...but that's really the point: it turns out that cookie cutter interventions at the State level are, in nearly every case, a huge failure with dramatic, life-ending or -changing consequences.

I'm in Pinellas County, where there are indoor mask requirements for some places, but no other NPIs in place. Live music is on, gyms are open and people are getting back in shape, etc.

At the end of the day, Florida's numbers are the envy of most states, without any school closures and almost no statewide lockdown. There's no doubt that this will be a model for future pandemics if harm reduction is a primary goal.

Perhaps the strangest and most notable outcropping here is this: DeSantis, who as far as I can tell is a corrupt, prison-mongering, racist douche bag, for some unexplained reason had almost singular gumption to listen to progressive, established epidemiologists like Gupta, Kulldorff, Baral, Prasad - people who obviously have almost nothing politically in common with him. Why?

Let's face it: epidemiology is not a field with a lot of people who you'd view as to the right on the political spectrum (I say with a disclaimer that I think that the right-left dichotomy in politics is no longer a useful tool).

But why did nearly every other governor bench the career researchers and academics and bring in second-stringers, who had much more draconian and authoritarian leanings?
We need fewer roads and cars, not zero roads and cars. Think 2 lane road vs. 6 lane road.
While I agree with you, I think it's a mistake to reject all social aspects of working. It doesn't have to be about making friends, and certain type of work definitely benefits from direct social contact. Even with programming being mostly a solitary activity, discussing a piece of code, brainstorming design, pair programming, etc., are all much easier and interactive in person. The online tooling is just not there yet. We've settled on text chat, crappy video conferencing and code review tooling, but they're a lossy alternative to in-person communication. Maybe one day when our brains are wired up this will improve, and we have VR in the meantime.

Outside of tech work, consider how many professions depend on communication where this lossiness is unacceptable. So I definitely get that there's a wide spectrum of preferences towards telecommuting.
Probably literally using their source code, but not linking back to it?

Exactly.

This is a very important distinction that a lot of people don't seem to make: you have the language, but you also have the domain. Someone who is skilled in front-end web development is not necessarily knowledgeable in, let's say, digital signal processing, so it's a safe bet that they won't be writing the next FFmpeg.

If someone told you that by merely learning Chinese, you'd be able to give out lectures on fluid mechanics in the language, that would rightfully be a laughable statement. Yet it seems to be a common belief in tech circles that if we teach kids to write some JavaScript, great things will happen and people become technically literate just like that.
> Companies are unable to produce (e.g. educate) good people

It's really nice to hear someone say this. I've been out of the tech industry for a while (went back to school) and it is hard to put my finger on it but it feels like there is a trend to shift training and mentorship costs from companies to prospective employees. An example: Data science boot camps. Take smart, highly skilled and educated people, pay them nothing for 1-3m to teach them the concrete skills companies are hiring for, and split the cost savings with the company for hires.

Keep in mind dealers are not the ones who offer the Update/Upgrade you are dependent on aftermarket services which tend to be more expensive (It's easily more expensive to restore a "normal" car then buy a new one) However in Tesla's case they can roll the restore into a easy to perform upgrade because of their limited number of models and prior engineering of things like battery swaps to be quick/easy. While it might take a hundred hours to do a restore of a normal car Tesla can swap a pack, some body panels, electronics and interior in a days labor.
Sorry I wasn't clear, I wasn't talking about someone MiTM but someone actively compromising their servers.

It would be nice to have a corpus of javascript and HTML from these sorts of sites so that someone could go and look for these kinds of attacks but I doubt you can do anything proactively without destroying the ability to launch features/do experiments. Certs change rarely so pinning works, content not so much.

They don't make ProtonMail worse per se but I'm a little worried when people bill bad security ideas as core security features, it makes me cautious about anything else that could be problematic.

>I don't think any of these challenges make ProtonMail a mistake though. It's certainly always going to be better than GMail, which depends on access to your message plaintext for advertising, and therefore can never provide privacy.

