We had been relying on the grandparents to cover all the toys for our kids (4, 2 and 2).

But then I felt bad saying that out loud, so the couple days before Christmas I bought a bunch of stuff I thought they would like.

Turns out I would have been just as well off just letting them get the gifts from the grandparents. Too many for them to appreciate all of them anyway.
I mentioned this in another thread as well but I recommend watching MedCram's video series on nCov. They have been doing daily videos since late January, [0] really good no nonsense information.

The danger here is that the healthcare system gets overwhelmed by the high percentage of patients requiring intensive care.
Yes LOL I would load it for a nolstalgia trip. You need Netscape Gold (or a skin) for the full effect.
You can use it anywhere you want. Whether it's a good idea or not, like most anything in JS, is a matter of opinion.
Adidas has been doing this (returning energy) with their Boost tech for quite a while. Should those shoes be banned? Should track spikes be banned, since they give an insane mechanical advantage vs non-spikes? If the rule is completely subjective it is not a very good rule. Nike has a huge a incentive to make this shoes available to all, which they will do, so availability is not really an argument against them (I realize that’s not your gripe).

Let’s not kid ourselves, distance races are still all (99%) about the runner. You aren’t going to strap these shoes on and challenge Kipchoge in a marathon. You still have to put in an absolutely absurd amount of training time to compete. These shoes do not make you fit. For easy math, if you run a marathon in 2 hours and 5 minutes, the VaporFlys. may drop you down to 2 hours. Rallying against this just seems silly.

And shoes of any type give all sorts of advantages that have “improved” running relative to how it was at the dawn of time: stability, grip, cushioning, warmth/cooling depending on conditions, and now a small kinetic energy return. Why is the last one the only one to go?
What you're describing is just inconvenient. With iOS you literally cannot downgrade very far at all. For example, they stopped signing everything older than iOS 13.0 when 13.1.1 released. You've got a very narrow window of opportunity to downgrade and the options are few.
> The reality is that cooking is an art, not a science.

Cooking is a science. If you fail to evaluate your ingredients beforehand, then you're just not doing the science particularly well. Writing recipes and interpreting recipes are arts.
> how else can we measure one's impact?

Goodhart's law suggests that this is impossible.
They do, with possible the exception of Vibram Fingers, Lunas, and anything else in that category. Where the focus is mostly on avoiding punctures or lacerations of the sole and nothing in the way of support or cushioning.

As someone who has multiples of the above, various trail and road shoes, and two pairs of Vapors too... to me the difference doesn’t appear to be obvious energy return like you’d expect with something like Pistorius’ blades. The return and cushioning seems on par with my old ASICS. The aggressive design underfoot though basically mandates efficient technique. My barefoot options do the same but through being quite unforgiving and painful if you get sloppy.

Also worth pointing out that when I first put them on I definitely got the pace bump advertised but it came at a considerable stamina cost. They encouraged/forced me to run faster but it took quite a while to build back up to being able to maintain that for the distances I’d previously run.
You have to remember that when a virus is new and spreads quickly, resources and medical care around the area are strained.

From what I've seen, Tesla doesn't normally remove features when they sell used vehicles. This used S for instance comes with FSD.

https://www.tesla.com/used/5YJSA1E26HF231679

Having said that, what they did was bootsy and I suspect illegal. If they want to remove something, do it before they sell the car. A seller should not be able to go back and remove something, tangible or not, after the sale, just because they intended to remove before the sale and forgot to.
If your willing to leave the West coast, I was very impressed with the Dallas Fort Worth area. I can't really point out a single reason why other than very good infrastructure such as roads and transit and maybe the friendly safe feeling I got from the people there.

Before visiting Texas I had an unfounded opion of people from texas being gun toting rednecks but after spending a week in Irving, I can now say that Texans are a very friendly, generous and diverse people, nothing like the stereotypes I had heard and believed.

Increase the sensitivity to max and try to guide it using just light touches. It's supposed to be relaxing on the fingers, if there's any finger strain, your sensitivity is too low.
The exact same controversy happened a few years ago in competitive swimming when those full-body suits were causing world records to get annihilated. I like the solution that FINA put in place: only jammers (thigh-length shorts) are now allowed.

Because the argument is that if the difference between two top level athletes is just their shoes or their swimsuits, what's the point of the competition anyway? I mean, a swimmer would also be a lot faster if they wore fins, but then what's the point? Why not just create a more level playing field in running where the shoe technology shouldn't matter.
Obviously Google has a lot of really smart engineers internally, but they still outsource stuff. If you're working in a field that involves data processing, and you are always thinking "this is basically just search, I wonder how Google would do it and why they don't" and then one day you get Google as a customer it realigns your thinking. But then Google turns out to be different from other customers - even when they rely on outside expertise, they seem unusually efficient at it.

