A Mask ROM is read only memory which is build from the silicon mask which in very simplistic terms is the image of the chips to be printed to make the cpu. These 'images' are called masks, giving the Mask ROM. These rom's are cheap, simple and small but can in no way be changed since that would require changing the chip.
Sometimes it includes also non masked rom which cannot be altered.

Regular rom can be many things, rewritable like (E)EPROM or flash, disks like cd(-rom) or chips like PROM (which is write once, read many).
For those looking for an alternative solution, I'm currently running Mopidy on a Raspberry Pi connected to a old Logitech iPod speaker dock that also has an aux input, and have a music library on a home NAS (Helios4 from kobol.io).

Mopidy acts as a jukebox, streaming files from the server and locally managing playlists and a queue. It enabled me to reuse my old speakers, put a RasPi to good use, and offers a responsive web UI to manipulate the queue from our phones. It was the best low-requirement open source solution I found.

Not a bad thing. The trend to put a brand logo on literally everything started probably with cars and it is beginning to irritate me more and more. Why would I want to tell world what the brand, type, etc of my car is? Surely that is something that only interests me, the person driving it?

I understand that there are people who want to impress others with their stuff, but if slapping a logo on it is what makes the car impressive... then the car is not impressive at all.
The Slight Edge - It just reinforces how powerful compound interest is in our daily lives, with time as a silent but forceful multiplier of tiny things we do (or not do) in our lives.
Something to keep in mind is that you can't properly calculate the mortality rate if the cases haven't "completed" yet. Yes, a certain number of people died from the Diamond Princess spread (I read it's more than 6 though - apparently some of the fatalities get their death counted with their country of origin rather than in the Diamond Princess stats). But there are still 34 or so people in very poor condition in hospitals, who might still die.
If the mechanism of a negative interest rate requires stripping people of cash, I doubt it can deliver what it promises.

I am no economist and those might be more used to negative interest rate if they include inflation, but on the other hand it is just another tool for central banks to perhaps stimulate the economy. In my personal opinion, these monetary policies have not been all too impressive.

But no, I certainly wouldn't give up cash for a central bank to have some tool with questionable efficiency. If we are talking about wealth distribution, we should talk about limiting inheritances or something like that. Otherwise I would assume that bankers are more interested in pumping money in the economy.

I would stuff my cash into my mattress if interest rates become too low. That would probably have the effect of increasing them again if enough people do so.

We have a problem with private losses being put on the tab of tax payers. You would need to solve that problem too aside from the lacking privacy of digital cash to make me think about it.

Some economists are also critical about these policies, so it isn't really clear, if negative rate will help in the first place. That some are afraid of deflation might have something to do with debt, couldn't that just be the case?

Regulation would likely dictate thorough investigation but I know of one example where it didn't happen: RBS purchase of ABN Amro circa 2008.

I was at RBS at the time and I remember the fallout later when they realised that paying £10Bn in cash for ABN was a total disaster.

I believe the term that was used was "due-diligence lite" to refer to the amount of investigation performed. Which was especially stupid given that, I believe, Barclays had already walked away from the deal.

Could you articulate one of those scenarios and why negative interest rates would be the best solution?
As a Trisquel user I am completely excluded from this system.
> Unless I'm very wrong about the technical implementation, the data that the bank has is just the store where I shopped (merchant, card terminal) and the amount. They do not have data on what I bought, as in the data that's on the store's receipt.

You're partly correct, partly wrong -- as far as I know the payment provider doesn't have/store this data but can request it from merchants. Merchants have to opt in, but by now I assume all the large ones are in, at least.

These APIs can be used to get purchase details such as item names, quantities, and tax rates. See e.g. https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/visa-cardholder-purc...
The truth about movies, television and online piracy
> Much of the current Swedish society is currently closed to me,

Yes. Because not carrying a smartphone and a credit card in Sweden and only carrying cash is basically like traveling in from Japan with a bunch of Yen in your hand. Of course society isn't open to you if you don't carry the local currency (which is card and smartphone transactions). A bit exaggerated, perhaps, but that's where we are now, like you noticed.

A solution might be to allow shops to charge extra for cash transactions. That is, force shops to accept cash, but at the same time allow them to discourage people to not use it. That way they don't need to run to the bank with cash so often, but they also have a cash system in place for when the crap hits the fan.

There is absolutely zero chance that Sweden will somehow go back to be a place where people regularly use paper money. That just won't happen. What we need is a system that is resilient, accessible, and has decent integrity protection despite people not using paper money.

That no other province in China had uncontrolled spread while multiple countries outside of China have indicates that with a high degree of confidence that China's tactics work. Similarly, Taiwan and Singapore both managed to contain the spread with somewhat less harsh measures which provides evidence that China might have somewhat overreacted but that overreaction is better than underreaction.

