In the US, an address can, in general, be almost anything that the land-owner intends. In areas with a municipal government (such as NYC) addressing may need to be approved by the municipal planning authority, but this isn't always the case. The USPS will often not deliver to an address until the local postmaster has entered it into the postal service database, but in some cases, esp. in urban areas, they'll deliver mail without this if the address is similar enough to a nearby property that it gets to the right letter carrier route (e.g. a 1/2 or B unit if USPS knows about the base address).

The point of this is that addresses like 1/2, and even 3/4 and so on, do occur in the US, although they're uncommon compared to alphanumeric addresses. If you're in the position of dividing a housing unit it's a better idea to use a B suffix, I used to deal with a 1/2 address and it was constantly rejected by online forms that didn't allow a / in that field.

The USPS has long angled to reduce these problems by assigning a unique number to every delivery point (the ZIP + 4 + DP or '11 digit ZIP'), but this is complicated for all of the reasons you would imagine. Fundamentally the job of interpreting an address still comes down to the common sense of the letter carrier.

USPS P28 has extensive information on how USPS recommends that software handle address formats for e.g. bulk mailing, which is rather lengthy in part because of the huge variety of address variations present in the US.

Good for you.

I’m perfectly rational in my insistence not to support bigots or bigotry.
It's 1/2 way between. Back in the day all the big "tech" firms had long term R&D. You could spend years working on tech with no commercial viability as long as you could keep making better demos. You were most likely an employee with a PhD and a pension.

But then wall street started demanding quarterly growth and they all cut their R&D departments.

Think Bell Labs or Xerox PARC.
I've gotten the impression that clustered Postgres still isn't very straightforward to run. Do you mind elaborating on your ideal setup and point to some resources?

Thanks!
I'm not sure how true it is but I always heard Apple was very outspoken about how they never payed for product placement. What they would do was give away just about any Apple product to just about any production. And especially more than a few years ago Apple had some of the more photogenic devices so studio went with them for onscreen usage. You'll see them listed in lots of show credits as "hardware provided" or similar.

If this is true I bet that it was a condition of the giveaway relationship Apple has with studios.

We do know a lot about it, though, much more, I'm assuming, than we did when the previous poster was a grad student.

We know about different types of inflammation and the cellular processes involved, we know how it turns on and off, we know more about how it effects different systems and organs in the body. We can distinguish between short term and chronic inflammation and differentiate between types of inflammation that are beneficial and types that aren't.

There are, of course, lots of articles and trends out there that over simplify and make unreasonable associations and leaps... the comparison to quantum mechanics is apt in that way. But irresponsible reporting doesn't invalidate the source.

Our understanding is well beyond abstract at this point, despite how much we still don't know. The bulk of what we don't know outweighs what we do in most areas of biology.
It was just an idea. You're right that it may have adverse effects.

Yet I wonder: Viruses live longer on a "clean-looking" doorknob than they do in a towel, for example. This was very counter-intuitive to me. So when it comes to a virus, would they live longer on skin or on a bandage or piece of tape?
I mean, we have this. Identical twins are essentially natural clones.
Original title is "Herman Miller & Logitech G Join Forces to Create High-Performance Furniture Solutions for Gamers", but I had to cut a couple words to fit within the character limit. I'm curious if this means HM is entering the mid-tier desk chair market. Right now "gaming chairs" at that price point are mostly styled after race-car seats, which aren't very ergonomic. Hopefully this will result in more people being able to afford better chairs and healthier backs.

Worst case is we get an RGB Aeron.
The way people in a society think influences the character of that society, obviously. Do you disagree with that?

If people in some society like the way their society is, more or less, why should they want to import a whole bunch of people that think very differently from them, who will make their society very different in a way that they are not interested in it becoming? How would that benefit them?

You're being too binary about this. Yes, we should be skeptical of law enforcement. Judicial oversight is essential. But we should still care about police effectiveness at catching law breakers. Why have laws if they can't be enforced?
Faulty hang-up connections. Even when the phone 'looks' hung-up, it isn't. Fix the hang-up buttons so that they work properly, or replace the faulty phone.

