A few days ago I started taking a low dose of an OTC ACE inhibitor in order to upregulate my ACE2 receptors. This is what the literature that was written before the current epidemic about surviving novel Coronavirus pandemics says to do, and the new evidence that comes out each day is actually validating this strategy.

It's only the scientists who didn't start studying Coronaviruses until two weeks ago who seem to think that having ACE2 receptors is dangerous.
You now have me wondering whether I have, at any point in my lifetime, written a backslash with a pen. It's an interesting thought that possibly I never have.
Its funny how some people who don't work and don't contribute think their entitlements should just continue after their victims lose their income. Here a 50 year old on minimum wage earned less over his career as a land lord owning a single medium size building.

We can argue good investment should be rewarding but someone has to do the work. We cant all be investors. (at least not at this technological state, watch this space :P)
The UK essentially got rid of crazy 100% mortgages. You can still get a 95% mortgage, which is pretty desperate, but the rates on them are punishing, I haven't seen anybody say "Oh I saved 5% for my deposit now I can buy a house".

If you need a 100% mortgage now, all the big banks will tell you either to go away or talk to a specialist. The specialist will explain that there's basically no legal way to sell you a product on which obviously if anything goes wrong you default and lose everything but if you can find a guarantor that'll eat the risk that's an option. The guarantor puts up capital (maybe your parents offer the home they've paid off) and if the mortgage fails that capital will pay for it. So you essentially don't have a 100% mortgage, you've got an 80% (or better) mortgage against two properties, but if things do go badly wrong you aren't going to ever talk to your parents again.

75% mortgages are pretty common here. 80% is definitely more common than 60% but things are much better than they were when idiots thought prices could only go up.
The pesticides are not related to honey production but rather to modern farming and consumer practices. So it's not really a downside to consuming honey, but it would be a downside to consuming non-organic (and treated organic) produce, and spraying lawns.

The thing we need to come up with is a basic income allowing robots to take over our work. Not because it's the right thing to do or a kind thing to do, but because the alternative is civil unrest on a scale few of us are familiar with.

Considering that Mozilla is already protecting their users from specific target sites, it is only logical to assume that they are also improving user experience for a website which has 1B+ users.

If primitives fail, they raise a signal. There is also a primitive for unconditionally raising a signal. Most flavors of K have a primitive called "error trap" which captures signals emitted by a function application, should they occur:

f:{11 22 33 x}
.[f;,1;:]
0 22
.[f;,4;:]
(1;"index")

If a signal is not trapped, K pauses execution and opens the debugger, where a user may interactively inspect the environment, evaluate code, and resume:

f 4
index error
{11 22 33 x}
^
> x
4

Overall not that different from try...catch in a garden-variety interpreted language with a REPL.
Probably because the changes relate to Picture-in-Picture, which is not a standard web feature. Making sure heavily used websites work well seems logical and Firefox doesn't seem to be messing with web standard here, so it doesn't create any kind of technical debt going forward.

I read it as a straightforward swipe at companies whose entire business is “X other company, but ethical.” They’re sitting ducks for another company to come along and trivially one-up them in the virtue stakes.
Their support is horrific. Will never use them again. M1 is delightful in comparison.
This is great! As a founder, I have long felt employee-sponsored health care is awful. A company should not be required to be intertwined in the medical concerns of their employees. It is a very weird conflict of interest. I am solidly behind the complete unwinding of employer-sponsored health care plans.

Also insurers are very predatory towards small groups. There shouldn’t be small Or large groups! It’s a bogus way for insurers to price discriminate and cherry pick.

The other really weird thing is that monetarily employees do not fully value the employer health care contributions. And it’s even stranger when picking coverage for families. So the idea of being able to have a flat monthly “contribution benefit” really helps both sides have more transparency around the financial benefit of health care.

If market-based health care can ever work, it has to be in an efficient market something like this. This is great news and I agree it could be huge! Good luck with the launch.

I thought a lot of schools took advantage of DreamSpark, or what ever the education program is called now. When I was in school, we could log in and download pretty much any Microsoft program or OS (server and consumer) with full licenses.

