"Professional and Home-Made Face Masks Reduce Exposure to Respiratory Infections among the General Population"

"All types of masks reduced aerosol exposure, relatively stable over time, unaffected by duration of wear or type of activity, but with a high degree of individual variation. Personal respirators were more efficient than surgical masks, which were more efficient than home-made masks. Regardless of mask type, children were less well protected. Outward protection (mask wearing by a mechanical head) was less effective than inward protection (mask wearing by healthy volunteers)."

"A more specialized mask, known as an N95 respirator, can protect against the new coronavirus, also called SARS-CoV-2."

First impression, but is it a ridiculous notion to assume that loading code into the secure area wouldn’t be used by malware? Like if you were trying to avoid detection for the rest of the system that doesn’t seem like a great place to do it?
Imagine you are used to 4k quantum dot HDR10 displays from FAANG. Would you be happy with some gaming monitor instead? A decent 5k2k monitor is $1100, 5k2.8k is $1300. 4k DCI EIZO is 4k+. You might want two of those as well.
I love this anecdote in Young At Heart:

After his first day in kindergarten, three-year-old Richard told his parents, who were very eager to know how the day had gone, “It was all right, but the teacher doesn’t know much. She asked me what shape the world was and all sorts of things that I thought she would have known.”

Because worry is not actionable. Worrying does not achieve anything.

The actions one can take with regards to SARS-CoV-2 are limited. One can avoid being in crowded places close to others when possible, and practice careful hygiene. A minority can work from home. Americans can avoid public transit, but most urban dwellers outside the USA cannot.

About the grandparents caring for the children: it's true that this could pose a risk, however it also keeps the risk confined to a single family circle, which wouldn't be the case with a nanny who could then potentially spread the infection to her own family or other families kids.
Folgers crystals can address your caffeine addiction. They taste like shit, but you'll live and it'll address the chemical needs, speaking from experience. Alternatively, you can buy and freeze pounds of ground coffee and use a filter and hot water for a similar (but vastly better tasting) effect.

So sorry about the dishes, but perhaps your dish washing efficiency will improve? If it's directly impactful to your productivity now for a single individual's daily calories it suggests you've got a lot to learn here! Perhaps a G2G course once normal business returns?

In terms of the monitor I can't help you, my most productive years were on an 11" MacBook air with a single tmux session. A 13" laptop sounds heavy.

I don't think there's a clear bright line, any more than there's a clear bright line between being avoiding individuals you dislike and discrimination. That doesn't mean the distinction doesn't exist.

If one shopkeeper won't serve you, they're exercising their own rights and you can take your business elsewhere. But if every shopkeeper won't serve you, you're probably being discriminated against. I don't presume to draw the line precisely, but we recognise the difference.
In our case we were adding new APIs and expanding our format rapidly for years on end. After the 20th or so miscommunication that lead to a week+ delay because someone got a field order wrong, or in one case because we hit a bug in the C# compiler in regards to struct layouts (!!) we switched away from rolling our own.
>In what way are dorms worse than personal homes for diseases anyway?

They would be liable for not taking action against the Virus. Personal homes are much safer especially because all movements and interactions are accounted for. In a dorm, that's basically guesswork at best.
> As counter-intuitive as it is, throttling without blocking is a more effective form of information control than blatantly blocking.

This is equally true for removing problematic users from a site. Outright banning them might anger them to the point of becoming a bigger nuisance, but throttling them (without their knowledge) is more likely to just bore them into targeting another service.

I know I've seen others here talk about this technique too, but I'm blanking on specific examples.
Indeed, I've always find it a little bizarre that anyone objects. Do they really think the best strategy is not to find out why the fence is there before removing it?
There may be something to this. If you look at the actual cases in Singapore, they seem to be clustered around two specific locations, one company and a single event which I would presume was held inside a single big hall.

I'm in Singapore, and life here goes on pretty much as it always has. Except for a larger than normal number of people wearing masks, you can't really tell that this is ongoing.

That said, the government is doing a lot to keep it that way. There is intensive contact tracing, and companies register people going in and out of their offices (to help tracing), if you're sick you're supposed to stay at home, and so on.
The sort of software you see using this license is not the sort of software anybody is likely to get sued over anyway. To say that Joe Blow is being "terribly reckless" because he licensed his vimscript that prints the weather forecast to the terminal with a license that doesn't forbid suing him seems like a gross exaggeration. He's probably more likely to get struck by lightning than to be sued by anybody using his software.

I think a lot of people forget that not all software needs to be aerospace grade shit that with licenses corporate suits think are sensible. Certainly WTFPL is not an appropriate license for every software project, but that doesn't mean it's inappropriate for all software projects.

