Sadly they will get bailed out. Look at what happened in 2008? They tried to send a message by forcing Lehmman into bankruptcy and that affected the entire citizenry. It seems to me they have realized that they have to bail everyone out or else we will all be affected.
2019 study. They do look at influenza, so similar to current situation but I am not sure if it can be used as is in the current pandemic

> Findings In this pragmatic, cluster randomized clinical trial involving 2862 health care personnel, there was no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza among health care personnel with the use of N95 respirators (8.2%) vs medical masks (7.2%).
Read the politifact. Trump said the accusations he hasn't responded are a hoax like the impeachment accusations. He never said covid was a hoax. Not sure why everyone keeps saying this. Its quite clear from his speech.

Loosening the definition of hacker culture to "successful companies promote innovation and grade on merit", then yes, I agree. However, at that point, you can also claim the Toyota, earlier days of GE, and Walmart have hacker cultures, and I don't think that's true at all.

You can broaden pg's statement so it's never false, but that strips it of its interest and utility.
How can one lose it? Before understanding it, one also has no ability to explain.
I suppose that's the priority as far as indictment goes in this country.
My guess based on the article would be it is not just looking at a spot change but at an overall curve, and considers the shape of the curve too (e.g. the comment about it getting flatter depending on the amounts of fat and protein).

So, I'd guess the shape for water intake might be so radically different it can be cancelled out. Just a guess, doing the (perhaps) scamsters' work for them, though...
Place names side, I like that Korean orthography is morpho-phonemic rather than striving for purely phonemic spelling. The same morpheme tends to be spelled the same everywhere it's used, which promotes reuse and actually tends to make writing in bulk easier. It also isolates the written word from shifts in pronunciation over time a little more, something that hangul otherwise runs into problems with anyway.

In practice the orthography is sort of a middle step between the hanja spelling for many morphemes and their pronunciation. Multiple hanja end up mapping to the same hangul block because they're homophones, so there's some information loss, but spelling is morphemic enough that you can recognize the same morpheme in different arrangements. If you can guess what hanja it might be though you can often understand a word more deeply.
In another post, the author wrote more about his opinions of MVC: Introducing Maria: The Real MVC
http://peter.michaux.ca/articles/introducing-maria-the-real-...

>Why no one else chose to write an true MVC framework, I cannot figure.

Many people have chosen to write true MVC frameworks, so go figure again.

>There is no doubt that the early Smalltalk MVC architecture inspired today’s MV* frameworks for JavaScript.

Of course, so why did you just figure otherwise?

>My take on it was straight forward.

And wrong.

>The MVC architecture has withstood a 30 year test.

And failed.

>It has passed that brutal test.

How do you reconcile that with your claim that "nobody chose to write an true MVC framework"? If it passed, then why isn't everyone using it? If people are only using "impure" MVC frameworks, then why did all those people choose not to implement "pure" MVC frameworks?

>It is still used for application programming.

So is goto and waterfall design methodology. That's not a good argument.

>It is very useful for browser programming.

As Alan Kay says about MVC programming, "Things seem to hang on in computing just because they work a little bit."

>Why not take this time-tested architecture and make a JavaScript framework true to the MVC that is implemented in Squeak Smalltalk and written about in Design Patterns? My experience with Maria has shown it was a good choice.

No reason why not to try again. Maybe you will be the first person in 40 years to get it right by being sufficiently "pure"! But on the other hand, maybe this is a textbook example of "cargo cult programming".

"Pure Smalltalk MVC" in the browser is interesting in the same way that running UCSD Pascal in an Apple ][ emulator in the browser is interesting.
Funnily enough Retroviruses are also the major vector in gene therapy.
Job security is a myth, sure. But that doesn't mean that contracting carries the same risk; the risk is greater.

Meanwhile, as an FTE, you get vacation time, sick days, bonuses, and company purchasing perks. You get a much better insurance coverage than you can afford to get privately.

* As a full time employee you might get a severance package, if the company doesn't feel like dealing with you, but it's completely optional.*

I've been around for quite a few years now and have never once heard of a company not offering at least a month's severance. Technically, sure, it's optional, but it's also insurance: they don't have to worry as much about you suing them if they pay you a little on the way out.

* I'd rather be unemployed (and motivated to find a better deal) than working for less.*

That's your choice, but I have to wonder about your math. What are you paying for health benefits, and what would they be as an FTE -- and how much better would they be? I bet it would make up the difference. What about paid vacation? Sick days? Holidays? You get jack-squat for those as a contractor.
Did anyone not? That was awesome.
Because any congressperson who votes against impeaching this man will forever have this on their voting record.

Agree with you but is not whether there's a good reason or not, it's about Apple protecting their brand. They probably won't sue him, at least that's what I'm hoping for a young entrepreneur, but he is definitely not going to be able to keep selling his conversion kit. His supplier is in big trouble.

