Could someone say what is meant by "de-commodify the ad value of a publisher ad slot." and how it is "decomodified"?

I second this - 100% remote is very important because otherwise there are communication gaps.

Also, in our case, we built our processes around gaming. No scrum, but people make sure to communicate where they are and what's going on regularly.

I've seen these kind of stops in the Netherlands and can totally understand your point. I am all for separate bike lanes but why you would do it in a way to have this separate "bus island" I couldn't see.
Not an unreasonable thing in a democracy.
I don't know what to say on the climate change issue - the way I see it it's not something any one government can handle - you've said it - just gets outsourced out of your jurisdiction.

Even with trade pressures, etc. cheap energy is going to get used to increase the living standards of developing nations.

Also all the solutions proposed towards climate change issue seem shortsighted and regressive to me - everyone keeps pretending that if we reduce CO2 the earth will somehow return to a harmonious state and we will all live happily ever after. Even if cutting CO2 in the future fast enough would reverse climate change effects (which we can't really predict) there are still marginal risk factors that could end in global catastrophes (like the previous extinction events in history) and on top of that the globalised society is introducing new problems that we've had to deal with for last 50 years at best. A deadly virus outbreak with a long enough incubation time could swarm the population considering how interconnected the world is, nuclear catastrophes have potentially global impact, etc. etc.

So the politicians are talking about climate change because it's a popular topic with the voters - meanwhile the real problem is that we are dependent on an ecosystem that's incredibly fragile and society is introducing risk variables that didn't exist before.

The world is very interconnected and optimised - but this leads to fragility. We've had situations where a natural disaster in one area (Taiwan) caused major industry problems. Not to mention potential political issues like the recent trade wars with China.

The real solution is working on reducing our dependence on the ecosystem and building more resilient systems - but this is not something an average person would find intuitive - and so it's unlikely to get political support. A perfect example of where motivated individuals can make the difference - and where something like Mars colonisation research can end up providing solutions for earth. And then again it might lead to nothing, and I could be wrong and the climate change campaigning ends up working - it's good we have multiple actors pursuing different solutions.
I think it's the opposite of what you're imagining. Refutation is generally a claim that the truth of the situation is more nuanced than a simplistic statement would make it seem.

Here you're right to raise issue, but it seems the comment is merely trying to point out that 'not all [Scottish!?!] rag-tag teams are bad' and idea draw attention to some such teams being superb. Which seems a fair comment to me.
I know some small projects are having a lot of trouble with this, because using only modules from fully paid-up adopter doesn't exempt you if you ship an end-user product that uses HDMI.

First and most important learn to be sincerely grateful for this experience to yourself and the others that make it possible.

This is difficult for at least 2 reasons. First, many (most?) are familiar with gratitude only as a concept but not that much as a feeling. Second, your attention is focused on frustration caused by your awareness of your narcissism as it makes you suffer.

In order to get that genuine feeling of gratitude the focus on your suffering must be dismissed first. Once you caught yourself in this state, notice what your body feels. Pay attention to your eyes, tongue and throat. Relax these while exhaling. You may notice that slight tension behind your forehead caused by keeping focused goes away. Now you're unfocused.

Next, it is necessary to train yourself to be grateful in such situations. As you're suffering from narcissism that is a form of attachment, sort of greed in other words, which naturally blocks gratitude, this will most likely require some effort. Finding your personal trigger for that may be a good way. For instance, some situation in the past where you were truly grateful to someone or something. Once you find that you got the antidote.

This way you may learn that your narcissism isn't something that needs to be fixed but rather your way to learn something about the world and yourself. And maybe it's not even narcissism anymore? It just needs some gratitude. And maybe someday it will be exhausted as there's nothing more to learn, but that won't matter anymore. I personally haven't gone that far yet with mine :)
> No you wouldn't: a car-pedestrian accident at 30km/h gives you about a 5% chance to die.