You'll very likely find that when you listen to the phone, and work the hang-up buttons with your fingers, that the phone doesn't actually hang-up.
It is unrelated but the mechanism by which the association came about is funny: it was first widely (read: honestly) reported by Spain, therefore everyone associated it with Spain, even thought first cases, including initial deaths, were in other countries which suppressed the news.
I am not a lawyer.

Maybe Apple sues them for something like slander / liable (bad guys use X product) or misuse of Copyright?

Though I don't agree the above should be ethically possible; they're the ones that put that logo on everything. Similarly I don't think buildings or statues in public view should be copyright. They've been placed on display in public.
>Most (if not all) of WSB trades are done through the Robinhood app. Robinhood users are not charged transaction fees executing their trades, they can do this because they sell their flow (these orders) to HFT firms.

Doesn't this make it more likely, rather than less likely, that HFT algos are affected by WSB madness?
Prisoner's dilemma. A single wealthy person giving up their wealth will not have a large enough effect on society to actually change anything. It will only make them worse off (as they now have less wealth). From the perspective of a single person, hoarding as much wealth as possible is a local optimum.

When all wealthy people get together and divide their wealth, this enables education, housing, preventative health care, etc for poorer people in society. This will in turn lead to reduced crime, reduced homelessness, reduced illness and a much more productive society as a whole. This will then in turn generate more money for them.

This is a global optimum that will make everybody better off, including the rich, but it is not easy to achieve. It requires long-term vision, which is difficult in a world driven by quarterly reports and four year election cycles.

In my experience engineers don't care a whit about users except as a means of revenue, or more specifically as gasoline for the company engine.
The "Casa de Moneda de México" year is off by 1 I think (1534), or the Wikipedia entry ( https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_de_Moneda_de_M%C3%A9xico#... ) is wrong (1535).

Interesting trivia tidbit to know that the oldest company in the Americas is actually in Mexico.
I'm not.

If I get it, I get it. I'll probably be fine. I'm a healthy twenty-something. If it hits hard, I'll wear my lightly used N95 respirator I use for housework, and gloves everywhere I go, hand sanitizer if I don't, limit my travel and exposure to the public.

If it gets epidemically bad, I'll hide in my basement with my ham radios and 2mo of food stores for my wife and cats until it all blows over.

I have been considering withdrawing a large amount of cash, just in case.
That sounds like blog post material ;)
This reporter makes no bones about being a close personal friend.

He's also stated with no evidence but only conjecture and supposition that "the US government has given explicit directions to the UK magistrate in how they are to treat the case", and "found it odd" that US officials were in court (for an extradition hearing to the US?).

I found this post useful "So you think you’re about to be in a pandemic?" : https://virologydownunder.com/so-you-think-youve-about-to-be...
"Unintentionally uploaded"

Because you just happened to accidentally interact with the API in just the right way and downloaded the information to just the right database and deployed a service to production which just happens to access that data...

I don't understand how that statement right there isn't literally incriminating evidence. They admitted to uploading the data explicitly, and "unintentional" is a straight up lie based on how software works.
How long have I been in this industry? 35 years. Your view does not accurately reflect my experience in this industry.

Two unrelated suggestions for you:

1. You can edit a comment for two hours after you submit it. You don't have to keep making parallel comments or replying to yourself.

2. Use punctuation. It would make your writing much more readable. (And if you're not trying to be readable, then you're just wasting your time and ours by posting here.)

It's now an epidemic, not at pandemic level.
I stocked up on this new limited edition Eggo cereal, as it is the spiritual successor to the long forgotten Waffle Crisp, the #1 cereal from my childhood. Honey Comb simply does not compare, don't even bother mentioning it. If things start getting scary, I'll stock up on some milk.

While I'm exited about wireguard - you might want to have a look at zerotier - it works perfectly as a mesh LAN. Must admit I haven't tried casting - the only thing I "cast" is youtube - which is just via regular LAN/internet.
Ugh, agree. I’m in NYC and I have a 4 year old. The prospect of my wife and I both working from home with our daughter for weeks (or longer?!?) is nightmare fuel. Seriously considering trying to rent something in the woods outside the city for a few months but that comes with its own issues...
Lower overall, but I believe it isn't lower than the flu for any age range, except maybe 0-10 or 0-20. I'll try and find the relevant study link.
Even if you keep track of location history, Google can get it wrong anyway (I know, because I gave up the idea of having my home address in Google Maps a year ago - it doesn't seem to learn that I've moved out, even after updating my address in Google Pay).

