I'm an extra and a VE. I take a radio with me on all of my back country camping trips and have a solar+battery repeater set up in my 4x4. I've ended up many places where neither radio could get out to anyone simplex and no repeaters were in range. Amateur radio works great when you have a communications plan and know you'll be in range (like when you're working with a group) but for small groups/solo back country and new areas I'll be picking up either a PLB or an inreach for this season. Others mentioned HF, I don't think you can expect to be able to string a wire dipole up and transit if you break your ankle or something ~ assuming the solar conditions allow you to get out anyway.

Also I meet lots of people who have taken the test and bought the $30 radio but don't know how to use it. Practice, practice, practice. I look at group camping trips as an opportunity to practice wilderness protocol and usually come back with a bunch of notes on what worked/didn't.

The vector was civets, which are not cats. See the evolutionary tree here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feliformia#Phylogenetic_tree

Felidae are cats, and Viverridae are civets (closer to hyenas and mongooses).
You should take a look at Australia, where we try to shove hundreds of customers onto a single node (Up to 900 per node, up to 250 per segment).

Edit: Although it wouldn't be fair to leave out that it's a EuroDOCSIS 3.0 setup with 16/4 downstream/upstream, with very limited 3.1 being used on a small scale.
I don't think we need symmetrical, but could we get 4:1 ratio instead of 20:1 please?
PIN fiber that Verizon FiOS uses is 4:1 at the physical layer, or it was with BPON and GPON standards. I did not follow. I imagine they can sell symmetrical since most people don't use much upstream. Oversubscription is standard and works great in almost all cases.

"The percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza decreased from 7.1% to 6.7% and is below the epidemic threshold."

That's not mortality rate. You make it sound like 7% of those with flu will die. Instead it means that 7% of deaths are because of flu and pneumonia, which still seems high to me though
Firefox's preference is "font.system.whitelist". You can specify a list of which fonts are exposed to web content (such as the default set shipped with your OS). The preference is used by the Tor browser.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1121643

Does Safari actually do something similar? On my Mac, amiunique.org reports 344 fonts in Safari, 331 in Firefox (not using "font.system.whitelist"), and 309 in Chrome.
That says 7 percent of deaths are from influenza, not that 7 percent of people with influenza die.
Its not like a lot of airlines have good reputations flying out of the same places as Spirit. For a certain type of travel (one carryon, not super long flight), its actually ok. They suck but the lower price compensates for the difference in suck between them and some of the others.

I believe modern cell standards use either NAVSTAR or base station broadcasts to synchronize time slots, adjust beam forming parameters, arrange call tower handovers and such to provide Tokyo or New York or Delhi relevant density capability, and thus GPS functionality is a requirement, apart from convenience of whether it’s available to userland runs in application processor.

There is a fix for this. Charge the max services fee on top of ticket price and credit back for services not used. Didn’t bring a check-in? Here is $50. Not gonna eat? Keep this $20. Suddenly now they are not nickel-and-diming. They are handing out money.

This just sounds like a classic case of perfect being the enemy of good. A bunch of "purists" unironically lamenting the fact the device isn't 100.00% FOSS while typing on much more closed platforms. Or maybe just planted misinformation by competitors or three-letter agencies, either of which don't seem too far-fetched these days.
The GPS is done on the EG25-G modem and can't be switched independently.

I think he could have wrapped his paper up after showing this one example:

> (input) I put two trophies on a table, and then add another, the total number is (GPT-2 continuation) five trophies and I'm like, 'Well, I can live with that, right?

GPT-2 correctly inferred that the continuation should be a number of trophies, based on bazillions of similar sentences. But it had no understanding that arithmetic was called for. Despite the giant clues of "add" and "total", it didn't add 2+1 and continue "three trophies". It was mindlessly oblivious to the clearly implied request for a sum. Therefore it did not "understand" the input at all, in any sense whatever.
upvoted, but I hate you for the PTSD the PKCS standards trigger :)
Quite frightening, really, given CRISPR. It's like discussing optimal ways to build a thermonuclear bomb in your kitchen casually in an open, public forum.
They don't technically. I remember there being a provider here in Germany where you could switch your connections profile around. (afaik something like 6:1, 1:1, 1:6) This was way back when speeds really were an issue, so freelance web developers etc loved them. Haven't seen anything like that for a while though, at least in the home offerings. (but I also would expect demand to be quite low for it)
Isn't telstra just riddled with stories of corruption over time?

https://www.channelnews.com.au/key-telstra-5g-partner-admits...
Well technically it’s all a closed cycle. Humans consume carbon sinks, whether it’s for glucose or joules, to survive.

The carbon sinks we consume to produce glucose do tend to be ones that pulled their carbon from to atmosphere in the last couple years, rather than millions of years ago.

And I agree, moving fresh carbon between atmosphere, organisms, and back into the atmosphere doesn’t have a net effect that builds up over time like burning fossil fuels. So it wasn’t a great comparison.

First mention of Linux I’ve seen wrt modem firmware. Interesting!
I once subscribed to a Canadian magazine called "The Walrus" -- it was the Canadian parallel to Harper's.

The articles were well-written, but the subject matters were... how to put this... oh so boring. They were all these long-form articles about first-world upper middle class white-bread issues that few people actually cared about except for the insular literary classes.

I killed my subscription and subscribed to the Atlantic instead.
You are right C is a good choice for arduino, but if Python can be used with it, I believe Haskell can also be used in similar way.

