Not only that, by using this you will increase your S3 bill, by definition of how this works.

If you are going to use windows explorer and enter a directory full of images — windows explorer will fetch thumbnail for _every_ image. If you have 50000 files there, that's 50000 requests + bandwidth for 50000 files.

Same for video or audio. Getting metadata isn't free.

But the worst case scenario if you have a big big file, let's say vhdx disk image, that you mount and keep modifying every minute.

S3 protocol doesn't have 'modify', it will _have_ to reupload entire file every time even if a single byte is changed. For a 10G file changed 1000 times that's 10 terabytes of traffic.
> Thank you for the useful reply, and I agree the best way to learn is find some project to work and learn on, nad it would form a nice porfolio as well, but the thing is, I dont really have a passion for a coding/programming

That's fine. You don't need passion to do a project (you can do it just because it's the best way to develop marketable programming skills, and you want to make money programming), and if you are motivated by passion in a programming project it can just as easily be passion for the application domain as passion for programming.
Why not colonize deserts on earth? It is vastly less energy consuming, vastly more useful, but no less of a challenge.
Using a mask like you described still helps significantly. (Would help 10x more if the user would put it in a damn plastic bag, not on the table!). If you wear the mask on crowded bus or subway and take it off when you enter a not-so-crowded-and-frequented caffe you still did a lot!

What would help a lot would be smth. like a high-power-UV portable box that could fit in a backpack (or a chemical equivalent), to allow at least some imperfect but useful re-sterilizing of masks... single-use N95s are hugely wasteful...

I think our current focus on "perfect" and "100% correct" (whatever that even means...) hurts managing pandemics A TON! An approach where we'd recognize the probabilistic nature of contagion and fight for +1% probability of desired-event-X1, -0.1% prob. of undesired-event-X2 etc. would be much useful... at whole-population scales all measures will be sloppily implemented in practice and we need to accept than and just "tweak the odds" until "we're mostly winning"...

(For sure, use better proven and standardized methods in hospitals and other settings with well trained people paid to implement measures correctly. But don't expect most of the average population to bother doing things the optimal way even when they've been educated about it... there's opportunity costs to everything, even to "giving a f"!)
We're not going to resolve climate change with one or the other; we need a combination of every clean, non-fossil burning energy tech available.
That is an incredibly short sighted view. We need to be proactive not reactive. This virus is here and it's here in a big way. Positive cases are not the full picture. Median incubation period is 5 days. Italy is a warning and we're not taking it. We should all be in quarantine now so this doesn't get out of hand rather than wait for it to become uncontrollable and then trying to de-escalate it.

After researching it, the arsenic isn't "fake news", and I would trust the BBC to actually have asked real experts [1], [2], and their recommendation is:

> Now, some ways of cooking rice reduce arsenic levels more than others. We carried out some tests with Prof Meharg and found the best technique is to soak the rice overnight before cooking it in a 5:1 water-to-rice ratio.

> That cuts arsenic levels by 80%, compared to the common approach of using two parts water to one part rice and letting all the water soak in. Using lots of water - the 5:1 ratio - without pre-soaking also reduced arsenic levels, but not by as much as the pre-soaking levels.

> more than 80k confirmed cases world wide, and two with a secondary infection.

We should talk about the test error intervals.

With that small amount of secondary cases, maybe it was a false positive the first time. No procedure is 100% failsafe and this is a price that we pay for being in the real world. Maybe the test was not applied correctly, was not stored accurately or was triggered by some artifact.

True, if surprising to me. It's a rule from the onset. I didn't know that.
This was an experiment (2017), not sure what became of it.

> Less than one percent of users in Germany installing Firefox from our main download page will receive a version of Firefox with Cliqz recommendations enabled out of the box.

> This experiment also includes the data collection tool Cliqz uses to build its recommendation engine. Users who receive a version of Firefox with Cliqz will have their browsing activity sent to Cliqz servers, including the URLs of pages they visit. Cliqz uses several techniques to attempt to remove sensitive information from this browsing data before it is sent from Firefox. Cliqz does not build browsing profiles for individual users and discards the user’s IP address once the data is collected.
The definitions vary (so it's hard to be exact), but they don't necessarily "live" at that density, but may only have the option to have some "yard time".
I've seen one standard which defined the minimum number of hours per day and the diameter of the pipe through which the chickens could reach said yard (fairly similar to their own size). Equivalently and slighly tongue-in-cheek, you can go for a stroll in a park for a few minutes, and go back to the apartment. Free range.

> If this is over in June and 100,000 people died, what would we call this? It would just be another disease probably.

