> This reads like a thinly veiled recommendation to privatize schooling, reduce government supports to make people"hungrier" for success, and leave people's welfare to the conditioned charity of narrow cultural interest groups. Let the "best" rise to the top in the arena of struggle.

You're putting words into my mouth and your comment just derailed completely thereafter, so I'm not even going to waste time addressing your criticism if you're not assuming good faith on my part.

I suggest you pause and reflect upon your apparent assumption that others who hold opinions different from your own do so because they are morally inferior or somehow driven by less noble motives.
It’s generally hard to have a “false positive” in a PCR based test unless the sample was contaminated with the material trying to be detected. False negatives would be much more common.
If you’re concerned about a close match, this is unlikely to give satisfactory results.

Take your samples to a good paint store. Those machines are more sophisticated then you may think.
Thanks for reminding me about this. One thing I've established with my siblings was that none of us should transfer any money via a service like Paypal, Venmo, etc to each other without an explicit casual phone call first. It can't just be a text or a phone call asking for money, you have to have a casual conversation first. How is work? How's blah blah, what are you getting for dinner tonight, etc. For the case of elderly parents, I'm lucky that they would immediately hand that off as busy-work to siblings. Like they would never go to Western Union, they would call a child and say hey your sibling requested such and such can you go do that which would then raise all of the alarms.
Thanks for posting - very cool! Send us an email at founders@trustle.com :)
I rent out my small city car, and I'm considering getting a ute to rent out as well because the margins are better. I was shocked to find that the basic ute style that was so common when I used to live on farms is almost gone. I need to park on city streets, and dual cab is overkill. Relative fuel efficiency would be nice, too.

The few I did find were lovingly restored classics with a surprisingly high price tag.
This makes me wonder how many presently existing encryption & security projects / organizations are owned or influenced by government agencies.
Hopefully they added emptying the trash out of the fuel tanks in the pre-flight checklist...
Wrong.

Parent said

> First: All studies so far show a pretty consistent ~10% work disincentive. This is what all the detractors say when they say it disincentivizes work. So how about this one? From actually reading the study's conclusion:

>> Slightly less than one-fifth were employed before but unemployed during the pilot (17%)

> So even worse than what we've seen so far. 17% dropping out of the labor market when its a short-term study is huge.

Child comment proved this to be misleading. I myself was misled. Anyone reading this would think that this study showed that UBI disincentivizes work. Child comment showed that this conclusion does not follow from the study.

You can speculate all you want on what permanent UBI would do but what the parent comment said is absolutely a misrepresentation of the study.
> Our society is so focused on productivity that we forget that the foundation for improved productivity is sleep, exercise and diet.

I have seen more focus on getting people busy than actual productivity. The video games industry is a good example where the lack of planning and quite often personal maturity of the company leadership cause crunch time and a lack of personal well-being.

Exactly this. If , e.g., we run our planes like we run our bodies, they will just fall from the skies.

You're not looking at it right.

Imagine the X server running on your local machine as a server providing access to your eyeballs.

That's why the remote machine is the client; it is a subscriber to the server providing access to your screen.
Maybe domain names are treated differently from book titles, but I don't see why they should be. There certainly is fair use of trademarks in book titles if the use is descriptive, not likely to lead to confusion about who produced the book, and can't be effectively replaced with a more generic term. E.g. "That Popular Graphics Editor for Dummies" isn't a sensible substitute for "CorelDRAW! for Dummies".
Has anyone tried maintaining a blacklist of sites or some kind of fuzzy domain resolver as a paid extension for businesses?

--all know how to weld

I had to laugh at this as it took me back. I grew up on a citrus farm, raised by my grandparents. My grandfather knew how to stick and MIG weld but did not know how to TIG weld. As more and more parts where being created in non iron based metals, he bought a TIG welder and made me learn how to TIG weld as he did not want to learn anything new at that stage in his life. That is also how I learned how to rebuild automatic transmissions, anyways it's amazing how many times knowing how to weld has come in useful over the years.

