Steve Wozniak Says He Might Be US Coronavirus 'Patient Zero'
The market is pricing in an additional rate cut at that meeting
Regarding getting some money back from Robinhood, here's an interesting comment I found at Reddit:

> To those of you who deposited funds to Robinhood and are now down your deposit or more, these are technically ACH transfers, and if you genuinely believe Robinhood defrauded you, or otherwise failed to provide service as understood, you can issue an ACH chargeback through your bank’s web portal or by phone for any funds deposited in the last 60 days.

> RH may try to call you into arbitration, but more likely they’ll just ban you from the platform. It’s not a terrible idea if you plan on leaving the platform anyway. Just make sure you can substantiate your losses or they might have a fraud case.

> [If RH dings your credit], you‘re able to dispute with the credit reporting agencies or, if the agencies won’t delete, hire a debt lawyer to resolve. I doubt they would even if able. Any representation they have is likely about to be drowning in FINRA and arbitration prep, some people keep obscene amounts of money on their platform. They also likely can’t furnish any signed documentation of credit pending payment unless you signed up for margin trading.

> If the funds haven’t been deducted from your bank account or are in a pending state, you may also be able to just issue a stop payment. Again, anyone who tries this should ensure that they can substantiate losses related to the payment they stop or chargeback.
Would you perhaps share how you did it with an example? I really like the concept of Huginn, but haven't had the inclination to play with it further myself; setting something up for my own sources' summaries would be a good way to start, I guess.
devd is C++, and it is not alone. Unfortunately, the dynamically-linkable C++ runtime library is in the wrong place, and not in the same place as the C runtime library, so things like devd have to be statically linked.

But the clang switch was not motivated by its C++ error messages, to my knowledge.
What about sporting events? 20k people gathering every night in cities all around the country. Are the NBA, NHL, NCAA just going to cancel playoffs? Or play in front of empty stadiums?
I would like this taxation scheme, but that's because it privileges trashing all your assets to the maximum extent you can tolerate. So sure, you can buy my house for 50k. But I've removed all the labels from the circuit box, run spurious wires everywhere, and added some very hazardous electrical traps that will be hell to remove without my notes (which I have conveniently misplaced). I found some lead paint in the shed and just slathered it in every room that would make a good nursery. This house used to have a paved driveway but I don't mind if my car gets dirty so I tore it out. I'm an avid gardener, but I've also down the yard with poisonous flora and whatever else I feel will be hard to remove.

This example is a little contrived, but one could do something similar by just aggressively neglecting one's property.

X definitely has screen tearing, otherwise we wouldn't have the Present extension.

Core Xlib is entirely ignorant of vsync or anything relating to completed frames. It's an immediate mode rendering model in that everything you draw just gets thrown on-screen by the display server whenever.

Compositors were then bolted on w/redirect and damage extensions and basically randomly snapshot the client window contents before compositing a desktop frame, within that snapshot you can easily have tearing of half-drawn updates.

Further extensions and hacks have tried to fix this like Present and frame clocks from the gtk/gnome folks, but it's all opt-in by X clients and non-uniformly supported by compositing WMs or not at all in classical non-compositing WMs where the X server just draws things directly on-screen as the protocol requests arrive from clients.
My inbox slowly became my information hub as well, and I always defaulted to it in the end. That's part of the reason Mailbrew was born.

Can you elaborate? Twitter doesn't allow paid political advertising and Facebook has a clear disclaimer at the top of every such ad.

Part of the problem here is that restaurants in America are extremely expensive. It's cheaper to eat out in other industrialized nations in my experience. Worse, they try to hide the prices from you by not including tax in the advertised price, and also expecting a "tip" for the service because they don't pay their servers.
Which should have happened along time ago in the current economy but haven’t, you can’t cut rates in bad times if you don’t raise them enough in good.
I don't know, Italy is doing pretty poorly with 79 dead on 160 recovered (2502 total cases). Only the numbers in China really seem to be dropping, and I wonder how that will hold up when people get back to work.

This is not going to be the end of the world as we know it but I think it will take quite some more time before it's behind us.

A race to the bottom seems like it is a pretty good thing in this case.

People are reasonably well-informed of the difference between the different levels of seating. To pretend otherwise is to claim ignorance of how many up-sell screens every airline tries to push in front of you during ticket purchase. Seating information is built-in to the ticket purchase process, and there are also third-party websites available just for the purpose of telling you about seating.

"Premium economy" tickets still cost less than the cheapest tickets did in the past.

Furthermore I kind of wonder if anybody bringing up this point has ever in their life seen or heard of a malicious X11 client ...

I know this is not how security works (a theoretical hole is often as bad as a practical one) but it's a bit like saying you should have antivirus software, to which I might say: where are the viruses?

They don’t really enter into the calculus for running or not running these events

I would beg to differ as many "official" SXSW events rely on local venues to host them, Austin Texas is not a large city, geographically. It's just very dense. There is not a surplus of concert and event space outside of Auditorium Shores and the Long Center for keynotes and expos.