You don't necessarily have to do a sitting meditation. A walking meditation is good enough. Find a quiet park with lots of trees/greenery. Walk slowly, put attention on soles of feet, or breathing, or path in front. Anything but mind/thoughts. As thoughts come, bring attention back to breath/feet.
Sooner or later (maybe days/weeks/months) you will clearly notice the presence, that which is (always) here. There will be some recognitions that only you can make. Some call it the "I am".

No, it is hard for the mind to understand, since the mind is quiet at this point. The mind itself is the disturbance that prevents us from knowing what is there when it is no longer "veiling" what is.

This is also called being in the present moment, being in the Now, abiding as the I-am, abiding as awareness etc. My first recognition was of what was real and what was not. Only you can make that recognition, it cannot be told and proved by someone else.

The second recognition was of myself being the silent awareness inside which the mind and the "I" was playing.
The whole play of the personality or "personal self" is seen through. The suffering of this mental being crumbles. Can you imagine the freedom ? No wealth or power can buy this.
Nice people don't use the word "resources" in that context :-)
Could you clarify:

Are you saying that a country cannot have actions of its own and cannot detain anyone? In that case, yes obviously, but it's common use and nobody will misunderstand. I don't see how it's misleading, what do you feel people are lead to think?

Or are you saying that just because the prosecutor has requested it, doesn't mean that it will be granted or that he's wanted at all? In that case, keep in mind that in several countries the request is a mere formality and is (save for exceptional cases) always granted. If that is the case in Sweden, as I suspect, it's not that much of a stretch to write that he's already wanted.

(to contract with the US/other common law penal systems and the way people see it happen on Law & Order, those systems are accusatory, meaning that the public prosecutor builds his case against the defendant who get to defend himself, with the whole process being watched by a judge. Most Western European system are inquisitory, meaning that the prosecutor looks for the truth and is not antagonistic against the defendant from the start. This whole process is also supervised by a judge, but that judge is much less strict and will assume more the role of a 'backstop' for egregious violations of procedure. This judge is this type of system is much looser in granting requests for warrants, searches etc. to the point where they are routinely granted, under the assumption that the prosecutor has already thought the request through and wouldn't request it if it weren't necessary.).

Then again maybe someone who actually knows something about Swedish criminal procedure could fill me in here rather than me reasoning from generalities ;)
I have some interest in various edit distance implementations. The problem with the basic edit distance is that you need to match each string against all stored strings. This becomes an unbearable computational cost as the size of your corpus increases.

It seems that what they have done here is create a rainbow table of sorts that houses all the possible edits at distance 1 and 2. 3 is possible but requires more space to store and more time to scan.

This is a very interesting problem and has application in many, many areas. I always felt like there was more work to be done here and it looks like there may still be yet. For example, an area that edit distance was initially applied to was in person deduplication. When merging lists of names it is important to identify duplicates and merge then appropriately. This is a problem for me in medical informatics and is more devious than it sounds on first blush.
Yes some charting/visualization would also be a nice thing to make the intro page less dry.

For example, you could simply interface to one of the HTML5 charting libs such as Highcharts or even pass it through Google Visualisation API.

About the datasets, maybe another idea would be to have some public datasets readily available to hack on.
My favorite one was the guy who looked up my name on a list of resumes he had printed out from LinkedIn or something and asked me why I was in such and such a role when I was clearly more suited for another role based on my experience. First of all, he was wrong, and second, creepy!

Just in general, be respectful. If you disagree with an answer, ask a clarifying question or move on. Don't tell me in the middle of an interview that out whole approach is wrong, especially when it's on a fairly subjective matter. We're doing the interview to learn about each other, not to convince each other about development philosophies. If you don't understand that there's a time and a place for disagreement, it's a warning sign to me (not saying disagreement is bad, but there are times when it's much more appropriate than others).

The crypto killer app is evading China's currency controls. Pay for mining hardware and electricity in renminbi, transfer cryptocurrency to foreign countries, exchange for convertible fiat hard currency (dollars, euros, etc.).
It's basically the difference between a fiat currency and one backed by something.

For example, something vaguely analogous would be:

[Setting: The Olden Days]
GP: "I'm concerned because nobody has ever tried to take USD to the government and directly get silver/gold for it."
You: "Why is the "directly" part here significant? If I can USD (My Pocket) -> USD (My Brokerage) -> Gold (My Brokerage) -> Gold (My Pocket), then whats the difference other than a few extra steps?"

The difference is that we never tested to see if the USD is actually backed by real gold.

... particularly given that Signal does have this feature--maybe not as smooth or easy as it should be, but still totally functional--on Android; so it isn't even a consistent argument that "we've decided they actually do not want to do that"!
It's actionable. Maybe it takes a lot of rehashing to get through, but still. Lots of these people voluntarily give up cars, big houses etc already, and more are partial to making carbon caps / policies that result in carbon neutrality.