I think it's interesting not just if you're interested in Google, but to contemplate what the limitations of talent and intelligence are, and how they can be utilized in unexpected ways. And what synergies exist between the people at the very top of a field and those who aren't.
We handle spatial locality in terms of not just the source but also the destination, therefore we should be able to handle DDoS like attacks when simultaneous edges come from several sources trying to deny one particular destination.

This seems like a phenomenally bad idea.

Many areas of rainforest are only protected against illegal logging operations because they are dense with malarial mosquitos.
what you need is probably something like https://github.com/adhocteam/ec2ssh (I never used it, but I have built similar ones) -- and then you tag the log entries with instance id.

so you can do "ec2ssh i-0017c8b3"

imho: Hacking around debugging tools is better (mostly because more reliable) than hacking around production configurations (one problem you will see is that changing route53 records frequently will be subject to API rate-limits).
I come from Vim, Sublime Text, Jetbrains IDEs, and have tried a lot of other stuff as well, but not as thoroughly.

At some point VSCode became snappy enough for me to use as my main editor, and Sublime Text really spoiled me in that regard. What pulled me over was that VSCode implements a lot of features from bigger IDEs without installing extensions, and they also seem to work better in VSCode than in Sublime Text, let alone Vim.

The ecosystem is amazingly alive and well, and the pace of development is really impressive. The user interface is in my opinion the best of any editor I've ever used.

While I was transitioning I still used Sublime Text for quick edits to text files, but now I am using VSCode for that as well.

Also, it can do multiple windows, as well as vertical and horizontal splits. If you're not using VSCode because of some missing feature, check back every month. It might very well have been implemented in the latest version.
I think we are dealing with black swan event. It's new disease, higly contagious and with 200 more deathly rate than flu. Since we don't know much about that disease and how much that virus can mutate being extra cautious is best
strategy.
Saying that it's an order of magnitude less deadly than SARS doesn't exactly allay any concerns when it's still at least an order of magnitude more deadly than the flu, and probably twice as communicable. "A severe form of the cold" is the understatement of the century.

yup. but that's usually negligible to most companies. and it's probably not worth the extra complexity introduced by production hacks.
Not really "taking over", more like password harvesting. You just report a hostname at login that you don't own, the maintainer will update the hosts file to point to your system. People will gladly connect to your system and type in their usernames and passwords.

Like wolco, I'd kinda like a source for that claim, also. Tucows owns Hover, as well as being the back end for domain resellers through OpenSRS. To the best of my knowledge, Hover has never come up as "the preferred registrar of white supremacists"; while it's not at all unlikely that a reseller who uses OpenSRS's infrastructure has provided registration services to unpleasant characters, that would be a rather weaker claim against them.

39 bits/s is:

- 1.230 Gb/year

- 24 Gb in 20 years = 3 GB

3 GB is theoretical upper limit and overestimate to what human can learn verbally until they are 20 years old. It would require being awake and communicating 24/hours per day.

Of course, we don't learn all what we hear and much of it is repetitive. It's just raw data we could receive and communicate verbally in theory.

As uncompressed English text stream that would be probably 15-20 GB. Imagine Deep Learning model that requires only that amount of training. Not not as training corpus that is gone trough again and again hundreds or thousands of times, but as total input when communicating with the external world.

Yes, and mostly out of the box, too.
That's part of the problem though. Mortality rate outside of Wuhan reflects the mortality rate under ideal conditions (enough ICU beds, enough ventilators and ECMO, etc.) Mortality rate within Wuhan reflects the mortality rate under pandemic conditions.

If the rest of China looks like Hubei in a few weeks, we will be in pandemic conditions throughout all of China. If other countries start to look like China in a month or two, we will be in pandemic conditions throughout the world.
Ok. Done being jealous. Thx

Interesting work and great paper as anomaly detection in real time is very important now a days. Easy to understand as well.
Look, boss. I've been to the "genius bar" half a dozen times, asking them to replace the battery on my phone, which would only last a few hours, and they refused not only warranty service but, could I just pay them to fix the phone? And they said no. In every case, my only option was to buy the newest phone. In once case, they blamed me for using Facebook too much for a faulty battery.

Same with various iMac models I've owned that they refused to admit fault with until they were well out of warranty.

