What if you drive around the country in an RV and call SF home for one month out of the year? If you've got an address there and spend more time in California than any of the other states you visit, seems like you'd be a Californian resident.

One of my coworkers did this.
Can't you take the tests ahead of time if you ask? Even if not, driven by curiosity you'll find math and science tests in school pretty easy if you've bothered to read ahead.
The us has a similar profit driven model parallel to state funded schools. While private schools have always been available, only in the last few decades did they move from large monolithic institutions to national corporations. What we tend to call charter schools, profit off of government funding while sometimes putting corporate incentives over student well being. As with public schools, there is a spectrum of excellent to failing schools. But instead of the students success determining profit, the school is often faced with the decision: chase test scores to get more government funding, or file countless, often borderline false IEPs for difficult students and profit off the extra "need based" government funding. This had the effect of replacing the natural spectrum of education with a pigeon hole, excellent high stress test driven school. Or failing, school whose goal is more that of a prison than educational institution.
According to this article, 11.6% of 959 healthy volunteers in a random sample were positive on their antibody test. so 12% of italians had had Covid in September? And antibody levels decline after a while, so probably even more.

Sorry, but this would be pretty insane. Most likely explanation is probably false positives or scientific fraud or a combination. Antibody tests don't really prove much anyway since they are not directly identifying the virus. A full sequencing of a virus would be much better. The RNA would also give us information about the evolution of the virus.
The author's very point is that the fun bits of school is just social time — and that school is many things, including learning, and that the learning time often sucks the joy out of learning for too many kids.

Presumably the author believes it's possible to structure more fun outside of school if the community were into it. It's too bad nobody is really on that discussion atm.

As a tangent, here is a photo of a German kindergarten.

Or rather because the trades could be done internally (Fidelity could sell off the stock they own)

EDIT: It seems my assumption was incorrect. This link posted by grandmczeb shows that RH needed more capital by a downstream dependency to ensure those trades: https://archive.is/GFtf2
Yes, that's essentially what I said. And I question whether getting stuff for cheaper (or free) is a bad thing for those downtrodden Americans.
The NativePRNG algorithm for SecureRandom XORs /dev/urandom with a SHA1PRNG seeded from /dev/urandom, so as long as the XOR is correct, it should be no less secure than reading from /dev/urandom directly.
OP (from github) here.

I apologize. I didn't understand Github welcomed this sort of use. Common cases of hosting other people's infrastructure (e.g. Sourceforge, freedesktop.org, Atlassian, ...):

* Charity (free) for open source
* Pay-for-use commercial users

I haven't seen a lot of companies volunteering to host other profitable companies' infrastructure before. So, I posted that with my knee-jerk reaction to the situation.

That being said, I take issue with your assessment of the situation and the criticism. I object to the designation "whiteknight" — I believe I am actually acting quite selfishly. It is in my best interest for Github to continue to be in business as long as possible, to keep hosting open source software for my projects and projects I consume.

The net gains/costs of Github hosting Valve's issue tracker are pure speculation without an insider's view, and I can't pretend to have that. I'm guessing you don't either? I'm not saying you're wrong, just that your claim is drawn out of thin air.
I don't know about rimantas but I really wish CSS would adopt Cassowary like Apple adopted for Cocoa Autolayout. Way better than flexbox.

Cassowary is hands down the best tech for interfaces.
Did you just describe email? There are a couple of things that make email unattractive for chatting: 1) latency (seconds or minutes instead of sub-seconds), and 2) user habits of treating emails as something that can be responded later instead of NOW.

I grew up with IRC, but I now prefer emails to chat. It makes you think a bit more before hitting "send", and so the signal/noise ratio is higher with emails.
I like permadeath too, but only after I've already mastered the game. Like golden strawberries in Celeste or Steel mode in Hollow Knight.
Who knows, if effects from this last 18 months from now like some are saying maybe it'll put a dent in climate change.
Do you have any evidence for this? I don't meant referring to economics textbooks. I mean concrete evidence that empty shelves right now due to this epidemic are the results of price gouging laws. For example, showing that states with price gouging laws have empty shelves and states without do not, when controlling for other factors.
Absolutely. One of the worst consequences that we may have to deal with at the end of this is that public trust will go down. In the beginning our leaders failed to act on the guidance of the scientific and medical communities -- almost two months wasted. And now, our leaders are flailing around implementing policy that is not based on reliable data or scientific evidence. They've both failed to react and then when they did react they are in many ways failing to act prudently.

