I don't see the problem with the actual flatness here, but that they removed a lot of details, the black ring, the grey cross in the Bavarian flag, and the grey circle encompassing that.

IMHO, they should've just removed the "specularity", making it flat, but preserving the details.

They went for both minimal and flat, but just flat would've been fine.

EDIT: I mean, honestly, it looks like a Bavarian-colored host[0] glued onto the hood. May or may not be a coincidence, considering Bavaria is very traditional and Roman Catholic. (Source: Am German, live in Germany, spent 8 years in BY, two of which in Munich.)

It's pretty simple, Alphabet/Google make it far too easy for mistaken, false or frivolous claims. It's obvious why, usually the claimant has the heavy bags of money to use as a bludgeon, but it's not right.
I would expect some sort of delivery is required.

I wouldnt want to be expected to make a full delivery in usual time, until the remote operation became familiar and the local work environment was resolved.

some people may actually be able to lease out a small office space, rather than work from home, but those with family especially with kids may be challenged.
Subordination is extremely weird, because one could argue this is also the basis of a customer / supplyer relationship. « Customer is the king » as they say. Once you’ve agreed in a deal, then your customer will give you « orders » ( in compliance with your contract, of course), and make decision to stop the deal if the contract allows him to, and he’s not satisfied.
Funny that of all the "This X does not exist" sites, this one only gives relatively small, low-res pictures. Because I'd totally print out some of that stuff and hang it up!
Can't believe I forgot Spongebob! That's a pretty good example, actually.
You're not protecting the worker. You're taking away their freedom and choice and turning them into a different kind of worker.

Perhaps if you speak to some drivers, you'll find the overwhelming response that shows they want flexibility, not another full-time job.

These kind of laws do not take a majority to pass, and France had violent protests and riots by taxi drivers against ride-sharing with plenty of political infighting. The only votes that matter are Uber drivers, and you would find a very different conclusion if you only asked them.
While you're at it, check and double check your port forwarding settings. I got bit by this recently.

My owned router had the right ports opened, but the AT&T bridged router did not. Be sure you open ports on both sets of routers, otherwise your owned router will never have a chance to allow the traffic in the first place.

Isn’t a cruise ship a special case because it’s all self contained and there is almost no way to avoid contact with other infected people?

Unless they had access to disposable Kevlar jumpsuits, masks, gloves and disinfectant, they’d be hard pressed to slow its spread in cramped conditions.
Mandatory attendance / truancy laws for 10+ year olds are terrible and hopefully will one day be removed if in the name of preventing mass infections. Make middle school and high school mostly on the web with optional social interaction... productivity will go up, diseases and bullying will go down.
> I've mostly seen long-running branches where the conflicting code was moved/taken care of still having rebase conflicts because git is running the commits one by one, and is conflicting with the old commits (before they were fixed), requiring me to fix them yet again.

is this solved by enabling git-rerere ?

Yup and these are stating the opposite, as well since months but based on much more unreliable assumptions and data.

The most surprising development on this front has been Firefox's limiting user's ability to install addons that have not been blessed by them. I understand that if you run an app store, you get to review code and refuse to distribute apps/addons that don't meet your standards.

The surprising thing is that Firefox does not let you install a non-blessed addon, even if you are downloading it from the developer's website (i.e., not from Mozilla). They don't give you a warning about installing software from un-vetted sources — they straight up don't let you install. I understand this is the case even if you're running the developer version of Firefox, which is obviously not meant for mainstream users.

AFAIK, the only way to install a Firefox addon that has not been blessed is to get your hands on the XPI and install it in debug mode, which means that it automatically uninstalls itself every time you restart your browser.

I would have expected MS Edge, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari to have done something like this before Mozilla Firefox. What happened to the open web?
Ease-of-use, and iPhones don't have multi-use.
We implemented Gitflow almost exactly how it was described in the original blog post a while ago. It was simple and we built continuous deployment around it and it posed 0 challenges in that department. It was much harder to change culture and build a process and systems to actually do the continuous deployment than Gitflow ever caused. I disagree with about everything in this article.
A shack in Nigeria would cost more if there was more demand and the same supply for shacks in Nigeria. Or it would cost more if the value of money decreased.

My idea of a bigger pie, is not debasing the value of our currency. I think you're assuming that if we "made more money" Venezuela-style that the value of money would be less / things would be more expensive. I'm not saying we should "make more money". I'm saying we should "make progress".

