The original hacker dream of the internet was that it would break down borders and open up the free flow of information. Now that non-hacker types (politicians and bureaucrats, mainly) have had access for a few decades, they've realized how powerful a tool it is for empowering their authoritarian impulses.

Call me cynical but I think it's only a matter of time before the internet becomes totally Balkanized. Heck, it's almost there right now.

For many people, myself included, Facebook content is no longer bound to whoever you have on your friends list. Honestly, it's probably been a long time since it was. Instead, it's all about groups and pages that you've selected to follow. The vast majority of the content I see on FB daily is from my groups. It's enough of a firehose that family postings are largely drowned out. This feed is as curated as my Twitter and Reddit feeds are.

This seems to be one of the last avenues FB has left for retaining younger users, who've rejected the friends & family part of it. Even FB knows this type of usage is their future as their Super Bowl ads concentrated on finding like-minded groups.
I mean, until the technology had been proven, I think that's a valid question to ask.

The question isn't whether N95 masks are/are not effective against transmission of the COVID-19 virus as a boolean yes/no answer.

The question is who should be supplied with the masks in a time of extreme shortage in a way that is most effective for the public at large, in terms of maximum effectiveness and lifesaving. It's all about ranking - what's the priority ordering for distribution?

The CDC and other well-educated organizations believe they should go to hospitals and other health care providers first, infected people second, vulnerable populations third, and others last.

Popular greed combined with ineffective controls are upsetting this logical ordering, and increase the overall risk for the population as a whole.
Engineer: In my current job, I have _one_ 30 minute meeting a week, in a company of 100 staff, and maybe 20 developers.

As someone who has worked in both commercial ship and U.S. defense ship design and construction for over 20 years, this is one of the most absurd and uninformed write-ups I've ever seen.

VLCC's (an example of a commercial ship or "black hulls") are designed to minimize cost. They use the cheapest steel, burn the cheapest fuel - it's basically a metal bucket with a motor. LPD's (a military vessel (more specifically an amphib) or "grey hull") is constructed of higher end materials to protect itself and it's crew in peace time and it war.

Just to give you an example of where some of that cost comes from - LPD's have flight decks with night vision compatible visual landing aids so pilots can land at night concurrent with LCACs bing loaded into the well deck. The flight deck can handle the intense structural heat loading of V-22 aircraft. They have massive hangars to store and maintain aircraft, with precision gantry cranes to do delicate aircraft parts replacement aboard the ship. There is an ASSIST RAST track that does not deteriorate over time and jeopardize heavy weather aircraft landings. There is a state of the art help control station... ALL OF THIS is shock qualified to survive blasts.

The list goes on and on - combat systems, command and control, freshwater generation and sewage systems for a massive crew (compared to a ~20 person merchant ship), a propulsion and steering system with much higher installed power and power density than anything anyone would put on a commercial ship due to stringent speed and maneuvering requirements.

All of this is very difficult to integrate into a design and equally difficult to build.

If you think you're going to design and build a grey hull at the same displacement cost (steel weight) as a grey hull, you are grossly mistaken. You're comparing a custom Ferrari to a bare bones van and saying "hey, this can weighs more and costs way less. Gee, I need to write a paper to let everyone know that Ferraris are way over priced."

Ding dong.

> losing a lot of that voting block as older voters often serve as a check against naive ideas that younger voters have such as wanting to try socialist policies

That swings both ways; older voters also tend to stand in the way of necessary reforms, like ending the Drug War, or similar "law-and-order" policies that end up being counter-productive.

While I won't pretend there isn't a naive, full-blown socialist contingent amongst some young backers of Warren and Sanders, it's a little frustrating when the signature policy (single-payer healthcare) isn't some kooky "experiment", but a functioning norm in the rest of the industrialized world (usually with statistically better outcomes). Obviously that's not trivial to replicate, America is larger and less homogenous, there are good arguments against single-payer, yada yada yada. But it's a far cry from an "experiment", let alone from "seizing the means of production".

At any rate, I do favor implementing policies at state and local levels, whether socialized medicine, or actual experiments like UBI. But let's a keep a little perspective, and not succumb to naive categorization based on a locally-scoped Overton window.
Around 90% of the population of Hong Kong is wearing a mask right now. Despite the proximity to China, it's use as a transit hub and it's densely packed population - there are only 115 cases there.