No email provider whose main interface is a browser ever can provider you with those promises of privacy though, at least GMail doesn't claim it when they can't really promise it.
The O visa for all practical purposes is impossible to get. It can take years to get an EB visa. Most talented/skilled workers come here on an H1 or L1, and eventually get permanent residency via the EB visa.

For a company that's hiring and unable to find good programmers, the H1 is really the only visa available to them.
It could be bad for me and the US, no? Not saying it is, but it is an option. I'm skeptical a sane immigration bill can get passed. The current H1 visas are incredibly generous to the companies that get to sponsor them over the workers. I'd be in favor of a policy that was company agnostic and gave the workers a lot more freedom, such a bill would be good for me, the immigrants, and the U.S., but I sincerely doubt such a bill would ever get passed.
English is not prescriptive. That will not change no matter how hard you rage.

MessagePack:

* Doesn't have a sister text format for human editing.

* Uses raw uncompressed types for integers and floats, which wastes space

* Doesn't support arbitrary sized/precision numeric types

* Timestamp format uses seconds instead of Gregorian fields (which means that your implementation must keep a leap second database, and time conversions are complicated)

* No time zones

* Doesn't have metadata, comments, or references

* Container types have an unnecessary length field

* Stores data in big endian byte order (an unnecessary expense since all popular modern chips are little endian)

* Wastes an extra bit for negative integers

* 32-bit limitations on length (so max 4gb payload sizes)

* No versioning of documents
But with this mentality corruption will just go unchallenged.

Its a huge risk, but the rewards for removing such a big chunk of corruption is huge. So I guess you're right, it is more of a mindset thing.
> I endorse their statement: trust the banks. I lost my money to a bank closure in early 00s, eventually got some of it back

Solid argument mate. Next you'll tell me that forced land seizures is good for the economy too.

This is bait.
> There are indeed occasions where you need a proper rr-like trace, but what fraction of bugs fall into that category.

Good question. I guess it depends on what you mean by "need".

If you mean "for what fraction of bugs will a developer be unable to figure out the bug, given only the state where the error surfaced, but given unlimited time", I don't know. Most developers I've worked with either have rr recordings available or they do the work to reproduce the bug locally so they can work backwards to the root cause by rerunning the test, so their experiences don't reflect those constraints.

If you mean "for what fraction of bugs is it valuable to have an rr recording", I think the answer is very clearly "almost all". Many rr users, some on this very HN thread, will testify that debugging with rr is almost always better than debugging with gdb alone, whether or not they are able to reproduce the bug on-demand for debugging with gdb.
I have received the email.
Those lines have been blurring for a good while. Put an Insta filter on your photo? Tut tut, naughty! Your phone's camera app does the same thing for you?* Your phone sure has a good camera!

* Aggressive HDR, sharpening, automatic tint 'fixing', etc. Am I talking about filters or automatic photo processing in flagship phones.

I do get the sentiment in that statement, in that if you take a photo with that phone, you can get the same output without doing much else than pressing the capture button and being still. Very still.
I don’t know the best method, but my method is to have a locked down backup box in the same DC as the machine(s) it’s backing up.

It mounts the machine to be backed up and runs Borg on that.

The backup machine does need locking down in of itself but that’s a lot easier to do than locking down something public facing

> The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting because of the myth around it. It's a beautiful portait, but is it really the best portrait ever? I think in the same wing of the Louvre there are better paintings of Da Vinci on show, even though there is no crowd around it.

That's not a good example to affirm your point : it's a painting that was historically know for its technical qualities, representing the pinnacle of Leonardo's sfumato. But it's also been extremely damaged to the point these qualities are heavily lacking now.
When traveling in India, I foolishly took a cycle rickshaw. It was gross/shameful. A man far less fortunate than I was sweating, working hard, barely getting paid, and breathing horribly polluted New Delhi air while I just sat there.

When Uber started to squeeze its drivers, I again felt just like this. I hated hearing drivers complain about their life problems. I hated doing the math and seeing how little these people were making out of this transaction. I hated feeling like a perpetrator of class division.

