I think we need to start thinking about scammers as violent criminals. Victims of scammers do feel extremely violated after the fact. They loose not only valuables, but also their dignity and their sense of security. Scamming is indeed a violent crime that causes significant harm to the victim.

I also get the sense that there is still a lot of victim blaming when it comes to scamming. This also has to change. Victims of scams have not done anything wrong. The criminals that scam other people are of full blame for their crimes, and they need to be brought to justice for their violent behaviour.

The problem I am having is that there is wildly contradictory information coming out. Some numbers that make it sound only a little bit more dangerous than flu, and then something like this that says 10% of positive cases need respirators.

I think until we can be very sure that is not true, we should take this much more seriously. Seems like they are not interested in testing people in the US if they can find any excuse. I hope the people making that decision will review this information.
Not just the internet. Consider differing definitions of "freedom" in politics.
That's because they were based on the original hardware for linear video editing, which had a metric shitload of buttons and knobs you'd have to know. I could see using a minimal CLI for something like this, but it wouldn't be useful for those guys who learned on linear equipment then had to switch to the nonlinear equipment, which already had a steep learning curve since they were used to a more linear process. I don't know why the author of the article picked Premiere as an example of a "bad UI", because it is pretty close to perfect for that particular time in video editing.

Source: I am experienced in several nonlinear and linear video editing technologies from the 90's and early 2000's, since my father was in the videography business.
One interface that reeks of genius is Magit[1]

Taking a sprawling interface like that of git and making it work in a console window in Emacs is an idea that bears repetition across other tools, e.g. tar.

Video games that use servers will have to have open source versions written to support the old games. So that anyone can run a server for them.

Thankfully, I never had to do much MFC professionally, but holy shit, if you inadvertently messed with one of the generated macros, good luck. I remember it sometimes being easier to throw away everything and start from scratch than debug the horrible compiler errors.
Richard Feynman said physics is a “horrible subject” if a teacher quizzes you
There’s an old interview that’s well circulated at this point in which Richard Feynman answers various questions about physics. I think it’s worth sharing a nugget of gold from that interview, which until today I somehow had personally missed and suspect others haven’t heard before. It’s a statement about how studying physics is ruined by the school approach.

On physics, Feyman said:

"I don't want to take this stuff seriously. I think we should just have fun imagining it and not worry, like there's no teacher that's gonna ask you questions at the end -- otherwise, it's a horrible subject."

This is said at about 7:01 in the following video:

I assumed that tails is normally invisible and must be logged into using some secret handshake at boot time. Otherwise it's pretty silly, even if the partition is wholly encrypted.
It's definitely real, but as you stated, incredibly slow (and noisy, though that's dealt with by refreshing). It has limitations currently, but there's good work right now lifting those, so it's definitely something to keep an eye on moving forward.
"hard to time precisely, but everybody knows that it’s a thing that happens regularly. " ... " That’s the exact opposite of a black swan;"

No - big things that happen every so often that you cannot time are exactly what Black Swans are.

None of those pandemics you mention rose to the level of disrupting business globally, what we are seeing is unprecedented.

'Pandemics' do not disrupt the world regularly.

2008 crash, 9/11, 1998 Asia crash, Iraq War I, 1987 crash, Opec oil crisis - nobody saw them coming.

'Black Swans' happen every so often but we never know what form they are going to take.

The big 'black swans' were, 2008 crisis, 9/11, Asia crash 1998, possibly Iraq war I, 1987 digital crash, Opec Oil crises, etc.
In general, just giving people money should be the null hypothesis for how to spend, and any government spending programme should be measured against this 'placebo'. Instead of against the weaker standard of 'does the spending do any good at all?'

I have no clue whether those programs he wants to slash are any good or bad.

Higher education is mostly a signalling game. So very useful for individuals to spend on; but a zero sum game at the level of society.

I have used RSS daily for longer than I can accurately say. Since at least when Opera had a built in RSS client. When Google Reader died I switched to https://g2reader.com and have been using that daily since.

I don't know how younger people do it but I can't see any other way to get my preferred news in one organized headline only in an outline-like place. Maybe I am just old school but I really like RSS as I am able to get through headlines from tech, finance, etc on daily basis and go through them quickly. Anything that pikes my interest I click on the headline and it takes me to the site to read whole article. One of my favorite things to do while winding down in bed.

RSS though is like a foreign language to the under 35 crowd when I have brought it up or they have seen me using it. So it is already dead in that sense. They just prefer to get their news through Instagram/Facebook feeds or just visiting their few preferred websites directly.
The Broad Institute has assembled a really talented and growing team of engineers and data scientists in an effort to accelerate science: https://www.broadinstitute.org/data-sciences-platform (DSP).

