You almost always want to convert to CIELAB when doing things like averaging or interpolating colors. It is true that the sRGB gamut in CIELAB is not convex - this is less of an issue if you can use bigger color spaces like scRGB but that is often not the case. My advice in this case is to do as much as you can in LAB and then clamp your output to the range of values supported by your color space - i.e. if you get RGB(100, 300, -10) convert that to RGB(100, 255, 0). There are more sophisticated things you can do if you have to but this situation doesn't come up super often so it's not really worth the trouble in most cases.

My healthcare.gov options were easily better than employer offered options. Especially if an employer doesn’t offer an HSA plan, that’s tens of thousands of dollars out of my pocket.
Well, so far...
It contains a lot of solvent (kerosene) and a smaller amount of light lubricant. One problem is that it tends to wash away heavier greases and oils that provide more persistent lubrication to things like hinges and bike chains. Then, the light lubricant is not very persistent. It can flow out of where you put it, leaving streaks, and it attracts dust.

I mostly use it to clean parts before using a proper lubricant. A much better light spray lubricant is Tri-Flow.
The article you shared directly contradicts your claim.

> N95 masks fulfill the filtering efficiency criteria of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and are approved for protection against droplet and airborne transmission of 95% of particles greater than 0.3 microns in size. N95 masks, which must be fit tested, are believed to offer protection against the contact and droplet spread of the coronavirus. At a minimum, N95 masks should be used for all known or suspected cases of 2019-nCoV, as well as for any asymptomatic “open airway’’ cases...
I would say the public exposure of a truly shocking and confirmed scandal that took place within the past 10 - 20 years and which goes all the way to the top of the organization. Especially if a lot of people are in the know.

Something along the lines of MKULTRA or COINTELPRO. (I would argue that even in the era where those programs were rampant, planting child pornography would still seem unlikely. Though certainly a lot more likely.)
Bulkiness is my main complaint, they can be a real nuisance in small form factor cases.

You can probably add a zero, if not several more, assuming the 13% number is accurate.
What surprises me is the number of deaths in relation to the number of infections. Even higher than Iran where I would expect less effective patient management than in northern Italy. What is your opinion on this?
On the off chance that you're adding microformats to your site in good faith rather than just trying to make it accessible to google, there are non google tools, utilities, search engines, applications, browser extensions and so on that make use of the microformat data, to, for instance provide "add to calendar" buttons to marked up events, or automatically convert an html blog to an rss feed. I don't know if they ever got there but there was a vision to have a standard markup for shopping cart items so browser extensions could assist with price comparisons.

And it's not clear that such an exploit exists. Just because HenHouse happened to use the regex that way doesn't mean other places are, and that a similar exploit exists in the other products.

I'm curious to know, but I'd think that the author would've tried to also exploit it in those other apps, and the fact that it's not documented here may be because they didn't find any issues with the other ones? It's a pretty generic regex that has many uses, and may be used for other stuff in other places.
I really want to know if the people who appeared to catch it after recovering simply had the disease in remission or what, because being unable to develop an immunity screws up all the numbers until there is a workable vaccine.

There is a reason for that, which is that UE4 has an absolutely massive amount of features out-of-the-box compared to most other engines.

If you were to add all the stuff from the Unity marketplace you need to be equivalent to a base UE4 install, it would probably approach that size as well, presuming all those features were even available.

DX 101: Building Developer-First Products with Developer Experience
Hi! It is a real bot. All major ships transmit AIS [1] messages that can be received with a cheap antenna and receiver. I wrote a parser and tools [2] for the protocol. I have pals [3] with an office near the water [4]. That receiver is part of a data commons [5], giving me access to data on other ships. The bot then filters that feed (50m messages/day), looking for major ships passing through the Golden Gate [6]. When something goes through, it tweets an announcement.

Photos are all contributed by fans. I've thought about setting up an automated camera, but that requires an actual good view, which is trickier to acquire.

