To be fair, Flybe was on borrowed time. It feels like Coronavirus was a fig leaf for poor management and the owners wanting the UK government to give a loan rather than them investing in their own business.

That’s not to say this virus isn’t affecting the economy but the government’s decision not to offer a loan is what pushed Flybe over.
Will they resist the path of a monstrous gouging of the American people, thus exposing them for what they are.....I suspect not - let the gouge begin...
The rub is in definition, though. You've assumed far too much with your "factual statements," specifically on what does "black people" mean, what even is an "iq test," or what an "illegal immigrant" or "drug trafficking" is. That's why those are not really even factual statements but are quite politically inflammatory. The people who feel they're wrong may think they're facts but can't figure out why they aren't, not realizing that they aren't actually facts at all.
Back in the days of AOL and bonzi buddy, I used incredimail for a bit.

Kinda surprised they can't make a profit by injecting ads into every email sent and received and leaving everything else in maintanance mode. Perhaps that's what they've been doing already for the last decade.
Yes, but most of the new route showed on those maps is existing rivers, so it's not comparable at all as presented.
>It's reasonable because police forces simply don't have enough resources to abuse this system.

Could this principle be applied to encryption? A cryptosystem for personal communications carefully designed to be crackable using certain amount of resources. So getting access to one person's data would cost you say $1000 of cloud resources. And first you have to obtain an escrowed hash to crack using a warrant.

Would this be acceptable to public?
What makes covid 19 suddenly interesting or different in terms of tools required than any other virus?

The best answer you can probably get by researching which research institutes usually deal with developing methods for diagnosis, select a smaller one (e.g. from a local University) then find the contact details of a researcher (PhD student) and phone or mail them and ask if they'd have time to have a 1-on-1 chat with you. In my experience, they are likely to be interested to look for common ground and approachable problems with people who can contribute something they cannot.
It was about time to change!

Hope this will lead to

* more Khan Academy-like content

* free textbooks available to everybody in the world

* software companions to help children advance according to their exact needs and level (instead of being stuck in a 20-person class herd)

* online teachers paid by the hour or monthly subscription available for students

* less emphasis on expensive certifications and more on 'what can you accomplish'

What opportunities or hopeful outcomes do you see?
The things you said all revolve around the gun's primary purpose and only reason for existing, which is to kill.

Target practice is just practicing getting better at killing.

Crime deterrent is threatening to kill.

It's valuable because it's good at killing.

It's a well crafted killing machine.

It makes one feel less vulnerable because you hold the ability to instantly kill someone.

Why deny the gun's purpose is to kill? It seems to imply you think it's bad to kill people, as if we could demonstrate that yes guns are only good at killing people, it might risk your guns being taken away? Seems the strongest rhetorical position is one that argues in favor of the gun's ability to kill and why people should be allowed to have that ability.

A few ideas:

1. Mine social media for possible cases.

Bluedot does not use social media, because it is very noisy, but a combination of human oversight and user flagging could potentially be useful. Reporting these potential cases to the CDC and to that user could be very useful. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/fayko1/my_covid19_stor...

2. Find ways to target ads at possible superspreaders or at-risk people for accurate information and advice. Example: I saw someone at the airport wearing cloth masks- those don't help. And worse, it confers a false sense of security.

3. Build a smartwatch app that buzzes when you try to touch your face.

If everyone tomorrow stopped touching their face in public, the virus would be greatly reduced.

4. Cough sound analysis for pneumonia detection

As we move from containment to mitigation, and the prevalence of COVID-19 surpasses that of influenza,
detecting pneumonia earlier will enable lower mortality rates through earlier intervention.

5. A centralized source that finds all COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 related papers so that doctors,
drug discovery researchers, etc. can easily find the newest and most promising research without having
to manually search medrix, biorxiv, lancet, etc. This will likely be most useful for physicians to look
at emerging treatment plans from China and South Korea.

6. Homomorphic encryption for GPS based path crossing and high threat location flagging. Two apps
for this already exist in Korea, however in the US privacy is a greater concern. Homomorphic encryption
might help with this.

7. Applying a discovery engine like AGATHA (https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/f3fpih/r_a...)
on the virus literature including new papers and making it usable to the public.

In general- think about small ideas that can be easily implemented (quickly!) and that don't try to solve the problem entirely but rather help in small bits.