While it's far from conclusive, I'd suggest this as valid evidence that the use of masks is helpful in reducing the spread of the virus.
For a language that's not widely known it's weird how Clojure features in Stack Overflow and JVM surveys. Meanwhile, it's also strange that a language that's not widely used finds its ways into all kinds of well known companies.
Hii dear i wanna hacke cpanel plz suggested me
I use Dokku, which is like Heroku, but on my own server. To setup a backend, I just write the code with whatever I want (I use Elixir) and I use a local DB to test, using an env var to get the DB host. Then, I create an app on Dokku, a server, and deploy:

Dokku install:

$> wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dokku/dokku/v0.19.13/bootstrap.sh;
$> sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.19.13 bash bootstrap.sh

Now, go to the server's IP or the domain you have setup previously and configure it with an SSH key and some other options.

Create an app:

On the server:

$> dokku apps:create application_name
$> dokku postgres:create application_db
$> dokku postgres:link application_db application_name

Deploy the app:

On the client:

$> git remote add dokku ssh://dokku.servername.tld:22/application_name
$> git push dokku master

Once more on the server, to get TLS certs set up and auto-renewal (only the first time per application):

$> dokku letsencrypt application_name
$> dokku letsencrypt:cron-job --add

Then it just builds automagically, and as long as you use some sort of took to coordinate your database schema (for my use I use ecto migrations), then you don't need to do any more than this, really. You might have to do some limited configuration in your repo, but not much (add a .buildpacks file, then maybe a buildpack.config and a app.json).

For a static site, you literally push a repo with a `.static` file and an `index.html` in the root dir (you can do more complicated things, too).

It's not quite as powerful as k8s or whatever, but it can run small to medium sites easily, and it does have an Alpha-quality scheduler to push to k8s that I haven't tried yet, but should work as well as the Docker backend, eventually (and I'll switch to that when it's fully capable, too).

With DigitalOcean, I hear you can do 1-click Dokku servers if you don't want to do it yourself (I haven't tried this).

It is arbitrary enough as to be utterly irrelevant in modern genomics. Some people cling to it, usually doctors who haven't gotten the memo, old school taxonomists who don't want to let go of their traditional systems, and of course Pioneer Fund recipients. But popgen/phylogeny researchers avoid using it because of how little information it conveys due to its being so poorly defined.
Please, could we refrain from using Twitter as a source by now? Also, the first strain is, from what I understood, in the wild since January in Italy.

Masks ALWAY help, a little or more, in one way or other. Any masks. Period. If you have them or you can get them easily, use them!

They help because:

1. you have a significant chance of being already infected with a mild form and contagious even if you don't know it - wear a damn mask to protect the really vulnerable people around from your viruses!

2. any masks reduces even by a tiny amount the chance of infection - you eat more veggie fibers to reduce your chance of colon cancer by a single digit percent ...wear a goddam mask to reduce even if by very little the risk of catching (and then spreading) COVID-19!

3. by wearing a mask you'll be imitated by a few others and make it socially more acceptable for others to wear too - some of the people who end up wearing makes because of you are probably already infected and don't know it, so you'll have limited spread by promoting the "fashion"! (also, a few are probably immunodepressed or otherwise sensitive and might not even know it so simply copying a "fashion" could save their lives)

PLEASE, wear a mask, any masks, even wear it badly, but do! Do it for others and to slow the spread of disease worldwide enough to allow healthcare systems to have a chance of coping with it, and to give vulnerable or unlucky people developing the rare severe cases a decent chance of survival!

And wash your hands!

(Yeah, 50-70% of the human population will get this, eventually. But it's incredibly stupid if we get it all at fucking once! Unless you're shorting some stocks or pursuing a dubious political agenda, you don't want this to happen.)

EDIT+: ...but don't go the other extreme, buying them at exorbitant prices despite being healthy and not at high risk, or hoarding them.
>They're holing people up in hospital beds and providing supportive care if needed.

That is pretty important for people at risk. Consider lack of supportive care is what leads to most preventable deaths from regular flu progressing to other issues that will result in death, not the flu itself. For example dehydration and lung infections can be monitored and treated.
No parametrized PHP driver for Postgres allows pipelining queries. This is important if your talking to something non-vanilla-PG that has internal pipelining abilities to mostly elide internal latency from the transaction duration.
They were down slightly, marking the public's general consensus that while the news was worrying, that there was still a good possibility of containment. If you feel like you have a better understanding of risk than the markets do, it's pretty dang cost effective to buy puts, and you can make a LOT of money with very well understood downsides.