They develop open-source platforms that are inspired by and seek to solve problems lived firsthand by collaborators (such as myself) and the greater scientific community.

The Broad has created an environment and provided resources to enable engineers to do great work. The DSP feels like a blend between tech company and academic research institution. The people I've interacted with are technically superb (and also nice).

If you are interested in contributing to the intersection of life science and compute, would strongly recommend you check them out.

This may be off topic if you consider above to not be sufficiently "blue collar", but biomedicine in general (from the entire spectrum of basic science all the way to care delivery) is in dire need of smart computational folks.

The paint you get in a tin varies a little depending on the batch - even if you get exactly the same colour from exactly the same brand - so unfortunately you’ll never be able to get a precise match (pro-tip: if you suspect that you’ll run out of paint whilst doing something, go buy another tin and mix it with the one you already have - it’ll be much harder to tell you ran out).
> it disincentivizes work

"work" is a funny term. Accepting for the sake of argument that it disincentivizes economically beneficial work, what if it frees up eg, artists and other culturally important activities? Or family care? Is that a bad thing? It makes /society/ better, even if it makes /the economy/ slightly worse
Or Socialism.
So here's the trouble with "it's obvious":

http://www.slutsofinstagram.com/

"Slütsof In Stagram", naturally, what did you expect? See also "Whöresof In Stagrâm" at similar URL.

Yes, someone tried to register SlutsOfInstagram.com and WhoresOfInstagram.com and when Facebook/Instagram objected, they turned the sites into something else entirely.

The point being that you can't really tell anything from the name.

But then you can't really tell anything from the content either, because if there is phishing content the first thing the registrant will claim is that they've been hacked. Which is hardly uncommon in that context. So then you need someone to make a judgement call. Which is what courts are for.
Also, I would be really surprised if one couldn't make the US drop in those rankings by subtracting San Francisco and the bizarro-world VC tech economy that centers on it.
No, the reaction is reasonable so far.

1) We know it's a fairly dangerous virus
2) We know it spreads easy enough
3) We know enough people get 'really sick' and require highly specialized medical intervention, enough that without controls it will totally overwhelm medical facilities.
4) We know that in order to stop the spread, you basically have to quarantine cities, shut down factories, have everyone everywhere wearing masks - have a look at Wuhan, it's like a ghost city.
5) The city went from a small number of cases to thousands quickly
6) Italy, Iran and S. Korea have seen small numbrers of cases explode and medical facilities are being overwhelmed in some spots.
7) Small numbers of cases in any country could easy grow into what we see in other countries.
8) The precautions taken in the West are mostly refusing travel from some areas, checking the health of others, focusing hard on those testing positive, ramping up testing abilities, getting the medical system prepared for the worst, trying to keep people from panicking.

Corona is pretty scary - if it 'gets out' in America it's going to cause serious social upheaval and damage. It will be scary, especially because many people have no health insurance.

A long term existential question will arise if America isn't able to treat those without coverage - it's basically untenable. If people start to die in any numbers in America because they don't have coverage, it will imply a major upheaval of healthcare in the country to the point wherein I think some kind of socialized medicine will have to happen.

Yes, that's a big part of why rent control doesn't work well.

A land value tax is levied on the value of the unimproved land in a specific plot. Whether you leave the land fallow or build 30 storeys of luxury condominiums on it, the amount of dollars you have to pay in taxes doesn't change.

So the (additional) housing supply is completely untaxed.

What is taxed however is the following:

If the town gets a new highway or airport, and that raises land prices, that gets taxed. Same for a UBI.

(To pre-empt the next discussion: it's not completely trivial to separate the value of the building from the value of the land. But it can be done. Insurance companies do it routinely. And there are a variety of strategies to make the assessment that are hard to game or cheat.)
It also has silent type coercion, so it will happily promote your _Bool to an int, neatly voiding any benefits the type might have had to offer.
Relevant GitHub comment:

> It looks like the change we've made has a bug in it which means the PR author isn't getting a co-author credit on the squashed commit. We're working on a fix for that now, and I think that's the cause of a large part of the problem here (and explains why you're not seeing the co-author show up in GitHub

> PRs with a single author are an interesting case. We originally considered doing the above in the case where the commit message is not changed during merging. Doing so would introduce an inconsistency with other squash and merge commits, though, so we wanted to ship and learn here. It's also worth noting that the command line equivalent, git merge --squash, makes the merger the author of the commit.
that sounds interesting. do you have anything you can share?
>The output of the above program will be “NULL is 0”, so it is quite evident that NULL is defined as “0” in C language.