Progress is REAL growth. We measure GDP growth in REAL terms. An inflated pie would not be a bigger pie. A pie that's bigger in REAL terms would be a bigger pie.
This paper has more information: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6909e1-H.pdf

TLDR: "Since February 28, an increasing number of newly diagnosed confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases have been in patients with neither a relevant travel history nor clear epidemiologic links to other confirmed COVID-19 patients. However, despite intensive follow-up, no sustained person-to-person transmission of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 was observed in the United States among the close contacts of the first 10 persons with diagnosed travel-related COVID-19."

They tracked the first 10 people in the US with travel-related confirmed COVID-19, and followed up with 445 people who had close contact with them.

Over 14 days, 54 of those 445 people developed new or worsening symptoms and were tested for COVID-19.

Of the 54 people, only 2 tested positive for COVID-19. Both were household members of originally infected people.

"Both persons with confirmed secondary transmission had close contact with the respective source patient before COVID-19 was confirmed and were isolated from the source patient after the patient’s COVID-19 diagnosis."

"No other close contacts who were tested for SARS-CoV-2 had a positive test, including the five household members who were continuously exposed during the period of isolation of their household member with confirmed COVID-19. An additional 146 persons exposed to the two patients with secondary COVID-19 transmission underwent 14 days of active monitoring. Among these, 18 (12%) developed symptoms compatible with COVID-19 and were considered PUIs. All tested negative, and no further symptomatic COVID-19 cases (representing tertiary transmission) have been identified."
Not true with Uber. It depends on the jurisdiction/market. The way it works in California is not how it works country- or worldwide.
There is nothing that prevents Uber from providing flexibility. The court has not ruled that Uber contracts were illegal, but that they were employment contracts (obviously, with the flexible hours Uber is known for) rather than (Uber) company to (the driver's) company business contracts.

I reckon you are happy that you didn't work in the mines when you were 9 years of age? Or am I completely wrong? Oh wait, naturally you would have been able to decide for your own best.
I've been wondering for years why nobody mentions this. I saw them on the road in Sunnyvale in 2018. Maybe people assume they are just regular trucks used to transport Waymo cars or something.
IIRC, the crew was largely responsible for spreading the virus.

Not that I'm faulting them. They simply were neither trained nor equipped to do a specialized job that was essentially forced on them - operating a quarantine facility.

Wow I think the only time I've ever had a pool give me a swim test was for Boy Scouts summer camp where it's 75 yards front stroke 25 yards backstroke and then float. Then you get a little tag you place on a board and you always have a swim partner with periodic checks where everyone gets out finds their partner and they count pairs to ensure no one's missing or without a partner.
Why would one want lots of little GKE clusters, anyway? Google itself doesn't part up its clusters this way, AFAIK. I don't want a cluster of underutilized instances per application tier per project; I want a private Borg to run my instances on—a way to achieve the economies-of-scale of pod packing, with merely OS-policy-level isolation between my workloads, because they're all my workloads anyway.

(Or, really, I'd rather just run my workloads directly on some scale-free multitenant k8s cluster that resembled Borg itself—giving me something resembling a PaaS, but with my own custom resource controllers running in it. Y'know, the k8s equivalent to BigTable.)
Tropical Forests Are Reaching Their Carbon Dioxide Limit
Thank you for the correction and the "correction". When I Google, the top 3 results all show that:

1. 60% is too high for current turbines; 45% is about what recently installed turbines do.
2. Only old (and outmoded) turbines are anything like 25%.
3. The newest 12MW turbines should achieve 55-60%, as Hywind did for the (windy) winter months. Since future deployments are the topic here, that's the relevant number. Call it 55%, and say I was exaggerating by 10%.

I'm glad that ~10GW of nuclear is coming online, albeit at high LCOE. We don't know how to accelerate deployment. We do know how to accelerate the wind deployment that is already at higher volume. The small-modern nuclear camp is hoping to reach 10GW a year a decade from now at higher-than-wind LCOE. And I hope they succeed! But that is not a reason to talk down the wind and solar-plus storage wave happening right now.