The common argument in support of Uber’s poor economics is their superior user experience compared to taxis. However, exploitative industry is a terrible “user experience” for the ethically- or morally-conscious. And that’s just the privileged party’s perspective…
Fully in favor of this. I recently had to cancel a subscription that had no "cancel subscription" button and instead forced you to contact customer service so they could try to sell you on discounts and etc. No, just let me cancel and get on with my day. Unfortunately, it seems health clubs(and I assume gyms?) are exempt from this when they are like 80% of the problem.
Except if you find a conspiracy website that say that they are, and your friend will tell you that's a conspiracy and THEY are sibling. That's juste what they want you to believe.

Your muscles work by contracting little strings, which transfers energy. They've got a limit for how much energy per distance-contracted (aka force) they can apply.

Levers and pulleys are simple devices that move one thing a certain distance while another thing moves a different distance, but transfer the energy while doing so. They let you transfer the same amount of energy over a larger distance, so there's less energy-per-distance (force), so your muscles can cope with it. (They have to do more contraction-expansion cycles, but it's easier because there's less energy going into each of them.)
> US salaries are mostly discussed before taxes, while often for EU countries it's after taxes and/or after mandatory health insurance and retirement savings.

I'm not sure that is true. As I understand it, it's a cohort of people of that age who live in a geographical area of Israel where vaccination was started early. So it includes people of that age who declined the vaccine/didn't get it fr other reasons.

Of course, you're also correct that another important factor is that some of the cohort are not yet fully protected.

The definitions are here:

Quote:
In order to distill the possible effect of the vaccinations from other factors, including a third lockdown imposed in Israel on January 2021, we compared the time-dependent changes in number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations between (1) individuals aged 60 years and older, eligible to receive the vaccine earlier and younger individuals (0-59 years old); (2) early-vaccinated cities compared to late-vaccinated cities; (3) early-vaccinated geographical statistical areas (GSAs) compared to late-vaccinated GSAs;
"The authors later told us it was done for aesthetics."

I sure hope the scientists developing the COVID-19 vaccines didn't cut out any data points "for aesthetics".
Right! Just from casually scrolling through TechCrunch periodically I’d say that 95 out of 100 stories are positive or positive leaning neutral. Normally the consensus here would be that they are all puff pieces or “submarine” articles.
I can't see a reference if this is for current employees only or will be applied to future hires as well.

Does anyone have more details?
On the flip side, you would be still be faster on the $10000+ machine, and you don't even need to train to get the benefit!
I need to correct myself: on my 64 bit system, given M = ((1 << (30 * N)) - 1, M is the largest integer such that sys.getsizeof(M) = 24 + 4 * N.

Assuming I made no further mistakes, sys.getsizeof(I) <= sys.maxsize for any I, which implies that the largest representable integer in Python is (1 << (30 * Nmax)) - 1, where Nmax = (sys.maxsize - 24) // 4 = 2305843009213693945, so the actual maximum integer is (1 << 69175290276410818350) - 1 which is approximately 10 ** 2.082383733196259e+19 (for comparison, 10 ** sys.maxsize is approximately 10 ** 9.223372036854776e+18)

Mostly so that by the time you reach your peak physical ability in your 20's, you'll have sufficient practice to utilize it. It's not that you can't learn it, you just won't be "great" at it when measured against others who started much earlier.

Other factors are at play too. Like if you're not making money by playing the piano by early adulthood, you'll be spending your work hours doing something else. Where your "competition" will be playing the piano 24x7.
> so the people who still believe in the essential lawfulness of police

Your jaded perception of police is mistaken. You just hate the police and your argument doesn't make any sense.

> Ask to see the glass pipe they found. Ask to see the photograph of it in situ next to the tracking device. Compare it very closely to evidence taken from previous drug cases. When the cops are unable to back up their bullshit story, throw their whole case out and cite someone for perjury.

You want the judge to rule on a comparison of previous drug cases of how people store their drug pipes? The police need to back up their "bullshit" story because of this drug dealer didn't follow the drug pipe storage protocol others follow?