Take a look at this editorial written by John Ioannidis. Excerpt that is relevant, though the whole thing is a worthwhile read:

>If COVID-19 is not as grave as it is depicted, high evidence standards are equally relevant. Exaggeration and over-reaction may seriously damage the reputation of science, public health, media, and policy makers. It may foster disbelief that will jeopardize the prospects of an appropriately strong response if and when a more major pandemic strikes in the future. [0]

Quick BIO rip from wikipedia:

I really want to hear the back story on this. Who is the distributor? Why did they end up at a Target? I'm betting the distributor tried to sell them to hospitals but the hospitals said they weren't appropriate/certified for medical use so couldn't take them? Not much to go on from a tweet but definitely needs investigating.
The "special shoes" really just depends on the extent of your problem. I've worked with folks that needed a significant lift on one foot: these were not cheap at all.

On the other hand, my mother has one leg slightly longer than the other. It does cause her pain, but all she needs is a shoe insert to correct the issue. It really isn't a big deal at all, and avoiding pain is definitely worth it.
There are shit loads more people in a position where they don't have the money. You probably just encounter more of the type who are frivolous because of where you live and who you interact with. Step outside your neighborhood, your county your state.
> having to explain why I’m suddenly taller to everybody

Don’t worry about them: if these conversations become annoying to you, just find better understanding friends.

I’m not arguing for or against this procedure though: it can be helpful for some people and can be damaging (both physically and mentally) to others like any other cosmetic surgery.
3% of "I remember when #clojure had 6 people in it" => 200 persons answered this survey.
That's what I was thinking too...

Then someone pointed out that Pulse doesn't come bundled with the NYTimes RSS feed - rather it lets people add whatever feed they want. Pulse isn't making money selling NYTimes content, its making money selling a way to consume content.
I was surprised to see more Apache usage here vs. nginx (and on the other poll, more MySQL compared to Postgres).
Every experienced redditor knows that you have to sort comments by "best" not by "top".
I don't think this is necessarily true. Who, involved in RoR, doesn't know about _why. It may not be his real name but many a person still knows about his existence. I honestly don't think he was going for fame though.
They don't hate people using the RSS feed (which they sort of have to have to be on the web), but they don't want you to make money off of it.
I'm not a lawyer, but doesn't that also apply to any for-sale RSS reader? If it doesn't, perhaps because a user has to add the RSS feed, then couldn't Pulse just do the same thing - ask the users to add RSS feeds (from a "suggested" list).

EDIT: I see the story actually mentions this, and it now makes me characterize this as one of my favorite annoyances, the selective enforcement of copyrights. Big companies get a pass, or a backroom deal, joe startup gets crushed.
Video calls have their (limited) uses, but they will never be succesful, they will never overtake voice calls, and Apple has shown absolutely nothing that hasn't been available for years in Europe or Asia.

We've had 3G video calls for years. Almost all cellphones except the bottom range have it, all carriers support it, there has been massive advertising campaigns and hype about it when it was introduced, it was the whole point of switching to 3G, and yet it's a massive flop.

I'm sure you and your friends will be very happy getting it, there are always exceptions, but video calls will never surpass voice calls in mass-market popularity, they won't even come close.
Thanks for sharing. Interesting read.
(45/10)/(55/90) == 7.4

That's how much more the average person in the top decile makes compared to the rest.

(68/10)/(32/90) == 19

That's how much higher the tax the top decile's taxes are. That means that they are paying 2.6 times as much taxes per dollar.

Is it too high? Too low? I guess it really depends on what the baseline is. You can't really tell from these numbers. If the bottom 90% pays 10% of their income in taxes and the top 10% 26% I think it would sound acceptable, if not a bit low. These numbers don't really tell much of a story.