I was, literally, the legal rep to Apple for a company with 500m a year in sales, and they would still bullshit me like this. I literally, had so much authority I could buy every single product at South Coast Plaza and have it billed to my company, and Apple wouldn't let me pay to have my battery replaced.

If they were in the ICU in a severe or critical state, they already had the virus. ICU is not the same as the regular hospital admissions.
UCI has very strict rules for bikes, like minimum weight and geometry. Otherwise everyone would be using recumbent bikes with fairings, and that would be a different sport.

I don't think there's anything wrong with limiting technological advances in order to preserve a sport, people that want to compete with recumbent bikes or leaf springs under their feet can do so among themselves.

Not having a chair back means my muscles have to work to keep my back upright: there's no way to slouch backwards. Correctly postured, that work is minimal, but keeps the muscles working and healthy.

A chair back with lumbar support prevents you from sitting in a bad posture, but doesn't help develop the muscles that naturally promote good posture.

Even better would be if I could get rid of my desk so I have no way to slouch forward.
So you can sort the keys at serialization time rather than paying a performance penalty all the time?

Ah alright, that makes sense. But it works only when the destination is the same. In a setting where there are multiple web-hosting servers, you would need to treat a group of source and destination points as micro-clusters themselves.

Can you extend MIDAS to adapt to that scenario?

Making a habit of periodically mentally visiting your limbs and back can help. I don't regularly practice meditation but I believe it relates to this.

But I think best is to set yourself up for success. Make proper posture the easiest option your unconscious brain has. If there's something you're slouching on, remove it.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I have no chair back or arms, since I would always slouch on them. They're gone, no more slouching on them; I spent more time by default just sitting upright. Now I slouch on my desk though; I should figure out how to remove it from the equation.
What can we do right now to increase our bio immunity for this?
We have extended the work for multi-aspect data i.e. records with multiple features. Currently our approach is capable of handling structured data only. It should be interesting to see how to detect anomalies using this approach in data which does not have a regular structure.
I quite enjoy reading what Drew has to say. Something about his transparency, his intense honesty, his approach, minimalism, objectivity and slight tinge of libertarianism - it is quite refreshing. Not to mention all of this through the lens of software engineering.

Not really, I don't do this anymore. But at a past job I dealt with malware infected computers. One of the first things I'd do out of habit was make sure it had the correct time. We could connect them to a network but it was heavily firewalled which included blocking NTP. Not wanting to have to set time manually all the time I wrote a Powershell script that parsed www.time.gov. I'm sure that script won't work now.

I mean city life isn't for everyone but I personally love dense urban cities and you can 100% have a great QOL there, especially when well designed. I live in NYC and would point to Lisbon, Paris, Copenhagen, Budapest, and Amsterdam among others. A lot of the negatives that can come with dense urban areas are bad execution that can sometimes even be fixed within one city. Montreal for example does a great job solving for lack of green space.

I love cities for availability of so many things quickly, diverse people and cultures that can only really be accomplished with large numbers of people, large social pools, high arts density, public transit so no need for a car, etc. If you're looking for a large space to live in, a backyard, lots of nature, then most cities won't hit that. Just depends on values but neither is wrong.

If they screw up other measures, like hygiene for the sick and food delivery to 50 million people they can multiply the death rate.

Modern theory of Spanish flu[1] is that the flu itself was not that deadly. Combination of influenza with bacteria in the lungs caused most of the deaths. It was the World War I with lots of wounded in the same place, bad hygiene conditions, many with scarred lungs from poison gas and civilians suffering from malnutrition.

[1]: Bacterial Pneumonia Caused Most Deaths in 1918 Influenza Pandemic - Implications for Future Pandemic Planning
https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/bacterial-pneu...

> However, it is possible that — as in 1918 — a similar pattern of viral damage followed by bacterial invasion could unfold, say the authors. Preparations for diagnosing, treating and preventing bacterial pneumonia should be among highest priorities in influenza pandemic planning, they write. "We are encouraged by the fact that pandemic planners are already considering and implementing some of these actions," says Dr. Fauci.
I agree, It's viral pneumonia for those over 60 and heavy smokers. China has 240M people who are 60 or older. Assuming a 2% mortality in that population and the fact that many of the younger infected have mild symptoms, 1/4 to 1/2 of these folks may be infected in the next 3-6 months. That's 1-2M fatalities.
I wonder how they lined up each of the time box to each color gradient at diff resolutions. From what I see, that gradient and map is a single pic.
My anecdata from a few influenza events is that it is truly awful. A week of slowly worsening fever. I got close to admitting myself to hospital before my fever broke and I recovered. Symptoms dissapear very quickly once it's over, but it took me months to recover my fitness.