That would be including the accidents where the car never stopped, e.g. backing out from a garage and running over a toddler the driver didn't see.
The arch linux wiki page [1] is a good place to start (Note you don't have to use arch for the host to get value out of the page, I use nixos), and/or the macos repo [2] (Or maybe this newer one [3])

The only real hurdle hardware wise is your IOMMU groups and your CPU compatibility, if you have a moderately modern system it should be a problem.

I also have a couple of inexpensive PCIe USB cards that I pass through to the guests for direct USB access, highly recommended.

The guides will use qcow2 images or pass through a block device, as I mentioned I have a giant LVM pool, I just create lvs for each vm and pass the volume through to the vm as a disk , and let the vm handle it. In the host you can use kpartx to bind and mount the partitions if you ever need to open them up.

WHO needs to somehow convince China to release real number of deaths for the past 12 months in Wuhan. This would get the ball rolling.
First time I put Ubuntu on a laptop (2004 or so), there was an intel graphics regression so bad, I put windows back on it... This past October was the first time, in a very long time, Linux went on as my main OS. And running a new x570 board with an rx 5700xt has been painful until much later, when support got dramatically better.

Still have an issue with when I come back from the blank screen and login, the login screen won't go away... all the top/side bar shows, but it covers apps... I wind up ctrl+alt=f3 to login to a terminal and reboot. Should really figure out the commands to kill and restart gnome, but it's really been a pain. not sure if KDE might be better.

To me the new infection numbers hovering around 3000 means they don't have capacity to test more or faster. Thats the biggest problem in Wuhan that the healthcare systems got overwhelmed so they are still trying to catch up. Where as rest of the cities got enough of a warning to maybe curtail the spread. With people themselves isolating themselves so that they don't catch the virus I personally feel the virus won't spread as fast in other places.
Are we then going to start talking about how the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreaks were massively under-reported?

I don't see any of the scares or complaints of under-reporting from back then. So what's the difference here, the fact that the disease originated from China? Seems pretty racist to me.

Yep I remember the same forced fountain pen work too (also UK) and the inevitable ink-leaks in pencil cases, hands, books etc, and the fairly-awful erasers that went along with it.

The thing with the erasers was once you erased, the chemical was still on the paper so you could not re-write ont he erased parts. This meant you had to use the other-end of the eraser pen where there was a special blue ink pen. Often this would then "bleed" heavily (perhaps I didn't wait for the paper to dry?) and never looked the same as the fountain pen ink, so it was hugely obvious where you made a mistake as your normal wiring all looked normal, then you'd get this huge blurry fuzzy blue mess where you "erased" a mistake :-)
> Apple interrupted so many different industries

But I can't think of a single one where Apple in the long ran dominated in volume. Apple's goal was and is always to dominate in profit in a segment.

So, absent Android, I'm pretty sure there would have been another low end disruptor.
Taking a look at that report, it seems to be missing an important statistic when it comes to motorcycle crashes.

What is the fatality and serious injury rate when comparing when the motorcyclist is at fault vs when the other vehicle is at fault.

An accident involving just a motorcycle, intuitively, seems a lot less likely to be fatal to a properly geared person. Often times such an accident will be because of operator error and result in a low-side crash. Crashing into something on the road could result in serious damage, but that's a lot less likely than losing traction and falling off. If I recall correctly, the Hurt report supports this.

Similarly, in a two-vehicle accident where the motorcyclist is at fault, the motorcyclist is likely to see it coming and attempt to prevent it in some way. Additionally such a statistic will also include motorcyclists low-siding and then their motorcycle (or them) sliding into a vehicle.

Overall, it seems believable to me that while a in majority (56% isn't even that much more) of motorcycle crashes the rider is at fault, if we take a look at only fatal crashes and crashes resulting in serious injury, cars will bear the majority of the responsibility.

All that said, I also find that report to be a bit alarmist and disingenuous with statistics, particularly when compared to the Hurt and the MAIDS reports. I would assume this was done in the interest of "scaring" riders into safer behaviors and not with any malicious intent.
Linus's setup doesn't make much sense economically but the concept works. You don't have to go to the extreme end of available CPUs. 64-cores for 4 machines = 16 cores per machine, which is overkill, especially for gaming.