More like few millions in US alone, based on what happened in Italy which is more representative than China. Italy has >4% mortality rate last time I checked. And we talk about very well equipped and highly rated healthcare. I can't imagine this not having brutal effects on global economy.

Another point - unless we have proper fully working cure / vaccine, this ain't going anywhere. June ain't some magical time when virus decides to roll back because enough is enough. Southern hemisphere will keep the virus going on through our summer, so it will come back in autumn.

An additional point - this might be early to judge but it seems immunity is not gained after recovery, so re-infection is probable.

There are more points, like its high infection rate etc.

Since the mortality for younger people seems to be quite low I wonder, given the serious circumstances, whether it would be useful to give some (maybe volunteers?) medical staff in endangered regions "controlled" exposures to corona-virus so that the hospitals don't have a staffing problem due to sick doctors/nurses if a serious outbreak happens.

> Vincent dies on his way to Titan due to his "degenerate" heart.

Vincent definitely doesn't die on his way to Titan. I'm not sure where you got that from. Jerome also self-immolates because he realizes that his purpose is now completed, not because he is cynical and depressed. His silver Olympic medal also turns gold in the fire, which is supposed to suggest that he has achieved his true purpose in life.

In any case, I see the film as inspiring because the two characters still find purpose and meaning in their nightmarish world: Vincent through achieving his goal of becoming an astronaut and Jerome through providing his identity and biological material for a greater purpose.

What you are doing is very dangerous. People need to be aware of what is about to hit them so that they can prepare. Calling into question second-hand reports as "unreliable", even though this particular twitter thread is completely unremarkable and in line with many other reports, makes people wonder if this whole Corona thing is nothing more than hot air. It's just super irresponsible to give people that impression.
An entirely accidental comparison - I recently finished a series of novels set in the US's pacific fleet during ww2, so that was simply the example at the forefront of my mind.

But as a European, the US's military footing doesn't feel alien to us at all. They're essentially the modernization of the British Empire, in that their single greatest "weapon" is force projection, rather than the million-man-armies of the East. We don't necessarily identify with it anymore, but it still feels more familiar than alien.
That would make people drive more safely.
Over the last year? Oh no, in its entire lifetime. Still it is valued more than many traditional manufacturers, and there is no mystery tech in building an EV.
Because turkeys are always fat. Happy and healthy is a diiferent story. And they get slaughtered, becasue that is the reason the are at the farm in the first place. Using that analogy for a disease is jst plain wrong.

Is Dropbox particularly complicated? From the pricing page it appears to cost $35/month for the cheapest plan - $10 for Standard+ and an additional $25 for Gateway. Is there a big market of people paying $420/year to access their Dropbox account?

But rest assured, "Couchdrop Standard+ is almost the cost of a coffee every month." That's some expensive coffee, but how is coffee related to this?

Thanks for the correction, I didn't actually do the math for that, just remembered something I've read a while back, but the numbers where different 20% vs 21%.

Apparently I don't understand exponential growth either cause I assumed a 5% difference scales linearly (as in the difference between 20% vs 21% growth rates for a given period should be the same as between 2% and 2.1%).

Silly me.

News is basically just about Coronavirus by now, whether it is print, online, TV, radio... People are aware, unless you are living in a bunker since last smmer, in which case you would be safe anyway.

If people refuse to take it seriously, no amount of reporting will change these individuals behaviour. What it does so, is causing overreaction of others which can have kind of side effects. Ranging from funny to plain dangerous.
There's File Gateway, an AWS service filling the same niche which you can deploy on prem or in EC2 (or both, with concurrency considerations)

A snippet from the article on the residential IP's:

"Furthermore, we conducted realtime device fingerprinting when we captured each IP address. And we have successfully identified the device type and vendor information for 547,497 IP addresses. What surprised us is that 237,029 of them turned out to be IoT systems, such as web camera, DVR, and printer."
This study looks interesting https://pharmaphorum.com/news/china-backs-roches-actemra-to-...

Actemra is a biologic approved in 2010 in the US for rheumatoid arthritis and tones down immune responses by inhibiting interleukin 6 (IL-6).

Basically it turns down the effect called a cytokine storm which causes your own immune system to attack your lungs. This kills a lot of people.

How can my Fitbit be so bad at syncing?
I have a Fitbit Charge 3 and use it only for sleep tracking. I activate Bluetooth and GPS on my Android phone when I need to sync. Each morning I try to sync the sleep data to get better insights in my daily performance. It's always a difficult and frustrating process. If it takes less that five minutes, it makes my day (that's sarcasm).