I guess my point is that as long as the rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer, the tax delta is not high enough.
First off, from the HAProxy docs:

> In HTTP mode, it is possible to rewrite, add or delete some of the request and
response headers based on regular expressions.

Second of, it speaks HTTP, and it serves content that it is able to fetch from a content producing backend. In my book it's an HTTP server.

Third off, the difference is so pedantic that I don't think it makes any difference what we call it. We both know what it is, and what it is used for in the context of hosting web applications.
> Apple might simply stop developing iMessage

Or they might find other ways to make Apple platforms more attractive, without forced bundling of service APIs and platform clients.

Today, many customers use Apple's Mail client to access multiple email services. Since iMessage competitors (e.g. WhatsApp, BBM) would face the same regulations, Apple would have the option of supporting multiple message APIs in their client, giving customers more choice among competing services, and giving customers more choice among competing clients on each platform. We have years of data on Apple restrictions on web browser rendering on iOS, they have many possible mechanisms to advantage native clients of open APIs.
Right. End-to-end encryption is just one of three key aspects. The second is hiding or randomizing metadata. Old-school Mixmaster nyms with Tor transport and alt.anonymous.messages as inbox does a good job. It's fatal weaknesses are complexity, and consequently small anonymity space.

Services such as CounterMail, Tutanota and ProtonMail are taking user-friendly (abeit weaker and proprietary) approaches. DarkMail may eventually be a fundamental solution, but may be too ambitious.

The third is end-point security. It's crucial to use full-disk encryption, and to avoid being exploited. That involves both software and wetware hardening.

But even that's inadequate. It's essential to compartmentalize unconformable information in separate and isolated compartments. Isolation comprises all aspects: devices, network and Internet connectivity, communication partners, and so on.
I don't think anything is perfect, but with BTC there is a 0% chance of recourse. I'll take the option with a ton of consumer protection law and someone to sue over the Wild West any day of the week.
Who are you calling terrorists? A bus in the rebel stronghold Donetsk just got blown up and 13 civilians died. Do you think the rebels bombed themselves?
I think this could still be circumvented if this service was known. I guess you would intentionally not make this software available to anyone other than yourself.

What about some sort of 5-10 minute prompt? You cant ask repeated questions due to surveillance, or you could be also requiring some hash value. Perhaps based on some permutation of the current time? It's weak but I can't think of something else you could consistently make a unique hash of using just your brain and some changing property of reality.

Another idea, a heart rate or brain wave monitor connected via bluetooth. If it's disconnected, moved, or shifted it prompts a lock. If your heart rate increases or brain patterns are it also locks. The point is that it cant be removed from yourself, but others cannot stop you from locking it as well.

> There's no reason why video conferencing should require an installed app in 2020.

Much better efficiency and ergonomics?

Freedom to choose independent client implementations interoperable by standardized protocols (e.g. SIP)?

Independence of client provider and service provider?

Interoperability between different providers (i.e. different users can use different service providers)?
IMHO, at toddler age it's not possible to simultaneously work as childcare provider / preschool teacher and software engineer (or anything else for that matter). That's why we have childcare workers.

I agree with the comment saying to focus on working during your toddler's sleep hours. Get done what you can and don't worry excessively about how this isn't enough.

Employers need to dial down expectations during this crisis - it's the price to pay for living in a society. If it's any consolation, the economy - including your employer - is being affected in many ways and your reduced productivity during this time is only one effect of many that none of us have any control over.
Benjamin Franklin also never fought a planet-wide virus.
> Thankfully Trump changed his message after Wall Street and Fox News personality Tucker Carlson called out his political spin.

Are we watching the same thing? I've watched almost every single press conference and Trump has not "changed his tune" rather he is than continuing to lie, write history, and downplay the virus.

Just watch, when his eyes are down he is reading off prepared notes, then he looks up and starts riffing (lying and downplaying). He may be taking it semi-seriously but he is dog-whistling to his base constantly about how it's not his fault and it's not a big deal.
Delay is a real problem here.
I've always been meaning of doing something like this, but never committed to it. Do you also wrote scripts to then parse the file? Like, can you get how much did you work on a certain project of for a certain client?