Yeah sorta.

It's most noticeable in the network settings > status...there are like 8 buttons leading to 5 different styles of windows. The whole thing is just bizarre. Even the back button doesn't do what it says on the tin.

Status > Change network prop. Now click back. Do you got back to status (i.e. last page you were on like a browser)? Nope...goes to wifi.

Now click Dial-up then ethernet. If you guessed the back button takes you back to dial-up...nope goes to status page.

The whole thing is just jarring.
I'm guessing this is cryptographically impossible but are there any schemes that allow 2 different keys to decrypt to two different messages for deniability? Perhaps a key containing a seed number to adjust the algorithm?
For me, it's a question of false confidence.

When you have no numbers, you have high confidence that you have low information.

When you have some numbers that are reported as though they are very granular and accurate, you have extreme confidence that you have high information.

The latter, in my view, is a more precarious position from which to make decisions.
> I’m not clear what you mean by limiting "not only particular document but database".

I’ve limited document size to 10mb and ratelimited updates to 10 per second. Client starts to update document with random data 10 requests per second. As far as I understand couch stores all versions at least some time. This means that this one client could fill space on my server 100mb/s. There is no such issues with postgress, and no one allow clients execute raw queries on database without any application server. Document only 10mb but database is huge.

> What kind of "expensive" query are you envisioning?

I have never used couch, so I don’t know what could be expensive. May be some lookup without index or something like this.

Sorry for my ignorance, is it true that if I limit couch only to replication it will not be any not indexed lookups?

Looks like implement secure system with couch is very hard but I can’t find any best practices, mostly only authentication and basic validation.
Pretty much sums it up right there. done.
>Estimated car cost as a predictor of driver yielding behaviors for pedestrians

Why not:

Still improve-able but “driver yielding behaviors” is too mafan.

Interesting work, But to be nit picky, the title is typical academese. I.e less readable than it needs to be even after taking the higher need of precise and accurate language.

Maybe:

Correlation of a driver yielding to a pedestrian with the vehicle price?
In my case it seemed they had a hard time accepting that a 22 year old knew more than they did about a subject.

...But any real Capitalist would then see the opportunity to stop investing in real estate, leverage his real estate as collateral, and build more houses. Thereby increasing supply, and creating even more wealth by offering his new houses to the other players.

Of course this would pressure the house hoarder into building hotels... Except each other player gets a set of dice, and on rolling anything higher than a 4, his hotel construction is thwarted by decree of the community's zoning board. UNLESS he's making deals under the table, increasing number he has to roll under to get approval from the zoning board.

And so on, and so forth.
Yea this I believe to be true as well. A few people I’ve matched with on tinder repeatedly showed up on PYMK soon after. Leading up to a date would only make sense that they would search by name on Facebook. More likely that than the information between the services

100% agreed - would add indie.vc to this list.
I was surprised that they didn't implement a "cancel" button too. Probably a strategy to discourage people from cancelling. I've managed to cancel using a chat though and it wasn't that bad.
Companies do experiment with this sometimes as part of the budget-making process, as well as internal competition. I haven't heard of any big wins though.

It seems better to take internal functions and open them up to outside customers, as the cloud computing companies do.
How is Submotion doing btw?
It doesn’t have to be a unicorn. Maybe it’s incumbent on the rational participants in this community to figure out a way to do what you’re describing. New business models can be even more valuable inventions than new technologies. Perhaps VC has run its course for business and engineering ICs who don’t have preexisting wealth.
That's bad, but the worst part to me is the total confluence of both the legitimacy and wellbeing he makes with his own product.

'Using Facebook Is A Kind Of Wealth' is what he says basically.

'The whole world benefits so much when they use my product'

This is Trumpian level of delusion.