Nuclear electricity is good. I wish we had a lot more of it. Nuclear advocates spend way too much time bashing variable renewables, including with trivially-Googleable misinformation such as your "25%", and not enough tackling the horrible political economy of nuclear. Safe micro-nuclear plants are an excellent start on the "economy" side of "political economy." Now y'all need to build a political coalition—and pro-variable-renewable peeps such as myself must be part of your core coalition if you are going to get anywhere. So start treating us as allies.
Here is an exhaustive (~99.5%) list of the git commands I use:

git init
git clone
git clone --recursive
git remote add
git checkout
git branch
git merge --no-ff
git add
git add -p
git rm
git reset
git commit [-a] [-m]
git commit -p
git commit --amend
git submodule add
git push
git push -u
git pull
git log
git show
git status
git update-index --assume-unchanged (aliased to ignore)
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged (aliased to unignore)

The 1 in 200 is probably a git rebase -i.

If we're doing something other than git I'll be happy with those. Specifically add/commit -p are important to me.
Given that there are probably very few places that are worse for a disease outbreak than a cruise ship where everyone eats and drinks all day and touches everything and uses the same toilets I'll actually take the 20% as an encouraging number.
Huh. I generally think social media is a positive thing in my life, and often wonder why people get this FOMO/anxiety thing, but the few times I've noticed folks broadcasting their "perfect" lives, it's those using stories. And, again, it's not helped by the lack of human response. You don't get someone saying "man, that looks perfect!" followed by the OP saying "well actually, all these things went wrong and it was a disaster, but i got this one shot when everything came together" .. without that human interaction it's just a broadcast-only image, which seems to be meant for broadcasting perfection.

That may, however, just be a matter of the KINDS of people in my life who use stories, though. Selection bias.
It might, if it turns out there's an opportunity for a reset.
The bit that sucks, if you are a legitimate contractor, is that rather than clients determining on a case by case basis whether or not a contract falls under IR35, they're short circuiting the whole thing by assuming every contract falls under IR35.

However I suspect this is because _most_ of their contractors are actually just disguised employees, and I say this as a contractor myself. However the legitimate contractors are also getting hit by the backlash now that the clients are on the hook for penalties.

Personally, I'm going to keep contracting past April as I generally only work with small businesses anyway and they can see quite clearly that my contract does not fall within IR35. If however they had 100 contractors instead of say, 1-2, it's much harder to make that determination.
Ahh, wonderful. You're taking away the only thing that made me pick GCP and GKE over AWS and EKS?

AWS used to charge me for the master node, and it was more than the worker nodes cost. So the logic reaction to AWS lowering that cost to a flat $.10 an hour was for Google to raise their own price point to that??????

As a GCP customer, I've got one simple question. Why exactly should I continue to use GKE?
Doing the migration might take a few late evenings; deploying all our apps and Helm charts to a new cluster takes just a few commands. Learning what needs to be migrated, deciding on how the configuration should look on the destination end of it, and designing a detailed plan and checklist for the whole process is the big task. Adding the onboarding of someone who's never seen the inside of your company and you're talking about a longer, more disruptive process. Tech debt isn't a factor here.
>I don't know what I would have done had they continued to dig in their heels.

My wife's a choral composer and runs into similar nonsense with almost every video she posts to YouTube. There was one piece she posted that got taken down hard with a claim by Sony Classical within minutes, citing the applause - I think the video might have been part of a submission for a grant application or something to that effect, and if it was offline by the deadline, she was S.O.L.

Fortunately, her extended network is such that after some frantic tweeting from her verified account, the claim was reversed in under 48 hours. IIRC, both the Sony Classical twitter account and the composer of the work that the video was mistakenly flagged as tweeted back the equivalent of "We're not sure why this is happening, sorry!"

(I may be conflating two stories here, because there are so. many. But it doesn't lessen the absurdity of the situation, particularly for folks in the classical world)
The way ship HVAC systems are designed, it helps limit costs while simultaneously increasing infections from anything that's airborne.

In regard to Diamond Princess though, there were no safety protocols that were followed, so we don't know if it was the ship or the failure to follow pathogen related protocols.
No :/ I had it enabled, which is why I'm surprised it happened. Unfortunately it was long ago that I don't remember details, but I've had my "merges are much easier" opinion reinforced by git multiple times.

They are, but it's a habit gained from forums with a broader audience, like Reddit, where a single mistake or unacceptable association can have your voice removed from the discussion.
I don't share your optimism. The virus has been able to successfully evade e.g. testing people's temperatures in airports. It doesn't really matter if there are asymtomatic carriers or not, it doesn't matter whether people eventually get a high fever. What matters is whether people with non-specific/mild symptoms (a dry cough) can pass on the infection. And the answer is emphatically yes.
To be fair, doesn't China have a head-start in recovery rates?