We didn't use any of the Microsoft programs as part of our education (no skype or teams), I think we transitioned from GMail to Outlook Online by the time I graduated
But it’s possible to construct an LCh color space from either CIELAB or CIELUV. Why choose the one that’s less widely-used?
> It won't be effective and is at best false sense of security. It is about as effective as quarantining kids after mumps outbreaks

The whole point of slowing down (or stopping) movements is to slow down the spread enough to let hospitals handle as few sick people at once as possible. Western europeans countries have very good health systems as long as they're not overcrowded. It really isn't rocket science. If you have 2000 beds and 6000 sick people you're fucked, if you have the same amount of beds and a continuous flow of low amount of sick people spread over weeks or months it's just a bit worse than business as usual.

It's not panicking, it's taking steps to ensure the virus doesn't get more serious than it is.

In general, I find IKEA stuff to either cheap or expensive, and you generally get what you pay for. I have a loveseat, armchair, and coffee table from them -- the loveseat has lasted for about a decade and (aside from a few cat claw marks) is as good as new) despite costing in the realm of $1000USD, the armchair was cheap and the bolts on it need frequent tightening, and the coffee table is $30USD of paper yet inexplicably has also lasted almost a decade.
I was especially irked by this the last time I went to a Lensecrafters. They said it's because Ray-Ban now makes the lenses themselves. So I was shopping at a store front for branded frames with in-house lenses, all owend, operated, and produced by the same parent company (Luxottica). Talk about vertical integration!
I think perhaps you are confusing morals with ethics. Morals are a subjective matter, unique to each person, and are derived from their own individual values.

Ethics were designed as a more objective framework that can be consistently applied in a society so that groups may be able to reach consensus about decisions that affect others. I have yet to see any argument that developing and publishing software that allows people to download public information from the web is unethical, especially considering the fact that you cannot download any information from a webserver that that server does not willingly provide to you. You send a request, and perhaps you receive a response—or not. It is wholly within the determination of the server what, if anything, it sends to you. My software speaks plain ol HTTP, no hax or subterfuge or fuckery of any kind.

Indeed, such HTTP client software development and distribution is widespread in our society: you're probably using some software like it right now to read these words. Other tools that perform this function are shipped with every single install of most OSes. It's some of the most common software on the planet. When you browse Mastodon or Pleroma instances, software on your computer is doing the same thing that my software would do, if you ran it.

Despite the fact that some people are irrationally upset over people's choice of HTTP clients with no justification offered, the burden of proof remains on you or anyone else who has a problem with my software to explain why, from an ethical perspective, I shouldn't be writing it or publishing it. No one has offered such an explanation to me, nor can I, in what I think to be a thorough consideration of all the possible consequences or systems of ethics which might apply, discover one myself. I do not believe that such exists, considering the circumstances of how common even advanced HTTP client software is. If you have one, please speak up.

Remember: whether something is moral or not is a personal opinion; it cannot be right or wrong. Whether or something is ethical or not, however, is more or less an objective analysis within a given ethical framework. It is not an opinion.

This is not a surprise to anyone who understands how a modern monetary system works.

Could you possibly comment on this, as it strikes me as odd, regarding the surprising characteristics of smokers from this study from China:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2002032

86.9% of non severe cases had never smoked
77.9% of severe cases had never smoked

Contrasted with 1.3% and 5.2% in former smokers and 11.8% and 16.9% in current smokers.

While it might suck to be someone whose only value is "slightly less evil", being replaced would seem to come with the territory of making 'slight ethics improvement' your major marketable feature.

Either you remain on the forefront of ethics, continually re-capturing your market and basically creating an ever moving 'ethics' moat, or you are replaced and forgotten just as surely as a smartphone manufacturer who declines to update their models

For the smartphone manufacturer, ethics isn't the key thing, features are. But for bee farming or egg farming or what have you, perhaps ethics are the key feature, the key differentiator in the market.

Ultimately it would seem that an 'ethics arm race' powered by ethical consumers would be a good thing, even if there is some noise on the supply side about who precisely is producing the ethical outcomes

I should add that at my last company we switched to a PEO mainly due to the advantages in health insurance prices and administration. JustWorks has been amazing. You might look at how they do the onboarding and maintenance of plans as a low-friction way to handle this. If you could partner w payroll companies you could integrate your solution completely into the hr onboarding process and get access to a huge distribution channel.