'It's important that every American gets a chance to stay at home of my resorts. They're so nice! So I'm going to offer a government-backed tax rebate so that everyone can come and stay.

It is possible this hasn’t happened. The final step of implanting an embryo in a human still involves a lot of trial and error. In IVF it is basically fired into the uterus and fingers are crossed. There us quite a high threshold for getting an embryo to implant in humans compared to animals.

Also, I think it would be quite difficult to eventually explain to your kid that you cloned them.
That was like the old-time Westerns. The 'goodies' wore white hats, and the 'baddies' wore black hats.

What happens if I don't fill out my census form? (2019)
What kind of document are you looking for here? There is [1], but yeah, that covers access controls. As do the MongoDB [2] and Postgres [3] documents.

I feel like your thinking about Couch as exposing your entire PostgreSQL DB to the internet, whereas with couch, a common model is to have a single database per user. In the Postgres model, providing the end user with any direct access is a nightmare, because every other users data is in there and I have to keep other users from viewing/modifying it. In Couch, you give them access to their database and only their database, that's how you isolate users.

The device, which is housed in a chip smaller than a grain of rice, enables Internet of Things (IoT) devices to communicate with existing Wi-Fi networks using 5,000 times less power than today’s Wi-Fi radios. It consumes just 28 microwatts of power. And it does so while transmitting data at a rate of 2 megabits per second (a connection fast enough to stream music and most YouTube videos) over a range of up to 21 meters.

Prototypical inheritance is not something I really understand in too much detail (and maybe I was late to the game, since I've never really felt I missed anything). Now js has 'classes' which I think are sugar over proto, can't remember.

You can think of a prototype as 'cloning' an object (but not quite), distinct from classes in OOP, which are typically created afresh, i.e. no entanglement occurs between instance 1 and 2 of the same class (unless of course explicitly specified in a constructor). If I have `var a = {one: 1, two: 2}`, I can use that as a 'live template' to stamp out other 'instances' that prototypically inherit from that ancestor. Any attribute lookups that are not specified directly on an object created with a prototype recursively look up the prototype ancestry chain until it is found. So if c -> b -> a (where a -> b means a prototypically inherits from b), looking up a property on c will try to look for the property on c first, failing that b, then a. If nothing is found, `undefined` is returned.

Let's open our inspector and have a play:
```
var a = {one: 1, two: 2};
var b = Object.create(a); // create b, based on prototype a
var c = Object.create(b);

console.log(c.one) // 1, how, when this wasn't even defined! We looked up the p. chain until we found it

b.three = 3;

console.log(a.three) // undefined, a's only prototype is Object
console.log(c.three) // 3, wow, c knew about something that happened to b! This is different from OOP. 'instances' share data defined at runtime.

```

If you're 20 something, you have around 60 years of life left meaning that 2 months is about .3% of your remaining life. The probability, likewise, of dying of coronavirus if you get coronavirus is on the order of .1%, it seems. Spending 2 months of your life trying to not get the coronavirus seems like throwing the baby out with the bath water, to me.
I love finding comments like this where I understand very little. (I am not being sarcastic). Excellent for learning.
I'm going to guess, based on what I know about diversity and inclusion.

It's the fact that people are called retards, autists, and homophobic slurs. To some it's about "having thick skin". To others it's about normalizing "hate speech".

It really depends on what your life experience is to determine which camp you fall in. If you've been on the receiving end of hate speech or discrimination, you tend to be in the second camp. If you've lived a relatively privileged life in terms of 'fitting in' to the world around you, you tend to think people just need to grow thicker skin.

And this disagreement between those two groups sums up like 95% of all social media posts right now.
Since you made me wonder:

> corona: "crown" (from latin corōna, meaning "crown")

> virus: "poisonous secretion" (from latin vīrus, meaning "venom" or "poisonous secretion")

> Coronavirus, the virus responsible for 30% of common colds, as well as SARS, has the appearance of a crown (corona) under electron microscopy, due to the spike proteins that coat the viral surface. Viruses, being so small, might have been thought of before they were discovered, to be poisonous secretions (virus) of unknown origin, hence their name.