Otherwise, the festival HEAVILY relies on local establishments and venues in order to even exist; especially for SXSW Music. Again, speaking from direct experience having worked as a crew lead at sxsw for 12 years, local venues are critical to the success of this festival. And that's where many of these people work. Their availability and their health absolutely factors in, or at least it should.

The workforce behind this festival extends from stage and production crews to bartenders and hosts to unpaid volunteers who live in Austin and simply want to be a part of the festivities (since volunteering qualifies you for free access to certain events, depending on your role) and whose sole job is interacting with festival goers providing direction or interacting directly with people, handling brochures, exchanging money at registers or checking badges.

Downplaying the impact to the local community and the local workers who make the festival happen behind the scenes isn't fair.
Well, what if ecosystem is changing due to GW from forests to veld?

How fire management could help if forest fires are main tool to move from forest to veld - forest will burn and replaced by bushes and grass
What a truly horrible human being to do that to his fellow men.
For bathrooms that use toilet paper, I've wondered if the hand-washing station should be located within easy reach of the toilet.

Then people could wash their hands immediately after wiping, instead of first having to touch other objects like pants, belts, and in public restrooms, jackets, backpacks, and stall latches.
He did not.

However his rhetorical style is to put emotionally laden words in close conjunction and then repeat them over and over again. People therefore walk away with an emotional message that does not necessarily logically follow from any facts that they were given.

At an emotional level, he is associating COVID-19, Democrats and hoax. With the message that everything that Democrats say is a hoax, including what they say about COVID-19.
> The argument is that it cannot have long-term real effects because if it did we would all be incredibly rich, since it costs nothing to increase the money supply by whatever amount.

Increasing the money supply is effectively a transfer of wealth from people who own/lend currency to people who owe/borrow it. It doesn't come without cost. It's effectively taxing one group and giving the money to another.

As for stimulating the economy, it works as long as the borrowers are making better use of the money than the lenders would have. In a time when you may need to e.g. build new factories somewhere else because existing ones are unavailable, that becomes more true than it was the day before, because the people who want to build new factories need money to do it and now that money is cheaper to get.

What it does is increase borrowing. All borrowing is really borrowing from the future, because at some point the money has to paid back. (Or have interest paid on it forever, which is effectively the same thing.) So what you get now you have to give back later, but that may be a beneficial transaction if you need it more now when some disruption is occurring than you would years from now after things have calmed down.
The article title is rather more informative

Helping businesses and schools stay connected in response to Coronavirus
Eleven unquestioned assumptions of business – and why they’re wrong
Not to get off topic, but the building code reforms are necessary in order to help control the ridiculous rises in housing prices and rents here. We have the same problem as California, where neighborhood associations want to freeze things as they were 50 years ago, and use restrictive zoning and deed restrictions to prevent building multi-family housing (duplexes/fourplexes/apartments).

The city government is plenty responsive to its citizens, ~55% of whom are renters, not homeowners, and many of whom are young people who can no longer afford to buy in the city. The already-haves in legacy neighborhoods, who file most of the protests and speak in front of the City Council the most, are mad that they are being given equal consideration rather than special consideration as they have gotten in the past.
If you're taking notes for a class/lecture. Only take notes for things that are:

1. Interesting/non-intuitive

2. Things you'd like to dive into further later

Don't waste time taking notes on things that you already know, are common sense or otherwise derivable. Do not try to be comprehensive or worry about being too organized, it is just excess overhead.

Handwrite whenever possible. The investment in doing so increases the chances of following up afterwards.

If you're taking notes for a meeting, be sure to catalog the chain of thought and relevant ideas. Let people follow up with links etc.

Lastly, its worth assessing why you even want to take good notes? If you're unable to pay attention during lecture but still want to get the information, perhaps its worth doing a lesson pre-view and re-view instead of focusing too much on the actual lecture.
Not all networks are private. Also, many IPv6 addresses contain the MAC address which would effectively deanonymize you over the internet.

I've worked as a canvasser, and organized door-to-door campaigns. One of the key CA products was an app for canvassers, telling them about each home on their route. So they knew which homes to ignore, and what message to deliver for the ones worth hitting. And that both saved time, and arguably increased effectiveness.

The Piece Table – The Unsung Hero of Your Text Editor
We are in a bind here. If you ship GPLv2 software on a locked down device then nobody downstream has the professional opportunity to contribute, because they simply can't get any of their changes onto the device. The reason to rectify this is not "to ship GPLv3 software" the reason is because otherwise customers don't have control over their own devices.

The developers who relicensed to GPLv3 don't care that some companies won't contribute. From their perspective, any of those contributions would be unusable to them. I feel a similar way with my open source projects -- why would I as an outsider maintain code that nobody outside of your company will ever have any possible way to test in a real production scenario? It's a waste of my time. Yes I might be missing out on minor bug-fixes but I don't really care about that. Like you said, feature development is more important.