In November 2002, when SARS was first identified S&P was at ~909, it dropped to 846 in March 2003, and was back up as the virus was shown to be under control. Obviously lots of factors in play, but we're very susceptible to hindsight bias as a species.
We agree that less distance between the buyer and the end user is better. In our case, the middleman we are removing is the employer. With us, employers are no longer picking specific health insurance policies on behalf of their employees. Instead employees are purchasing them directly through our app, but still reaping the significant tax savings of employer-provided health benefits.
Apart from RFID, how many cameras would be "reading" everything and from how many angles? Will bluetooth be always on to track movement and where we paused and for how many seconds?

Just from these two technologies the "machine" can see that I picked one bag of crisps, one soda (oops wrong flavour I put it back and got the other flavour)(machine saw this and made the change).

RFID would only validate at the exit.

As for the cost 7-15 cents per RFID tag:
-cash management costs. A lot. If you only do e-payments then you save from that
-10 cashiers cost a lot (mistakes, skimming also costs)

Just from these two cost-cuts a super market can cover the cost to RFID everything in the store.
Also the fact that a retailer (I am thinking Carrefour of Sainsbury's that move millions of items per day can get far better prices on tags).
I'm wondering the same thing. Seems like the typical problem with AI in general: dealing with all edge cases in real world scenarios.

It's supply and demand. A higher supply of people means that each person has lower value.
You get a similar effect if you move to a big city after having lived in a small or medium sized town.
People who move to big cities voluntarily turn themselves into commodities; they end up renting tiny apartments which cost a lot and can barely afford to save anything and they can be quickly fired from their jobs due to high competition.

As population size increases, the baseline value of a human being goes down. The baseline value of a human being is the value of the person after the value of their skills and capital have been factored out.
>Compared to being a peasant subsistence farmer, it wasn't so bad.

the life expectancy in Liverpool and some other parts of England during the peak of industrialisation fell to 25 years, the average height fell by almost 10cm, so actually it was pretty bad and it took decades for the situation to improve. I would have very much preferred to be a self-sufficient farmer during that time. Yuval Noah Harari in Sapiens goes through a pretty big amount of data that shows that traditional communities and even hunter-gatherers lived much better and longer lifes than people that had to endure the human meatgrinder that was industrialisation.

First, define ethically in a worldwide accepted way.

Second, you are asking a business to take a loss just because you want them to. I don't think "ethically" is a strict legal term.

I'm not an expert in either language, but have played with both and APL is much easier to experiment with and less hard for me to grok than Haskell. Both have REPLs, but there is a lot of additional ceremony with Haskell (for good and bad). I don't see a huge amount of the APL crowd going to Haskell. Yeah it has terse operators and points-free, but it is more the sum of the whole kind of thing.

blackberry was the case of 'not knowing any better'.

i never had to use one for work but blackberry was my first smart phone, it came with a truly unlimited plan from verizon.

here are some fond memories of it:

- i got notification that new OS was available, i did an over the air update and it wiped 90% of my contacts. i came from dumbphones and remember i had to re-enter 100 or so contacts by hand, i don't think i ever upgraded the SW on it again.

- went out to HH with some friends and getting ready to go home i thought of using the internet on my fancy BB to look up the bus schedule, i pulled up the cttransit website and it would not open the .pdf with the bus time natively, it pointed me to buying some pdf viewer for something like $25. at the same time, my co-workers iphone 3G or whatever it was, opened the pdf without any additional apps.

so much for a "computer" in your pocket and being all about "business and not play", the stereotypical mantra of old crackberry.com. i think the next year on valentines verizon got the iphone 4 and that was the end of blackberry for me.

i can't believe people have nostalgia for this garbage phone.
It's just part of the price, you don't really notice.

Like I do sometimes, but then I consider VAT policy somewhat interesting, in that it specifies the "essentials" (VAT is not charged on these) of what a tax authority thinks one should have.

But most Europeans tend not to think about it on a daily basis, because it's baked into the price.
(re-)Validation costs. In theory, if it was just a "not revoked" signature, anyone could obtain it. No access to thorny private keys needed, etc.
