I know what their stated purpose is, but it is true that wearing a mask protects the wearer as well to a degree. Stating that it doesn't (as many in the media / CDC / politicians have said) is factually incorrect. If they want to say that masks need to be preserved for healthcare workers or sick people, then they should say so and I would agree, but when they start bullshitting to try to trick people into the behavior that they want then it completely undermines their credibility. People then start asking things like "is it actually true that we need to socially distance or is that a lie as well?" The number one thing you should not do during times of crisis is start lying.

For example, I don't trust the WHO much anymore because they lied and said that closing China's borders would not stop the spread of corona behind pressure from the Chinese government.
It also means nobody who was sick but didn't know was wearing a mask that would have helped limit others' exposure. Which is kind of relevant here, where you are infectious to others for days before you feel sick.
yes this is precisely what I was talking about. I suppose that I could have been more clear or precise with how I worded my comment but i felt like it was clear enough that I wasn't necessarily talking about objective reality but rather the personal experience of reality. thank you for chiming in and clarifying for me, and thank you for making an attempt to understand what I was trying to say rather than taking every word at face value. nuance on the internet is definitely an NP-Hard problem, both transmitting and receiving it would seem.
It would read like a bad parody of someone from Sardinia speaking in Italian with a thick accent.
Sort of, but only for major versions, and it's preferable to bake that sort of thing into the API itself. The API exposed by a microservice should only ever be updated in backwards compatible ways unless you can verify that you have no callers, which is hard. New functionality should be introduced using backwards compatible constructs like adding fields to JSON or protobuf. Breaking changes go in a new API. This is easily managed conceptually by having the microservice expose version information as part of the API. A FooService might define "v1/DestroyFoo" and "v2/DestroyFoo" with different calling contracts. Perhaps v1 was eventually consistent and returns a completion token that can be used with a separate "v1/CheckFooDeletionStatus", but now with v2 the behavior has been made strongly consistent and there is no "v2/CheckFooDeletionStatus". The v2 of the API can thus be thought of really as a separate API that happens to be exposed by the same microservice, and pre-existing callers can continue to call the (perhaps now inefficient) v1 API.
I bet that's almost entirely based on preferring the devil you know. Trying to write C without side channels is a ridiculously fragile affair. Many high level languages aren't suited to it, but that doesn't mean C is suited to it. Nobody should be using C for that kind of code either. Assembly maybe. The good answer is a language that can handle arrays safely and also make guarantees about what's actually executed.
A libertarian might argue that that falls under restricting an individual's right to harm others. They might believe that individuals don't have the right to increase the risk to people who can't vaccinate for heath reasons, and they might believe that parents don't have the right to harm their children by depriving them of their health.
as the response to your comment said, I indeed was speaking of the experience of reality rather than reality itself. I'm not entirely sure why you ask who is swayed by this sort of "false deepness" as to me that implies that I'm trying to inculcate others into my manner of thinking (which I suppose one could argue is a big aspect of rhetoric), when really the thing is is that I was just sharing what was on my mind in hopes of sparking a conversation with others who may or may not agree with me, hopefully to get their perspective and increase my understanding of how others experience reality. Which obviously happened seeing as you shared your perspective on it, so mission accomplished, I suppose. I just feel that the way you presented your perspective came across as unnecessarily hostile and almost as if you just found something you didn't like about the wording of it so you chose to dissect that and then use it as an example of what you would designate as "false deepness".

also: just because something has not yet been established as "fact" doesn't mean that it is not yet reality. merely that there is not an acceptable amount of certainty with regards to that pattern of behavior, or whatever the case may be, to establish it as a "normal" or "expected" manner in which reality might manifest. however, I'm fairly confident that even that verbiage won't be good enough as I wouldn't be surprised if you've already formulated a specific idea of who I am and what I'm trying to do by saying these things based off of your response :)
> ... a user sponsored moderation / rating would ensure that.