As far as firmware-updating goes, to be in compliance the user just needs to have some way to get access to the keys. You don't need to make separate keys, it can be the same method that you use.

Reducing per unit energy consumption (aka increasing energy efficiency) is not only very different from reducing global energy consumption, but it can often lead to an increase in global energy consumption. This is called Jevons paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox and is quite an interesting topic.
Sure, but it's also a matter of when. If you can delay it for a few decades, that's going to be enough for a lot of people to retire.

The US could just cut interest rates whenever the stock market goes down. There's no real limit to how low they can go, and as long as the investors understand that the Fed is backstopping them they'll contribute in pumping it up.
Sure, no argument there, although you’re being a bit over picky about semantics (even more than I was!). But my point stands that this could be fixed with a single paragraph of text.
The US does have a huge poverty problem, but that's not the whole story. There's tons of middle-class people living paycheck-to-paycheck because they just have to drive a BMW or have some giant house they don't need, or eat out all the time and get two glasses of wine with each dinner. Yeah, this doesn't describe the poor people getting by on minimum wage, but there's countless $50-100k people who this describes perfectly.
Why stop at bitcoin if we could destroy Internet? People could do much more instead of watching cat videos or porn.
Not yet but more and more people asking about it.
I was actually pointing out the contradiction between your supposed standard and your behavior. But fair enough, it was phrased as a question. Which, it turns out, you did not actually answer, so if you were trying to clarify things I don't think you succeeded.
That isn't true. At no point did I say or even imply laws weren't required. In fact, I immediately agreed with you!

Laws and ethical frameworks are synergistic in well-functioning systems.
Spot on. Any doubters can go check out GE stock. After several rounds of mining, there is nothing left in the poor rock.

PS You know things are really bad when the stock chart starts to go to log price scale because it has gone down so much!
Did you notice I said "web videos"? I'm talking about web browsers. I'm aware that mpv and vlc and others can use video acceleration okay, but they don't have complicated browser UI problems to solve.
This headline is misleading clickbait. Koch Industries owns a company that's developing software that could reduce AC induction motor energy consumption by 1/3. They haven't actually done it yet.

If you consider the phone usable, sure... But the number one reason to buy a new phone over an old one is because it is slow.
It'd be awesome if there was a decentralized marketplace of browser extensions that Google/Mozilla have censored or messed with. Developers can sign the git revision/build with their keybase gpg key for authenticity. Users would have to install them manually though.
Not sure if it's the case in the link above and am too busy to look into it right now, but stock charts are almost always reflective of all split activity. So comparing the price at two points is apples:apples.

Edit:

Though companies like GE pay substantial dividends so what price charts are missing are the billions of dollars paid out to shareholders over time.
We are wired to stay away from things we don't quite understand yet.

> When we look around the animal kingdom, we are bombarded with examples of how other animals are born knowing how to walk, or even weave spider webs.

It frequently amazes me that lower animals manage to get laid.

As for spiders though, these little criters should not be underestimated. On the one hand, one should not read too much inteligence into the application of severely limited options. On the other hand, learning from limited rules has well been proven feasable, I think. Either way, that's not exactly "born with" an ability, rather reflexes and capacity. What amounts to instinct.
I agree with that. This is a pandemic, no benevolence, no one's fault, everyone will be hurt in different ways. There are costs to prepare an event, the venue will want to be paid even if the organizer cancels and so on. Force majeure as it is called in insurance lingo. A full refund is not realistic.

Propaganda is so old news. Brexit and MAGA today are touching the same strings inside people's souls that fascism and nazism did a hundred years ago. Evolution of media from newspapers and radio to TV and Internet just made propaganda more taylored.

I have similar tendencies. What changed for me was using journaling to understand and cope with my emotions during a very difficult time in life. By writing out my thoughts they were more complete and I could better asses them so it helped calm racing thoughts and patterns of rumination.

Ive come to enjoy the process materializing my thoughts into something concrete, as a thought isn't really fully formed until you write, speak, or type ot. I continue the practice as part of my morning routine and when I read at night.

I don't review what I've written or share it or have any plans to make a blog or something. I just use journaling to enjoyably process my thoughts.
Even a non-surgical or home-made mask is better than no mask at all.

Coronavirus: Will crypto conferences survive? What about crypto media?
At some point one just has to step back and question how necessary all of this complexity is. This "best of both worlds" hybrid approach adds so many hidden moving parts. I also don't really see why it's needed; the twin paradigms of "lightweight web page" and "heavyweight web app" really seem like they neatly cover the vast majority of cases.
I wonder if economic indicators will temporary blip up because of stockpiling. I recently bought $1000 of food and supplies and books and toys for my kids if they get stuck indoors which would have normally taken me six months to buy.
This has absolutely not been my experience, at least for well designed cloud infrastructure. High availability doesn't have to be complex or hard to understand. In most cases, automatic failovers and restarts on well designed architecture fix problems with zero end-user impact. It happens so seamlessly that my standard procedure these days is to fail over infrastructure if I want to restart it.