This.

Logistics has a built in circuit breaker. Whether you're talking about military use cases or civilian use cases. At some point, you will just have too much on the ground. No more will fit. At that point, it's a question of distributing the oversupply of what's already there in a fashion appropriate to the purpose of the day.
Ask the team. Let the priorities vary with the team member. Empower each team member to work on what they think is important.
Oh don't get me wrong. The benefits are potentially huge. But it's also frustrating because I have decades of muscle memory built up that doesn't always work with Sublime.
Has there been any political action in the UK yet? I'm American and hadn't heard of any British politicians speaking out against GCHQ.
Except there was stuff going on related to this:

Do you see how there was some simple refactoring going on there in the structure and how the entire in-kernel functionality was added? I could totally see debugging function being created and sprinkled in all the places after all the update()s were called while verifying kernel stuff was working then removed and in this one place one line not enough deleted.

I'm highly intolerant of ads. I have limited focus. Most of all, ads scare me. I'm afraid they may have a potentially compounding effect on the way I think.

but the default position of most people is to disregard someone's position. There is a stunningly vast portion of the population that actively assumes that everyone believes the same as they do, even if they know otherwise.

"I can't focus with the tv on" "Yes you can." turns tv louder

marketers ignoring stated positions for money is a symptom of the greater disease of people ignoring others positions.
That relies on the assumption that they will not suffer a tremendous loss due to a rogue employee, a software bug or a malicious hack.

If they found themselves in a situation in which they are certain to go out of business as soon as people find out that they are in trouble, that motivation would cease to exist. It would come down to ethics, reputation, pressure from investors, etc.
I do think prisons should not exist, although I'm not sure that's what was being said originally.

Here's an audio interview with Ruth Wilson Gilmore elaborating. https://theintercept.com/2020/06/10/ruth-wilson-gilmore-make...
> Its pretty obvious what I'd be doing.

It's really not. The GPL requirements, AFAIK, only come up if you're distributing binaries and refusing to give source to people when asked (or, in v3, if you stop people from building and running that code). The only situations I can think of where that would even come up are situations where you're no longer acting as a user. So humor me; what exactly could a user do to violate the GPL?
Hi Josh,

The problem here is not that people think that MobileCoin is not a useful technology or is not innovative. From what you are describing it actually seems like a good combination of features that are particularly suited for the messaging use-case.

The problem is in the way the coins were pre-mined. It seems (we don't really know from the outside) that the knowledge that Signal would be using MobileCoin has been known early on. With that knowledge it is very easy to make money by pre-mining coins. The proper analogy here is insider trading. It is immoral and that is why people are calling this a scam.

How is this different from reading the code in a code review, or checking it out on your own machine and reading it there?
Does anyone know if there is a way to monitor sudden changes in planning behavior for a given query? For example, I'd like to monitor/alert on this kind of situation: I'm executing the same query for many weeks/months, some table involved in the query is slowly growing over time, at some point the query planner responds to the growth by changing the plan.
I'm trying to understand your argument but you're not giving much clarification. I don't understand why you can't use GPL software freely.
When people talk about the beauty of Haskell due to it’s definition they are making a qualitative claim.

When people say Haskell sucks because of low adoption rate they are making a quantitative claim.

As a research language there is real value in Haskell not getting broad adoption, since that would increase the demands for maintaining backwards compatibility.

As an industry language that philosophy is a huge detriment because it introduces risk and extra costs in keeping up with an ever changing language.

These things are not a one dimensional structure, otherwise Java and C are pure perfection due to adoption and Rust and Haskell should be forcefully shutdown or whatever.
> the vast majority of the software is not written in Haskell in its actually running.

The vast majority of software has horrible domain and security bugs! I am not one of those people who complains about the bloated state of websites or app stores, but the vast majority of software is not “fine,” especially software written in Python or JavaScript.
Heck,

old colleagues of mine have been doing "dedicated/shared hosting" for the better part of nearly 25 years.