I love Vivaldi.

I'm using it as my daily driver now as I just don't trust Google.

(I did use Firefox as my daily driver for quite a while in the past few months, and it's really good. I'm afraid it doesn't debug the web app I'm working on nearly as well as Chrome -- I think something is misconfigured with our Sourcemap settings -- and that has made it slide from my first choice).

One thing I especially love is Vivaldi still carries forward the mouse gestures I learned in Opera years ago, and they work so much better built-in than trying to use an extension/plugin.
I don't personally get it as I'm too cynical, but my partner says it's a very positive and encouraging culture. It's also gamed very well to encourage DAU so someone like my partner who loves getting her "dots" is incentivized to keep participating every day.

I reiterate though, it's working well for her health journey, so I'm all for it.
They've tried to deescalate, again and again. Putin has had plenty of opportunities to deescalate. But he has no intention of deescalating.

Unless by "deescalate", you mean "capitulate".
If you're working on a command line application, I would also suggest writing the manual page before you start writing the code. You can always change it later, but knowing the surface area of the tool, such as the subcommands and arguments, gives you a good idea of what you're looking to implement.
If you're interested in more "hands on" or practical video codec learning, I recommend writing a H.261 decoder. Only two supported frame sizes, no B-frames, and no intra prediction (effectively a subset of JPEG) make for a simple yet possibly quite rewarding weekend project that can be completed in around 700 lines of C (my attempt). Unfortunately not much existing media is available in 261, but I think watching a video being decoded entirely by code you wrote is a pretty fun experience, including all the weird and amusing distortions you can see when debugging; and from there you can move on to MPEG-1 with variable frame sizes and B frames (another weekend, assuming you reuse much of the 261 exercise --- I ended up with 1k lines total to decode MPEG-1), and that has somewhat more existing media you'll be able to watch.

Then you can try H.262/MPEG-2 and enjoy the intricacies of handling interlacing as well as being able to decode DVDs and a lot of existing content; and then there's H.263 which has intra prediction... I haven't gotten past the first two largely for reasons of time and other things to play with, but IMHO getting a basic implementation of a video decoder is not that hard especially when you're working from a standard.

I'm frustrated at the fact that this comment, and many others elsewhere on this, are creating the false dichotomy that Google either needs to ruthlessly kill products that many users are still using (Reader, Cloud Print, ...) or alternately support Every Single Product Forever.

They can still kill their outright failures, of which there are many.
You mean the death of the nerds-only Internet (a different kind of walled garden). There is so much creativity shared via the Internet by non-tech-savvy people that just wouldn't have been possible via the "old Internet".

There's certainly many problems with something this gargantuan, but I get very skeptical when people nostalgize and eulogize "the good old days" of anything.

I'll add, I say this with empathy to your feelings. I regularly feel a very strong nostalgia for those late nights of discovery on the Internet. But I do recognize that Internet involved a fraction of a fraction of the people using it today who are discovering and creating and sharing all kinds of stuff with greater ease than ever before.

> The term “responsible disclosure” is a shady tactic to frame publishing immediately and in full to those affected by the vulnerability as irresponsible. It is not.

What? Have you even tried to understand what responsible disclosure is?

It is about giving the vendor a chance to protect their consumers before teaching the public how to exploit a vulnerability.

The vendor still gets put on blast when the vulnerability is eventually disclosed. But at least there is less risk of the vulnerability being exploited in the mean time.

And if the vendor doesn't fix the vulnerability in a reasonable time frame, they get extra blast. We've seen this happen many times. The recent Valve and Intel incidents stand out to me as good examples.
No one who doesn't tow, actually gives a shit about towing capacity. With gas engines, towing = torque = power = horsepower = acceleration in the ads.

The casual F-150 driver who throws some bikes or a grass pallet in the back doesn't need 15,000 lbs of towing. They like that the truck moves quickly and can haul their 3,500 lb boat.

I think the price/performance of the Tesla kicks the shit out of this vehicle, but there are markets for most things.

So before it was open sourced, all those companies that couldn't pull it off themselves had scaling problems or not?

Box fan filters are great. The fans aren't really designed to operate with much load, so I had issues with the motors burning up eventually (3-12mo) when trying to force air through too fine of a filter (somewhere around merv 15 iirc, taped at the edges to prevent air from going around).

In college I had a _really_ cheap flat, and all my neighbors were chain smokers. I didn't realize quite how bad it was in my apartment (large gaps under the door, etc) till a classmate pulled me aside and asked how long I'd been smoking -- apparently the residue on my clothes was easy for anyone with a functioning nose to recognize when I walked nearby. Long story short, box fan filters completely fixed that problem, and as an added benefit you could set one up next to any cooking disasters and watch the smoke get pulled from the air.