There are a lot of mountains in the US where you're going to spend hours driving up steep inclines. I used to live on the wrong end of a 2 hour uphill drive with one gas station in the middle. That road was steep enough that even a gasoline car couldn't make the trip without a full tank of gas.

Your comment makes you sound like a city boy.
Like the sibling, I'm not sure if you are serious, but my library SNAFU (https://docs.rs/snafu/0.6.0/snafu/) is similar to this at a step or two higher level. The idea is that you wrap lower-level errors (a file system error) with a higher-level context (opening the config file).

Taken to the extreme, you have a unique context for every possible error source inside your library, which means you could directly search for the name to find the line number.

This does make me wonder how I could add line / file information to an error automatically though.
We need ways to sign or put signatures in videos that proves their authenticity. Not sure how such a thing would work though...

Assuming patients can't get reinfected with the virus, then herd immunity will definitely work.

But for herd immunity to occur, a very large portion of the herd needs to get infected. And I would assume that proportion is greater, the more infectious a disease is.

The idea with the lockdowns is to keep the rate of infection slow enough that hospitals can handle the influx of cases.
No; symbols are opaque; to manipulate them at all you have to convert them to strings. (For example you can't concatenate or reverse :foo and :bar or iterate over their characters.)
Didn’t you mean Macs are the very best development environment?
Actually the burden of proof is on you. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You claim China's official figures are true.

However, China lied about human transmissibility of the virus until Jan 20.

They lied about where the virus came from including lying that it was an American invention.

They also did not count pneumonia deaths caused by the virus: https://www.wsj.com/articles/relatives-wonder-whether-pneumo...

They have also kicked out american media so there are no independent fact checkers on the ground.

Their official death rate is also lower than every other country's.

Thus, the null hypothesis is that china is lying, like they always do. A claim that they are not lying would need to be supported by evidence. Otherwise this is just the fallacy of an appeal to authority.
While the tiles do have in common with aerogel that both are comprised of amorphous silica and air, they are different in many other significant ways. LI-900 is 6% silica by volume, the rest being air; silica aerogel is typically 0.2%–0.5% silica, but has been made with densities as low as 0.1%. LI-900 is opaque; aerogel is transparent. LI-900 can be "plunged into water without damage", even when hot; some silica aerogels will simply collapse if exposed to water, while others have been treated to make them hydrophobic and will probably just break into pieces. Aerogels are usually fairly isotropic, while LI-900 is anisotropic, like felt. Aerogel is made from hydrogel by supercritical boiling — at the time of the STS design, supercritical boiling of ethanol, a process that had resulted in a number of serious industrial accidents, but nowadays of CO₂, while LI-900 is made by dispersing spun glass in water, pressing it into blocks, and sintering.

So it's not the same thing at all, even though it's made from the same raw material.
You are being a bit naive about journalism in an authoritarian country that has control over digital media coming out of the country. The fact that this picture made it out (suggesting that image recognition/AI censor rules are still naive in China) is proof enough that there are voices desperately trying to tell the outside world - don’t trust their government!!

No, they were always supported in the sense that it has always been possible to make a frameless window and draw your own decorations. In the old days this was even a highly desired thing for Audacious/Beep/XMMS because of compatibility with Winamp skins, which all included their own graphics for window decorations.

The only thing that has become supported in GTK fairly recently is a common appearance for them. If you notice more app developers happening to use them lately, that's a different issue driven by design trends, not by what some toolkit decides to support. Technically speaking, CSD is not exactly a new thing and has been the norm on Windows and Mac for quite a long time now. Design-wise, the practice of putting widgets into the title bar is what app developers are wanting now. Have you noticed the UI in the newest Chrome? Or iTunes? All the topmost widgets are moved up into the title bar. This is where we are headed at the moment.
WHO claimed the virus was not contagious up until Jan 20. They are not a trustworthy source but a propaganda arm of the Chinese communist party. The claim that their figures are true is simply an appeal to authority not even backed up by any argument that the supposed authority is even trustworthy.