If you go for a 12 or 16 core Threadripper like the 2920X or 2950X you're only looking at $425/$690, which is $106/$173 per "PC".

Combine that with the savings you get from not having to buy 4 cases, PSUs and motherboards and I think a multi-head threadripper setup will end up significantly cheaper than buying 4 machines.

At multiple points the article tries to argue that things are outside the cities control. But this often sounds more like a cheap excuse.

From the text: "Several factors are fueling this disconcerting trend, from low gas prices that make it easier to drive, rollbacks on state-level traffic safety laws, the ongoing prevalence of digital distractions, and the rising popularity of ride-hailing services and heavy-duty SUVs. Such factors are frustratingly beyond the control of local leaders."

Some of those, ok. But well, you can't stop people from buying SUVs, but nobody says you have to give them free or cheap parking spaces in dense cities or make streets wider for them. You can't stop ride-hailing services, but you can police them to follow traffic rules. You can't control gas prices, but you can control parking fees (and police them). You can't change state-level safety-laws, but you can make sure the existing ones are followed.
There were extreme wind conditions on that day and the wind was expected to get worse through the day. The pilots wanted to arrive as early as possible to beat the storm.

Source: I was on a Norwegian flight at exactly the same time and the pilot explained this logic to us and also mentioned that we were on pace to break this record. Unfortunately, the pilot couldn't land in the wind conditions and we had to divert. Good thing we had that extra fuel too as the diversion was to Copenhagen which is quite far.

Working in an international school, I find that my German students routinely have the best formed handwriting of all. Many use Lamy pens. Chinese writing (in English) is easy to read, since they don't usually do joined up writing, and craft each letter.
I don't remember being taught how to grip a pen correctly. I'm pretty sure my grip is wrong too, since I developed a callus on my index finger from writing too much during school. FWIW I grip like "dynamic tripod grip" on "figure 3", except the thumb is perpendicular to the pen.
I worry that my projects won’t spawn copycats. Imitation isn’t flattering but it’s usually damned good validation.

Alpha: A History in Facts and Comments
It is deeply frustrating that we have 2.5 mobile ecosystems: Apple, Google, and Amazon. I find that all three excel at something other than consumer software, and the iPhone-imitating phablet landscape is far more homogeneous than we were promised.

I wish that Android had been a push for standard APIs and drivers instead of a full OS, allowing us to have some choice. Google clearly didn't need Android that much, as they still do well on iPhones without the massive investment that Android required.

> The german Autobahn is famous for having no upper speed limit

30% of the Autobahn have a mandatory speed limit for varying reasons, mostly safety (high incidence of accidents for example). On 70% there is an advisory speed limit of 130kph.

This means, it is inadvisable to exceed this speed even under the best of circumstances. Now in practice this has very little meaning. You may speed with impunity.

Until there is an accident. Then if a driver has exceeded the 130kph he will invariably be assigned a higher liability for consequences of the accident since the driver accepted the increased risk for accidents by operating the vehicle at a speed above the advisory speed limit. This is even true, if the other party to the accident is completely at fault. The only exception would be, if it can be shown beyond a doubt that the accident would have happened at the recommended speed of 130kph as well. In practice this is next to impossible.

There have been several attempts to change the advisory speed limit to a mandatory speed limit. Albeit the arguments aren't clearly on the side of the proponents. Regarding accidents, a statistic from the German autobahn ministry in 2018 stated that 71% of all deaths on the autobahn occur in places with no mandatory speed limit. Since 70% of the autobahn have no speed limit, one might wonder, what the expected result of a mandatory speed limit is expected to be.

In addition 33.6% of all kilometers are driven on the autobahn while only 12% of all deaths occur on the autobahn. 60% of all traffic deaths do occur on rural roads which have speed limits throughout.

Regarding climate change argument, the estimated reduction of total CO2 with a mandatory speed limit of 120kph would be 0.2% or even less if the mandatory speed limit were 130kph.

A visit to the neighbors Austria and Switzerland (both have speed limits on the autobahn) would also destroy the expectation, that smaller cars would be bought, if there were a mandatory speed limit on the autobahn.