Who owns the copyright to something created like this?
Just a reminder that this is coming from an organization that

1. Receives part of it's funding from China

2. Has been using China's clearly manufactured numbers since day 1

3. Has yet to officially call this a pandemic though it has met the criteria for weeks ($425MM in pandemic bonds would default) [0]

4. Is led by a man (the very director being quoted) who was accused by the NYT of covering up no less than 3 cholera epidemics in his home country of Ethiopia. [1]

So you're telling me China shut down it's entire economy [2] and put 700MM people under lockdown and/or travel restrictions because of something about as dangerous as the common flu? Note that the Chinese economy is still not back online - don't believe me? Check real time pollution maps for yourself. The air is still cleaner than it has been in decades.

The WHO and CDC are lying to you. You can verify all of this for yourself.

Hell, 8% of Iranian parliament members are infected. Look at the chaos gripping Iran, Italy, and SK. This is not the flu and I'm astounded that not only are official organizations misleading the public to this degree, but people are buying it en masse.

Finally, after a mass petition, a number of journals released all 2019ncov literature from paywall. You can find estimates for mortality and R0 from many sources, and I don't think I've seen a single one below 2. The Spanish Flu of 1918 was at 2. Of course take these with a grain of salt as they may be oversampling severe cases, but they all point to the same grave conclusions, and you can read them yourself. Do not rely on these agencies to digest this information for you when you have unprecedented access to the same information.

The WHO is the fraud organization who cares more about keeping their Chinese masters happy than health and safety, right? Cool.
Even if COVID-19 fatality rate is _lower_ than the regular flu, if it infects people faster to the point where those very few severe cases cannot get the help they need because of health services being overwhelmed then it will potentially be resulting in a lot more deaths than the flu.
I don't know if skewed over imprecise. There's all of the ancillary industries that support OTR trucking affected as well - that'll bring the total numbers back up.
They may be free to do it under local law, but they would not be doing it as an Uber driver, they would be doing so as a taxi driver.

There is no ability to use the Uber platform for hailed or other ad-hoc rides, they must be ordered through the platform and all payments must go through Uber.

Uber provides the commercial insurance to drivers they need when carrying passengers, for example (pretty sure they do this in all areas they operate, but I'll wait with bated breath to be told they don't in Bulgaria). If a taxi driver who also worked for Uber picked up a hailed ride it would not cover them.
This strikes me as an attribution problem e.g. Within large companies business units are treated as standalone financial entities so you are either making money or a cost center. I think what could be happening here is that the kubernetes group is generating what look like un-paid-for costs, instead of being back-credited for ALL of the compute they are selling via the worker VMs. I would argue that people come to GCP for GKE which means it should be seen as a revenue generator, in that light it makes sense to hold the loss leader of the control plane open and 'free' to grow GKE as quickly as possible. This decision is bad for business.
TFA addresses this:

> Evidence from China is that only 1% of reported cases do not have symptoms, and most of those cases develop symptoms within 2 days.

They came up with this number by testing people who didn't have symptoms but were in some contact with someone who had the virus. The big question is how much the lockdown affected this, but there doesn't appear to be large swaths of asymptomatic people.
PH: Netlify
You should be compensated for that. Sounds illegal, at least in Europe.
You are all interpreting this wrong. In a population with no preexisting immunity to either virus, flu would spread faster than COVID.

But there is widespread immunity to flu (from both vaccines and exposure). There is ZERO immunity to COVID.

So IN PRACTICE, this new disease spreads MUCH faster than flu.
Managing clusters in terraform is not enough to "treat clusters like cattle". Changing a cluster from a zonal cluster to a regional cluster in the terraform configuration will, upon a terraform apply, first destroy the cluster then re-create the cluster. All workloads will be lost.

I'm sure there are tools out there to help with cluster migrations, but it is far from trivial.

Arizona also allows people under 30 to drive, and every age group under 30 has a much higher accident rate than 80+. People under the age of 18 have quadruple the accident rate of people aged 80. The reason people incorrectly believe that octogenarians are bad drivers is they have a tendency to die in even minor accidents.
But 4 other competitors do. Let's not get stuck with semantics.
Fair use is essentially a codification of the common law principle that "some copies no one cares about." The problem isn't that it's not clear enough; the problem is that fair use is contextual and automation of contextual discovery is not really possible.