Also, not software, but if any of you can build a compact and cheap far-uvc lamps (eg using a shg crystal and a blue diode laser or led like Sharp did), you could do a ton of work: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-21058-w. Alternatively, a microwave source capable of ~7-10 GHz should also work: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep18030
Honestly seems like you are doing well and that many of these had quick solutions. Great job.

To be fair take look outside the media's favorite cities to pick on for gun violence and start taking a good look at the per capita instances of gun violence, particularly against women.

America definitely has a serious problem with violence in general and we can't just blame Chicago or whatever other flavor of the day the NRA has picked.

Encryption can be used for a lot of things.

Guns can be used either to kill things, or to practice at getting better at killing things.
Even assuming the ridiculous premise, most paedophiles don't abuse children. (And not all child abusers are paedophiles, either, but that's getting into the really dark side of human psychology.) Support structures are important, as with all such things. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-41213657
Friction basically. In a perfectly idealised version of the system with no friction/slack/materials being deformed/etc, if you started it off then let go then everything would keep spinning forever. You don't need to pump a whole lot of energy into the device to make it go.

Why is it wrong? No one is forced to buy it. The only people buying it are ones who consent to that price—same as any other transaction.

How can someone be a victim if they want to engage in the trade, and explicitly chose to do so?
I'd argue that target practice isn't just getting better at killing (but perhaps it is for many people). And, as a result, "well-crafted killing machine" isn't necessarily all there is to it -- though only specific kinds of guns are good for shooting targets and not killing people. All your other points are valid.
As i understand it, the graph nature of Knowledge Graphs allows simpler queries.
And also a better moddeling of the data.

Some even support techniques like inferring "new" wisdome that was not implicitly moddeld.

In the end you could solve all that on other ways like making the application smarter and using a "not so smart" db system. But i am not an expert in that topic...
Fear alone? A bit dramatic.
I think politics has to acknowledge that most jobs these days do not generate any economic output: They are parasitical jobs that feed on those with actual economic output.

So if a parent has a bullshit job, that parent should be put on paid leave to take care of the child.

The critical case is when both parents have real jobs.
> Holding up the queue, eh?

Hardly. Just have your coins ready at the cashier. Often you can do the math yourself and present the money immediately and in the correct amount. On some glorious and surprisingly frequent days, you can empty your coin pouch in one swoop. It’s a nice little game.

Anyway, nobody is obliged to sacrifice their privacy because someone in the queue can’t manage their time properly.

Unless you're really setting out to create something for your already existing home page or great web idea, or you're already a web designer wanting to visit the coding side, too, I think web development is a way too heavy load for the beginner.

You have to not only learn your language of choice, but also HTML, maybe even CSS and the fight with the query/respond nature of HTTP and/or asynchronous JS, callbacks etc..

Maybe if you're starting out with some Scheme setup where you've got an abstract page description DSL and a continuation-based framework.

No problems with keeping that as an intermediate, "now you're a real programmer" goal. But let's start out with "input name/fahrenheit -> print greeting/celsius" for a while and learn about structure, data types etc.

Simple graphics get you something that you can show your relatives and friends, too ("I made space flappy bird / the mandelbrot set"). And with way less mental overhead.
> Compare that to remote backdoor access to everyone's encrypted communications. All they have to do is push a button in order to instantly get access to someone's mail, calls, instant messages, social media, phone location history, etc. Abusing this power is a trivial matter and there is little if any oversight.

Much as you can build a physical policing system with or without oversight and with or without covert powers, you can do the same for encryption. It is absolutely possible to build a system where the company, the police, and the courts all need to agree in order to hand over access — in fact it's more possible than with physical security. It's also possible to build regulatory bodies that make relevant details publically visible.
Signed and negotiated real estate contracts are pretty much the definition of informed consent.

You explicitly agreed to those terms. I think it is entirely decent to stick to the defined, mutually agreed terms.
I answered your question in detail and with references, I think that is a pretty obvious attempt of good faith. You literally accused me of doing something horrific (telling people to not have caution against a deadly disease is a horrible thing in my book) and then refused to substantiate your accusation, but I'm the one arguing in bad faith? OK.

Airlines are flying empty planes to keep slots during the coronavirus crisis
* Washing hands 20 seconds with soap whenever leaving the house.

