I agree, they seemed to be scraping author images from blogs, and putting messages up saying "You can support the site by sending a tip!"

Tom Scott was alerted to this when someone sent him a tweet asking if he'd got thte tip, and was annoyed because he had no intention of monetising anything.

It does indeed look fraudulent to me. They have changed the behaviour now IIRC.

Consider the source, right? Always ask ourselves "What does this source, this reporter, this organisation, want us to think?"

That doesn't mean that we have to ignore everything they say; it just becomes us to know what the source's own agenda is, to better arm ourselves.

Craig Murray's website suggests he is, for example, a credulous believer of Russian explanations for events. He does on occasion correct himself (such as in his post about the famed picture of two different people walking through two different channels - https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/09/the-impossib... ) but nonetheless he has a long-standing mindset which will temper his beliefs and of course colour everything he sees and his interpretations thereof.

Of course so do we all, but not all of us are reporting on this case to the public at large, pushing our own beliefs and agenda.
> Julian had twice been stripped naked and searched, eleven times been handcuffed, and five times been locked up in different holding cells. On top of this, all of his court documents had been taken from him by the prison authorities, including privileged communications between his lawyers and himself, and he had been left with no ability to prepare to participate in today’s proceedings.

Still barely any mention of this case in the mainstream American or UK press. Until recently Amnesty International refused to even recognize Assange as a political prisoner, and the only thing they had said about him was that he was "not a political prisoner". They've since changed their tune, but it sure took them long enough.

A man is being tortured in plain sight in the UK and no one in the media cares to report on it.
No, but if anything, he was the leader of Disney Animation, probably the most important thing to get right for Iger (since Eisner had bungled it so much). They needed him, but didn’t hesitate to cut him as far as they could until projects completed and he was let loose.

The tech you use to build it matters a lot less than whether or not your partner likes to use it. The user experience is more important than the developer experience (both matter, but the user one is more important). Show your partner examples and ask them which one they like more, and use that data to drive the choice of tech.

Computational filtering techniques are difficult for a good reason. In the case of CT, high density objects like metal implants produce beam hardening by preventing the low energy photons from reaching the detector. With adversarial training, you can train a network to recognize and remove the artifacts, but you won't be able to reconstruct structures for which there is no physical measurement.

There were similar discussions a few year ago when deep learning was not commonly used yet and compressed sensing was the hot topic of the moment. It can reconstruct MRI or CT images from limited data (and thus allows for quick MR scans or low dose CT) but you have to satisfy a sparsity condition that is seldom granted. There are a few use cases (like MR angiography) where the data is sparse enough and compressed sensing works great.

For deep learning techniques, you need to be very cautious about which structures your network may remove or introduce.

Personal anecdote as I've been in Niseko (flew in through Tokyo) for two weeks and people in the area don't seem all that concerned. All of the locals on the trains are wearing masks while foreigners don't seem to be. There is hand sanitizer literally everywhere (alcohol based) and we brought masks to be safe.

I have noticed a high number of Chinese tourists in the Niseko region on vacation though and overheard some families from Hong Kong talking about vacationing outside of China to avoid the virus. Not sure this is something to be that worried about - I'll leave it up to you.

> for C, C++ and Python developers FreeBSD is probably your best possible choice because of the number of tools and packages available.

Is there any source for this? I cant think of anything that any BSD would offer for C / C++ / Python that I couldn't get on another platform?

Also, perhaps I just haven't paid attention, but I feel like in the last year at least, I've seen a ton of articles or anecdotes about people trying some BSD for the first time (usually FreeBSD or OpenBSD) and having some epiphany.

The details are a matter of taste of course, but Android widgets do kind of provide this as well: the home screen has a mix of shortcuts and widgets (corresponding to pinned apps in your app drawer, I guess?) and clicking the right spot in the widget usally brings up the app, so usually I use the calendar, weather and notes widgets as (or in preference to) shortcuts to open the apps.
I’d imagine this is almost entirely due to scale - Yang probably sends each email to <100k users while Warren/Bloomberg have 25MM+ list sizes.

Typically an email sent to 25 million people is less important than one sent to 100k, and so should be sent to promotions.
I think people forget whilst they are themselves fit and in a low-risk category, they will still get ill just probably not severely, and importantly will be a carrier to spread the virus to others. To near-family, children, nieces & nephew and grandparents, or just to more at-risk people they meet on the bus, cafe, office, hospital, etc.

Or indirectly to other fit people who eventually down the line infects a high-risk person.

