As of last night the number of cult-linked cases was "more than half". So > 3500. It turns out that in addition to worship services teice per week a lot of the cult members save money by living together. So even though worship has been stopped for nearly a month, new cult cases are still being reported.
That might actually be more representative, as it indicates how many people without specific co-morbidities die.
Because those student loans were made in bad faith to people who were too young to realize how badly they were being exploited and how meaningless their education was - for clarification I've paid off all of mine, and I'm still happy to see zero benefit out of this expenditure because it'll be just and help the economy.
What are you talking about? It was Russians (at least two independent Russian groups even) and CrowdStrike has only reiterated that. CrowdStrike is also not the only source of that intelligence.

It doesn’t matter what Assange said, the only thing he could possibly know is who gave it to him. He doesn’t know where his source got it, even if his source was not Russian.

I’m also pretty sure that no LEOs said any such thing.
Superdeterminism means that a hugely macro level decision like which measurement to take is tightly coupled with teeny tiny micro level outcomes. It would mean that the physical predictions are really really complicated. I'd say Occam's Razor points the opposite direction.
Only if they have somewhere to live, so they can isolate themselves if they need or want too. Adding to the homeless would be placing them at greater risk with less medical and people to look out for than any prison.

Homeless people are overlooked at the best of times, at the worst, they can't isolate, they live day by day. We should be focusing in assisting them as by helping them, we also help everybody else as nobody wants to be spreading this and some won't have that choice.
Chelsea Manning Is Released from Jail, but She May Return Soon

Coronavirus restrictions the final straw for ESA’s Mars Mission
I know of at least one company that had to replace some computers with out-of-support OS that was not Y2K compliant.

Big companies (banks, insurance, health care) had elaborate contingency plans.

There were some failures, but nothing to disrupt life for 99.9% of the population, unless you call a website that says it's

January 5, 19100

a failure.

There have been other problems. Day 10,000, but VAX and Unix systems, some programs had problems, once again mostly cause they didn't allow for the longer strings.
There will be many kinds of customers, but among them those who value privacy and those who want convenience. One of them will drive the bulk of sales, the other maybe not. On the other hand, if this is a value prop that excites people you’ll surely have the incumbents consider the economic threat and may add that feature as needed.
The OpenStreetMap API now supports JSON responses
Agreed! I've run into the malware scanning audit issues at several clients in the past but things have gotten a bit better (or auditors have gotten smarter, since we certainly don't want to install commercial anti-virus software or even ClamAV on certain types of systems): recently, for Linux systems, we successfully used cron-job rootkit scanners/FIM (such as Tiger) to clear the malware scanning hurdles, while on Mac and Windows workstations, client security manuals require built-in anti-virus software (Mac XProtect, Windows Defender).
I really don't think there's much movement on that front, of startups moving away from expensive cities to remote work. I'd like there to be, that'd be rad, but I haven't seen anything to that effect that's significant. Do you have a source for that assertion?

And what CityLab is, is pro-making-cities-that-aren't-garbage. There's a reason Americans marvel at how nice European cities feel when they visit, while almost no Europeans say the same thing about any US cities.

US cities have nice businesses and people and points of interest within, but the design of the cities themselves is almost always terrible.
It's like C++ - no-one can ever know it all.
Even if those have been paid, it's still worthwhile to consider the full scope of injustice inflicted upon her.
If you read the reviews and stay with a good host, you are getting a level of service far beyond most hotels.

Not sure what your experience was like, but I’d be surprised if the host has good reviews.
My experiences have all been very good so far. Maybe because I am a cheap traveller and decent hotels are outside my price range.
Lol that's hilarious. I wouldn't rock the boat and if the authorities pursed further I'd just say we were under duress.
Isn't it largely obsolete after decoherence theory explained most of the issues GRW had?
> The infection in Italy started in hospital or in retirement home (I don't remember which), so the first infected were people > 70.

Italy's patient #1 is 38 (see the article). Patient #0 has not been identified.

That would be the Shincheonji Church of Jesus:

I'd really like something like a compiler step/plugin to generate the validators from the declared typescript types.
I used to put every technology I had any experience with on my resume.

Then I started only listing the ones I knew the best.

Now what I do is treat the list as aspirational. "Here are the technologies that I'd like to work with (and which I'm familiar enough with that I could figure the rest out on a job)." I try to paint a story with those technologies: this combination of technologies draws an outline around the type of work I want to be doing.

I did this recently with Rust on the list even though I've only done a couple of personal projects with it, and the presence of it specifically made me stand out to a company that I'll soon be starting a position at! They use Rust and are sort of a dream job in a couple other ways too. They said the presence of that language spoke to the personality of the developer, and the kind of things he was likely interested in.