Still a couple challenges though:

- some important elements (nitrogen for example) are mostly missing from the Moon, necessitating import (nicely illustrated in the Artemis novel)

- no atmosphere means any grain of interplanetary dust in collision course with the Moon impacts its surface (and possibly any astronauts on the surface) directly at high velocity

- by not having atmosphere you can't use atmospheric reentry/aerocapture/aerobraking to shed velocity like you can with a body with an atmosphere; all speed changing maneuvers need a thruster impulse or similar

- no atmosphere means serious temperature extremes; even the very thin atmosphere on Mars events the day/night temperatures quite a bit

- you need retranslation from the far side of the Moon to Earth

- only a few fine tuned orbits around the Moon are stable, all others will quickly crash any satellite orbiting on them to the lunar surface due to the uneven gravity field of the Moon caused by sub-surface mass concentrations ("mascons")

All in all Moon has a lot of benefits, even just by being close to Earth. Still a couple things to watch for though. :)

Monitors were still 12V inside last time I checked (5 years ago), they're basically integrating the PSU into the monitors because they use less power and can be smaller/run cooler.

It's very likely you can just bypass the internal PSU on any monitor and power it straight from your battery.

You'll just need to take it apart, which can be hard depending on the housing.
I was thinking more about schools switching over to remote education like they currently do in China. I guess that this sort of app and video conferencing system is currently infeasible in the more rural parts of Germany due to lack of bandwidth.
Why though? People suspend rational thinking to believe they're getting free stuff all the time.
Completely agree with you on supply-side. But Barry need not be alone in his market communication. It is reasonable to suppose that demand-side is also a complex, dynamic system which may respond to diverse communications, including such as in the original post.

The irrelevant value proposition described in the blog reminds me of the panic around this current virus and the hostility when people compare it to the flu even if that comparison is limited to the most boring of facts published by the WHO.

The Facebook container is great, but I wish there was an option for the built-in Multi-Account containers to work this way. I've been doing what the Facebook Container extension does, but with built-in containers, and the experience is very clunky.

The two biggest issues are that I can't give the container a list of domains beforehand and say "everything under google.com should open here". I have to go to each Google subdomain and set it to "always open in this container" with three or four clicks. The other major issue is that there's no way to have links outside those domains open outside the container, so whenever I click a link on Gmail that goes to Github, Github opens in the Google container and I always have to copy/paste the address to a new tab.

Fixing those two annoyances would make the built-in containers feature amazing. Maybe I should file a feature request.

EDIT: I have filed a feature request: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621276
That is a misunderstanding akin to saying price differences by location cannot exist. It factors in all /available/ knowledge and the abilities aren't perfect either. Even if everyone was omniscient there is time to converge to the inevitable end state and perfect knowledge doesn't exist.

Expecting walking or driving around to provide free money wouldn't be workable. The closest precedent are the venerable professional of the poor - urban scavenging for discarded valuables like recycling. And this goes to well before the industrial revolution. To say a tradesman it wouldn't be worth taking their bones from a meal to sell to a gluemaker and just discarded it in the street. To the desperately poor it was input they could turn to money and was sort of a proto street cleaner to a society lacking modern waste disposal infastructure and institutions.
Not long ago I saw an image listing all the ... well ... BS-alarm-triggering phrases you often see in descriptions for software development jobs. That made me reflect on how often these things happen, soI wanted to write an article about it. It might be a warning for new developers, or a call to HR professionals to improve their job descriptions.
It's factually true though. You can't extrapolate how the US handles these things to other countries. They're literally the worst example in any first world countries.

It reduces risk since revocation is broken. Therefore the potential time that a compromised or misissued cert can be used is reduced by a year.
Where I see social sciences is on the formalization of ontologies for specific applications or laying the ground work for general AI. Perhaps some thought will help us go from higher concepts of knowledge to imperative languages, which most programming languages still are. We often talk about learning systems that gain knowledge and improve themselves. But there is probably more to it than adding another table row. Given, that is probably very hard.

That said, I think the article mentions science being "social" in the context of how we weight scientific research depending on the authors standing and expression, not the absolute truth behind it. Which actually is probably quite a shame.

If one actually reads this article (and other links on Wikipedia) one would realize that "fractional reserve banking" is irrelevant in the modern economy. In the EU and US, requirements are too low, and have too many exception to matter, while other advanced nations don't have reserve requirements at all.