Meh, only NDEF NFC protocol is supported. A little bit too restrictive. There are so many devices out there that could be configured from an authorised website but many of them use a proprietary binary tag format.

Hope they open it up a bit in the future. Just like they did with webUSB and webBT.
Yes. I have an Atom on one end of the pipe as well, but it's over 10Gbe and to a 6 drive mirrored and striped vdev. Using SSH as the transport it would only approach 100MB/s, using mbuffer it can max out the storage at about 250-275MB/s.
Yeah I heard that, I think they are the only state doing that. If you live there 50% of the year. Sounds kinda a odd thing to do if they aren't domiciled there, but I guess the locals support it. Was reading a random forum thread and sounds like they use more college students than local.

I was researching about domicile before Since the full time RV/digital nomad life interests me and looks like people decide on South Dakota, Texas and Florida or use a friends or family address even if they don't really live with them, and probably the only family member who's stable and I'd trust handling my mail isn't that computer savvy to scan them for me and security concerns - so going to a friendly state and paying a provider makes sense if you are going to get rid of all your stuff and be a nomad.

Kinda seems like discrimination in a way though. Some couple who retired sold their house and bought a RV and ran into issues with their state's DMV, so they had to hurry up change to a friendly one, but I guess their former state loses out more then they did anyways since they saved a lot of money since the new state has no income tax, and cheaper registration and insurance. Then homeless people or abused people escaping from their partner or family can struggle to get all their documents. I guess some DMVs were telling elderly people their birth certificates were no longer good and they had to buy new ones and wait.

Then also seems a form of voter suppression, some county in Florida said people who are homeless, living in a van, rv or boat wasn't allowed to vote. I'm a fan of one person, one vote though but seems like they need a better system for IDs. Also wouldn't surprise me if some workers would give you trouble for printed bank or credit card statements since so many people are paperless... Oh the DMV is such a annoying place, I think maybe could be right below going to the dentist. I know both Texas and Florida have online renewals every other renewal too, so sounds like when moving maybe factor in the DMV along with other things. Then Texas even offers online driving school too where you can take your permit test online even, so they seem maybe one of the more advanced states.

Still have that dream of full time travel though but building up passive income online would be needed, right now I think I rather focus on a startup and find a city I'd love like maybe Austin or Miami, warmer, focus on being happier - then travel a few weeks a year which would be way more vacation I have now.

I hate to stoke FUD, but that's pretty much it for any semblance of containment. If those TSA agents tested positive, 1) you can be sure other TSA agents at other airports are also infected, and 2) I'd be extremely surprised if they didn't pass Covid-19 to a significant number of travelers, 3) whatever individual(s) gave it to the agents undoubtedly also gave it to other travelers.
On the flip side, in the used Tesla market over here it's surprisingly common to see "battery replaced last year under warranty" on cars that have done ~80k miles.
Nope, the first wave of the flu only killed older people and people with a low immune system. Just like the corona virus. The Spanish flu hit in three waves. The first like this one. The second wave hit the younger. The third wave hit the rest.

Yes. Testing is ramping up at the moment. I think we'll have a much better idea of actual infection rates and distribution before a few weeks.
And, since the issue is copyright instead of patents, it doesn't expire after 20 years. Oracle isn't in the clear just because SQL came out in the 1970s (IIRC). Even in the 1960s, they aren't in the clear.
In Cyprus all universities and schools closed down today with only 2 confirmed cases. Again this I believe is because the health infrastructure is not adequate to treat people in case of a pandemic therefore precautions are more important.
Best polynomial approximation equal ripple error
We lost the chance at containment weeks ago. It's in the community. We need to stop all flights, close all schools, and discourage travel. Our best chance now is in flattening the curve so our healthcare system isn't overburdened.
Hopefully everything is graded on a curve to at least minimize the performance effects

Generally, lawsuits arise under two conditions:

- You start making lots of money.

- You're doing something that causes someone else to lose lots of money.

The same is true of software licenses. You won't get sued for hobby projects with low impact. But if you start making money, others will want a piece. If you start impeding on someone else's revenue, they will want to protect it. If you're in either of these situations, software licenses matter.
We had first-principles analyses like these before the DOJ stepped in to try to clarify.

There are a two options: first is to do social distancing properly and the virus will naturally die out, the other is to "go on as normal" and eventually most people will be infected.