Takeaways: don't undersell yourself, and tell a coherent story.

Edit: To be clear, I was not being deceptive. Through the interview process the company learned precisely how well I know the things that I listed - we even dove into some of my projects together - and they were still excited to hire me. My point is that "knowing general principles" + "being fairly comfortable in a particular language" is often all that's really being asked for, and doesn't need to be disqualified with "still learning" just because you don't know everything there is to know.
Ants modify their social network to decrease infection
Japan has a lot of intensive care units. I guess it comes with having a generally older population.
Not suicide perhaps but you should take care to evaluate the likelihood of getting paying customers in the current environment if things turn out as bad as they seem to be shaping up to become. I expect both consumers and businesses to be curtailing spending sharply for quite some time.
That makes sense to me -- thanks for clarifying!
I have used Airbnb probably a little over more than ten times. And I've been very pleased. From renting a room in an apartment with other airbnb renters to renting a room in a hosts house, to renting an apartment to renting a whole house with friends, it's always been a good experience.

The times we rented houses as a group were the best and most memorable.

My experience may be a bit atypical in that I don't care for the services a hotel provides, but I greatly value having a bit more space than a typical hotel room.
A deeper look at the legalization of crypto in India and South Korea
Whether it's social distancing or some other factor, the important point here I think is that it wouldn't have died down on its own. For you to look at the positive outcome alone and say "see, it wasn't a problem to begin with!" is just as irrefutable as to say it was the social distancing. So you have to use understanding of the disease, logic, data from other countries, etc, to come to your conclusion.

(You ask an annoying, but fair and important question here. We shouldn't lose our skeptical mind.)
With some effort, you can actually mix optionals and required with io-ts as well. If I ever get permission to open source my io-ts wrapper I'd be glad to show you how :)
My experience is the opposite. I've used Airbnb dozens of times by now (am typing this from one, in fact), have rarely had a bad experience, and always find it cheaper than hotels, especially nice hotels. The only consistent negative, in my experience, is that there's so much variation that I end up spending way too much time comparing listings before picking one. I've gotten good at it but there's a paralysis issue and I don't really want to spend a whole evening on something like that. I think I have less anxiety around picking a hotel because hotels are more predictable. But I'd hate to go back to before Airbnb.
Because free will is supported by some pretty overwhelming evidence. Every human who has ever lived has had the experience of making a free choice. That experience is every bit as real as the experience of, say, seeing the moon. If you're going to seriously entertain the possibility that there is no free will then you need to be ready to entertain with equal seriousness that the moon does not exist because both are supported by similar bodies of evidence.
I mean I'm pretty sure the only "authorities" the owner was worried about were the neighbors telling the HOA. :)

But yea, it was funny. Luckily it never came up. We were only there for a few hours to sleep before moving on.

Can you link to where Crowdstrike is backing away from this claim?
Showing a list of devices is very different than accurate user <-> device attribution. Doing that in competing solutions to Fleetsmith requires at least: (1) having an LDAP server (2) configuring server details, including TLS etc. (3) LDAP attribute mapping in the MDM solution, and then (4) manually assigning each device to a user one a time -- a process that usually involves repeating the following procedure for each device:

1. Copy S/N to clipboard

2. Tab over to inventory spreadsheet

3. Command-F and pray your IT helpdesk recorded which employee the device belongs to

4. Tab back over to the MDM solution, select the employee from the dropdown menu.

This becomes extremely time intensive if you have hundreds or thousands of devices.

As for FDE--enforcing it is easy. Doing that while also reliability and securely escrowing its recovery key is a much different story.

On the reliability side--not every solution out there is equally reliable when it comes to ensuring that the recovery keys actually make it into the MDM.

On the security side, I believe we're the only vendor that does CA pinning across the entire management lifecycle. Those stages are covered in great detail in the previously linked BlackHat whitepaper.

On the server side, I believe we're the only vendor to automatically encrypt sensitive fields (such as FileVault keys) before the hit the database, with per-customer AES keys (key generation and key management handled by Hashicorp Vault's transit backend).

Last but not least, there's the matter of generating evidence for auditors to prove you're doing the things you claim to do. We automatically surface the status of these things in the product, instead of requiring people to input boolean logic and generate custom reports.

Overall, Fleetsmith is just much more "turnkey" when it comes to checking the boxes for SOC 2 than competing MDM solutions.
A more precise term would be leaker, as somebody who commits a data breach or spillage (military term). Manning did release evidence that appears to constitute a potentially criminal act, however the quantity and material subject of information leaked greatly exceeded any single, or collection of, criminal acts at 750,000 unrelated items.