I think that would be good, as long as nobody is forced to use it who does not want to use it. Other things also help such as categorization, meta-moderation, etc, but all such things should be ignorable by users who do not want it.
Not sure how accurate this article is, but having no background on Neumann nor WeWork, it sounds like a cult that brainwashed a lot of hard working people. Adam sounds delusional at best and a predatory conman at worst, at least from the conclusions one can draw from the article, and Wall Streets delusion on profitability was nothing more than a loaded gun given to a toddler.

I’m not sure what conclusions to draw from this - in my own experience, I’ve met managers, directors, and executives who can be very charming and flattering. These are people who I seemed to instantly like... in hindsight, they have some common traits (their ability to sell, 1:1s where the people just talk on and on and on about themselves, their achievements, or their vision without asking about my ideas, vision, concerns, motivations, etc)

These are the people you have to be extremely cautious of. In my experience, they are deluding themselves and others, or they are purposely giving that pitch because they see you as a useful pawn for some agenda. I’ve learned this lesson a few times now. I don’t mean to sound cynical but that’s reality.
Everyone needs to work extra hard to recognize when somebody they don't like does something good. I'm sure his subsequent and prior tweets were awful, but its legitimately helpful for him to discourage violence during such a tinderbox event. We also have:

Ivanka:
“American Patriots — any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable,” Ivanka Trump tweeted. “The violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful.”

Cuccinelli called on people breaching the Capitol grounds to disperse.

“There is a proper venue to resolve grievances,” he wrote. “This is not it.”
Yes, monkey patching is pretty uninvasive. It's a better way to describe it. It's a "feature" supported by a dynamic language. Still, unexpected things can happen if something is patched multiple times though it's easy to track and fix :)

Monkey patching ends and hooking begins when you go outside of what's provided by the language digging into assembly and byte code.

There is some work to improve the type error messages, although the existing ones are quite useful already:
http://ocaml.org/meetings/ocaml/2014/chargueraud-slides.pdf

And syntax errors are improved if you use merlin, for example for this typo it highlights the ';':

let foo; x = 4

Baudelaire, a une passante:

La rue assourdissante autour de moi hurlait.
Longue, mince, en grand deuil, douleur majestueuse,
Une femme passa, d'une main fastueuse
Soulevant, balançant le feston et l'ourlet ;

Agile et noble, avec sa jambe de statue.
Moi, je buvais, crispé comme un extravagant,
Dans son oeil, ciel livide où germe l'ouragan,
La douceur qui fascine et le plaisir qui tue.

Un éclair... puis la nuit ! - Fugitive beauté
Dont le regard m'a fait soudainement renaître,
Ne te verrai-je plus que dans l'éternité ?

Ailleurs, bien loin d'ici ! trop tard ! jamais peut-être !
Car j'ignore où tu fuis, tu ne sais où je vais,
Ô toi que j'eusse aimée, ô toi qui le savais !
It would have been interesting to get actual performance numbers with the article.
That would be suicide for fear of death.
IPv6-only hosting typically includes a shared IPv4 reverse proxy for backwards compatibility, eg. https://www.mythic-beasts.com/support/topics/proxy (Mythic Beasts host the Raspberry Pi website; I am a friend and customer.)
If you're not running a firewall, your router is just as vulnerable as any device behind it would be with IPv6 — that is potentially vulnerable on any port it might listen to. NAT is not a firewall, it's an ugly workaround to a scalability issue.

For most home IPv6 networks, blocking all incoming traffic from the egress port will achieve the same level of security as a NAT'd IPv4. Different router/fw manufacturers would need their own guides on how to do that, but IMO any sane consumer product should be configured like that by default.

Here's a guide for OpenBSD, for instance. Note how it includes "block all" which means it blocks everything not specifically allowed. https://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/example1.html#pf
> Thread + Ripper was a clever play on words: anything that had plenty of threads, the hardware was designed to ‘rip’ through the workload.

Tangent, but is this really a play on words? And if so, what is the other meaning here?