It will bring many high level features like type safety, immutability, runtime error free code and code that is easy to refactor, once the Haskell learning curve is climbed. I like Haskell for its brevity and pseudo code like syntax which really runs like Python with all the necessary safety.

Given Haskell share in the overall eco-system of languages, I don’t expect it to have any significant impact. But this little steps are necessary to move forward Haskell.

I think the biggest stumbling block Haskell need to overcome is to have good documentation like Python. I believe if instead of just features, language research Haskell community needs to put extraordinary efforts in documentation. In spite of Haskell being an old language more than 50% of packages on hackage do not have proper documentation and unless that do not go up to 90% or more Haskell won’t be able to be used effectively by programmers to solve computing problems. We all stands on giants of shoulders and for that to happen need documentation. I believe people underestimated the power of good documentation. It should be twice or thrice more efforts than the language feature development itself.

In Shanghai (at least, Pudong and Puxi), mask usage has jumped dramatically since last week. I haven't actually kept score, but my impressions of usage from walking around a lot are:

- Summer/spring (lower pollution — Chinese AQI around 60–100, with spikes to 150): 5-10% of people wear masks outdoors. The indoor rate is lower (2-3%?).

- December/early January (AQI typically above 120): 20-30% outdoors. The indoor rate is much lower.

- As of January 23/24: 80-90% outdoors. The indoor rate is at least as high. This time period includes a couple of anomalously low-pollution days (AQI 30 — the lowest I've ever seen in Shanghai), when I might otherwise expect mask usage to be even lower than that 20–30% from before the Wuhan events escalated.

This is just people walking around and shopping. As of a few days ago, some businesses, such as Starbucks and Didi (Chinese Uber/Lyft), require employees to wear respirators (and they've messaged to customers on WeChat and in the Chinese Starbucks and Didi apps).

Isn't the very fact people eat bats alarming? Who would eat bats voluntarily? They probably don't have much choice there.
I love spirit. If I can save $50 on a flight that would normally cost $200, that means I can visit my girlfriend 4 times instead of 3 for the same price.

"The cascade of reports following the June 2013 government surveillance revelations by NSA contractor Edward Snowden have brought new attention to debates about how best to preserve Americans’ privacy in the digital age."

Unfortunately time-series data on perceptions and sentiments is difficult to find. But the very fact we're discussing this on the grounds of it being or not being an Edward Snowden-related awareness speaks to Snowden's impact. As does the the fact that the matter hasn't been considered notable enough to warrant tracking over time as part of a sentiment study.

Writing as someone who has been long aware of the issue, well before Snowden. But who has also noted that the nature and tenor of discussions with others since has changed markedly.
Yes, because they deserve to state their case like anybody else. If they're wrong, they'll be proven to be as much.

Personally, I'm vaccinated for all the major stuff of course, but I don't do flu shots. A friend of mine's daughter almost died years ago from I guess it was an allergic reaction. Another had a coworker at a hospital who still has trouble walking (last I talked to him) as a result of hers. Measles I can understand given the risk exposure from not getting it, but flu shots no thanks.
This post spurred me to learn that linux, specifically Ubuntu runs nearly perfect on the surface go. Only cameras don't seem to work which is an accomplishment. Would be curious to see if the power usage improvements of Ubuntu 19 could give 9 hours of actual battery life on this compared to the 6 it usually has provided in windows.

Semi related; I've wanted to run MacOS with full update support on a surface pro for some time. Hackintosh can provide one working snapshot, but I want a device I have to hack to keep running. In case this has changed would love to know. I love the form factor of the Surface.

It's surprisingly reminiscent of the "leader" and "trailer" of tape and film, and according to the quotes in the link, are required for the transcription process that "reads" the genome. The analogous functionality of reading a genome, and that of a human-made device reading tape or film, is fascinating.

> Someone claimed it was unclear the bat was for human consumption,

This is you failing to read. The claim was that there was a link between bats being eaten and the disease, which has not been demonstrated. Is it plausible? Sure. It is "suggested" (as was claimed) or "linked" (as was also claimed)? No, that's just speculation.

A key thing to keep in mind with air travel customers is that it's nigh-impossible to effectively search and filter on anything past price and maybe number of free bags. Thus, you get people buying seats with no leg room... because travel search sites lump everything together, and without researching every single flight in the list, there's no way to actually see how much leg room there is in advance.

NULL / nil isn't bad; however any case where encountering one is a problem is most often an issue of under-specified program design.

The better question is, what were you expecting there and how can it be described without a bare pointer? I often find a list is better, particularly in languages with syntax sugar for iterating through a list.
Never leave the car unless you put it in the river or lake. Buy some emergency blankets like the Coghlans 8235[1]. These things are small, cheap, and work. Buy a bunch, they are little bigger than a pack of cards. Have an actual emergency kit in your car. If you are in the north a lot, then make sure to have some kind of food in the car. Also, the modern rechargeable electric lantern is a great thing. Do not run the car unless the exhaust is clear.

When the wind dies down, put one of those blankets on the roof[2] (use you favorite method to attach (e.g. bungee cords)). Also, a grain shovel works a whole lot better than most snow shovels.

> Could be even simpler? Someone is going out and killing the bats right? They are physically handling dead bats in bulk, why can’t that be enough?

Because the specific claim was "most probably bats being eaten[1]" (not found in citation). The commenter above took an article which claims that the virus is linked to those found in bats, to "most probably" being caused by bats being eaten.

That is the speculation/claim that is under dispute.