A whistleblower is a subset of leaking with the limited intention of exposing something specifically nefarious.

Or gloves filled with mercury...

Obviously, that's a joke but it is probably not as bad as you might think. Liquid elemental mercury is relatively harmless. Compare to mercury vapor, which is bad, and organic mercury, which is worse than bad.
I completely get that! I grew up in a large low income family, so I completely get that mindset of having a job above all else.

What would your plans be if you weren't to strike out on this business? Another option is to always moonlight your startup while working somewhere else. That gives you a bit more of a cushion if your business idea doesn't turn out.

It may seem like everyone is wiser than you, but that isn't true! Often times you will have a better understanding than you think :)
Absolutely. We have been heads down working mostly on the product to get it out before the demo day but we will make that a high priority. thanks for the feedback!
San Francisco public schools to shut for three weeks
>Slight tangent, but the excessive focus on tests is misguided.

The issue with our lack of testing is that we have no idea what we're dealing with, which is a big part of why the market's freaking out. If we had been ramping up testing months ago, when it was already a massive disruption in China and should have been clear that it was only a matter of time before it got to the US, then we would have a lot more information now.

This is why we need competent administrators running things like the CDC, the DoE, Homeland Security etc..., not political hacks.
you could also say that for people 80 and above, this epidemic will more than double their already significant chances of dying this year...
It's not less important.

It is important.

That's why software engineers want to be allowed to do their work without a silly patent system blocking their work.

Software is a medium in which patentable "inventions" come naturally to software engineers at a very high rate, often the same ideas as each other in response to the same problems.

(This suggests they aren't really rare insights at all and shouldn't be patentable, but the standard is too low for that.)

Sometimes tens or hundreds of patent-grade "inventions" a week for a great software engineer.

It isn't even possible for a great software engineer to know if what they are writing infringes on patents, existing or pending. It's just too difficult because of the high rate of duplicate "inventions" that come naturally.

Mechanical and electrical engineers also have great ideas and are blocked by patents. But the rate at which new, patentable ideas come to individuals in those fields seems to be lower, perhaps because it takes longer to actually make things, perhaps other reasons. Maybe even just because there are so many software engineers that duplication is unavoidable.
Thank god. It’s a mockery of the idea of America as a land of freedom when we have political prisoners who we abuse in this way.
Oh, God forgive if a company actually has a few million sales it must account for, or if a government body actually wants to control and verify what it does. No it's all because of stupid webscale! developers, because nobody ever does anything that isn't a web or finance startup! Ever!
Why would you want to throw away money paying an illegitimate debt? Donate to a trust that will take care of her instead.
The fighting between the parties hasn't been petty for years now. It's frequently a disagreement on basic factual information. Solving problems is something that can be done when everyone understands and agrees on what the problem actually is.

I don't expect to be able to craft useful public health policy in discussion with an antivaxxer or space exploration policy with a flat earther – the idea of "unite and act" is be absurd when dealing with people who lack the ability to admit they can be wrong/consider multiple perspectives/think critically. And yet that's basically where we stand today politically.

> Fact-checkers and scientists have scrambled to correct the misinformation coming out of the White House. (No, the virus has not been “contained” in America; no, testing is not available to anybody who wants it; no, people shouldn’t go to work if they’re sick.) But Trump’s message seems to have resonated with his base: A Quinnipiac University poll released this week found that just 35 percent of Republicans are concerned about the virus, compared with 68 percent of Democrats. [1]

If the other side doesn't even agree with you this is a problem that needs serious attention to be solved, how are we going to get our act together?

I wonder how the Red Hat people, committed to open source and now IBM employees, feel about this.
> I'd think that the social isolation feature has benefits whenever communicable diseases are in the air, which seems to be every winter.

Probably true, there's an advantage there.

But there's also an advantage in walking + transit, in that it helps people stay healthier.

Between the car-dominant US vs the more transit-friendly countries of Japan, Korea, and western Europe, one side has a health and lifespan advantage. And it ain't the US.

> The autonomous nature of the system means each CAR can change from road to road to route around congestion and construction, in a way that mass transit can't.

And yet, commute times in the US are basically average compared to other developed countries. Would you care to explain that?

> And of course, the time saved by being able to go from point to point rather than through mass transit hubs quickly adds up to many lifetimes.