I get the meaning where lots of cores are ripping through workload. But the other one I don't. The closest guess I have is that it's like a comic book hero (The Incredible Hulk) ripping through his clothes because he is so big and powerful. And I don't guess it refers to a seam ripper (the sewing tool).
Honestly, anyone with the know how to build their own PC should. The savings are not only substantial (usually, unless you find some crazy black friday discount), you can actually spec it to what you actually need.

Pre-builts usually have an over-specced CPU and and under-specced GPU, a bad memory configuration, crappy hard drives, and horrible power supplies + motherboards.
The capabilities are there. The dev experience is there (somewhat; JS ecosystem is a mess, but I guess that's just a side effect of moving very fast). But the capabilities are not used for end-user benefit. Not much, anyway. Yes, I benefit from Netflix, I benefit from Google products (not as much as I would if they didn't keep on worsening the UX every few months) - and such functionality requires some of the new capabilities. But 99% of other sites I visit don't use these capabilities for anything good. A pizza ordering site shouldn't need a React frontend. An e-commerce store shouldn't use WebSockets. Every other site out there should not ask me to enable notifications. But they all do. I blame a mix of CV-driven development, designers showing off, "data-driven" bandwagon, and surveillance capitalism.
And isn’t it great that these horses were able to continue serving others in their second acts!

"A food and symptom journal can be helpful for trying to connect the dots."

This is a good idea, I will try this once I start cutting out foods again.

You should start the journal now. You need to establish a baseline to compare things to. Start it well before you start making changes and don't make more than one change per week. Reactions to changes can be delayed and it's pretty complicated stuff.

How does one go about testing this?

Sorry, I don't know. I never figured out the secret handshake or whatever to get the medical system to give me the right test to actually identify my infection.

I looked up my symptoms online, drew my own conclusions and I've gradually gotten healthier, though I get treated extremely abusively for trying to talk about it online so I got nothing more for you than the two tidbits above.

Best of luck.

Orcas are matriarchal, have extremely close family units, and rely on the leadership of older orcas. Killing or capturing orcas that would now be older orcas, particularly females, has had huge effects on the southern resident population.
I believe GP refers to the early lies about masks, so that people wouldn't buy them, so that there would be more available for health care workers.
I've had the same experience. Especially with drinking water after/during playing sports. The water tastes incredible when you're really thirsty.

I wonder if the experience is similar after skiing. You've just expended a great deal of energy very quickly and your body is like "I need some new fuel NOW or else I'm gonna crash." That leads to more satisfaction giving your body exactly what it is begging for at that moment.
Everyone that used to use computers mostly still use desktops in addition to smart phones.

But the vast influx of people that use smart phones as their main system means most don't have full ISP and real connection to the internet. At best they might have an ipv6 address. But an ipv6 and CNAT ipv4 still doesn't allow you to communicate with most peers on the internet even if it does work for most corporate websites.

If ipv6 ever arives then p2p can work. But until that time most mobile devices cannot participate in most of the internet, p2p included. And mobile is where the money is spent.

The difference is Chrome moves ahead anyway. This is why I'm calling it "standards-washing" -- if you take away the RFC it's no different from the browser wars era or Apple's proprietary CSS extensions for Safari back in the day.

How the standards process is supposed to work is something like this:

1. Someone creates a rough proposal. Discussion happens.

2. Someone creates a proof of concept toy implementation. Discussion happens.

3. Consensus is reached, a spec is written.

4. Other vendors implement the spec. Spec stabilizes with implementers' feedback.

How it now happens is like this:

1. Google writes feature proposal.

2. Google implements the feature behind a server-side flag.

3. Google creates training materials for developers to use the "upcoming" feature.

4. Optional: Google writes an actual spec.

5. Google either scraps the feature or makes it available without the flag.

Of course they "gather feedback" and "ask for input" but concerns from Mozilla routinely get ignored and implementation progresses regardless. It's entirely up to Google and they'll ship it if they like it. The "standard" just becomes a fig leaf.