To be pedantic, all that's evident from the observed behaviour is that in C, NULL compares equal to the integer literal 0. The expressions may be, and usually are not mutually interchangeable both ways, as they (may) have different types.
It's probably total SaaS spend divided by headcount. There are lots of bits you may not interface with directly, e.g. backup & compliance, infrastructure monitoring, advertising. And as another comment suggested, certain specialized applications with sky-high license fees.
I recently started reading "Clean Code" by "Uncle Bob" Martin and I've decided to incorporate adding notecards on what I've come across. I've created a few cards already.

But in terms of making cards on books I read for pleasure, I agree in that it seems like overkill. One of my favorite biographies is "Peter the Great" by Robert Massie, and as much as I love reading it attempting to memorize names and details and jam pack my brain with facts would fry my brain.

People now buy CPUs and GPUs based on primarily one index: how many fps their favorite games can run at their desired resolution and quality. So manufacturers of QCs should do the same by specifying what problems at what sizes their hardware is best at solving.
Flexible Launch Control (setting your own keys) is available in the NUC7CJYH, apparently: https://github.com/ayeks/SGX-hardware#hardware-with-sgx2-sup...

So even worse availability than I thought, I figured more than one SKU was supported. (I think you could at least buy either a NUC or a 1U from Intel for SGXv1 prototyping, but this is all I can find at the moment.)

Honestly though given all that it's still hard to find what actually defines SGXv2 in terms of features or errata, though. But FLC is the major requirement that will allow mainstream kernel support, from my understanding.
I'm not American, so same situation, but welfare as a cost to government I am pretty sure includes all spending, not just that which goes to the final recipient. https://www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/CRS%20Report%20-... is the best I could find.

I'm also pretty sure that is the case in almost all countries, where welfare is all money spent on, well, looking after people in some way?
Evidently, there are enough advantages for people to voluntarily take on those jobs.

And 'normal employment' means 'unemployment' for a lot of people in France these years.

France should encourage more companies to enter and contest the market that Uber is in.

I read Stephen Kotkin's excellent three part series on Stalin this summer and Kotkin (who is by no means a Soviet apologist; he's a conservative) thinks Stalin was a political genius, a modern Machiavelli. For example, in this interview [1] he explains how Stalin's administration was what he considers a "transcendental work of art" while also explaining how it was psychotic and evil.

I highly recommend Kotkin's books. You can jump into the second, Stalin: Waiting for Hitler, 1929-1941 if you want to learn more about him as a leader.

Remainder of sentence:

", requiring more specific information such as what types of research were needed, and what questions they ought to address."

Article:

> Further studies investigating how the different alleles of SARS-CoV-2 viruses compete with each other will be of significant value.

> If these changes are not due to sequencing errors, it would be interesting to test whether and how these mutations affect the transmission and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2.

> Thus, it will be interesting to investigate the function of the S84L AA change in ORF8, as well as the combinatory effect of these two mutations in SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis.

> follow-up analyses of a larger set of data are needed to have a better understanding of the evolution and epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2. There is a strong need for further immediate, comprehensive studies that combine genomic data, epidemiological data, and chart records of the clinical symptoms of patients with SARS-CoV-2.

I'm not sure if I would call those unqualified statements. Some are a bit vague, but they do identify questions that should be addressed and that a larger dataset is required.

* Only ~200 people out of 1000 completed the survey. Many of these people were found by the researchers, so there's likely bias (given the nature of the report)

Spaced repetition is a game-changer but right now it's not really adopted outside of say Duolingo and Quizlet.

I think the reason why is that integrating spaced-repetition into your workflow is painful.

If you use Evernote or Onenote and Kindle or maybe something like Anki then you're constantly switching back and forth.

Polar changes this by making a fully integrated reading, annotation, note and spaced repetition platform.

You can read a PDF, highlight an important piece of text, convert it to a flashcard, then sync it to Anki directly - all without ever leaving Polar.

Further, we also have our own spaced repetition algorithm if you just want to use Polar directly. If you're not an Anki user this might be easier since Anki can be difficult for some people to configure.

We're REALLY close to 2.0 and have some important features including EPUB, annotations for tags and a web-based annotation system so that you can highlight and create flashcards directly in the browser.

We also support a really cool feature called incremental reading which allows you to easily suspend/resume your reading to resume where you left off. All your highlights can also be reviewed by spaced repetition algorithms so you can re-read core parts of your document repository.

I'm on Discord if you guys have any questions:
