They're different data sets.
The data I shared is calculated from random population surveillance testing, and is the gold standard on measure of true spread.
The data you linked to is reported cases. Children often have very mild or asymptomatic cases so they are not tested nearly as much and thus many more cases are undetected in children compared to other age groups.
I don't think that is correct.
It looks like in November/December the rate among grades 7-11 was almost 3x the rate of those ages 35-39.

Also, most schools were closed from the beginning of January to March.

What you said is mostly true but there are also frequencies that ham operators can transmit in, but only have secondary priority to other uses.
For example hams can only transmit in the 1.25 meter band if they don't interfere with other users like the Automated Maritime Telecommunications Systems (AMTS).
Sun exposure (and even tanning beds) produces vitamin D, but it also causes other changes in the human body. It appears sun exposure OR tanning bed use (!!!) reduces all cause mortality.
"Avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor for all-cause mortality: results from the Melanoma in Southern Sweden cohort" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24697969/
I think there's some confounding factors in 'outdoorsy' people having other healthy lifestyle habits, but it also seems likely that there is some other mechanism, beneficial to human health, triggered by uv exposure.
That's assuming that people correctly know and express the opinion that they hold. Asking people directly is still somewhat of a noise signal. Also, the act of viewing the result of the vote seems to have changed people expressed opinions at least.
Just a little background the paper itself doesn't provide:
The 3-d modeling and rotation is building on the work Yaniv did as part of Face.com (face recognition startup), which was acquired by Facebook.com. Studied here: http://vis-www.cs.umass.edu/lfw/results.html
Also Marc'Aurelio was just hired away from Google and is a deep learning expert.
I think you might mean "The War of Art," which is a great motivational book. The "Art of War" is good too, but would be tough to classify as "hippie'esque."
It's relevant that they can sell their shares after they leave, but if they continue working at FB they have to wait a few more weeks to months for the lock-up period to expire. Maybe they're scared about the stock and want to prevent further losses.
I think the world would be a better place if everyone, especially MBA's had at least some knowledge of programming. With the state of the job market in the US, wouldn't it be wise to require even two years of programming in high school?
I did my PhD at Stanford and took all three classes. DB is a more fundamental class, and probably easier. AI and ML are both great but they are designed to be taken in sequence with AI first then ML (which is a sub-field of AI).
Take a look at http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com I think the interface is a bit cleaner, plus they include states and countries as well as cities. This site is also the result of HN's weekend challenge.
Here's the author's experiences http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/weekend-challenge.html
"The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." -- Oscar Wilde
Disregarding the technical usage of the word valuation in investing, I see three ways of interpreting the terms in the argument here. The price of Facebook is 33B, simply extrapolating from the price of tiny percentages of Facebook.
The value is related to the price people are willing to pay, but is actually unknown and only exists as a prediction of future cash flows.
The worth is a more nebulous concept and related to how much Facebook improves the world.
It seems like spolsky is talking about the price, and dhh is talking about the value, and making illusions to the worth.
Don't do it. I bought a Merkur two years ago and I just back the switch back to the Gillette.
Here's the issue: errors with a single blade safety razor are much worse. I didn't cut myself 99% of the time, but when I did, the cuts were large divots out of my skin. It sucks.
Go with the modern technology and leave the single blades to the obsessive.
One way is shorting exchange traded funds invested in Chinese companies like GXC. Another way would be to short companies dependent on China's economics growth, or companies highly valued for their Chinese branches like YUM (owns KFC, etc..).
Jim Chanos in a Businessweek (http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_16/b41740106...) interview recommends the following:
"There are ways to play Chinese companies outside of China. Either they trade in Hong Kong or New York. Probably more important from an investment point of view, this has implications for the people selling stuff to China—cement, glass, copper, steel. "
The Chinese government has three (approximately) week long holiday periods around the lunar new year, labor day, and national day. For factories like the one described in the article, they can expect up to about 30% of their workers to leave on vacation and not come back.
I don't condone conditions like this, but everyone should be able to put this in the context of the general standard of living in China. I've been to dorms in Chinese Universities and they don't look much different from the dorms these workers live in.
The average income per person is $6,600, but still 10% of China's population, mostly rural people, live on less than $1 a day. (There are some very rich people in the cities bringing the mean up) The people working in these factories are mostly rural youth, not well educated, doing the best to provide for their families and earn more than what they can doing small scale farming.
I'm not convinced that how our western eyes view things is the same as how locals view this. Even taking home $.50 an hour like the article says means $2000 a year. If you used to be making a dollar a day, this factory job is much better than a dead end job as a farmer. Just keep that in mind.
It seems like the article may have confused two concepts from information theory. He talks about entropy (without explicitly naming it) which can be used to bound the best possible data compression scheme.
Data compression is not the problem with interacting with devices though. What he should be instead looking at is channel capacity, where the user is encoding information for transmission that the device will receive and decode.
Maybe that's too technical for the nature of this article, but oh well.
Why do I keep hearing it repeated that "Google failed in China?" They are second place but with a sizable market share, 43% to Baidu's 56% according to this link.
If your company's goal was to have 100% market share and you 'only' had 43%, would you call yourself a failure?
It means "Google: a real, [upstanding -- implied], man"