As Iran showed, you can try and fudge the numbers around the margins but once it becomes a pandemic, it becomes impossible to hide so we can say to a high degree of confidence that China is 33 for 33 in managing to contain the virus in all non-Hubei provinces.

I agree, I have about 4 - 5 "good hours" a day. But I'm expected to deliver 6 - 6.5 billable hours a day in my job (exluding admin work). It's frustrating as I know that a billable hour before 10am and after 4pm is worth far less than a billable hour between 10am and 3pm. It's especially frustrating when I'm expected to work on something that involves a high cognitive load all day long due to tight deadlines. Account managers, project managers and sales people seem to think that all work is the same and you can work at max capacity all the time, regardless of the complexity of the task.
Coronavirus API Documentation
Patients only get retested after they appear to have recovered. That means their symptoms have subsided.

You can get super pedantic with semantics and call it a false negative, which might be technically true if the virus subsides but has the ability to persist - which is one of the potential mechanisms for reinfection, but has not been confirmed.

But none of that changes the fact that people are getting reinfected and sometimes dropping dead after appearing to have recovered by all measures. This is clearly different to 'it's just the flu bro'.

Yeah it has always been Propaganda that their unchecked power "helps the trains run on time". Even naively it is clear that there is a subset of power needed to actually make the trains run on time is vastly smaller than absolute power - it just wouldn't be exploitable which is what they actually want. They will complain about all limitations and scheme to seize it. The actual solution is to evaluate their claims in and refute them in detail and summary and fire the power hungry bastards out. Sadly this option is seldom taken or else we would have an Intelligence Aparatus which understands why trying to limit encryption when your international economy depends upon it both directly and indirectly is a moronic idea.
Interesting take, I've been seeing a lot from the other side arguing that this will be the best thing to happen for remote working since Skype but I can't disagree.

Voting for people means you can hold them accountable. They lay out their policies, if you trust the person and like their policies you vote them in. If they under-perform you vote them out. Along with a separation of powers to limit abuses, it works very well.

Voting for specific policies directly is often disastrous. Look at the way voter initiatives ring fence high levels of spending while also restricting taxation. Look at how Brexit became such a dumpster fire because a government and an elected parliament was compelled to try to implement a policy the government and a majority of MPs disagreed with. Voting for things not people inevitably creates a breakdown in responsibility, especially for complex policies that could be implemented in many ways and involve difficult trade offs.

I’m not against referendums in principle, they can work, but only if they are seeking permission to implement a policy supported by the government that is calling the referendum. In that situation the lines of responsibility are clear, and for an important decision it can make sense to hold a referendum.

I wasn't only thinking of computer simulations. The word "simulation" is very vague.

It could potentially mean one of:

- Computer Simulation

- Pen & Paper Mathematical models

- Pen & Paper narrative modelling (i.e., writing a paper about different situations and the possible contingency plans - though granted this is not usually referred to as "simulation")

- Role-playing a situation via speech

- Acting out a situation with props and physical movement / simulated limited communication

- Sending out simulated broadcasts ("this is only a test")

- Sending out false but believable broadcasts

- Infecting the public with a (hopefully less harmful) disease in order to gauge response.

> estimate of 30-60x the case fatality rate of flu

so what do you call comparing cfr of a novel disease that so far has often went unreported, had a small sample size, is often misdiagnosed with pneumonia or the common flu and has no immunization, with another where people at risk get vaccinations and there's large statistical data coming from decades of modern countries tracking strains efficiently?

no, comparing cfrs is disingenuous.

not to say that this disease isn't severe, but enough already with the flu multipliers. it's bullshit and is not making any point across.

People mean everything and nothing when they say they want a Data Scientist. So you inevitably will have many interviews that don't work out because you are not what they had in mind. Same goes for those questions. They don't have a clue so they don't know what to ask.

Make sure you know what you want. And of course what you can and can't do. And tell them right away. Cut your losses before a long interview process.

Find ways to talk about yourself instead of simply answering questions. Smaller companies have less rigid interview processes(but also less knowledge about what they want) where you can talk about your knowledge and interests.

On the other hand, if you want to get a job with a longer hiring process, you do need to prepare for those.

Get to know people from the field. Go to meetups ect. That gives you the chance to present yourself, too.

Evaluate what you are missing that could help you get the job you want. Decide which field, data ect you are interested in. Consider what skills you are lacking if you would do a complete project in that field. You are applying for an expensive positions, so people are wary about hiring you. They want you to sound like you got this.

I hope you find the right job soon!