Source on transportation time actually being lower in car-dominant areas?
I wish we developed this kind of capability so that we could opt-in. Wouldn't it be a hell of a lot better than nothing if 50% of the population chose to download the app, allow it to access our location and allow us to input symptoms and status, receive recommendations, then when this is all over, delete it?
Apple designs and manufactures (albeit through contracting) their products from the silicon up. People who buy Apple products care about the hardware as well as the software. Nevertheless I agree with you, Apple isn't a pure-hardware company and the market doesn't value them like that. Their P/E ratio is 20-22, roughly in the same ballpark as Google or Microsoft (higher 20s)

People who use AWS don't care about the metal that it runs on, as long as it does the job.

> Amazon revenue does not derive from Software. And should not be valued as such.

Ok. But it is (I think - I don't know that much about valuations). If you're certain that's wrong, you shouldn't be arguing with strangers over the Internet, you should be off making money from that insight.
I have started using hotels more lately after almost exclusively booking with airbnb for several years.
1 thing that I really appreciate about Airbnb still is that it allows you to stay in areas that usually don't have a lot of hotels, like Manhattan Beach CA or some other mostly residential area that also makes sense for tourist to stay. I would hate for them to fail and lose those options on a large scale
Gilead’s update on response to COVID-19 using Remdesivir
> the whole point of a jury is to verify that a single authority figure's decision to imprison someone is not invalid.

Juries never decided questions of authority and validity of judicial decisions. That's just not how juries work in common law.

> If a judge wants someone imprisoned for a valid legal reason, they should be able to get a jury of that person's peers to agree.

That may be your ideal picture, but again that's not how common law system works, and also not how it can work - if somebody would just refuse to comply with judicial orders, and you'd require a new jury trial each time one needs to be compelled to appear in hearing, answer a question, comply with a subpoena, etc. then you won't be able to enforce any decision and any judicial proceedings would be impossible as it would produce a fractal tree of sub-proceedings for every action, and any hostile actor would be able to bog down any proceedings by just refusing to comply with every judicial action. In actuality, there are enforcement actions in common law systems that can be performed without a jury trial. Jury trial is only necessary for conviction of a crime.
That's a good point. Even just using Github or Gitlab issues to track incidents with approvals is better than nothing.
If you have a modern Google branded device (say, a Pixel) encryption is mandatory out of the box. Something older (and so insecure by default because it isn't receiving security updates) like the Nexus 10 tablet has an actual user interaction step to enable encryption.

Except that d2c streaming implies fragmentation, and as more streaming services emerge it seems that piracy is back on the rise.

Perhaps Netflix offered something unique, or perhaps paying one provider and using one app is more of a benefit than it's given credit for.
Oh the bloated self importance.
At my last job, we were trying to hire an expert C++ programmer, and every interview our C++ wizard would ask, "How do you rate your C++ knowledge on a scale of 1..10?" and pretty much invariably get a "8 or 9!" kind of answer.

Then came the C++11 and C++14 questions, and yeah, they didn't have a clue.

The guy they hired admitted that he wasn't a wizard, but said that he really wanted to become one.
Huh, for some reason I thought RoyalRoad didn't have RSS feeds for its stories, but apparently it does. Nice!
Maybe! Generally, I get the impression auditors haven't changed their tune much, and we've seen success with people ELI5ing controls and why they are good.

For malware in particular, on the server side, we've seen:

a) auditors not asking after seeing convincing endpoint answers

b) people be successful with scanning container images and then just arguing that containers aren't long-lived enough to matter (and having other infrastructure level controls to argue that if something does leave a container you'll see it somewhere).

That only works if you actually have short-lived containers though, of course :D
Good question! It wasn't easy to get the question mark on the left-hand side, but it is possible.

Here's the Zod equivalent:

const C = z.object({
foo: z.string(),
bar: z.number().optional(),
});

type C = t.TypeOf<typeof C>;
/* {
foo: string;
bar?: number | undefined
} */

And here's the code that pulls this off:

type OptionalKeys<T extends z.ZodRawShape> = {
[k in keyof T]: undefined extends T[k]['_type'] ? k : never;
}[keyof T];

type RequiredKeys<T extends z.ZodRawShape> = Exclude<keyof T, OptionalKeys<T>>;

type ObjectType<T extends z.ZodRawShape> = {
[k in OptionalKeys<T>]?: T[k]['_type'];
} &
{ [k in RequiredKeys<T>]: T[k]['_type'] };

export class ZodObject<T extends z.ZodRawShape> extends z.ZodType<
ObjectType<T>, // { [k in keyof T]: T[k]['_type'] },
ZodObjectDef<T>
>{
// ...