The big surprise for me was how much garbage data there is flowing through that system. Poorly maintained transmitters. Badly configured devices. And merchant marine sailors typing stuff into bridge systems definitely don't share my fussiness when it comes to getting data right. A lot of the code is just a huge set of regexs to turn what people type in the destination field into clean, consistent geographical names. (And if you scroll back some, it's definitely not perfect yet.) But since most of the data is intended to provide human-viewed radar-like displays, it works out fine in practice.

Another thing I learned is that marine geography is just different than how landlubbers see the world. In the same way we see the land as full of detail and the water as a vague blue area on the map, they have a lot of specificity for the water and its edge. But documentation of their notion of geography is much less available. So I've had to do a lot of manual work to figure out what a sailor means by, say, SFO, and there's still more to go.

Is that helpful?

Masks stop droplets, and reduce the spread by coughs and sneezes.

If everyone on your bus who's coughing is wearing a mask - even a simple 'surgical' mask not an N95 one - that means less chances of getting infected from them.
If you run the math with some of the most optimistic mortality rates (0.7%) and total rates of infection (30%), you still end up 23M deaths, roughly the total number of military deaths from WW2.

Divers for oil and gas companies. The more dangerous the place the higher the pay, $100k-$500k.

This is just not true. Companies in at-will states don't need to do any of that - they may choose to, but they don't need to. Literally everyone is a member of a protected class, because everyone has a race, a sex assigned at birth, and a national origin.
Well, no; that'd be a broken design that wouldn't pass UL/CE testing. You'd instead have to use much thicker wires.
As you say, the sheer number of choices can be overwhelming. This is why we have our brokers, who are experts on the nuances of health plans, recommend a few plans for each employee - we do the shopping for most employees, and the power users can pick for themselves if they like. Employees can always chat with us in-app as well.

If you work for a large employer, you have benefits professionals who spend all year thinking about this - we work with small employers who don't have these kinds of resources and are happy to offload it onto us.

At will employment means that you can fire anyone you like whenever you like for any reason as long as they can't afford to sue you.

There is a grab bag of exceptions that vary by state. Please see

https://employment.findlaw.com/losing-a-job/at-will-employme...

I'll excerpt a relevant part

>Covenant of Good Faith Exception

>Recognized in a small minority of states, including California, this exception reads a covenant of good faith and fair dealing into every employment relationship. This exception means either that employer personnel decisions are subject to a "just cause" standard or that terminations in bad faith or motivated by malice are prohibited.

Lambda is based in CA.

Even hr at penny ante jobs establishes a narrative and documentation for reasons to terminate for good reason.
I cannot speak for Lambda specifically... but have been on interviews on the other side. When your only technical understanding as a developer is literally what you were assigned, with no personal effort beyond that, you will be very unlikely to be able to fit into most development environments, which imho requires a certain amount of discovery, research and ongoing reading.

You cannot just sit on your knowledge for 20+ years in this career path... some come close, but they hit a wall... I've also seen that when interviewing those with 20+ years of experience with nothing more recent.

In the end if you cannot/will-not grow, and this can include taking time during work hours, you won't succeed. When you're starting out, you have to bury yourself with learning to get a leg up for at least a few years. Later, you can get by with reading a few articles a day and maybe a couple experiments over a year. But you can not stop learning. And not putting extra effort in when starting out, to me at least, is a bad sign that you won't do well without someone holding your hand.
Other way around - GPUs are not suitable for Java.

Java is a dynamically-allocated, garbage-collected language. So far as I know, GPU code doesn't have the ability to dynamically allocate memory. (I mean, I guess you could, but you'd probably need one memory pool per parallel computational unit. Otherwise, you'd need a global lock on the global memory pool.)

Java is a general programming language. GPUs are not general-purpose processors.

That's off the top of my head. There may be other reasons as well.

If we're talking about the media claims that the masks are ineffective, then it's completely orthogonal to the issue of who should be supplied with the masks. If 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, that still does not excuse lying to the public, as that erodes trust in these organizations and ensures that all other information (e.g. regarding quarantines) would be distrusted.