How test works

The Stanford test uses a technique called reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, or RT-PCR, to rapidly identify the presence of viral RNA in swabs from the noses of potentially infected people. RT-PCR uses short stretches of DNA called primers that bind tightly and specifically only to matching sequences in SARS-CoV-2 RNA. An enzyme called reverse transcriptase then converts the viral RNA into complementary DNA, and as the reaction continues, an enzyme called polymerase is used to generate billions of DNA copies that can be detected by fluorescently tagged molecules called probes.
Waay back in the day.. 286 12mhz with 1mb ram and a 10mb RLL drive. Setting the jumpers on the drive controller block was a nightmare that I still have. I think there were 16 or 32 pins and all the jumpers had to be just right or no dice (no drive). Further along I had a 40mhz Cyrix 4x86 I think, with 4mb ram and a Trident VGA 256 color card. I remember the ram being old school block chips and not SIMM modules. It's been a long time, so I could be mistaking the memory type between mobos. Was a great 3.11 machine for the time.
As a programming language enthusiast, I often wish the type of comments and chain discussions (no matter how off topic from TFA) would happen more. But yours is not the first negative view of these types of discussions, so I’ll just quietly wait until it happens and then be happy about it, while not begrudging you your flame bait free threads.
Violence is already really loosely defined (e.g. violence seems to be done up the social hierarchy; e.g. a state is not considered violent if they deport a refugee, while a protestor is considered violent if they block traffic). But even in this loose definition scammers fit perfectly as being violent criminals. They intentionally cause significant harm to their victims with their actions.

A lot of definitions put a physical qualifier, but that is not how the term is used by English speakers, e.g. bullying or psychological tormenting, is violent even though it is only verbal.

That bothers me. It is like saying that "infinity" (+inf) equals other infinity. Which is just wrong.

Some other SQL dialects will return "UNKNOWN" rather than "t" (true), which imho makes way more sense.
I’ve mainly seen that situation in post M&A environments, and while fiefdoms are often a part of the problem, untangling auth across multiple enterprise systems is really hard.
Dear Namecheap,

How can I donate money?
It should be a lawsuit against the unnamed clients, rather than the hosting provider itself. Namecheap is a third party here imo, but there is plenty of precedent and process in using a lawsuit to compel third parties to provide information via subpoena.
I have an inexpensive Acer WinBook. The BIOS lets you nuke the preloaded public keys, and explicitly white list the current bootloader(s).

Now, if anyone tries to boot it with something other than Grub, it will fail and prompt for a password.

This seems like a reasonable tradeoff for secure boot, though it would be nice if Grub had a lockdown mode for this use case.

I'm assuming the police at least scrutinized it enough to determine it was indeed an improvised gun, i.e. verified some kind of firing pin mechanism.

As for its diameter, I don't know why you're assuming there's not a coaxial arrangement going on here. Did you see photos showing details I didn't see? URL please if so.
In biology 101, they taught us that life is something with the following properties:

1. Has order

2. Has metabolism

3. Has evolutionary adaptation

4. Responds to the environment

5. Reproduces

6. Grows and develops

Which seems fine as a definition, but certain physical processes are still a little ambiguous. Like consciousness, there's probably not a clear dividing line between life and non-life, but rather a gradient between the two.
Recall that "rebase" == identify the end of the linear history in common between this branch and the upstream, call that the merge base, identify local commits between that merge base and the head of this branch, checkout the upstream head, and cherry-pick (sequentially apply) those commits as if de novo (possibly recording this action in new metadata).

One can implement that even with Fossil or any other VCS that pretends it does not implement rebase and pretends it never will.
It would be awesome if we could figure out how to get insurance to cover this type of support. I also don't think it just replaces that. Parents spend a ton of money on books, courses, etc. There is also the time factor (we save parents a lot of time), and filling the need of parents who might go see a therapist to get support, but don't really need that level of support. We are also priced well below the market for parent coaches and sleep consultants (usually $150 a session).

In my experience, namecheap takes care of issues when you report them but the do not prevent on-going issues. They let you play a game of whack-mole, where scammers can buy domains faster than those domains can be taken down.

Also, since regular vans the vehicles actually driven by people who use vehicles for work, they've largely remained the same size as they've always been.

Plus, they are cheap used because they are the anti-status symbol: nobody is going to daily drive a "___-van" unless absolutely necessary.
You're both correct-ish. The constraint on blocks is that they must "weigh" less than 4 million units. Most of time blocks that weigh that much are going to be around 1.4MB (or what ever) but in an absolute worst case would be a size of 4MB by a specially crafted transaction
Why can't RT-PCR tests be used to detect virus in a sample mixed from a large number of individual samples? This would enable cheap and accurate mass testing, since you can find P positives from S samples with O(P*log(S/P)) tests. What's the catch?

It's not BS at all. It proved that they could use a quantum computer to compute something that would be infeasible for a classical computer to solve in a reasonable time frame. That's huge. It's a toy computation, sure, but that's still a major step.

It has to be scaled up much more before it can do useful things, and the scaling process is very difficult and costly. But we now have confirmation that the idea is sound.

Wrong.

Parent was correct in quoting the study. 17% were unemployed. What were they doing instead? Studying, or not working (with a small minority on sick leave).

From this we can conclude that: UBI encourages people to leave the workforce, or this study encouraged people to leave the workforce. Studying is still a productivity activity in the right context, but you cannot pretend it is the same as being employed from the perspective of analysing the economic impacts of UBI.