* Avoiding public transit (Berlin trains and subways) by biking for my commute.

* Our office will likely switch to full work from home mode in the next couple of weeks as the case count here increases. Many other tech companies in Berlin are doing the same.

* Growing my personal space bubble, standing and sitting further away from other people when possible.

* Eating out less.

None of these things are much of an extra burden on my life and are generally positive things regardless of covid-19.

I'm generally still going outside and doing things. Travel plans for an Italy vacation I had have been cancelled, but I need to use the vacation time, so I'm going to go to some Museums in Berlin this week. At the current rate of ~4-10 new confirmed cases per day in a city of 3.75 million people, I'm not drastically altering my life. When that changes to 100-1,000 new cases per day in the coming weeks, I'll start leaving the house a lot less...

Scratches head. I see, good to know that you agree that most (nearly all) gun owners don't shoot people. Actually, I suspect as a percentage lesser gun owners shoot people as compared to paedos abusing kids, but sadly I don't think I can get any sort of citation for that.
The lack of posix semantics when unlinking on NFS rears its ugly head in many more places. For example the common atomic write pattern that allows readers to keep reading a stale copy doesn't work anymore (you get ESTALE on IO or SIGBUS if it's mmaped) which means anything involving a frequently replaced file will require more workarounds than on any other filesystem.

> What's not rational is cutting funding to supposedly disappeared diseases. They do re-occurr. The Spanish Flu died out at first, only to re-emerge in WW1 trenches and wreck absolute destruction.

Wouldn't the fact that the disease has disappeared in human populations greatly increase the required funding and limit the effectiveness of the research? The best you could do would be to produce a bandwidth of candidate drugs that can't advance to human trials for ethical reasons.

As an American expatriate I'm always shocked or bemused by the US-centric comments I get from family.

I live in East Asia, which is by no measure a cultural or technological backwater, and was surprised to hear my mother say, two days ago, "you must get YouTube over there...".

For some more perspective, I'm the most successful member of my family (from a financial pov) and from the condo I live in to the car I drive, I have nicer things than my parents ever did. I'm the first in the family -- and this is something I only considered just now -- to sends his kids to a good / expensive private school.

Though I don't lord it over them, my life is way more advanced / cushy than theirs. But from their point of view I'm not in the US and therefore don't have access to what they consider the gold standard of civilization.

And this point of view has not changed even though my parents have experienced my life in Asia first hand. Truly bizarre blind spot.

To me this sound like a crappy piece of propaganda. This project is in the national interest of Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine. They would profit from this route, obviously. The underdeveloped region would get a nice boost. The project is also against national interests of so many other countries that profit from lack of such route, many in the EU, notoriously Russia, and many others.

The caption “colorfully painted log cabin” under a photo of a dissolving uninhabitable shack is priceless. Really makes me want to protect the region from evil humans.
I have had reasonable success using spaced repetition with math proofs (written in LaTeX). I create cards sparingly, often based on questions from problem sets which I shouldn't have gotten incorrect (i.e. the mistake stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of concepts, not a misstep in algebraic manipulation)

> I don't see how cards would help me with mathematical ideas. You have to get them on a fundamental level, and then they're hard to forget.

I find it too easy to trick myself into believing I understand a concept on a fundamental level. But often that "understanding" slips away, and six months later when faced with an example problem out of context I struggle to solve it.

Email today has grown very dark and is definitely not the fun whimsical world they mention it was when they started their business in the 1990's.

I vaguely remember this world. I was 10 before I understood that you could access the internet through a variety of ways, you didn't just have to use the default AOL browser my parents had.

Something disturbing regarding email though. Recently on Twitter I've seen ads for https://theXYZ.com, an email platform the purports to be both ad free and surveillance free mostly. This is not true for a few reasons technical reasons that most sysadmins can spot reading through their copy. More concerning though all of the pictures of their "company" and "data centers" appear to be stock images that have floated around on the internet for years. Who would do this and lie so brazenly?

Has an interesting side effect of screwing with threshold of movement, particularly finger movement.

I play rhythm games (sifac, llsif, deresute, mirishita...) regularly and tried modafinil. My fingers wouldn't auto-move anymore, and furthermore even if I moved them consciously, it took more effort to do so.

At everything else, it puts caffeine to shame, with no tolerance buildup or withdrawal symptoms.
