Because Apple still doesn't support WebGL2 (similar to OpenGL ES 3.0) after all these years. Apple is involved with WebGPU, but they still won't even support WebGL2, which kinda pisses me off.

No matter what people say, Chrome is not the new IE, Safari is; and thank god it's so unpopular.
That makes sense. We aren't currently sure what the death rate is though. It's extremely unlikely that all cases are being reported in China, which reduces the denominator and falsely inflates the rate.

If you take Italy as example rather than China, there are 400+ cases reported, likely more existing unreported, but only 12 deaths. That's a .03% rate conservatively which is about the same as the flu (.05%), if we assume (darkly) that a few more people will die.

What is horrible advice is to tell people to never sanitise input, but then forget to switch the focus to what should be done instead. There's too much time spend justifying the headline vs. explaining what should be done instead and why this is more effective.

A Tutorial on Basic Python, NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib
No, you can get to 100%. A key is hydrogen (or perhaps ammonia) to handle rare long lulls in production. The round trip efficiency on that is lousy, but the capital cost is low (which is more important for that segment). A simple cycle gas turbine plant is only 5% of the cost of a nuclear plant of the same rated power.

Try playing with this online modeling tool:

With the plausible numbers there, new nuclear is optimized out of the mix.

This will be more expensive than fossil fuels with free CO2 release, but presumably CO2 taxes get ramped up to the point that's no longer true.

Ditto. This article feels like it was published before the author had finished vetting out everything he/she wanted to demonstrate.
Is there a website?
I suppose it depends on the type of places you travel to. I haven't ordered room service in decades but I'd much rather walk or take a short drive from the hotel and get out than hang out in my room with semi-hot takeout.
And we keep subjecting ourselves to that.

It seems to me that the most logical response is for merchants on Etsy to get together and launch their own platform, collectively owned by the merchants. It puts them in control and not at the mercy of some company wielding power over them, while they keep the advantage of having a single platform with a lot of merchants.

In fact, I've also been thinking taxi drivers should do something like that to fight back against Uber. Cut out these artificial middlemen and deal directly with your customer through collective tools that give you the same advantage as the big companies.
I think next will be universities (we already cancelled a conference in mine). Japan has taken the issue too lightly since the beginning, it's good they finally start acting on it.
Dear NYT: if all I can see when I visit your article is your advertisement and a request to create an account to continue, I'm closing the tab again.
I definitely interpreted it as the latter so thanks for clarifying with that edit :’D
> Restaurants are asked to pay 30% of the ticket.

I was not aware of that. I can see the logic (“we’re providing a service for your business”, etc.) but it feels like double dipping. Especially since it seems as though that cost is passed straight onto the customer anyhow.
How many farms can you stack?
Over ~60 really, but schools are still amazing in terms of spread (to everyone), even if most of the kids would be fine after 2 weeks at home.
Compared to many other countries, the United States has unpredictably overpriced medical costs that specifically burden the patient.

my concern is that it's trained many people (especial those living paycheck to paycheck) to simply not seek medical services unless their condition demands the emergency room.

I feel this economic reality will create conditions advantagous to the spread of Covid 19 in the United States.
> If I hire an employee I am constrained by employee-employer regs. Those can sometimes be onerous,

Undoubtedly, but compared to hiring through an outsourced company, you do get more control over how these employees are treated, and can thus remove the risk of the operation being run as a sweat shop under your own nose, assuming that's something you wish to care about.

> -- are you liable in your state/province/department, or theirs?

In most parts of the world you should be able to set up the equivalent of an LLC in order to minimize your risk, though of course, this will mean some extra bureaucracy to deal with.

Sorry for the rant in advance.

I'm tired of k8s as a hammer tool where every project looks like a nail.

It's scary to imagine how many servers are idling with zero traffic load doing nothing. Even in-house systems without any scaling ambition deployed to k8s.

Of course, you have to reserve 1 cpu + 1 gb for k8s needs on each server (you have 3 minimum) sitting here reserved, doing nothing. You can't use it for rare spikes of load (compiling, some rare data upgrades) and you have to buy additional resource to cover you needs while default resource requirements just idling because zero traffic of the system.

I'm sure it wasting more resources than all crypto-fads combined.

I'm happy to see more companies realise that and using just bare servers or docker swarm / nomad if they want to dive into DevOps and CI/CD practices.

K8s is a great tool for particular problems (you have at least tens/hundreds of servers, DevOps team more than 2 employees, you are getting at least 1k RPS at low traffic part for the day, have several SRE and so on).

Most probably your system is overengineered and resume driven if you need static k8s cluster and don't have any consumer facing interfaces (i.e. general low traffic usage pattern).

If you have different opinion I'll be happy to hear your points.
Are all the schools in Japan controlled or funded in some way by the government? I'm guessing this is an "ask" to private school and the public schools have it as a direct order.

You misunderstand the term Chrome is the new IE. IE used to be the dominating browser on the web. Whatever standards IE supported were reverse engineered by other browsers such as AJAX. IE eventually got overshadowed by the open web and fell behind. There used to be websites that only worked on IE, well there still might be. There's too many websites coded and tested with Chrome now using features only in Chrome, breaking other sites, or worse checking if Chrome is being used and ignoring if the browser supports the feature, or worse Chrome implements it before a formal spec, which breaks other browsers who comply with the spec.
I have relatives in China...