So I think it is quite selfish to expose yourself unnecessarily. I don't think we should stop everything we do, life still goes on, but just be considerate of others.
Surely you still want to know about properties like add(x, add(y, z)) = add(x, y, z), to take advantage of the variadic functions. I was just pointing out that making something variadic doesn’t mean you have less work to do correctness-wise - it’s strictly a quality-of-life improvement for using the operator.
this is not a desirable option, the result would be a civilization collapse (which will also be the result if we fail to find a sustainable solution)

An interesting learning was, how to most effectively frame a person if you want them to lose public support.

They first did the "rapist" framing. Making up a case that never existed and repeating it in the media all the time. Surprisingly, that didn't work as effectivity as expected.

So they switched the framing from "rapist" to "right wing". That seems to have achieved the intended outcome with many previous supporters.

What it probably means in this case is that they had a term sheet, but that during due-diligence (1-3 months between term sheet and signed contracts) they pulled out. It's possible they found things they didn't like in DD. It's not uncommon to find oddities, but normally not a big issue at all.

It's a really bad move. It looks very bad to companies who might be seeking investment, and could get a VC a name for causing issues in deals, so they only do it when they really need to. It typically means the company closes down as most companies raise when they have ~months of runway left, and raising a new round would take too long in most cases.

I didn't say that Walmart sells dangerous bicycles. I said that some supermarkets sell bicycles that seem dangerous to ride, so I'm wondering if the regulations are strict enough. More specifically, when I was in the USA I've seen bicycles at the K-mart, so I was referring to those. It seems I'm not the only one who think those bikes are terrible:

https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/8xvfv2/has_anyon...

Still, you make a good point in showing that there actually are at least some regulations. Whether they are strict enough and focus on the right points is not entirely clear to me.

The example script uses a bunch of user-visible labels, not classes, ids, ancestors, etc. It is things like "click('Sign in')" which you would tell a user you were walking through an interface.

This is always going to happen when you go about doing what he did in such a flamboyant way.

I agree that he was by no means an angel, but I also see the reasons why the governments want to set an example. People have this idea that it's a terrible thing if their governments have secrets.. It's normal..

That doesn't justify this treatment of him. By any means, one would think he would be treated well in public.

It looks as though he's being made an example of. If thats right or wrong is anyones guess, but it doesn't make anyone confortable.

I think it goes without saying that the UK is becoming less and less the kind of place that any freedom-loving person would want to visit. Living in Europe, I am aware of a number of people who have decided to have nothing more to do with the place, and these are wealthy, educated, business leaders.

I can't imagine where this is going to lead if Assange is not freed as a result of these proceedings. We are watching the West eat itself.
I also think this a good idea. There are companies that are willing to pay millions for extremely ineffective development, asking the designer/creator of the product for couple of hours or days of help has much higher chance of success in terms of return on investment.

Yes, which is why the companies promote passing the buck on to consumers rather than backing effective regulation. I'm reminded of cafe chains that give you 5p off a coffee if you use a reusable cup because they just love the environment so much but then lobby against imposing the same 5p charge via taxation. This is why the emphasis has shifted. Consumers already have to consider when buying a product without investigating its entire supply chain.
yeah, digicert is quite expensive.
Due to lack of need. Creating vaccines for the common human strains of corrona virus would be spending a lot of effort to stop the common cold (possibly including a flu like seaaonal vaccine).

Work on SARS resulted in cadidate vaccines, but was abonded before human trials because of succsefull containment.

Work on MERS resulted in a vaccine that is currently showing succsess in humans.

Work on SARS-COVID-2 is starting from those, and already has canditate vaccines based on modifying ones we know showed signs of success against other corona virus.

Maybe this will turn out to be another HIV, where a virus proves ellusive, but I haven't seen anything to suggest that.
Question. Or maybe a statement

Given how expensive medical care can be, doesn't this indicate that perhaps our current system is more expensive to society as a whole? (I mean, there are other factors, but given that the cost of health care is something that even more 'well off' people care about, perhaps it is a better angle to push for discussion and reform?)

I think this is going to happen to a lot of manufacturers and industries in the West who are going to lose a lot of money in the short to medium term.

Looking further out, this and the general push back of the last few years with being so dependent on China, may be what further forces the West to start ensuring supply chains are not so dependent on China and the far East.

Companies may start seriously consider the true cost of doing business in China due to unknown events like this, and even more likely ones like military and economic confrontations occur (e.g. tariffs).

This might actually help juice the Western world for a few years as more manufacturing and supply lines are repatrioted.