That's a bit of circular argument. You can't claim people aren't overreacting based on their reaction.

It's very much not just a flu though, that much is pretty clear at this point.

My wish for Apple is for them to spend at least one release cycle fixing their backlog of bugs and focus on polishing their existing features instead of cramming in new ones. Their hardware is fine, but post WWDC 2019 has been a very annoying time to be an Apple user, software-wise.
Well, if people's lives are at stake, why not pay more? ("Why not accept less?" It's the hospital's job to care for its patients—not to mention its workers.) I suspect the cost of one of the healthcare workers getting badly sick one week earlier is worth many times the cost of one box of masks.

If you offer the retail price, then that effectively covers the case of people who accidentally bought too much and would have otherwise wanted to return the masks (but were too lazy until now?). It doesn't incentivize anyone to make any forward-thinking stockpiles; their net profit would be zero, minus the transaction and storage costs.

Financial projections fail because no one knows the future of the economy and mortality rate decades into the future.

Which is why they failed and almost every state and city government is in unstated debt via their underfunded defined benefit pensions.

It’s also easy to steal from pensions under the guise of plausible deniability so the mechanism itself is broken, the people 30 years into the future have no way of keeping the people 30 years in the past in check.

Live in n. italy.
Went shopping today to large supermarket. On way, few people in cars, many people out walking though, especially with kids. Supermarket nose-wipe section hit fairly hard, but that was it. Stockers were tending to other areas (either no nose wipes left, or not bothered?). Nobody was panicking buying. There was a pa with 'keep a meter away from everybody' announce, which made my kid laugh as we'd been watching you tube video on how far a sneeze can travel. Italians are touchy-feely poeople and this scare might make them take things a bit more seriously healthwise.

Even if you are a value investor and in it for the long haul, you may have some opinion about what's a good price versus a bad price. You don't know tomorrow's price but on rare occasions it may be that a solid company's stock looks particularly cheap for a reason you know. Should you ignore bargains entirely?

Also, for many retail investors, transaction costs are now zero. Maybe the conventional advice needs an update?

ARRGH, NO, STOP, THIS IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM. Sorry for the caps, but this stuff is important, and you are spreading exactly the kind of misinformation that the linked article complains about.

The study you link absolutely does not say that masks do not work. Here's what it ACTUALLY SAYS:

> N95 masks fulfill the filtering efficiency criteria of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and are approved for protection against droplet and airborne transmission of 95% of particles greater than 0.3 microns in size. N95 masks, which must be fit tested, are believed to offer protection against the contact and droplet spread of the coronavirus. At a minimum, N95 masks should be used for all known or suspected cases of 2019-nCoV, as well as for any asymptomatic “open airway’’ cases, e.g.: interventional pulmonology procedures

Basically: masks work. They don't work perfectly. You should use them if you are at risk.

Your nonsense about the virus itself being small is irrelevant. Respiratory transfer doesn't happen by virus molecules flying through the air, it happens on water droplets. The masks stop droplets. That's what they're for.

(They also prevent you from touching your nose and mouth, which is another preventative mechanism.)
Self checkout is nearly ubiquitous in US grocery stores, where I barely ever wait at all for checkout. It's rare in places like convenience stores or the large pharmacies (would you call it a chemist if it sells overpriced groceries too?)

Judging from visits to London, our grocery culture is different mainly in that we usually buy weeks of food at once. Some people still use checkers to help them efficiently get through a giant cart of food. And our grocery stores are often gigantic, maybe dozens of lanes of checkout side by side, where in Europe I often see maybe... two?

I've waited in lines in UK and European stores, (Fortnam during the holidays?), but rarely waited in grocery stores over there, even in places without self check. There's just much less foot traffic in any individual grocery because they're so much smaller.

But maybe I'm just comparing US suburbs with UK cities, not sure.