I don't think so.
I don't know, the need to air conditioning is kinda relative anyway, and it creates a lot of Co2 as well, thereby contributing to the global warming problem.

A few years ago I've been in an old monastery, almost daily, in both summer and winter. The summer was good, albeit with a window open. Not as good as airco, but good.

However the gas costs in winter were insane, from what I heard it was in the hundreds of thousands of EUR.
Our county school system has a remote learning platform in place that is used for bad weather days. It keeps the schools from needing to do make up days. I wonder how long it could be effective. It seems like an ok way to handle lessons and coursework for a few days but I wonder if there would be a wide gap in student achievement if it needed to go beyond that limited scope.
This is the bit that gets my blood boiling. The UK is extraditing a journalist to the US to keep Trump happy, while the US is refusing to extradite the wife of a civil servant after she killed someone.

> This is a big reason why the stock market is dropping.

That's.. a gross over simplification. The market sees a lot of perceived risk, whether that's school closures or factories shuttering temporarily, disruption in travel or other effects.

The move towards investing more in gold bullion is both reactionary and indicates the market perceives a heightened risk of crash. Note that the market perceiving something doesn't make it true or inevitable, anymore than your aunt Jill perceiving she's allergic to bad chakras.

> We can expect much of the US to do the same...

Maybe. That depends heavily on how any given local body is willing to admit the problem exists, federal pressure on them one way or another, and general population beliefs. I'd expect California to close a few schools if they see more cases, but I wouldn't expect Alabama to.
Being deeply involved in LA politics the notion of city being proactive about anything came as a shock. After reading the article its Clear: “In particular, critics have pointed to the city’s alliance with a secretive venture capital-backed start-up that is building its business on helping cities gather reams of vehicle data. A CityLab probe of that start-up, Lacuna, reveals that it played a significant role in MDS, even though the city devised the project in part to be a check on the power of such technology companies.”
And it's not a defensible business model because anyone can start such a company with very little expenses.

I remember using waitersonwheels.com in the mid 90's and it wasn't any better than what's available now. Also, I know waiter.com has been around a long time and makes very good money. Perhaps the SF Bay Area is a unicorn where there are so many people with disposable income that their time is worth more than overpaying for things that it can sustain many delivery services? I don't think the business model would work in rural Michigan but it would work anywhere with high property values and/or high incomes.
Quarantines apparently are a way to stop spreading it. Now imagine a school with 800 kids, with parents and siblings from all kinds of backgrounds. One kids with the virus can spread to a lot of people who can then do the same...
There is also likely to be a seabird problem in that location.
It's been a while since I worked on it, but I did get pyfive to work reading from S3 objects using either IOBytes around the entire bytearray read into memory or against a custom class that implemented peek, seek, etc. against an S3 object (the first method was better if you need to read a majority of a large file, the second was better for a small subset of it). Note that it supports read-only not write. Later I heard that I wouldn't have to use pyfive since h5py now supports file-like objects. So your comments about no cloud bucket support are not exactly true.

>Unfortunately, data breaches are part of life in the 21st century.

They are not. Just don't collect the data in the first place.
Conflict resolution of course depends on actual content. Source code could be among most tricky ones to auto-resolve or detect when manual merge is necessary. Documentation, art and other not-so-strict content could be more auto-resolvable than source code. Git is here simply a mechanism for allowing different work flows. Your web app should enforce best practices for non-expert users. The added benefit is developer familiarity with git concepts.

I wasn't familiar with OT and CDRT, so maybe I'm off the mark. They seem to try to solve real-time collaboration between multiple users editing same part of same document. This would always require some meta-document or meta-channel where users coordinate what should be changed, in what way and who does what. I would argue that git model is better: user decides when to pull and when to push changes, and the communication between collaborators is outside the scope of the versioning system.

Collaboration is just one application. Even single-user content creation could vastly benefit from built-in versioning. This would eliminate some mental burden and usage friction (tagging), and open up more possibilities to experiment with different directions (branching). The feeling you get when you check-in working version of your code and you are now free to break stuff, that kind of feeling is missing when creating slides, graphics, music, CAD design...
Your comment has a lot of misinformation in it.

> This is the one thing they do which helps, not hurts, human traders.

Providing liquidity is their job, and it benefits the market as a whole. If market making by HFTs is a good thing, it’s difficult to malign those same firms for, well, making markets.

> They rent satellites to count how many trucks leave factories.

This isn’t their business model in the slightest. Quant funds certainly do this, but HFTs look for alpha in market microstructure.

> They have access to person-to-person dark pool trades that never show up on the normal exchanges.

Institutional investors can use dark pools to minimize market impact when trade large blocks. HFTs don’t benefit from having limited information on these flows.

> Algorithmic trading is a secretive black box

Algorithmic trading != HFT in the same manner that a rectangle is not a square.

> It can scale up infinitely.