The overwhelming majority of people who double click the Excel icon would be equally well served by sheets or localc. It's fine if you're an analyst and are more productive with Excel, but if you're the rest of us, it doesn't matter what spreadsheet app you use. For most of us, a spreadsheet is a spreadsheet and don't need anything more complicated than sum().

In most companies, it's silly to have Office installed by default for all employees. If you need it, fine, put in a request and we'll get it done.

(please note there are a few things I'm NOT saying: 1) localc or sheets are as good as Excel for all users. 2) companies should save money by never paying for Excel, even if an employee wants to use Excel. 3) all companies should follow the rule of thumb outlined in my second paragraph.)

Netflix chose AWS because it was the only viable cloud at the time. (They used Azure for backups.)

In fact, Netflix helped build AWS. There were daily long-term scheduled meetings with AWS developers to review new features and versions.

In addition, the policy from mgmt. was that they were fine being mono-cloud, since if they changed their mind, they had the engineering resources to migrate whenever it made sense.

Source: worked at Netflix.
This is cool, and it's great to see you work on this (and thanks for open sourcing!)

One more bit of prior art that might be interesting to you: I worked on the Mozilla Bespin project a long time ago with Joe Walker. Joe was also really big on the command line idea for much the same reason and created [GCLI](https://github.com/joewalker/gcli/blob/master/docs/index.md).

GCLI ultimately landed in Firefox Developer Tools, but I don't think it's in the current shipping version. Funnily enough, I just found a video on YouTube of me demoing the command line in Firefox Dev Tools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwOwJ1_JaKE

The state of the art in web UIs has definitely moved forward, and I'm really happy to see more experimentation with graphical command lines.
My understanding - from the context of criminal forensics - is that false positives from RTPCR are quite problematic, actually, due to the tendency to pick up non-target DNA that comes close enough to catch the primer. It's an issue in DNA-rich environments (e.g., nasal swabs swarming with local flora). I'm open to learning to the contrary if anyone has a decent citation on the topic.
I've cycle commuted for significant periods of my life and heard that kind of argument from motorists plenty of times.

It simply doesn't match the reality of how drivers behave.

First, motorists often just have no idea how to drive sensibly around bikes and do weird things that contravene road laws and common sense - not leaving any passing margin, passing way too close right before red lights, cutting off bikes that they've just overtaken to turn right.

Second, motorists will get aggressive and impatient with cyclists that are riding in the most perfectly considerate and legal way. I've seen motorists get irritated with cyclists if they get delayed more than a second or two. That happens all the time with other cars - if the car in front of you is turning, it's going to delay you the same amount as if you have to slow down to safely overtake a cyclist. It goes both ways too - some motorists get upset if you ride in a textbook manner (occupying a lane as needed, doing hook turns, etc) and some get upset if you don't do that (they think you should be riding in the gutter or the sidewalk or whatever).

Third, if you look around, you'll see cars breaking minor traffic laws more frequently than people. In my old neighbourhood I kept an eye on how often different vehicles blew through stop signs, and cars did it with frequency and in far more dangerous ways than bikes. Just look at the statistics about how many deaths are attributed to cars behaving badly versus bikes.

The only way I can explain it is two things. First, people get confused when they have to interact with cyclists, because they don't really know what they're doing, and as a result get frustrated and angry. Second, motorists are primed to be annoyed at cyclists because they're different. It's hard to get annoyed at the car in front of you delaying you by a few seconds by its simple presence, because you yourself are also a person in a car.

The complaints about cyclists doing this that and the other are red herrings - if cyclists stopped doing them, the people complaining would find another way to rationalize their frustration.

I think all road users should up their game, but it's cars that are the big problem.
He's conflating miner-concerns with general node ones. If you're running a miner, every millisecond is money. I operate nodes that takes up to like 20 seconds to get and validate a block (running no-mempool, and slow network/cpu) and it's absolutely no problem for my use case, which is pretty typical (accepting confirmed payments)
Maybe I did not express myself accurately enough. I work in VFX, and my language is not always as precise as it could be. But certainly for us this is the difference in application.

Using a two camera input, the best we could hope to get was a depth map. Typically, it is reliable for at most one or two reliable levels of depth, useful for foreground/background separation. Maybe also a crude depth map, useful for fog. With Lidar we could all that plus normal information (i.e. face orientation).

However, I concede your point. The core difference is one of accuracy.
Literally tens of thousands of people (if not hundreds of thousands) are working on this outbreak. My friend works for the CDC in Atlanta, and the taskforce in that city alone is 1,500 people. They work 75 hrs/wk exclusively on this outbreak.

The idea that the many thousands of people with jobs and doctorates in public health, epidemiology, and medicine would be sleepwalking while you (and I assume some other people) are more aware of the impending disaster is ludicrous.