When I wake up, I enable Bluetooth and GPS, open the Fitbit app, pull down to sync, and immediately it says "syncing" and the green bar appears and grows longer. Then I go take a shower, and when I come back it is always the same: 0 steps, meaning that syncing didn't happen. I pull down another time, I pull down many times, and I get "syncing", then "searching for device", then "device not found", and you can repeat that for ten minutes or more. One solution is to reboot my phone, but that's so Windows 95.

The following article suggest to enable "always on syncing", to reinstall the Fitbit app on your phone, and to re-pair the Fitbit. Another great solution. Fitbit should "re-pair" their sync process instead of this horrible hack.

https://www.androidauthority.com/fitbit-problems-issues-732505/

I'm not the only one with the problem, so I can't believe that Fitbit doesn't know about this. All their employees probably wear these devices and some should have this same problem, not? Or do they all have Apple Watches? Look at this:

https://community.fitbit.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=sync

Endless pages of problems with syncing going back 5 years or more, many with more than 10 pages of replies with people reporting the same problem.

How difficult is it to setup a proper syncing process between a smartwatch and a phone nowadays? It's 2020 - bluetooth is around for a decade. Fitbit is a big brand with millions of users.

How is it possible that this works so bad and that they can't or won't fix such basic functionality?
This is completely debased. You don't have reliable info on recoveries, infections or death rate. Currently around <3000 people died in China to my info and yes, that number will increase unfortunately. While I think you should take it seriously, it is another thing to predict millions of dead people. It is a respiratory disease and yes, those can kill you.

> so re-infection is probable.

I have the info the virus is not inclined to mutate. But it is just too early to tell.

Merely calling people Marxists would be better than what he actually did, which was calling them a “toxic loonytoon” conspiracy theorist engaging in “political ratfucking” by attempting to “install political officers in every open-source project” as part of a campaign against freedom. Sure, he also mentioned Marxism, and probably associates all those other things with Marxism, but the reference to Marxism itself was probably the least problematic part of the barrage of personal attacks.
As a doctrine, colonization hasn't worked too well for humanity. It assumes an ethnocentric view where the colonizer has the right to take or use resources that they believe they "discovered". Just because there aren't any humans there, doesn't mean it doesn't already belong to someone. And just because we are able to take over a moon, doesn't mean we have the right to.

Instead of colonizing, we should be talking about zero impact exploration where we leave things exactly as they were before we arrived. Then focus on using what we learn to fix and protect our own planet.

Using IoT to Optimize Your Sleep
There are some truly amazing people in the trades.

Some of the absolute best problem solvers I ever met, I met in the trades. I'm talking masters of troubleshooting. Breaking things down into component parts, understanding how systems work together, and being able to pinpoint what exactly was causing the underlying issue. People who just had to know how everything worked. People with knowledge of Refrigeration, electrical troubleshooting, PCB repair, etc.

Working in the trades gave me strong troubleshooting skills.It also gave me an appreciation that a lot of folks in our industry seem to lack for our blue collar brethren. Blue collar != dumb/uneducated.
So you're saying that the administration which refuses to admit Coronavirus is a problem, which a year ago let go its entire pandemic coordination staff, which has proposed a 16% cut to CDC funding, and which today ordered immigration judges to remove CDC posters aimed at slowing the outbreak has nothing to do with the terrible response, and it should all instead be blamed on the officials at the CDC?

The executive and administrative branches together respond to a crisis like this - for example by coordinating actions, providing more funding for health services or in extremis ordering quarantine in affected areas. None of that has been done. I don't think you can effectively separate the two responses, nor do I think this outbreak is somehow Trump's fault, but he and his administration are responding remarkably badly to it.
That's expected based on data from South Korea - the hospitalisation rate is lower than in China with more widespread testing. The virus is both more transmissible and less virulent than the Chinese data suggests. The outcome is the same - hospital bed and ICUs swamped.

As such, we'll know when life resumes and people go back to work en masse.
Only as anecdata, in my practical experience over the years, I needed to change many power supplies[1], and very few motherboards. (excluding replacements due to upgrades)

I would go a little bit further and say that the PSU is probably the most replaced "standard" part of a PC, followed by hard disks.

I also a couple times repaired a PSU replacing this or that failed component, but it is simply not worth the time and money, as spare new PSU's are cheap enough, the replacing is very easy whilst even procuring a single chip or capacitor is complex for non-professionals, besides the soldering tools, etc.

Hopefully the parts that age or however tend to fail will remain in the (easily replaceable) PSU, otherwise we will see an increase in replaced motherboards.

Some sort of (standard) "daughterboard" with the voltage regulating components would have made more sense (to me), but surely it makes less sense from an industrial manudacturing point of view.