This isn't entirely new, but the "standards-washing" gives it the appearance of being consensus-driven when in reality it's just more proprietary vendor extensions with marginally better documentation.

Google has an explicit agenda of what the future of the web should look like and they're taking Chrome down that route regardless of whether other vendors agree or not. There's nothing necessarily wrong with this, but consensus-driven or "open standards" this is not.

Contrast this with WHAT WG's promise in the early HTML 5 days: user concerns trump author concerns trump implementer concerns trump academic concerns. Google has decided that it is the sole authority on what users want and uses that to justify ignoring anyone else's concerns or objections.
Well it does seek tracks since it's basically a high density floppy.

Definitely Nix deserves a try.
'Vim for everything' mentality requires a high degree of autistic behaviour in my opinion. I'm just not there on the spectrum.
It gets worse than the comments I’m reading are saying. They’re implying that you could get there with marketing. But the thing is, you aren’t competing with Excel. You’re competing with PowerBI, Tableau, Splunk, ELK, and Jupyter, but without any of the enterprise or scaling selling points. So this is a cool demo of a way to define charts once you have the data mostly there, but I don’t think it will scale to very large data volumes. With no way to hook into some already-scaled query engine, you won’t have much use by people that need to analyze production data.

If this was very performant compared to Excel, then that would be a use case that could get you a niche while trying to build out the scale and interoperability required for successful BI tools.
You could easily store the client configs in etcd then just deploy the client with whatever bootstrapping you use if you wanted to go down that route.

As long as the client knows what it's called and where the server is, it doesn't need anything else - designed to be as simple and lightweight to deploy as possible.

I also want the ad funding model to be viable. I'm happy to consider ads on my screen as a form of payment and I would not block them out of convenience alone.

But if the advertising industry starts to act like one huge criminal enterprise without any limits to the kind of deceptive practices they use I'm forced to defend myself.

I see no reason to be fair to those who deceive me whenever they can.
Well, what are the other alternatives? Also, she seems to hate everyone she knows, so is the advice really that bad?
Not sure your example would work in a real world situation. The UL would probably have an array attached as it can have multiple children. Then we get into the fact that all tags can have attributes, not just a text node.
Complaining is often a result of comparing our situation to the rest of the environment. When you are sitting in your car in traffic you see that other lane moving faster than you and you get frustrated. When you are at that amazing job you see that other guy two job levels above you with even more perks.

If you only surround yourself with an environment where you don't quite measure up then your baseline gets set two high. You need to recalibrate.

I recalibrate by doing Charity work. And I don't mean just writing a check. I roll up my sleeves and actually engage with people in less fortunate circumstances. Work in a soup kitchen or a food pantry. Volunteer to repair or rebuild someones house when they can't afford to or a tragedy has struck.

It exposes you to people who haven't had the breaks that you had and also helps raise the standard of living for someone less fortunate or lucky and that helps keep your baseline from getting to high.
I think that's a horrible analogy.

And yes, there always will, but I think that homosexuality as a taboo has been exploited, specifically.

It really is interesting to see the conversation here framed so narrowly within an understanding of China as some comical all powerful, omniscient entity coming to steal your children. Practically no consideration of the structural weakness of China. Everything is framed in a "they're coming to get us" way and nothing is framed in a "We should probably adhere to the values that we think are valuable and they don't share". It just reminds me of the kind of distusting behaviour that happened post 9/11 where the concepts being defended were destroyed by those who claimed to be concerned about defending them.

It's also funny to me that Thiel talks about how big science can't exist, as if CERN, NASA and many universities just disappeared off the face of the earth. It's always interesting how glaring claims like that go unchallenged in conversations like this. Or how he just casually suggests the logical thing to do is bomb North Korea and everyone just sort of sits there doing an uneasy smiling - as if he isn't suggesting millions of deaths on the North Korean side, hundreds of thousands of deaths on the South Korean side, and a humanitarian crisis that would primarily have to be handled by China.