The current low infection rates are because people are changing their behaviour, not because the virus isn't a serious problem. This effort is slightly thwarted by selfish randos who ignore the risks.
It’s about $500 for a 4K 27” monitor. I thought Google compensated their employees well enough for at least that.
Thanks.
The last bit of advice is something I can act upon. Although I do have automated some tasks, I think going all out on automation wherever possible will lead to saving some time. Might help
Do both - fold down the quilt/sheet so it looks neat but still breathes. Then make it later on. Takes me five seconds to make the bed and then I appreciate that neatness every time I walk past during the day - easily worth it to me.
Glad to see more batteries-included solutions to frontend development. In particular, I'm glad to see you've addressed a lot of the pain points with building a fullstack application with React: Forms, lack of "laravel artisan-like" CLI generators, integrating GraphQL (and picking between one of the many server and client-side libraries/frameworks).

I only had time for a brief look through it but searching for "redux" and "state" didn't bring up anything; do you have an opinionated approach to global state management?

Keen to check this out when I have more time this week!

> There are a two options: first is to do social distancing properly and the virus will naturally die out, the other is to "go on as normal" and eventually most people will be infected.

Will social distancing really work over the long term though? We can't live in caves forever, eventually we have to come out.

Why the coronavirus could send China’s economy back to the ‘80s
An operating system is not defined only by its kernel. It's kernel + APIs + user land. If one of those components is changed radically, it's indeed a new operating system. That's why Ubuntu and Debian are distinct, even if both are based on Linux.
For what it's worth, the mockery seems weird and dumb to me. It's pretty clear that you were just engaging in a discussion about whether working from home increased or decreased productivity. But everyone seems to be finding a 'woe is me' tone somewhere between the lines. I wonder if it's mostly a bandwagon effect or if people would tend to read it that way independently.

On the bright side, maybe it will do some good overall, because working from home is (IMO) clearly a good idea at the moment, and now people have a strawman villain they can fight against by supporting WFH policies.
TSA agents likely are having direct contact with a much more diverse crowd than the average person, with maybe exceptions for folks in super urban areas, regularly using NYC's subway, etc.
The Hyundai Kona Electric looks decent, and has an actual instrument panel instead of a weird iPad thing. You can't buy a Tesla with a standard charging port in the US, though I think Europe managed to solve that problem.

Also they infrequently change their gloves, as if the gloves' only purpose is protecting the TSA agents from the things they're touching.

If it's already out, how will stopping flights and closing schools really help? How long will you stop them? At best, this will just slow the spread, not stop it.
In fact this does not have to be intentional. Transit through other network cost money and Chinese ISPs rarely enter into peering aggrements with other ISPs because there is relatively little inbound traffic from abroad (notwithstanding a lot of lot of outbound ddos traffic, but I digress). Hence the situation is that even without any overt political motive, it is in the ISP's financial interest to throttle connections to anywhere outside their own infrastructure. Until a few years ago it's not common for Chinese datacenters to rent several drops each connected to a different ISP because interconnection between them is very limited.
If you like this, check out Neal Stephenson’s newest book “Fall, or Dodge in Hell” for an interesting exploration. While you’re at it, it’s probably worth it to read “Reamde” first as they’re in the same storyline.
The idea is to slow the spread, to avoid a situation like Italy where hospitals are overwhelmed: https://www.vox.com/2020/3/10/21171481/coronavirus-us-cases-...
> You won't get sued for hobby projects with low impact.

I agree, and that's precisely the sort of software I've seen using the WTFPL license. I don't think it's right to characterize this as reckless. Licensing something like PostgreSQL as WTFPL would be reckless, but I don't think that's how the license is actually used by the community.
>Chinese internet companies wanting Western competitors to have a reputation for being slow and unreliable

Someone from US chamber of commerce Shanghai mentioned one of the disadvantages of expats working in China is slower workflow due to dependence on throttled western internet. Foreign companies are already structurally slow compare to domestic companies, frequently having to negotiate management structures between different time zones and generally less agile due to having more bureaucratic layers. It's an assymetric problem for Chinese companies abroad, much less western expats have mandarin fluency compared to Chinese expats who tend to be multilingual. Sometimes English as modern lingua franca backfires. Similarly, many Chinese sites are banned or throttled from access when you live in the west, Chinese diaspora hilariously depend VPN to access many Chinese websites while abroad. One would think the Chinese government would want to make it less hard to stay connected with the diaspora, but it's probably weighted against risk of foreign influence.
Presumably because it doesn't have the necessary legalese in it that would let you do that safely.
As mentioned in the last line of the linked article:

"In some cases, we may have alternative licenses available for AGPL licensed code."

(I still bet _mostly_ open source stuff licensed under AGPL just gets outright ignored by FAANG scale company engineering teams, rather than being embraced and convincing their boss to to go into bat to pay for a commercial license...)

Same thing when omit `-c 100`. Am I doing something wrong?

The point is that slowing it has a huge amount of merit as well, so that the healthcare system isn’t flooded with everyone getting sick all at once.