HFT strategies don’t scale. ‘Scalable’ strategies support a large amount of capital. HFTs run high sharpe, low capacity strategies.

> MetalLB doesn't work in most cloud environments because the networking is weird.

Sure, but most cloud environments are handled by other LoadBalancer controllers specific to that environment. See: Kubernetes Cloud Controller Manager.

> MetalLB is extremely new while VIP+Nginx/HAP has been working forever and is the standard choice for implementing a HA LB.

I do not disagree with that. Hell, I've filed/fixed metallb issues myself already.

> MetalLB plays the same exact role as what the OP is laying just in a different style that has nothing to do with k8s. MetalLB could have been unicast VRRP for all it matters. The value is the code to instrument the LB from within k8s which can work with any external LB.

Sure, but the author is not describing it to act as a Kube LoadBalancer, but as a separate entity with its own configuration. So to actually then use Kubernetes meaningfully they still need to bring something that actually fulfills LoadBalancer requests. Might as well use the same code for both cases.

> In k8s load balancers are inherently external to the cluster and need to maintain their state. It doesn't really matter how this is accomplished but Pacemaker/Corosync is the "off the shelf and supported by your distro with good docs" option.

Why? You can easily keep all state and components within k8s, as MetalLB does.

> The k8s cluster needs something outside itself to route traffic to all the nodes. There isn't a way around this.

Sure, that's called BGP to a ToR that can then ECMP-route traffic where needed, and that's what metallb gives you.

This is true to a certain extent but nowhere in the specification does it state that providers are required to send customer information. Each trip is associated with a foreign UUID which is linked back to the provider (scooter company). If LEO use this data for that purpose, then they would still need a warrant for that information.

To say that a person is “suddenly” being interviewed as a suspect just for traveling in a certain area is somewhat alarmist.

Also this is Uber we are talking about. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are using the privacy concerns as a pretext to protect their own private data mining efforts.
Good thing no younger adults in the western world are overworked and under rested ;)
Ok, time for a rant.

If you looked at that table and went like "Oh, just 0.2% for me, great! No need to worry!" you are a terrible person.

Even just at 0.2%, a billion people infected would result in more casualties than most recent conflicts.

Eradicating diseases is possibly the most noble, the most obviously good behavior that humans can have. And here we have the opposite, people spreading it because of carelessness, because it is likely to not impact them too much, because their holiday plans are too important.

Damn.

And damned Hollywood for making people think that an epidemic has to kill a high percentage to be deadly.

That would only give you one-directional communication, while the hilltop-to-hilltop systems described in the article would work both ways.
Cutting out middlemen is what the Internet has allowed in multiple ways. Its one of the reasons brick and mortar stores are in decline. Yet we also see an increase in middlemen, in the form of dropshipping.

We're also subjecting ourselves to scammers on market platforms and "crowdfunding". I fell for one on Kickstarter, which is also available on IndieGoGo. IndieGoGo acted (by disabling it), Kickstarter has not. In fact, Kickstarter remove any personal information shared by backers about the scammers. Who's side are they on, I wonder? Not the backer's side, it seems.

I assumed these middlemen platforms (Etsy, Kickstarter, etc) are there to please both parties equally. I suppose the keyword in both these stories is service. If they don't provide good enough service, people will eventually work against the network effect to create something better.
The simplest way to think about TileDB and zarr is that they are zip files of arrays (either dense or sparse). Not like sqlite, not exactly like parquet.

For a lot of what I do, I want a hierarchical containment system- the equivalent of folders with files. And the files themselves are leaves in the hierarchy, containing multidimensional array data. WOrks great when the arrays are composed of fairly straightforward payloads, like float[x][y][z] but also works if your array values are structs. Much of the value in zarr and tiledb comes from specifically how they arrange the arrays, for convenient read access to slices of the arrays.
Access is going to look like:
ages = root["user"]["age"][100:100:2]

Parquet is mostly a column file format, but with nesting. I'd use it to store large amounts of structured data with a relatively straightforward schema, although the schema itself can be fairly nested so some records have very complex structure.
Access would often be in a loop over all records:
for record in records:
if record.user.has_age(): print("User age:", record.user.age)

SQLIte is a library/CLI that implements a relational database. It has a SQL interface and stores data using classic relational DB approaches, including secondary indices, etc, and permitting joins directly within the engine:
SELECT age FROM user WHERE user.country == 'Bulgaria'

The Supreme Court justices are all appointed. It’s a huge deal politically because the current president will pick someone from their party. They generally vote in line with their party.

I completely understand your point. One thing I will ad is with elections you can change your mind over time. With an appointee you are stuck with their views for an unknown amount of time usually until they retire or die.

It really doesn't matter if you're struggling to take this seriously because key people do. I'm also not sure what exactly you mean be 'evidence', above what I've been reporting. People who are bribed are hardly likely to keep written records of the fact. But how about this: Matt Wrack, head of the FBU, told Prof. Anna Stec (who is reporting to the FBU on cancers in firefighters) that he'd sacked Dave Sibert for "colluding with the flame retardant industry". My mission is far from self-appointed: it's been appointed by many including a government select committee and the contaminants group in the FBU who I'm advisor to.
