tested, but a special shout out to the lab workers who have been working around the clock to process them all - an incredible effort.

Why don't you pass the time with a game of solitaire?
Looks like it turned out to be a nightmare puzzle. It seems like you're doing it approximately by functional groups, but haven't done the ALU and carry lookahead. Maybe those aren't as recognizable.
ICs usually have ESD protection diodes to shunt excess voltage to Vcc or ground. More complex circuits are also used. For more info see: :: ti.com/lit/an/slya014…

My talk on reverse engineering vintage ICs from hardwear.io. twitter.com/hardwear_io/st…
Thanks for the kind comment
The row address selects one row of cells and all 128 bits are read by the sense amps. Then the column address selects one of the 128 bits to read or write. Essentially decoders built from 128 NOR gates. I think LCDs are based more on shifting instead of random access.

Paul Graham (@paulg): ...

I already talked to him about it.
What's owed and what's politically prudent are not the only factors to consider. There's also the principle that victors should be merciful rather than vengeful.
Thanks for warning me about this.
:-)
I'm not talking about mere crassness, but running the executive branch like the mafia. And you can't deliver on policy goals when your appointees are stooges chosen for loyalty rather than ability.
I imagine two possibilities. One is that we go back to presidents who actually act like presidents. In that case, the way Trump behaved will seem unbelievable in the future. The other possibility is very scary: that he's the first of many who rely on the same base.
He would never choose that because it doesn't have the word "Trump" in it.
